Am I the only one who finds it a bit hypocritical that the Goo Goo Ga Ga Gizmodo pre-school pranksters had such fun with a device that they ripped to shreds in a review?

First, while I get the prank, the video itself is not very funny. Seriously. I’ve seen funnier video’s at high school graduation assemblies, and I’m a principal. Clearly MIT and CAL/Berkeley have nothing to worry about as far as being outdone in the prank space.

Second, it’s irrelevant if CES is bloated, over the top, companies invest thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours preparing for this event. This just shows a total lack of respect for the very industry they cover.

Zoli, same POV as Matthew…a bit juvenile…but as I said on my post – there were so many over the top things at CES, this should not even register ,,,besides since when did us bloggers turn traditional? -)

Well, watching it was indeed funny. But I am sitting at home.. not standing in front of the crowd, trying to make a presentation. That was – especially the Motorola part – beyond my threshold.

Oh, and it would make such a nice short! Only as a prank, of course:-)

Zoli, I admitted that it was sophomoric, and that interrupting the Motorola guy was definitely offside; but at the same time, I thought popping some of the CES hype machine bubble was a valuable — and yes, funny — thing. I just think we need to keep the whole thing in perspective, that’s all.
