Glo Leash: It s a Dog s Light

“Is it just me, or does that photo look like she’s challenging her dog to a duel with a lightsaber?

Is the dog’s name Count Dookie? Anakin Dogwalker? Jabba the Mutt? Princess Flea-ah? Chewbarka?

Okay, I’ll stop now.”

iBoxers for Women

“Why is it that with some guys, women’s products always have to be evaluated not in terms of whether women might like it, or whether it’s cool that a company’s thinking of the women too, but in terms of what THEY think is sexy?? Or whether they think the model is sexy??

The place is crawling with immature, chauvinist keyboard kiddies. It’s environments exactly like this one that cause women to leave such forums and never return. This is supposed to be about offering a product for women who like technology. If you want more women around in technology, stop treating them like sexual objects all the time. That is the biggest reason why women get out of technology, and why the few that remain don’t hang around forums like this one.

Good luck getting female customers once they see pond scum like this being posted under women’s products.”

Blackberry Settles, World Rejoices

Gizmodo, I hate to do this to you, but I have a patent on “Comments” when the interaction mechanism is implemented via a web browser. I’m also serving notices to Engadget, Kotaku, Joystiq, Phonescoop and others along with WordPress, MovableType/Six Apart, Plone, and other related organizations/individuals/companies.

If you’d like to license “Comments” for use on your internet news/weblog site, please contact me and I will be happy to work out a affordable licensing plan. If you do not comply within 14 days I will have to contact legal to begin proceedings against you, which will involve asking for penalties in the area of $100 per unlicensed “Comment.” If it comes to this I will require a ballpark estimate of how many “Comments” your web site has illegally hosted.

I look forward to working with you on this and any further implementation of “Comments.”

Until then, I must ask that all Gizmodo clientele refrain from posting illegal “Comments” immediately.

Thank you.
