    Conan O’Brien, do you want to be a CrunchGear intern for a little while?

    All of us here at CrunchGear are fairly angry at the way NBC has treated you, Conan. So here's our offer: if you and the peacock decide to part company (and you really ought to, provided the network takes care of your staff and everyone else who moved from New York to Los Angeles, and provided you walk away with some fat cash), we'd like to offer you an internship. That's right: Conan O'Brien, CrunchGear intern. That has a nice ring to it, no?

    Modern Warfare 2 for Xbox 360 leaked all over the Internet (a full week before its official release)

    As I cleverly remarked in the official CrunchGear chat room, that a video game leaks a few days before its release is par for the course. When the biggest video game of the year leaks a full week before its release date, it's worth noting. So that's what I'm doing right now: Activision's Modern Warfare 2 has leaked. It's available where you usually find such things.

  • What, if anything, is stopping you from leaving your iPod for the Zune?

    What, if anything, is stopping you from leaving your iPod for the Zune?

    Posted on September 15, 2009 | No Comments
    A comment from earlier in the day sparked a bit of a conversation in the official CrunchGear chat room: what's to stop someone from ditching the iTunes-iPod “universe” and switching to the Zune HD? (We're all pretty keen on the Zune HD for whatever reason.) Those of you with iPhones are pretty much stuck using iTunes, but what's to stop someone from saying, “You know, I've used an iPod in one form or another for the past five years, so I think I'm gonna try something new for a change.”? Let's see what's up.

    Today is my last day with CrunchGear

    What the hell? It's been three years since I first joined this motley crew? I guess so. I’m a man of few words so I’ll keep this short. This is my last day with CrunchGear and TechCrunch. Thanks to Mike, Heather and John for giving me the opportunity to do something that I’ve grown to love over the last few years.

    We discuss a lot of wacky ideas in the CrunchGear chat room every single day. Most of the time, though, these ideas come to nothing and we just get on with being mildly informative. Not today! Presenting, um, a t-shirt we designed! It's on CafePress, because that's all we know how to use.
