  • popularme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+59that's a beautiful family. i hope they're safe and sound...
    • d8cam, on 10/12/2007, -47/+2I sure do love this website jameskim.com. Oops, I mean digg.com
  • fanboydcs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23This is the power of the internet, hopefully they come home safely.
    • drathosX3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16It would be pretty funny if James Kim goes online just to check some emails, goes on digg.com, and sees all these articles about him, and goes "....Whoa...uh, honey? You're gonna laugh when you hear this..."
    • lilricky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I too will happily laugh in relief if that is so, but with each day that passes, that theory becomes less and less likely. Lets just hope and pray for the best.
  • anicejew, on 10/12/2007, -224/+4I hope they get found dead.
    • ryanbutterworth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Wow... just wow
    • Chicagoland, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19This guy is just starving for attention.

      I just block/report people like this.
    • podcoder, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28@ anicejew - and i hope you rot in hell you sick s.o.b.
    • thunderer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I think you seriously need to work on your karma.
    • koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21How can you say something so horrible? Your digg username is 'A Nice Jew' for God's sake!
    • wafflez, on 10/12/2007, -35/+10>_> wtf's your problem jew?
    • randysouth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Well anicejew, if you ever go missing, remind me to put it on Digg then bury it!
    • mrfresh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I really have enjoyed watching James Kim through the years. I really am praying for their safe return. The fact that his whole family is missing is even more devastating, especially with such young kids.

      I am upset that there isn't much more news about this.
    • GT35R, on 10/12/2007, -12/+8I wish they find you dead, you stupid son of a bitch.
    • jackwaters, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3wtf..... I just feel sorry for you that you would even joke about this....
    • lobbster, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Why did the jew play NFL ?

      to get his quarter back
  • Suplyndmnd, on 10/12/2007, -72/+7Sorry they have disappeared, but shouldn't this still be filed in the appropriate area? This isn't tech news.
    • lustre, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Of course it is tech industry news. If Dvorak or Mossberg were missing it'd also be tech industry news.
  • rickdini1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13It is nice to see the community come together. They have been missing for a week now, I'm getting more nervous each day, something is not right.
  • dev1t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7My guess is it was assumed that because he is a CNet editor it is industry news. Makes sense.
  • iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -36/+7In worst case, some idiots have kidnapped them because they are known to be rich. I hope they will find them!
  • matija, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6i hope they are ok!

    i wonder though, why we dont see so many front page entries for missing non celebrity families..
  • robohoe, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4"Maybe they just ran away to get away from all that popularity and being famous...right daddy...daddy?"

    :(

    Seriously, hope they find them.
  • iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -43/+3Why the hell did you digg me down? Get a life losers!
    • thunderer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Because that is _not_ the worst that can happen, and to say otherwise is akin to taking the situation lightly.

      I hope they find them as well.
    • drathosX3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10People dugg you down because it was inappropiate... in a way, it was like going to a funeral and shouting "he deserved it"
  • darnfabulous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's times like these I wish I had super powers. Other than that hopefully the "power of the internet" can help. Get this dugg so more people see it. Well, people from Oregon/Washington at least.
  • iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2Well you have to see what might have happen.
  • alrahman, on 10/12/2007, -26/+4@anicejew
    wtf is your problem you retard??

    A Nice Jew?! yeah ***** right.
    • thunderer, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Yes. Take the high road and insult the mentally retarded.
      Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
    • cazoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6the best way to deal with a troll is to simply block them. its not worth your time or energy to get upset.
    • Axim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3no calling someone a retard is pretty fair game, lets not get too politically correct here
  • NewPunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I hope they're safe. The Digg community is looking for you guys.
    I'm in Canada so I doubt I could help find them, unless they were kidnapped by beavers and brought up river into Toronto...
  • molobolo, on 10/12/2007, -22/+0He has been 'missing' for what not even a week? and its already a big deal? sounds fishy but I hope he comes back safe.
    • bdbr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10@molobolo: "He has been 'missing' for what not even a week? and its already a big deal?"

      Just how long do you think people can go missing with no food, water, or shelter? We're about at the point where it stops becoming a rescue operation, and starts becoming a search for bodies. Damn straight its a big deal.
    • molobolo, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1What makes you think he has no water or food? thinking of the worse already? I doubt hes an idiot like most people.
    • shad0w, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You don't find anything wrong with the fact that his ENTIRE family is missing? It's not like a teenage daughter running away from home. This is a whole family that disappeared.
  • Deuterium, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I wonder if he had a CCWP?
  • tomisina, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6how frequently do entire families just go missing? isn't this newsworthy outside of the fact that he has something to do with tech? or am i mistaken and people go missing all the time....
    • colincornaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Not often. Add to the fact that Seattle and Portland roads were awful at the time he went missing due to snow, and there is a lot of reason to worry. Family and friends say they normally checked in every day, and the last time anyone saw them was Sunday.
    • bdbr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wouldn't say its "common" that families go missing, but it seems to happen at least once a year in Oregon. Most of them are camping, hiking, skiing, etc - not just traveling to another town. People just don't take the winter weather seriously enough.
    • LowRentDiggs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Last spring a family lived 17 days out of their motorhome after being stranded in the Oregon mountains. Hopefully this will be a repeat of that.

      http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-03-21-missing-family_x.htm
  • growler1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Does he or his wife have a gps enabled phone? I'm positive the authorities have thought of this, but one idea would be to do a maps mashup of locations the days of the trip that the cell provider has data for.

    Here's hoping for the best.
  • dmann, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Heres a prayer (or a hope for those who dont pray) that the kim's were just burned out and decided to take an extended road trip or something. Lets all hope they end up being spotted at a jackalope museum in the dakotas or some such thing.
  • KeyLimePie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Their kids are so adorable. Please be safe.
    • d8cam, on 10/12/2007, -19/+4They better be adorable...or else I'm not helping out.

      *sarcasm*
  • flimsy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Hope ther're safe.
  • ryanknapper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I _just_ saw him on my Tivo, talking on CNet about mp3 players. I hope they're found soon.
  • iAlex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3This is so odd :/. I hope they find them soon.
  • FormulaOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1
    I hope they're found alive and safe. As someone that's enjoyed watching James on the Screen Savers and CNET his insightful reviews on technology have always been from the view of the consumer as opposed to the many shills out there.
  • dolphumous, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Saabaru
  • FushBuck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hope they are found safe. Best wishes for the friends and family!
  • Brokenmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2He'l be full of joy when he sees how much we all care for him =D
  • yonas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I really hope they're stranded somewhere and not....d-e-a-d. :-(
  • tdskate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Has this story been on national TV yet?

    And after all this, will he be able to continue his job because i liked what he did, Crave, with Veronice Belmont, it's awesome!
    • bdbr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4To be fair, people get lost in the Oregon wilderness fairly frequently, and it never makes national news. Maybe if one was a big celebrity, but a CNEWS editor? Nah.

      The local (Portland) news has been reporting this regularly. They even had a short interview of the last guy who saw them. They said the latest suspicion is that his GPS might have misled him onto some small forest road. There seem to be a lot of comments about cell phones; I suggest you look at coverage maps - there is virtually no cell phone coverage between the valley where I-5 runs and the coast.
  • maxshanly, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3I know you're all probably going to moan at me for saying this, but they're probably dead. :(
  • jak119, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2let's hope they're found safe and sound
    • motang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah I do hope they are found safe and sound.
  • TekeeTakShak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So much ***** happens in this world. It's unfortunate that people like them got the target =/
  • billpoly, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3DIGG USERS - CALL TO ACTION

    I hate that I am using a sad story such as this to address this point, but I've had enough and I feel that I have to do what I have to do.

    I am a regular CNET reader, listener, and viewer. James Kim has been in my web browser, iPod, and television on such a regular basis that he's become like an old friend. Reading some of the comments posted on Digg against the many stories about the Kim family disappearance, it's clear that I'm not the only one who feels this way.

    On the other hand, I have felt physically ill reading some of the comments posted against stories about the Kim family by several users of Digg. I have read through heartless comments complaining that stories are dupes, miscategorized, and other such violations of the almighty "Digg rules." I won't deign to reproduce some of the more despicable comments I've read because they are below any acceptable level of decency and humanity.

    Digg has the potential to become a great community of individuals sharing intelligent discourse on a variety of subjects. However, it has instead increasingly become a magnet for a large population of truly depraved individuals. I still have hope that these individuals are in the minority and Digg can be taken back from them.

    So, Digg users, this is your call to action. Join me in blocking users who add to the deterioration of the Digg community. The more of us that block the contemptible degenerates that troll Digg, the faster they will become invisible to the community at large.

    Allow me to help you on this path. The following is the list of users that I have blocked simply based on their comments against stories about the Kim family:

    gyroscopic
    anonymoustroll
    mrwiggl3s

    I will reproduce this list on every existing story I find about the Kim family and every new story that is posted. I will post it as a comment on every blog post or news story that I find about the Kim family. I will post it on CNET's forums. I will also maintain and grow this list with each new posting. I’m certain that even responses to this comment will add several new names to the list.

    Digg users, it's time we banished the depraved few that seem to exist only to deteriorate the quality of the Digg community.
  • Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why do I get the sinking feeling that this site will likely be a memorial page a week from now? :
  • maxshanly, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Yes and how on Earth did I say anything against them? All I said was that they're most likely dead, whenever anyone goes missing for that amount of time they're usually dead. You can't "block" my comment for simply stating something that will probably later become obvious.

    I hope they're safe, but things never turn out the way we hope.
  • Fallout75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm praying that they are alright. When I first found out this happened my stomach dropped.
    It makes me quite sad to think of what might have happened to them. It makes it even more sad that there are children involved. I'm nervous to find out the end result.
  • justpeachey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I am not a survival expert but I think they have some things going for them. They are in a very crash worthy car -side impact airbags etc. They probably had some food in the car because they were on a road trip with a 7 yr old and are in a wet area to get water. If they were on an extended road trip they have dry clothes in suitcases. As long as they stay with the vehicle-stay hydrated, keep each other warm and ration what little food they have, they can make it over a week. They have multiple agencies looking for them. As long as foul play is not involved I say they have a pretty good chance of being found alive. There was a similar case --The Stolpa Family (13 yrs ago) -- getting stranded on a backroad in winter in Nevada with a 5 month old baby and they survived over a week with a couple of boxes of crackers. They made it. The dad was a Marine though and may have had survival training. I believe there is a movie about their experience.
