No doubt they have an insurance policy on it and want to start over. They must have run the numbers and determined its worth more flat than fixed.

As a tech that's handled somewhere around 400 water damaged laptops, igadgets, and even desktops, I'll say I have a good deal of experience with the problem. Water+metal+electricity=corrosion, thats the magic formula. REMOVE ALL POWER as fast as you possibly can. This includes bios batteries. let it dry, there are…

Looks like high winds, a light stage built like a wind-catch, and no (visible) guy wires. They were apparently relying exclusively on rigid trusses. Someone will be losing a lawsuit, badly.

the shock tubes are shiny silver by design. You can't paint or overlay them. Maybe if they were aluminum you could anodize but they are probably steel or chrome.

I get mine from digikey, better variety, lower price, brighter output. Surprised they're not using resistors to drop current - those LEDs will…

I'm sure they need to make sure the item is repeated a few times so when you go to take a pic of it with your cell phone you can center on the group and not risk scanning an adjacent product. They probably show more copies of more common products also. Look at the bottom, milk gets 4, top juice get 2. I also find…

would be a lot better looking if the lighting was stable. the stroboscopic effect in half the scenes is very distracting to the animation.
