Hey Jesus. For my comment in the CIA jet thing I meant it merely in jest, poking at a conspiracy theory. Please don't get the wrong impression, I this stuff very interesting and enjoyed the article.

jesus, while i can see why you may have wanted to remove my star, i still disagree with the action. i'm not sure someone disagreeing with you warrants a star removal. while i know it is up to you, i would politely ask that you reconsider. have a great day.

Hey Jesus, I was starred then unstarred by you in my most recent comment. Just seeing what's up because it's saying I'm unstarred.

Greetings Mr. Diaz,
Sorry to bother you with something so trivial, but could you promote AdmiralPoopinpants detailed refutation [gizmodo.com] and [gizmodo.com] of carlitosrodas's slightly trollish remarks regarding Mayan history and culture on the Guatemalan sinkhole story (btw. stunning and so very disturbing, "The Gates of Hell Have Just Opened" indeed).
From carlitosrodas's other and later posts, I don't think he was motivated by anything as base as the 'pura sangre' attitude that there was nothing and nobody in the 'pre-Columbian' 'Americas' except 'widlife', but it makes me distinctly uncomfortable that something like that is sitting unchallenged and as a promoted comment on the frontpage of such a highly viewed (750,000+now) article. It's way too close to historical revisionism and holocaust denial.
It's probably too late to make any practical difference anyway, as the page had already gone from 250,000 to 650,000 views before I saw the reply (and I should have thought to ask you then, just before I went to sleep) but I still thought it was worthwhile asking you now.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
PS. For some reason I don't tend to comment here at gizmodo even though I view often (perhaps because I'm more of a longtime lyrical SF lurker at io9) but I wanted to say a thank you, to you, for promoting my first ever comment here last October at [gizmodo.com] , I was the one who had that photo on my wall and it was so nice to see that you (and then so many others) felt the same way about it as I did when I first saw it ... it has made it even more precious and evocative than it already was. Thank you.

Stop approving comments that disagree with your opinion. It's making it increasingly hard to hate you.

APPL stock now at 224.18 and rising!! Market cap 202.87B !! What's going on here, Jesus? Tell us the news that Wall Street seems to know?

Jesus, you rule.

Hey Diaz,

Love reading your posts, and while I'm new to participating in the Gizmodo community, I've been visiting the site for some time now. I know you've been following JJ Abrams and the Artoo bit in Star Trek, and I thought you'd be interested in the last episode of Fringe. The episode is named 'Grey Matter' and is on Hulu, and a car used by Peter and one of the FBI agents has a C3P0 vanity plate. *holler*

Keep up the great writing,

Nate

Better than an iTablet: How about an 'iPhone EX' that is expandable to a tablet?

Apple and 3rd parties can turn it into a tablet, by docking it inside a portable battery-powered touchscreen. Apple can boost the hardware of the iPhone, add a second docking connector so the old peripherals and docks still work with the existing connector, and add software support for peripherals that might be docked to it like touchscreens of various resolutions. That takes out the risk of launching a new platform for Apple while expanding their market into tablets, netbooks and e-readers,, and makes the iPhone EX more useful than other phones regardless of their specs.

The iPhone EX would do to personal computing what the iPod has done to personal stereos in cars, homes, etc.
