So I’m back home in California after briefly visiting CES 2012 to cover the Steve Ballmer keynote speech. Here was my take from my brief time at the conference. I thought that the conference venue was warm and cramped and over crowded. The Venetian is a nice hotel in Vegas but compared to the BUILD conference, this...
Not too long ago, I spoke about how awesome it would be to see an Xbox-branded gamer tabletthat featured all the power of Windows 8 and pushed Xbox-Live integration, alongside high-profile gaming capabilities. I made it clear that while I would absolutely love to see such a device, I wouldn’t expect to see it anytime...
So here’s something that’s real interesting. Apple is not showing any products at CES 2012 but I know for a FACT that they have employees at the show.

The touchpad also has the ability to detect when you rest your...
Intel is trying to promote the buying of Ultrabooks this year at CES 2012. It’s chips power these devices so that kinda makes sense. In its presentation today, Intel vice president and general manager of the Intel PC Client group Mooly Eden discussed the following about Ultrabooks: voice...
Well after a (surprisingly) smooth drive from California, I’m in Vegas baby! I’m staying at the Monte Carlo hotel on the Vegas strip and I have to say, it’s not too bad. I’m surprised because Vegas doesn’t really look that busy but maybe it’s just me. Anyway, tomorrow will be a busy day. I’m obviously looking forward...
