i watched it yesterday, and then this morning i read that he got his ass banned (http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9849168-7.html). :lol:



We have been informed of inappropriate behavior on the show floor by a credentialed media attendee from the Web site Gizmodo, owned by Gawker Media. Specifically, the Gizmodo staffer interfered with the exhibitor booth operations of numerous companies, including disrupting at least one press event. The Gizmodo staffer violated the terms of CES media credentials and caused harm to CES exhibitors. This Gizmodo staffer has been identified and will be barred from attending any future CES events. Additional sanctions against Gizmodo and Gawker Media are under discussion.

I didn't understand what was going on the first time I watched the video because I didn't read the paragraph below.
Now that I have read it, hilarious.

In reaction to "Gizmodogate," the gadget blog's prank of shutting down flat-screen displays on the show floor and during demos at CES (see Bloggers behaving badly), the conference's organizer, the Consumer Electronics Association, sent me this statement:

You just know that guy got fired, and Gizmodo is probably barred from any further shows.

I think Gizmodo said that they didn't care? Though they are banned for life (gizmodo, not just the one person).
