Ryan Block (born June 25, 1982) is a technology journalist and critic. He was the editor-in-chief of AOL’s Engadget before he co-founded the community site gdgt.
Block joined technology news website Engadget as a part-time reporter in June 2004, and started full-time in June 2005. He went on to replace the site's creator Peter Rojas as editor-in-chief in 2007. On May 16, 2007, Block posted a leaked internal email from Apple in which it was revealed that the iPhone and Mac OS X Leopard would both be delayed. The email was later confirmed as fake by Apple PR, but it was reported that its posting by Engadget took $4 billion off Apple's market cap Block has since noted that the approximate $4b market cap drop was almost immediately pushed back up after he posted that the email was forged.read more ...read less ...
