What happend to innovation?
A review of the conference overall

I am really unsure how many people had the opportunity to attend CES and the (concurrently running) MacWorld as I did, but it really seems like the pile on fest of everybody who didn't make it into the "cool" club. Yes there were a lot of booths, plenty of loud music and pitches but where were the interesting consumer electronics products? It can't all be about the extra inch that LCD or Plasma now has - or can it?

Not one innovation caught my attention, but maybe I didn't look deep enough...

Boring
A review of the conference overall

This year didn't seem to have a standout product/category, most of what I saw was more of the same, although Asimo was cool.

It's just a show
A review of the conference overall

The content is good, but there's too much to focus on; luckily I'm severely ADD--time for another Celexa.

Networking is hard because when you meet someone you almost immediately loose them in the crowd and never see them again. I suggest trading numbers right away if you intend to keep track of anyone. Speaking of--did anyone else have problems with their mobile phones today? I got "All circuits are busy" for a while this afternoon. WTF?

The Venue(s) are typical Vegas and If I see another chain-smoking elder before I die it'll be too soon.

Schwag: keep your squishy balls please.

First Time at CES - What a Mess (in a good way)
A review of the conference overall

CES just owns this town this week--it's huge, and the traffic here is just an apocalypse. But, this is a tech-lover's dream. It's everywhere, it's timely and best of all most of it is actually available!

My feet are dog tired from walking the floors, even with the Nikes I brought for the purpose. Off and outta here tomorrow see ya!

So much content
A review of the session "International SuperSession"

The session was restricted only by time and an inability to cover everything in a limted session

CES... way better than Macworld
A review of the conference overall

I am very happy with the content... even though there were some apparent fireworks at MacWorld. You can't get more bang for your buck than at CES. Let's see what the next few days have in store.

So Far so Good at CES
A review of the conference overall

The networking is great. Was it just me or did the Gates speach seemed 3 years old?
