A couple of points: the Gizmorons were there with press passes, not "blogger" credentials. They requested to be treated like journalists, they were given that privilege, and they turned right around and demonstrated that they have no more sense of integrity than a c**kroach.But I think they're paying. Take a look at Gizmodo: I have seen scarcely a single ad on the site in the past week that wasn't for some other Gawker Media property. It looks to me like a lot of advertising has been pulled from the site. They richly deserve to lose every ad account they ever had. After all, what tech company wants to throw money at a gang of irresponsible buffoons who are extremely likely to show up at your booth and sabotage your presentations?Look at the readership ratings on alexa.com for Gizmodo, while you're at it. There's been a truly precipitous drop in readership in the past week. They deserve every bit of that, too. Who wants to read a "tech blog" where the reporting is about the pathetically childish stunts the site's reporters pull?

I meant the Digg "story", not the linked one. Semantics, I guess.

Get over it. If that's the reason Motorola stock is in the toilet maybe they'll tape those sensors off next time. That s**t is not coming out for years and I could read about the next great thing I can't afford on their website. CES is a big drool-inducing stroke-fest. If people "who matter" discredit a product because a pretty-boy salesman's monitor being shut down they can all kill themselves. I laughed my ass off and I buy all kinds of Motorola crap after it's been reviewed by actual everyday users; the REAL people "who matter".
