TV-B-Gone II

Kill your television folks! Adbust your counterculture!

Bloggers at one of the major annual electronics conferences used a tv-b-gone to power off electronics used by presenters. What ~hilarious pranksters~ jerks.

Great comments over at Webware.

There is an interesting infosec black/white hat divide on response to the issue. There is also a lot of hacker-ish blaming the victim going around. Lame.

Video of the idiocy.
