I Tell You The Future. Read Magic Ball

If you want to make money the easy way subscribe to my RSS feed, and learn how to make money from your feedreader.
My predictions for this weekend include:
- Everyone and their mother talking about the upcoming pr update
- Everyone complaining about how gizmodo ruined CES by having fun and turning off some monitors.
For the record I am with gizmodo and think what they did was inline with what bloggers are about. Having fun and NOT being professional. If they wanted professionalism they should have intvited people from the Wall Street Journal or the NY Post.
Tech bloggers are about having fun and not showering, so back the hell off em.
I hate repetitiveness more than I hate ugly $5 hookers so I might just not have to check my feedreader for the next 2 days.
The same thing happens when a new version of wordpress is released, every blogger out there thinks that it’s their responsibility to inform us.

I wonder what your opinion would be if Gizmodo’s prank would have delayed/destroyed something you would have created. Being a blogger means being professional. That’s how they all these bloggers got to attend CES. There should be some respect for the community and the pranks level should have been lower.

If you’re going to play with the big dogs (the corporations at CES), you need to leave the infantile pranking behind, or you need to know where the line in the sand is. If you can’t do one of the other, you’re likely to get bit.
If you want to prove that you are a legitimate form of media, you need to act like a legitimate professional when you are at these events. You can still cock about, but you need to know when to do it. Turning off an entire demo wall of TVs is a somewhat entertaining; turning off a TV during a presentation and interrupting something that is very important to the company and may affect them for the next quarter (or longer) is not cool.
The fact that this came from arguably one of the larger and mroe known tech blogs out there is where the problem lies. If it was some independent guy who happened to get in by the skin of his teeth, then the CEA wouldn’t be so worried. With a huge site like Gizmodo doing it, it’s giving the CEA pause for thought on their whole stance towards blogs.
