Gizmodo dedicating its sight to hurt the iphone 4

Yeah Giz is pretty terrible. After the iPhone debacle, they started drinking the Google juice hard. It didn't bother me much, until they went on and on about how Apple has fallen, how the iPhone sucks in comparison to any Android phone, and so on. Their credibility is low in my eyes. I prefer Engadget. Unbiased, well-reasoned, and informative.
Yes. Until the iPhone 4, they were posting items that I agree with. Now they are posting items I don't agree with. Therefore, I unsubscribed. This is also why Fox News is the only channel I tune into. Now please stop pointing out my hypocrisy on online forums.
It's funny how Giz was just recently being criticized on Android forums for being too pro-Apple. Engadget was being mentioned as more balanced there too.
Really doesn't matter that they are biased or not, its just very evident that since they stole apples phone they have changed.
off topic i know: but why does a lot of shows mock fox?
being from the uk, when i watch things like family guy they love slating them???

If by "unbiased" you mean "unethical," then yes, I agree.
Easy pickings of the left-wing's boogeyman. Left runs the media here, so there you go. For example you never see Keith Olberman (MSNBC) parodies. He is pretty loony himself, but he speaks truth to power to the left so he is left unscathed.
There is a difference between the Fox local affiliates and the other divisions of Fox. Its mostly a US thing since Fox News gets criticism of being an incredibly terrible network due to some of their programming choices like Glenn Beck.
easier said than done once all of your contacts, txts and mobile me etc are on the iphone, im sure there are ways to transfer them somehow but i cant be bothered and really i shouldnt have to, its not really a defense to say just return it or get a case or hold it differently is it? cant believe that people are defending them still, i bought a product, for a high price i might add, and it should work!
baaaahhhhhhh
It is that easy, I bought a htc hd2 it sucked I returned it. I bought a nexus one the battery sucked I returned it. Back up your contacts and return it.
How do you correlate unbiased and unethical?
Its not left wing media its normal media.
Thank you... mine also... in fact my 3GS hardly ever worked in my computer room of all places. The iPhone 4G works just fine.
People need to just chill... if something IS wrong Apple will fix it.. that is established in their track record.
I know people are having real problems but chill; in spite of that is seems that a lot of anti-Apple dialogue has fallen on this site... I think what brings out the fanboi in Mac users is when the opinions are not objective or are tinged with insane demands... very tantrum like behavior that is difficult to respond to ... just saying...
their tone has changed for sure.
for some time they were fanboys much like yourselves but now they are snippy

Yeah, they've pretty much turned into a "post as much negative information about Apple" as possible.
The real kicker was the "are Apple fanbois a cult?" post? Really? Just because a group of people are loyal to a product? Does that make people that only buy Fords a cult? People that only wear Levi jeans a cult?
I guess they changed their whole tune on Apple when Steve sent the cops after them for buying a stolen iPhone 4 prototype, tearing it down, posting information about it and then trying to extort Apple into providing a letter of admittance that it was their phone before returning it? Yeah, Gizmodo has no leg to stand on in this case, they know it and so they are now trying to do all they can to push bad publicity Apple's way.
Good luck with that.

Hmmm. Just checked the Gizmodo "sight" this morning and 4 out of 5 of today's headlines are not even Apple related. The one article that is Apple-related is the story about "No reception issue. Stay tuned". So, no, they are not "dedicating their sight" to hurt the iPhone 4.
