Thanks to the support of our dear readers, we have completed repairs to the floor of the first floor conference room, which we use for reviews. GIGAZINE's access analysis results for March 2025 look like this.



Announcement to our dear readers: Thank you for all the tips in our April Fool's

Day roundup on Tuesday, April 1st! We also put up a banner on that day asking for donations to the GIGAZINE editorial department , and we received a lot of support from our readers.

In fact, due to aging, the floor of the GIGAZINE editorial department's conference room had accumulated about 10 years' worth of moisture damage, to the point where the chairs the editorial staff sat on sank. However, thanks to the donation, the floor was peeled off and replaced in the same way!



In this way, the accumulation of daily support from readers is used for the GIGAZINE editorial department and servers, allowing us to diligently publish articles every day! Once again, we would like to express our gratitude to all the readers who supported us, thank you very much! The names of the readers who supported us this time can be seen below.

We are continuing to solicit financial and material support at https://gigazine.net/news/about/ , so please support us even if it's just 1 yen!

Announcement 2. Thank you for applying for our Spring 2025 giveaway ! The lottery will be held soon, and winners will be notified by email and gifts will be shipped to each address in sequence. Winner notification emails will only be sent from the '@gigazine.net' domain, but there is a high probability that the email will be treated as spam, and there have been many unfortunate cases in the past where people have been slow to realize they had won, so please be sure to check your email regularly when the time comes!

Notice 3. GIGAZINE's site design changes responsively to the web browser's width, from three columns, two columns, or one column. Previously, the site switched to a two-column display when the width narrowed below 1380px. However, we've changed this border to maintain three columns up to 1240px , and removed the 'YouTube video playback rankings' from the right column. This makes it easier to access the category list, past article search bar, and popular article rankings in the right column.
