That's pretty mean. Very funny, but that they owned up to it is pretty bad, I'm sure Motorola won't be talking to them anytime soon.

#1 feature at next year's CES? Tape over the IR ports.

Hillarious, yet I will be curious to see if there are any consequences at next year's CES for Gizmodo.

I imagine most vendors will now start covering up the IR ports on their displays :P

I'm really tempted to get one of those TV-Be-Gone's. But really, I just want a cell dampener.

Childish, they are making people's jobs harder and maybe even causing people who's livelihoods depend on their trade show performance or sales to suffer.

Just cover those IR ports with electrical tape.

That was great. I could spend hours in Future Shop, Visions, or Best Buy with one of these.

or you could just hit the button on all of them. I dont think anyone would care enough to stop you.

You don't have to! The thing probably works on the TV you already have at home, so you can play with it from the comfort of your own couch!

Just an update to the story. I wouldn't be surprised to see even more action against him.
