Comments on: Stoking the Blu-ray camcorder rumor mill

Based on a post on a Japanese Web site, Gizmodo has decided to put its rumor mill into high gear, speculating about the possibility of Blu-ray camcorders from Hitachi.

Media hypocrisy

Please don't be such a hypocrite. Isn't Crave not full of smoke and mirrors, like CNET is? Are you going to tell us that you don't report sometimes on vapor stories, knowingly or by mistake? Are you going to tell us that you don't make errors? That you are not late to report news? That you snatch stories from both Gizmodo and Engadget without linking to them?

Who are you kidding?

FYI, Gizmodo also reported on those camera prototypes at CES, as did Engadget. Look in Google. They were there, on the field, beating you like they both always do. That's why they are number one and two. And yes, both Gizmodo and Engadget reported on the Hitachi camera article from Impress. Crave didn't. And?

What I find funny, however, is that you only mention Gizmodo, which apparently is now the number one tech blog in visits and pageviews after skyrocketing during the past few months, but you don't mention Engadget. What is that about?

Obviously, there must something else here you are not telling us.

Here are my thoughts on this article: When you start to approach the quality and promptness of both sites, when you only publish facts with no agenda behind, when you report always the first, then, and only then, you will have the luxury to write this kind of articles.

Sadly, that's not happening. It seems to me like you should walk the talk, instead of just talking too much.

You need a hobby...

I can't imagine why someone who doesn't work for Engaget or Gizmodo would take the time out of their day to write such a negative and truly pointless post. Get a life, man. Seriously
