His Flikr photos were put up on Flikr (a very public site) by him, not by Gizmodo.

Edit: I suppose they might have gotten that pic from his Flikr site -- dunno about that. I didn't invade the geek's privacy space by going there to look.

The filename is the guys name so I'd say that it was him and it appeared in the status bar when my mouse was over the image. It does say Flickr as well however so they had gotten it from there.

Either way, is it essential to the story that they needed to reveal his name? I guess I'd be more pissed off if this had happened to me than you would have been if it had happened to you.
