IEEE Spectrum http://spectrum.ieee.org stopped by Ignite NYC, where Bre Pettis and the NYC Resistor hacker collective hosted a contest to see who had the fastest soldering iron in the city. The contestants all raced to build a TV-B-Gone kit http://www.makershed.com/Produ... and the first to turn off the TV won.

I used to enjoy making all my solder into different sized solder balls and spiky shapes and stuff. My dad was in the army, so I suppose he was a solder too.

Right, because that's the only reason to do anything. Chicks. No other motive exists in the world than reproduction. Dumbshit.

Yeah it worked. The rules were, the first to build the kit, and have it actually turn off the TV would be the winner. In the vid you can see the TV go off.
