RIP Gizmodo

I won’t waste too much time on this blog post since Gizmodo has gotten more than enough attention for their recent stunt.

Here are my thoughts on the issue in no particular order:

If you are a AAPL stock holder, you should really be upset that Gizmodo didn’t do ‘the right thing’ and return the phone. Instead they chose to attempt to thwart an Apple release by releasing leaked information. It’s fun to read about rumors and see pictures of possible leaks, but when you knowingly have evidence that can really do damage, you’re crossing the line a bit. Can’t we just have fun and leave it at that?

Gizmodo will never be invited to a press event ever again.

I hope Jason Chen and the entire Gizmodo staff realizes that their actions have consequences outside of the bubble of their blog and Apple.

Gizmodo sure got lots of hits on their site but at what cost? I hope they save all that revenue to pay off the legal fees.

We’ll see how this all shakes out.
