Confessions: The Meanest Thing Gizmodo Did at CES

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.

This is why we can't have nice things.

They wouldn't technically be disabled I realize, but i could still see them trying to use it to get in and out.

I can see this wreaking havoc at sports bars during "the big game" but that's kinda low. I would've loved messing with this as a kid.. but what happens when Criminals start using it to disable low end security systems (fed through mini tvs instead of monitors)?

I bet next year they cover up the ir sensors on their displays. Nice trick!

Or ban you from CES and discredit you as a journalist.
