tvbg2Just when you thought it was safe to go to a consumer electronics show, some clever individual has come up with a way to make that most infamous of TV remotes, the TV-B-Gone, even smaller. Now you have a few more choices on where to conceal your weapon of mass distraction as you are searched by a security guard.

While the original TV-B-Gone wasn’t exactly clunky, some people just can’t leave well enough alone. So we end up with a smaller model of the same technology, again capable of causing all kinds of mayhem and foolishness at your local electronics retailer.

Now for the bad news. This is a experimental product, not necessarily available at your local gadget retailer. Where it is available is online, with a brief set of instructions to help you build your own, including where to buy the parts and how to modify the original schematics.

  • Always hated this these, the people that try to justify it are the same that try to justify using cellphone jammers. They feel if something in a public place annoys them, they have the dight to jam/disable the technology for their personal comfort at the discomfort of others.

  • soon they will have a nano-bot paint which will be able to assemble itself as a TV on the wall, displaying news and other pictures.
