Gizmodo

Gizmodo is a technology and science news website founded in 2002, known for gadget reviews, tech industry coverage, and irreverent commentary.

The site gained notoriety for publishing leaked information about unreleased products: I saw it on Gizmodo before the official announcement.

Part of the former Gawker Media network.
