Confessions: The Meanest Thing Gizmodo Did at CES

does it work on overhead projectors? we use them in school for lessons all the time...hmmm..

no.

oh well, still be able to stir enough trouble with tv's alone ;)

What an absolute crack up! I think I'd like to build one of those kits and go into my local electrical stores and give them the shits! Only occasionally of course.

I do think using it might get you caught however if you were in view of a security camera. We mightn't be able to see the IR beam but cameras can, so you could get found out. Therefore, using it sparingly might be wise.

But it's still very funny!

I just built one today. It can turn off any TV from 150 feet lol.

yo thats fucking great i deff need me one of them shits

teaches them to use electrical tape and cover up the sensors

that is ownage. 28 screens in like 4 seconds.

So the moral of the story is... if you are running a demo booth with TV sets, cover up the IR receiver!

very embarrassing... i would really enjoy doing that to a company/booth i felt ripped me off or had bad products.
