Honestly, I think it's pretty childish and in poor taste. I'm sure they wouldn't like it if someone ran a DoS attack on their website or hacked it. This is the sort of thing I would expect from teenagers.

I remember reading something on their site complaining that bloggers had been segregated from the other journalists and the bloggers felt like they weren't being treated as well. Way to give the operators of the convention a reason for treating you badly!

That is just awful. Turning off TVs during someones presentation really sucks for them.

Yet I can't stop laughing. I also can't stop myself from ordering a TV-B-Gone kit, though I have no idea where I would use it.

It was pretty mean and childish, but it was still funny. :)

go to any bestbuy, circuit city, or other electronics store and i am sure you will be tempted to use it.

While you're at it, you can get one of those mobile devices that jams and cellular phone signals within 50 yards. Then you can go to the movies with a laser pen and flash it all over the screen. Oh, what completely harmless, victimless fun!!

That was pretty funny... but I can't blame the organizers for not giving bloggers the same media access as "valid" media... using the term "valid" loosely.
