Don't laugh at my profession on Saturdays.

[MJGAMER 1991 XBL Posted Jan 9th 2010 7:28PM]

@seojuhwan I didn't even realize he was talking in English.

[Phreakazoid Posted Jan 10th 2010 2:02PM]

[npa189 Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:04PM]

[One Love Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:04PM]

That's just wong. :)

[kantbstopped519 Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:04PM]

FIngeRiST!

[BuryTheCastle Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:24PM]

@kantbstopped519

Reminds me of the Grapeist.

I;m gonna grape ya in the mouth.

[wsansewjs Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:07PM]

I would buy it if it was in the shape of a vagoo. It would make me more skilled... -winks-

[pika2000 Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:07PM]

Hey, this is actually kinda cool. A cool distraction for parties/gatherings.

[ChazClout Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:07PM]

Looks like someones school woodwork project with a little electronics thrown in.

[New Reformation Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:10PM]

@ChazClout
don't insult the average man's woodworking ability like that....

[ChazClout Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:13PM]

@New Reformation

Pah, It's better than anything I could ever produce. All I wanted to do at school was eat and look where that got me.

Sitting in front of a PC, replying to random people on a tech blog on a Saturday night.... (sobs)

Actually none of that is true, it was marrying her that ruined everything. :P

[TendoMan Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:24PM]

[ChazClout Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:31PM]

@TendoMan ROFL!

[mmauve Posted Jan 10th 2010 9:24PM]

@TendoMan

I almost crapped my pants.

[phil1024 Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:08PM]

Better yet, put your iPhone in that thing, and you will never misplace it again....

[NohOne1 Posted Jan 9th 2010 7:47PM]

@(Unverified)

Even better yet, put your iPhone in that thing, and no one will never steal it again....

[jon Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:09PM]

Crapgadget, there's an app for that.

[PBR Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:09PM]

Geeze....they'll let ANYBODY into CES these days!

What'd he say? "Guitar laptop for iPhone????" Then what?!?!?!

[tbhuang2 Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:16PM]

@PBR
Then "And iPod touch."

[Shiori Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:30PM]

@PBR "...and iPod Touch" iThink.

[crazy4pie Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:13PM]

wtf

[dansus Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:24PM]

Now try using your nail on that capacitive screen....

[TikiTeko Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:13PM]

@dansus Awesome observation !

[Thinker Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:28PM]

Engadget, this is mean. No, not your picture of that contraption - I don't quite know what it is. It looks sort of like a guitar with speakers, or something like that; whatever! By mean I mean showing that guy's work of "strenuous techno art", and not showing his face, thus causing him to miss out on his moment of fame :)

[tralala Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:28PM]

Someone hand me the Purell please..

[ClothoBuer6293 Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:30PM]

It makes me kindof sad seeing people so serious about this instead of messing around with it for kicks. Haha.

[Thinker Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:31PM]

How did this guy make it into the country?

[Thinker Posted Jan 9th 2010 6:33PM]

Ok, all jokes aside, I think it is rather courageous of him to demonstrate it at CES :)

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:36PM]

We need a blackberry version of that.

[Loonie Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:54PM]

I thought the title was a reference to how ridiculously mauled this device appeared to have been in the picture.

[CultOfOne Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:57PM]

That guys is keeping the music ALIVE...... YEAH ROCK ON !!!!

I can bet he don't have a girlfirend

[goseki Posted Jan 9th 2010 5:58PM]

comes with roll of Duct Tape ..

[greg787 Posted Jan 9th 2010 6:19PM]

"That's not true, Mr. Garrison. Kyle was working on his fingering with his mom all night long."-Cartman
That was the first thing that came to mind for some reason...

[ohsojellis Posted Jan 9th 2010 6:43PM]

Need some Cyber Clean on this crapgadget.

[TikiTeko Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:16PM]

@ohsojellis Bah, Cyber Clean has potential... it was just buffooned by Engadget

[joelaf Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:16PM]

The presenter fails for not knowing that every guitar app presentation MUST be Smoke on the Water.

[Please forgive me Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:21PM]

We are all talking about that Piece of Junk attached to the Guitar, right. ;) hehe

[Please forgive me Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:22PM]

@Please forgive me

Danit, should be a ? at the end. grumble : grumble : grumble

[Please forgive me Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:27PM]

@Please forgive me

:( I give up. damn it.

[Dshark Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:29PM]

I need one.

[Dusty Posted Jan 9th 2010 8:36PM]

Haha, ill pass.

[RuckingFetard Posted Jan 9th 2010 9:14PM]

Who the hell would carry that thing around? It looks heavy and is obviously massive. This is worse than something that could be bought on eBay.

[yrag Posted Jan 9th 2010 10:43PM]

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

Honestly, when I scrolled down and saw that ridiculous monstrosity, I literally broke out laughing and laughing and laughing,

Thank you 'Fingerist' for the best laugh I've had for a while.

I do feel sorry for the poor guy though. He had to drop a bundle to show that 'thing' at CES.

Sir, I wish you well—better luck (and at least a pinch of market research) next time.
