Default Gizmodo's biasness revealed

"I hope HD DVD rises from lousy sales ratios and destroys you, Blu-ray. I hope they burn out your eyes with inferior laser technology until you cry and then realize you can't cry without them."

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/ifa2007/h...ent-295450.php

Anything you read on this Gizmodo is biased towards HD-DVD. Most of us knew it before but it is in plain site with this article. I suggest the author get some sleep. Can someone yank this guys pass?

I'm sure they are biased... but the article seems to be a sarcastic jab more than hatred towards BD, as they seemed to have got worked up over the Hitachi announcement.

Hd-dvd is not going gently into the night, but go they will. The fight is always greatest when you understand the end is near.

"totally destroys you" is not a compliment. Or is this a new endearing phrase that hasn't made it to the West coast yet?

"Totally Destroys You"

...thats a phrase someone would use to be sarcastic, not s-e-r-i-o-u-s.

Relax man, that article was to be funny. Not biased.

Im sure they could have some bias in them, but that was a poor article to use as an example.

Jack nailed it exactly, I think you read it out of context.
