I think it is amazing at how many people are being dinks about the post. Really kids. This post is about the Gizmodo event. What the video shows is a Gizmodo reader at the event having fun.
Yeah, what an asshole for having a good time, huh?

well, first off: the remote hand is always different from the popcorn hand. i do not like dirty remotes. secondry, i don't like putting cold beverages next to hot popcorn. that just makes no friggin' sense. lastly, i woulnd't aim for that damn little basket -- i would aim for the dog.
@Nick: mission accomplished: probably something to do with what i'd imagine is a very inefficient heat transfer from fluffy popcorn -> plastic -> air -> aluminum can -> cold soda, so that would be one of the less stupid things about this, though there's certainly no shortage of stupid to be had with this thing.
The section of the code cited by GPS companies is California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) (1) which reads: "No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows." GPS companies assumed this to mean that their units could not be mounted to a windshield with a suction cup. Note that the words "object" and "material" are the key targets in this section, but they are not used in the following section where the word "equipment" is applicable to GPS units.
The California Highway Patrol explained that the above section did not apply to GPS units. The correct section is California Vehicle Code Section 27602 (a) (b) which reads: (a) A person may not drive a motor vehicle if a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other, similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or video signal that produces entertainment or business applications, is operating and is located in the motor vehicle at any point forward of the back of the driver's seat, or is operating and visible to the driver while driving the vehicle.
(b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to the following equipment when installed in a vehicle: (1) A vehicle information display; (2) A global positioning display; (3) A mapping display.

Guess I gotta toss my EZPass and rearview mirror...
I think it's great that he shows off his illegally installed DVR. Last time I checked, many States (including California) make it illegal to have a TV screen that is visible to the driver while the car is in motion.
There's a reason for the e-brake - the safety of the general public. Well, here's to being sued.
