Yeah I agree, I could see how they thought this would be funny, but I didn't laugh, and I think it was too much...

It could be funny, but it really wasn't. That kind of thing is why I only read Gizmodo when I have a lot of free time. I mostly stick to Engadget now.

Yeah, kind of sad, actually.

Karma's a b*tch. Methinks they may get theirs a little bit back some day.....

Agreed, this prank is quite childish... I pulled this trick on my teacher back in the day in Gr7 and thought it was funny then but didn't find this funny at all..

I actually feel bad for the people that had their presentations suffer because of this childish stuff.

Making half of a wall of TVs go out was kind of funny, but ruining a presentation is a bit too much. Then they go and brag about it on their own site...GENIUS!
