    Attention Gizmodo editors: Someone has traveled back in time and edited several comments in this thread. Its a shame they didnt go back in October. They could have bet it all on the Mets in 1969.

    Great stuff. This reminds me of Michael Moore's TV Nation skit where he did this to various CEOs. He visited a garbage truck CEO with a giant garbage truck at 6am and had it slam a dumpster in his driveway until the CEO came out in his bathrobe screaming and yelling.

    Another skit he visited the CEO of a car alarm company, and had 60 cars lined up around this guys house early in the AM. He then triggered every car alarm at once.

    A final skit showed Moore atop a truck carrying a massive speaker which was blaring "musac" at the house of a CEO for a music company that specialized in elevator music.

    I hope it was after 10am, because, you know, them capitalist-captains of industry have the secret police, um, cops in their pockets.
    Perhaps showing up at his birthday party (got his birthdate info, yes?), and at other various "personal information related" events might equate to stalking?

    What a way to kick "the man" right in the balls! "The man" loves to hide in the shadows and operate behind closed doors. Let's shine a very bright light on him and watch him scurry like a cockroach.

    BTW, he should have gone there when he was certain "the man" was at home. You can do that by calling him at his unlisted number.

    Why so much concern about your addresses being public? If all the Sarah Connors' addresses hadn't been in a phonebook, Sarah wouldn't have realized someone was after her, gone in to the nightclub for protection, Kyle wouldn't have had a sleazy 80s backdrop for his first encounter with the Terminator, O'Connor would likely have been killed before John O'Connor was born and Skynet would by now have destroyed all your houses and stolen your iPhones.

    @Homerjay. Good and good for you.: Just because someone is a multimillionare doesnt mean they live an extravagant life. I know plenty of CEO's and successfully people that live pretty modestly.
    I also know plenty of people that try to show of their wealth and live well outside their means.

    How hard is it to find Dan Hesse? Just search Google Street view for a house in black and white. As for Ivan, is he sure that was Monty Burns's house, and he released the hounds?

    But seriously, maybe if he turned the volume up to 11, it would have worked.

    In reply to Lightning Review: Panasonic Quadraphonic Turntable and GE 8-Track Receiver
    As noted in an earlier post, I still love my old Sony Quadraphonic system, but it only has the turntable, radio, and audio inputs...no 8 track. And (as said before), I mostly hook my iPod up to it now, so it loses its true purpose.



    We did have a sweet little "portable" 8 track player with speakers that popped out of the side. I was crushed a few years back to discover that my parents had stored all of their 8-tracks in the garage, where the Oklahoma summers had melted them into faded plastic cases filled with cooled brown ooze.



    The complete collections of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Jim Croce...gone! Gone!

    Love this review of the 8-Track GE Receiver. My dad still has his hooked up in his garage, with a working 8-Track player. On the downside he only has two working 8-Tracks; Santana's Abraxas (sp?) and the Hawwaii 5-0 soundtrack. I remember playing with all of the switches and dials when I was little, pretending that it was a radar station, thanx for the throwback guys!
