Do you have Flash or Adblock on? There's a campaign for a company with a blue title bar right now. Read more

I have a Fiskars hatchet that I've used for years. It was one of those "I'll probably regret hiking with this" purchases that I've taken with me on every hike since. Light, sturdy, handy. Read more

This has been working for me for months. If it's not working for you, send tech an email with your OS and browser. Read more

The iPad version looks more or less like the web version. It just has rendering options that make swiping better and more logical. Read more

It's like this (more or less): Work on new design for 18 months; grow frustrated that it keeps not getting launched; damn torpedoes; launch new design; discover tons of issues with it but still like the general ideas; labor to fix and improve the new design. Plus, you know, designs change and improve, especially after… Read more

It's still not where we have envisioned it. (And I don't think the old one was broken.) But I have seen things that are quite lovely and usable and—dare I say?—bettery. Read more

I'm 99% sure that messaging and hearts are coming back. I've never heard anyone say there were plans to nuke them forever. It's just, you know, we're playing massive catch-up. Read more

And there will be an update to the m.kotaku.com version very soon, as well. Read more

I believe it drops a cookie, so once you're in your preferred mode it should stay for 30 days. Read more

There was a burble for about 20 minutes while we rolled out the new design, but everything is switched over now. Read more

Have you tried the new Blog View? It's very much like the old design. Read more

I've seen it. It exists. And it works very well. We're *so* close to getting it out there to the world. Read more

Oh, that is a good idea. I'll tell tech. Read more

It's not, like, the best thing ever or anything. But I still thought it was amusing! Read more

We are linking directly to the story on io9. I bet you're getting caught up in the hashbang quirks or different countries stuff. (Which, you know, our bad.) The good news is that as of next week (Tuesday, probably) all the Gawker sites will be on the .1 version of the new design which should fix both those issues. Read more
