I’m all for companies protecting their intellectual property and I respect embargoes and NDAs. But when companies hide their precious, yelling at you about taking pictures of things in plain sight it pisses me off. Well, Matt and Devin stopped by the LG booth today and, surprise, the super secret watch was ready for them to photograph. All they created on Monday was bad will and then turned around and let anyone and their dog photograph their gear today. Companies: just relax. You’re at a trade show. Unless you’re the Wu people and infringing massively on copyright, you have nothing to hide. You’re at the biggest show in your industry, CES, and it’s foolish to think you can still control photons.
