I hate it when companies have offsite events at conventions, it means leaving the convention center where all the real action is and takes up valuable floor walking time, but I like the folks at Sony so I made a special trip down to the brand new Las Vegas City Center where the PlayStation team […]

Beyonce is the New Face of Vizio
Is there anything Beyonce can’t do? Now she’s going to be selling Vizio TVs. The 3 year agreement grants name and likeness rights to VIZIO for North American advertising, product packaging, web, promotions, public relations and point of sale materials. The partnership will also allow Knowles to participate in the design and performance characteristics of […]
CES 2010: The Future of Television is 3D, Internet, and Video Calls
This year’s CES is all about one thing – 3D television. Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Panasonic, and Sony all showcased 3D televisions in one form or another. The secondary big thing for televisions is once again convergence of Internet and phone capabilities. Here’s the problem with 3D – the glasses, yeah they are ok for […]
CES 2010: iPhone’s Epic CES FAIL!
I’ve had an iPhone since last April, in my time with the phone I never experienced any problems with the phone or AT&T’s service. After 2 years on Cingular (which was horrible and yes I know it’s now AT&T), then two years of Verizon’s awful service I find AT&T to be pretty rock solid in […]
CES 2010: Shuttle Computer Announces new All In Ones
This time last year it was darn hard to find one All In One PC, now there are several on display at CES. The folks at Shuttle Computer announced a new lineup of All in Ones.
CES 2010: Sony gives us Taylor Swift, Hendrix, 3D All the Time and the Dash!
Ah, Press Conference day at CES comes to a close with Sony’s annual 4pm Pressor at their booth. They had really bad food this year, ah well. Things kicked off with a performance by Taylor Swift (who is over exposed now, I just don’t get her appeal) and an announcement that she’s going Sony’s new […]
CES 2010: Netgear Gives a Fun Press Conference and Announce some Stuff Too!
One of my favorite CES Press Conference speakers is Netgear’s Vice President and General Manager of Home and Consumer Products, Vivek Pathela. Vivek always gives a fun and energetic presentation of Netgear’s latest and greatest. This year was no different and announced several new gadgets including a new media server called the Netgear Stora. Highlights […]
CES 2010: LG CES 2010 Press Conference Highlights
In their traditional role as being the first official Press Conference, LG Electronics kicked off CES 2010 with a slew of new televisions, cell phones, and other gadgets. One of the highlights being an HDTV that is scary thin at 6mm and includes Internet TV, Wi-Fi Connectivity, Netflix, and now Skype Calling capabilities. Is there […]
CES 2010: Day 1, Michelle’s Vegas Adventures Continue at CES Unveiled
It’s my first full day in Vegas, most of the day has been open, so I checked out the new Vegas City Center complex. Very disappointing, it’s all glass and steel building complex with a very high-end shopping complex. After that I spent some time at MGM’s Television City and went on this really cool […]
CES 2010: Technocel’s Shows off New Portable Universal Charger
Technocel is showing off a new combination Portable Universal Charger and Battery pack. The idea behind this is you can plug the device into the wall to power all your USB based gadgets and then when you are the go if you still need extra it’ll double as an external battery. The $59.99 price point […]
CES 2010: T-Mobile Launches HSPA+, Faster than 3G?
So far my AT&T service is really sucking in The Vegas, it’s dropped every call I’ve made. Luckily, T-Mobile finally sent me a MyTouch to play with and that’s been ok so far, even though the 3G has been spotty – but no dropped calls. It’s weird but T-Mobile isn’t doing much at CES this […]
