Gizmodo Super Bowl XLII Tech Commercial Awards
This year was a pretty incredible Super Bowl (especially after last year when one Giz staffer's hometown Bears lost).

Here are our favorite tech-oriented spots from the night, designated with some awards that we pretty much made up after polishing off a sixer. More » -

Mac Chick of the Month is the iTunes/Pepsi Girl, Mandy Amano
Context: The Super Bowl iTunes/Pepsi ad from 2005 featured a cute girl by the name of Mandy Amano who set the internets ablaze with her dancing. Websites such as thatpepsigirl sprang up just to keep track of her comings and goings. Wired's Leander Kahney, whom Silicon Valley sister site Valleywag thought was Fake Steve Jobs for a couple hours, even called her the new Ellen Feiss. That's quite an Apple rep to live up to. More »

Update on NFL's Panties: Still Bunched
Responding to what happened a couple days ago, churches around the country have put the kibbosh on "traditional" Super Bowl parties while the NFL continues to put the fear out, "standing by its interpretation of copyright law." Apparently, enough private homeowners are worried about Ray Lewis busting down their door that Slate came to the rescue, explaining the "copyright law" the NFL keeps referring to.The 55-inch limit cited by the NFL applies only to public showings of the Super Bowl, not private gatherings. According to U.S. copyright law, Josh is in the clear so long as he doesn't take his gigantic TV to a public place, or invite "a substantial number of persons" to his house—more than a normal circle of family and social acquaintances.

Sneak Peek at CBS' High-Def Super Bowl Gear
We know you'll be watching the Super Bowl in HD come February 4th, but ever wonder what it takes to bring you this colossal event in glorious high-def? Well, the folks at CBS wanna tell you as they've hired over 500 staffers, 47 HD cameras, and even went through the trouble of replacing the lights at Miami's Dolphin Stadium all in the name of high-def. But at the top of their tech list this year is a new super-slow motion camera called the Phantom V10 which has the ability to capture 2,000 frames per second. The camera, which is made by Vision Research, will be joined by six of Sony's latest super-slo-mo camera systems and an army of robotic, unmanned cameras. Enough gadgetry to make you a football fan—even if you're not. More »

This spot will kick off a retail campaign from LG called "Complete Your Set" that focuses on having flat screen TVs and home theatre systems. More »
