I’m sick of commenting on this story (if you follow me on Twitter, you understand), but I’ve put some links together that I think give the best overview of the Gizmodo/iPhone scandal - and none of these links go to Gizmodo itself. They’re playing coy and cute about the whole thing and not giving up the whole story.

My take on the entire situation: Gizmodo bought stolen property, lied to its readers and publicly humiliated and possibly ruined the career of a guy who seems to have made a truly honest mistake. Gizmodo is not a news site; it’s a sociopathic wannabe-TMZ for comment-trolling, Mountain Dew-chugging nerds.

That said, here are the links:

“How Gizmodo got the biggest iPhone scoop of all” by Andy Ihnatko (Chicago Sun-Times)

“Gizmodo and the Prototype iPhone” by John Gruber (Daringfireball.net)

The Conversation: Episode 12 - “the Gizmodo/iPhone Thing” - a podcast by Dan Benjamin, featuring Andy Ihnatko and John Gruber

Apple’s next iPhone: what we know (and what we don’t) by Paul Miller (Engadget)

This should tide you over until the next scandal (or, hopefully, until the phone is officially announced/released at this year’s WWDC).
