Gizmodo prank at CES = Ban

In case you didn’t know, Gizmodo did a little big prank at CES 2008. Basically, they decided to turn off flat-screen displays that were on the show, by using a IR remote control. On top of causing trouble to the people on the booths that were presenting products, they also messed around with a press event, which can be considered more serious.

What they didn’t know, is that the conference’s organization, also known as Consumer Electronics Association, have decided to ban the person responsible for the problems. It can get even worse, because additional sanctions against Gizmodo and Gawker Media are under discussion.

NetworkSolutions – not a good registrar?

On the intenet world of domain names, some users are getting pissed off at Network Solutions because of “front-running” situations. Meaning that the company in question (NS) registers domains, right after people searching and checking if they are available. Obviously, this isn’t good for Network Solutions, that has a fee of $35, while many other registrars are on the $10 mark.
