Loftus and Matt Buchanan are quite good. I hope they'e getting paid a lot, because being associated with the likes of Jesus Diaz is not what I'd call a career- or even life-enhancing.

Have you read the comments on gizmodo?

They're trying? Trying what? What they usually do is copy-paste from the source. That does not add much value. Hence, I ask again: where's the URL to the original press release? I don't want to read such great news from a website that allows comments from retards who know nothing about Physics...

I have an easy win for you. Stop reading the comments! They are almost universally awful.

True. But would it be too far-fetched to claim that the quality of a website / blog can be indirectly measured by the quality of its comments? A quality blog should not tolerate certain comments which are more appropriate for YouTube.

Sigh, when you find the answer to that question, let me know ...

They will never sell Chanel No. 5 in gas stations because it would cheapen it. Likewise, a blog that tolerates retarded trollish comments looks cheap. If I were one of the IBM scientists who worked on that project, I would hate to have my work publicized by a blog as distasteful as Gizmodo.

Call me elitist if you will. BTW, my question was rhetorical.

If you're elitist, it's in a good way. I agree.
