Gruber’s full article includes links to a screenshot, from before Lam locked his Twitter account and Google’s cache.

MacDailyNews Take: Obviously, his shiteous wannabe iPhone wasn’t worth stealing. There’s a selling point that Motorola ought to explore in their next ad. It’d be their first with an actual selling point.
You may have noticed that we haven’t been linking to any of Gizmodo’s stuff for some time now. This practice will continue into the foreseeable future.
We recently ran a poll that asked, “Can you trust an Apple-related report from Gizmodo?” The results, based on 4,394 responses, were as follows:
• 46.13% – No. Never.
• 21.69% – Not now, but maybe sometime in the future.
• 12.77% – Yes, but it depends on what’s in each article.
• 12.13% – Unsure.
• 7.28% – Yes, unequivocally. Gizmodo can be objective.

Ever since the Apple flap, every Apple article has some snarky dig at the company, usually perpetuating some stereotype about Jobs, Apple users, or the perceived problems with Apple products.
If you call them on it, then their legion of diaper-wearing crybaby moderators ban you from the site. They are all about being part of the ‘media’ when it benefits them, but they act like a bunch of amateurs living in their moms basement in the face of any criticism.
Glad to see MDN is not connecting with the gizmodo scumbags
Here’s another shitty thing Gizmodo did:

Um is that a link to Jiz-modo?
You can’t make this stuff up. Were it not a violation of law, I would have preferred that the person, who found Mr. Lam’s phone, turned it over to the Santa Clara County Prosecutor for him to see it it contained any criminally incriminating information about how Mr. Lam and/or others at Gizmodo acquired, possessed, and/or used the stolen prototype of the iPhone 4 that Mr. Lam and, through him, Gizmodo received.
Actually, it’s not just Gizmo that are d-bags, it’s all of Gawker which owns Gizmo who are d-bags.
That’s not actually irony, Alanis. But most people are so confused by now about what irony actually is, that the headline makes sense.
Why so much hate here at gizmodo? Did Brian Lam eat your lunch?
Now, that I think more on it, it would not have been a violation of law to turn my Lam’s phone into the Prosecutor. Under California law you can either leave it with the innkeeper or turn it over to the police, who would, I think, include the Prosecutor. The issue is whether the Prosecutor could have legally searched Mr. Lam’s phone, and that might depends on what the prosecutor presently knows about whether Mr. Lam has committed a crime, evidence of which may be on Mr. Lam’s phone. Shucks, I wish the phone has gone to the Prosecutor.
Oh, look, a story about Gizm … hey, this pizza is good!
I wonder what’s on TV? …
Today on CNN, I saw an interview of the current editor of Jezebel, who formerly worked for Gawker media. She seemed like an angry, agenda-driven, unapologetic sort…some of these new media types who feel so empowered are rather scary.

Have you been living in a cave? Brian Lam is a proven crook and a total egomaniac, who is a great example of what’s wrong with media in general. He’s a dick head, which you should have realized if you’ve read any the drivel that he pedals unless you’re one the mindless sheep that believes every thing that you read and hear on the internet.
