"Two of our prototypes were stolen from our booth at CES today," Tan wrote in a Facebook post. "We have filed the necessary reports and are currently working with the show management as well as law enforcement to address this issue."

The exec has not dismissed this being a case of industrial espionage. "We treat theft/larceny, and if relevant to this case, industrial espionage, very seriously -- it is cheating, and cheating doesn't sit well with us," he wrote.

Tan didn't specify exactly what combination of devices were stolen. Razer was contacted but did not immediately respond.

I was looking forward to this hitting the shelves in the near future, guess that is not going to happen now any time soon.

it wasn't going to happen quickly anyway I guess since both products are more the "proof of concept" type of thing then actual working devices, the difference between those is that proof of concept shows that it is possible but is allowed to have flaws, while a working prototype is close to the final product.

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

There is much worse out there then stealing electronics, like CEOs exploiting their staff.

Surely stealing from CES is about as intelligent as taking a dump on your mother in laws brand new designer white sofa?

I feel like the latter of those two things would likely be more satisfying than stealing from CES, because you'd go to jail for the former.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

What do you mean? I'm sure they have many many models and have every dimension saved somewhere. They're a big company, not a hs student's science fair project

Aren't the hinges and stuff on project Valarie just decorative? 'Cause I'm pretty sure they'd have to walk off with both peripheral displays still unfolded.
