I'm Craving John Falcone's Cool New Hat

So, maybe a few of you are ticked off at Gizmodo for that whole iPhone prank. But in my esteemed opinion, they've righted themselves, because they gave CNET senior editor and fellow Craver John Falcone a cool hat and a totally butt-kicking nickname. He's not just John Falcone anymore, he's John "Wayne" Falcone, the "Sheriff-Geek" of CNET! He can brandish five universal remotes at a time and look darned good doing it. Trust me, you don't want to be running into this guy in a dark alley late at night.

Forget solar-powered fan hats from Japan. They're for sissies. The headwear to be sporting among tech gurus these days is a white cowboy hat. And, by the way, I'm really pumped that I work down the hall from Falcone. Because the next time I see him, I'm going to be greeting him with a cheerful "What up, Sheriff?"

P.S.: Gizmodo, if you ever run into a situation where you feel like assigning action-movie identities to Cravers again, I have a tip for you. Mike Yamamoto has always wanted to be a pirate.
