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? Gizmodo’s prank: shutting down tens and hundreds of TV, LCDs and plasma screens by a remote controller known as TV-B-Gone.







so awesome. so very awesome.

I'd love to have a TV B GONE i could keep on my keys so I could turn off TVs in public places like restaurants/elevators/etc. TVs in public are annoying.

It's amazing how long it took that device to be used like this. I was honestly waiting for it to cause a ruckus weeks after it was first advertised. I can't believe it took this long!
