Unattributed Quote:


CES has no shortage of displays. And when MAKE offered us some TV-B-Gone clickers to bring to the show, we pretty much couldn't help ourselves. We shut off a TV. And then another. And then a wall of TVs. And we just couldn't stop. (And Panasonic, you're so lucky that 150-incher didn't have an active IR port.) It was too much fun, but watching this video, we realize it probably made some people's jobs harder, and I don't agree with that (Especially Motorola). We're sorry.

Gizmodo remotely shutting LCDs at CES: banned
Posted on 12.01.2008 at 12:07 in Tech News

The editor of popular gadget website Gizmodo was banned from CES and Gawker Media, company behind that site, is most likely getting sued by CES organizers pretty soon. Reason? Gizmodos prank: shutting down tens and hundreds of TV, LCDs and plasma screens by a remote controller known as TV-B-Gone. They published a somehow funny video at their blog, but interrupting many presentations, press events and other important booth shows of many recognized brands wasnt that great - may be if you were 17-year old nerdy teenager, but CES is visited mostly by real businessmen and such behaviour seems unacceptable to me

Ouch, lol. Honestly, he deserves that. I mean, if I was going to do it, I would at least post it as an anonymous user submission.

I don't know where to begin on how wrong that is. Its sad that they would get the opportunity to be at such a kick ass cool event and then behave like children with no home training.

I so wish I could take their place and really enjoy the even and not be dicks like they were.
