What do you get when you have a bunch of geeks together? Usually a few pranks! That was the biggest news topic that I have heard regarding the CES 2008 show. Gizmodo, a gadget-based blog brought with them this year a TV-B-Gone and tested it out on every television they could find. Everything from displays to product releases had problems with their televisions shutting off.
I think the idea behind TV-B-Gone is extremely funny, but this was not the right time to use it. Companies rely on events like CES to get the early adopters to accept their projects and help them become successful. If you cannot properly show your product, you might lose business...lots of it! I would not be surprised if a law suit does not come out of this...
