- n0xz, on 08/06/2008, -0/+8Glad they changed the battery. Last year's badge didn't even last 30 hours !
- Seemefearme, on 08/06/2008, -1/+7They need to send Triumph to this convention, too.
- nonsequitor, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4Damn, I wish I weren't skipping this year's conference. I decided to go to 25c3 instead this year. If only I had enough money and vacation time to hit both.
I think I read that the winner of the badge hacking contest will not be receiving a black badge this year.
I had fun hacking last year's badge, but the Riviera sold out too fast this year, and I hate walking in Vegas during August. - Seemefearme, on 08/06/2008, -0/+4I have to say this is pretty innovative. Hackers do it right, that's for sure.
- pinguino, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3badges are gonna be fun =) took me a bit to figure out what it said on the side. i kept trying to look at it sideways
- IsraelTorres, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3sweet - can't wait - it'd be great to have the usb connection - but yeah - hacketh it!
- ax0n, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3Can't wait to see it in person. Looks like I drag my soldering iron and some spare USB parts along this year.
- BlueTunicLink, on 08/05/2008, -0/+3Anyone know what the 2d barcode says?

/Sarcasm - azala, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1yep, kudos to the defcon organizing committee!
- nonsequitor, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1Well last year's badge did not "turn off" so much as the chip was sent into a low power mode. If you pulled your batteries at night, it would have lasted through the Con.
- eecue, on 08/05/2008, -0/+1yeah i'm excited. =] the hacking possibilities are nearly endless for this badge.
- JudgeMonkey, on 08/06/2008, -0/+1What witchcraft is this!??!?!? Somehow, these two individuals, when attempting to talk about someone else's comment, have made it sort of.. nest underneith, as if some carefully crafted reply feature!
Burn the Witches!!!! - laughandsing, on 08/06/2008, -1/+1Can't wait to see it when my boyfriend comes back from the convention.
- rocknrollgeek, on 08/05/2008, -2/+2BlueTunicLink: Yes, I do :) it's a URL. :) grab the image, photoshop it to clean it up, and scan it in with a 2d scanner, and you'll get the result. :)
- Jellyfihs, on 08/06/2008, -1/+1'Peek'. Sneak 'peek'.
- dotuplink, on 08/11/2008, -1/+1What are road apples?
- djepik, on 08/06/2008, -3/+2Yes.
- Swellin, on 08/06/2008, -3/+1how bout ***** telling us
- djepik, on 08/06/2008, -6/+4This article divulged nothing other than "hey we have this thing, it's like a PCI card, but you hang it around your neck. I worked on it a lot. You can plug it into your computer and stuff too. Oh yeah you can plug in SD cards too, and transmitt information by IR"
Can somebody explain if this is any different than actually hanging a PCI card around your neck? Because if I have to do that to be cool, I'm all in. - Dustmuffins, on 08/06/2008, -6/+137 diggs to frontpage?
Somehow I knew MBM was involved, he has first comment... weird.
