Gizmodo goes nuts with TV B Gone at CES

Gizmodo ran around CES with a TV B Gone, wreaking havoc upon dozens (if not hundreds) of displays at the show. I found the video they posted to be hilarious, although I’m sure that many of the folks at CES were not amused. (Dear Gizmodo — please allow embedding of your videos)

Frankly, I’m surprised that something like this didn’t happen earlier. Those devices have been around for a long time.

   Was talking about this with a friend. We both agreed that dicking with the displays was dickishly funny. But fucking with the dude giving the presentation was just plain fucked up.

   It was about as funny as fucking with the power switch on Gizmodo’s web servers.

   I agree. I felt bad for the guy up there giving the presentation.

   NAB 2005, someone was running around doing the same thing.
