How To Safely Microwave a Turkey
Don't look at me that way. You know that you've at least considered it. This Thanksgiving, why slave away all day over a hot oven baking a turkey when you have space age microwave technology right in your own kitchen? According to the USDA, "Turkeys can be successfully cooked in a microwave oven—whole or in parts." And they've kindly included a complete set of useful tips on their site. More » -

Thanksgiving Photoshop Contest Gallery of Champions
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you've enjoyed your unhealthy overeating and awkward familial encounters. While you take a break from watching football, fighting with your dad, or forcing yourself to throw up, I invite you to take in some brilliance provided by your fellow Gizmodo readers. The challenge was to bring the first Thanksgiving into the 21st century. We didn't get as many entries as past contests, and I think they all used the same, say, three source images, but that's not to say this Gallery of Champions is any less impressive than past galleries. So now, onward, to the victors! More » -

Top 100 Things Gizmodo is Thankful For
What do you have to be thankful for? When Thanksgiving comes around every year, it makes us start thinking about all that is good in the gadget world. The Gizmodo team got together this morning and started blurting out stuff, all the (mostly) gadget-related things that we're glad to have around. The result is this long—but by no means comprehensive or in order of preference—list of all we're thankful for. Please, feel free to add anything we've missed, and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Photoshop Contest: Bring the First Thanksgiving Into the 21st Century
It's that time again… yes, time for another Gizmodo Photoshop Contest! This time, it's a little different. Rather than providing you with a source image to debase, we want to see you be a bit more creative. So here's your task: deliver us an image of the first Thanksgiving — you know, the one with pilgrims and Indians and all that crap — but add some 21st-century tech to it. Did the Indians come bearing Roombas rather than corn? Sounds unlikely! Did Master Chief carve the turkey? Probably not! But that's the magic of Photoshop, no? Go nuts with this, really. The most creative and entertaining entries will get in the Gallery of Champions. Read on, brave contestants, for details on how to enter. More »
