Does it mention trust in a javascript-based world?

@Bob A. - Good point. Opening the linked site with Firefox and Noscript shows very little. Most of the page, including Bruce's text, is generated with Javascript. What are they up to? I haven't time to read through and see what all the mass of JS does, but my instinct is - don't trust Gizmodo!

If the book had included everything the reviewer wanted, it would have been much bigger ... perhaps a sequel?

"Firefox and Noscript shows very little..."

All Gawker sites have been doing that for at least a year. When I encounter a page like that, I treat it like a dead site: try to remember not to go there again.
