As you probably know, Instagram's new Terms of Use, which stirred up quite an Internet tizzy, kick in tomorrow. Terms of Use for websites, are for the most part are full of the same impenetrable legalese. Instagram's Terms are no exception. We asked our intrepid Associate Counsel, Jesse Ma, Esq., to translate it into English, so you can actually understand it. Here it is: Read More >>

It's January. You read Twitter and The Blogs and have a vague recollection of every major news outlet in the country sending some poor reporter to Las Vegas this month, every year, to stand in a convention center and talk about technology. This is CES, the Consumer Electronics Show. But it's more than just a collection of gadgets. Read More >>

My friend Russ designs barbecues for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, where the starting price is around £6,000. He just sent me this video, a glimpse at their manufacturing process. Man, these are sweet pieces of kit—all hand-made in an adorable town in Michigan, USA, able to burn wood, gas, or charcoal. *drool* Read More >>

Gizmodo Twitter friend Ben Dreyfuss bought his mum an iPhone for Christmas. Ben is a good son! Christmas morning: Mama D. tears open the package, finds a shiny aluminium bundle of joy, and then decides to set it up. One problem: When she called her network to activate the thing, they told her that her new iPhone was stolen. Whaaat? Read More >>

BBQ devotees come in all forms: those who meticulously craft the most delectable fire-cooked treats, and those who just want to live the life. Fortunately, this means that grill-masters are, overall, pretty easy to shop for. Read More >>

I've got some family shit going on right now, and it's making me nostalgic. The memories floating to the surface are overwhelmingly of my sister and my parents. But right there along with my family are the times I spent with technology—a surprisingly prominent cast member in the movie inside my mind. Read More >>

I don't really like Android's SMS at all. (I'm on HTC's Sense-flavored Jellybean, btw.) In particular, the lock-screen notifications really bug me—there's no way to see if you've gotten more than one message. And group messages don't really work right. Got one you like? Read More >>

Despite the problems I had with the HTC One X, I find myself missing it. More specifically—and I never thought I'd hear myself saying this—I find myself missing Android. The widgets, specifically. I just had that thing so damn dialed in. Anyone else? Read More >>

That Bowers & Wilkins makes excellent audio products is not up for discussion. The company's product history speaks for itself, ranging from outstanding iProduct docks to speakers made from diamonds. Even the Queen weighed in. A few years ago, B&W started making headphones, releasing the sensational P5s. The P3s are that product's little brother: £80 cheaper, with an additional trick up their cables. Read More >>

We've been using the One X for three solid months, and this is a truly awesome phone. But we've got a few gripes: Read More >>

Bicycle commuters like me face a conundrum: Use regular platform pedals and get about half the power out of our strokes (pulling up is just as important as pushing down), or use "clipless" pedals and deal with the accompanying annoying/ugly special shoes. Read More >>

Sonos is bad-ass: Brainless setup, a seamless backend that affords easy access to all of your music (be it streaming or locally-stored), and good sound from its standalone networked jukeboxey Zone Players. Notice the term "good sound." Not "great sound." While the self-contained S3 and S5 sound very nice, they're simply too compact to deliver rump-shaking beats. Read More >>

Maurice Sendak was important to us here at Gizmodo: His stories inspired us to follow our own internal compasses when our parents told us to stop wasting our time skateboarding or making movies or playing with gadgets. In an unhappy coincidence, we visited Best Made Co.'s New York City workshop on the day of Sendak's death. They were pretty broken up about it. Read More >>

There are many things the new iPad is: A lovely object, a spec bump, the future of home computing, the best tablet on the market. And there are many things the iPad New is not. But we're going to skip right to the end of that list and hit you with the main point -- it is not worthy of a press conference. Read More >>

I am not a Navy Seal. I don't need a fixed-blade, full-tang pocket sword with a tanto blade and a Rockwell factor of 58. I open a lot of boxes and trim my nails with this 50-plus year-old pen knife. It used to be my grandfather's. I'm named after him. He died before I was born. Read More >>
