Confessions: The Meanest Thing Gizmodo Did at CES 2008

CES has no shortage of displays. And when MAKE offered us some TV-B-Gone clickers to bring to the show, we pretty much couldn't help ourselves. We shut off a TV. And then another. And then a wall of TVs. And we just couldn't stop. (And Panasonic, you're so lucky that 150-incher didn't have an active IR port.) It was too much fun, but watching this video, we realize it probably made some people's jobs harder, and I don't agree with that (Especially Motorola). We're sorry.

Check out this video. Now that's a fantastic idea!

Relcom5958d ago

That was AWESOME. I gots to get one of those things

actionjackson5958d ago

I thought you guys might like this video. Although not really "news", it's pretty funny. I can't believe they actually were nuts enough to pull this off.

Rims5958d ago

That's really childish of them

eddierivera5958d ago

I dont even know these guys,, maybe they did it for publicity. But they have no right pulling anyone's plug. I hope they get fired,,, I dont know about you guys, but thats like going to E3 and someone pulling the plug from the tv when you are playing a game that isnt coming out for another year,, stealing the little bit of time you have at the show. Grow up, your not in high school ne more, F@gs.

The staffer that did it have been banned for life. I think everyone at Gizmodo should have been banned tho.

Apocwhen5958d ago

yeah, hopefully they'll be banned for life. Time is precious at these events, the last thing companies showing off their latest products need at this event is gizmonkey children disrupting their displays.

It's good SLI is dead and buried - and my wallet agrees

Kevin writes: "Multi-GPU gaming was one of those things that seemed like a good idea for as long as it lasted. I mean honestly, the idea of a modular approach to graphics upgrades – be that SLI or CrossFire – was brilliant. I repeat, the idea was brilliant."

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.

I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.

However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.

It really did look amazing.

I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.

Why ? For the price of two SLI cards you only get one RqtX card now...

OpenGL1d 14h ago

Exactly what I was thinking. When SLI was around an Nvidia flagship card was $700, less than half the price of their current flagship.
