ITGumbo: spicing IT up

... or with this comic it's more like a porthole, but on the internet we think those mean other things these days.

Anyway, do you ever get to thinking that it's kind of silly how social-networking-focused all the media conglomerates have become these days? Not that it's not important, only that the new "Pick the next Heroes' character over your sprint phone" ploy seems like one part hula-hoop, two parts "if you have to ask, you'll never know."

News of Google's plans to release a "phone" in the next year have caused a tsunami of confusion in the traditional media.

Sample TV/radio reporter:
"I don't get it: Is it like a phone??? And if it's not like a phone, then what is it??? I can only tell one thing for sure, this development is going to RUIN EVERYTHING!?!?!"

Okay, so maybe not that dyer, but it seems this week that not everyone is so positive about Google not being evil.
