I’ve given enough tech presentations to know how stressful it can be when gadgets fail, so I was not sympathetic to their prank/attack.

Gizmodo’s hack appears fairly low key. Now imagine some hefty servo-mechanical subversion, Vegass style baby, that has Bill Gates ceremoniously dumped into like one of Chriss Angel’s pirahna tanks. Yass. Gizmodo did however address an important aspect of the contemporary techno-structure–the CES slut quotient:

D-Link, a boring company, consistently had loads of pasty, sweaty show goers swarming around its booth, ogling their whorishly dressed booth attendants and grabbing at free handouts that aren’t worth the jostling it takes to get them.

More booth babes and designer tasers! ;)

Thats more than just vandalism and when its an act that takes place at a trade show its more than just campus hijinks.
