Cool D-Link mydlink Contest Booth

There were quite a few cool looking contest booths at CES. The challenge in the D-Link booth was to use a small fishing rod to cast a small plastic fish into the plastic pool.

Las Vegas RTC Transit Fail

So this was the last day of CES and I am flying out tomorrow. Lots of CES content to come in the days or weeks to come. Myself and a new friend noticed a total Las Vegas RTC Transit Fail.

Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies has developed a desktop system for extracting the hydrogen

Killer Video Walls at CES 2011 - LG - Samsung - Sony

At CES I think the motto is go big or go home. LG, Samsung and Sony really took that to heart when they designed their booth design. I was wondering why there was a shortage of big screen TVs about 6 months ago, now I know what happened, all available screens were stuck on the walls at CES. 🙂 I think LG won the battle. Have a look at the

Electronic Porn at CES 2011

There is so much stuff here at CES that doesn’t fit into what I am looking to cover but here is some of the electronic porn that I just had to have a second glance at. Check out the massive subs, amps and the DVD duplicators that are so tall it would knock you out it it fell on you. The 4th tower beside the duplicators is a USB thumb
