Gizmodo Jumps the Shark →  April 21, 2010

Gizmodo bought an iPhone last week. Rumor has it they paid upwards of $5000 to $10,000 for this iPhone, which is a bit much, even by Apple’s pricey standards, but evidently the reason for this outrageous price was that this device is a pre-release version of Apple’s new fourth-generation iPhone that is to be released this June. The internet went wild.

In the same week we see Google report crazy high earnings (they now have $26 Billion in cash), we’re reminded exactly WHY the company continues to impress.
