Nick Denton's discussions
@Mama Penguino: It wasn't really levity. A commenter asked for proof it was really me in the Gawker open forum. (My options were the sign or a dunce's cap, which I didn't have available.) Read more
@Claire Standish: You're being generous to a fault. I'd like to think in future we'll be able to warn readers about online security without scaring them quite so badly. Read more
@FleurDeLis: We have changed the passwords for all our internal systems. Those were the passwords they used to access the user database. We haven't yet upgraded the encryption on the database. That takes time. But we're already being paranoid about passwords — as you might expect of a company that just had its… Read more
@northeastthreat: The hackers had access to your old Gawker password. And we're pretty sure we've now locked them out. So you should be good. I hope you used different passwords for the different accounts, however. Read more
@Gnatalby: On Saturday, we knew that our own email had been compromised. But we did not know the commenter user database had been copied and cracked. As soon as we knew that, we posted to the site. In retrospect, I do wish we'd warned you all when the breach seemed still a faint possibility. We have had threats in the… Read more
Hey, just moved over here from Gawker to let you know directly how sorry we are. Jezebel's commenters have made the site what it is. And we've jeopardized one of the most vital discussions on the web with our sloppiness. I'm here for your questions — though on technical matters I'm probably going to point you to the… Read more

Shouldn't you mention that Notes in Gmail now sync with Notes on the iPhone? So one doesn't really need any third-party app — at least not for basic note-taking. Read more
Thus passes Anna Holmes, the classiest of class acts. Read more
Okay, I'm still not clear. Owners of older iPhones won't be able to use Facetime. But will an iPhone 4 user be able to connect with friends on iChat? (Because otherwise the new video chat functionality won't be so useful at first.) Read more
So Wolff may have it backwards — generally speaking, women dominate most social media except Twitter, which skews male — at least if you count the participants who are actually active and successful, as opposed to the ones who just sign up. Read more
@t3knomanser: Why don't you just use the "VIP" feed mentioned in the post? Read more
@Tim Shutes: In another comment thread: Read more
@kelleydr001: What queries remain unanswered? We've shown you the workaround, explained the commercial logic, fixed the ad frequency on the excerpt feed. What else? You have questions about the tag feeds? Read more
