VEGAS!!!!! For work!!!!!

When do you get paid to go to Vegas? When they are paying you to work!

What work? Basically, walk around for 2~3 days of sight seeing and may be do a half-ass report, like this one.

So what is it? Consumer Electronics Show, more commonly referred to as CES, the biggest electronics and technology show in North America. It's quite a luck to get to attend this show because the tickets aren't cheap.





Well, this won't really be like the half-assed report that I am preparing for my boss, because it will be 1/5 assed! No I am not going to write how touchy the tablets made me feel, or how stupid Smart TVs made me look, or how flat my life looks in those 3D glasses. In fact, I am going to show what don't get showed, the bonus my boss has to pay extra to get out of me!



So what that crazy lady doing there? Oh, lets start with the more serious stuff. Here's an interesting packaging/branding solution. It's not over done, no excess packaging material and branded efficiently. I like!





Audi had a booth there showing their dash UI stuffs. Screw all that, I want this set up in my living room! That wood trim on the seat looks delicious!




This is Audi showing their HUD dash displays. It basically is a navigation screen, mapping the graphics onto the real road. It's interesting, but for my who drives with polarized glasses, this will be useless. Can you imaging paying a hundred thousand dollars on something that doesn't work for you?????


Hey seriously, why the f*ck would any one want to see the "3D" version when the real thing is 3ft away? Bunch of retards!




The Koreans are taking over the world by brainwashing people with huge screens with cute and harmless looking Korean young girls dancing like the world is all so perfect and heavenly, then force them to eat only the most spicy kimchi in the world.


Another example of "OMG it's made of empty bottles OMG it's so GREEN OMG it's good for you!!!"


Here's an interesting piece at the Dolby booth.


You know, I thought this is bad enough......






Then I saw this...... Hopeless!










Here's a funny one. This was in the LG booth. This is a prototype large multi-point stylus screen that you can draw on, so everyone picked up a stylus pen and happily drew away. Around the screen are some strange Korean men in black, looking suspiciously. So I picked a pen and started drawing. Within a few seconds, the whole screen turned blue... THE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!!! Then before you know it, those Korean MIBs snatched the pens out of people's hands, yes literally snatched without saying a word! They then hushed people off while they hit the reset button. Ouch!




Here's a gaming bean-bag style chair with tons of pockets of CDs and powertools?????




Here's Paris Hil... sorry, it's Swarovski's attempt at being relevant to the industry. Seriously Swarovski, you will never get it!




Here's one that I really want to tell them to GTFO!!!


Here's a pretty cool/awesome/over-kill/brutel one.
"Don't Taze ME Bro!!!" This is the extreme version. It's the multi-missile launcher version of the Tazer, which will fire at your poor soul when you trespass some redneck's "property".



Meet PLEO!!!


Why is this important? Because I know the designer who designed this cute little rubber duck.... no I mean dino.

Pleo was a big hit when it first came out, sold out everywhere before Christmas, then disappeared. The company went under for whatever reason it was. This time, it makes a return under new ownership and comes with new features, like learning new tricks, sounds, smell(?) and other neat stuffs, sold separately though(evil).






I swear I thought that's poop, but it isn't.


Sexy naked robot.


Then there's another robot. You know those round thingies that runs around the house annoying the hell out of your cats and dogs? Well, this own will annoy the hell out of your house lizards and spiders!!! This is a window cleaning robot, although I don't see the benefit of it since you will have to make sure it's set up properly and runs well, doesn't save any man power, and in fact, is actually an attention seeking b*tch!



So I went to the Black Berry booth to see the new tablet they have, only to find the booth packed with people standing around staring at the same direction with cameras snapping away. What's going on? Someone just did a face-plant on the steps?

No, it's Oliver Wilde, the girl from Tron!!! Well, she was being interviewed and talked nothing about the products, just "...what do you do in your free time..." and "... how was your flight down here...? WTF, I just want to see the damn tablets!




You know, she looks exactly the same as in TV.


Here's here's here's here's here's my favorite of the show!!! A very touchy device, almost made me horny! It's 3M's multi-touch screen. How touchy? 30 hot points. That means you can have three pairs of hands touching it at the same time!!! The Japs will LOVE it, can you imagine the kind of new-age Hentai games they can come out with this touchy screen??? Virtual boob-grabbing is no longer a dream, THREE PAIRS AT A TIME!!!!





Actually, this will make a bigger buck in China ONLY IF it upgrades to 40 touch points. Why, because every family will be glued to it during Chinese New Year.
