  1. Wow, Gizmodo is kinda... mean? I dont know if that word is strong enough.. My only question, why do we see so many people in the video looking at the back of the tv's? Why wouldn't they just hit the power button?
  2. The techspot blog does not seem to actually have that post on it, I get an error. Any idea why?
  3. Looks like I added the news as private in Wordpress, that's why the link appeared as a 404, should be working fine now. Thanks poert for the notice.
