Consumer Electronics Show 2006

Yes, it's the new year, and guess what, new gadgets! It's all happening at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 5 to January 8.



Last night, Bill Gates gives the keynote and talks about Windows Vista, the next upgrade to Windows, touting better security, as well as the new Internet Explorer 7 which will allow for blocking of sites. Hmm, Mozilla Firefox already has these features for a while now, and now Microsoft starts getting on the bandwagon. Will there be a revival war between Microsoft and Mozilla Firefox (now that Netscape is gone and has been reincarnated by AOL).

There's lots of keynotes from big wigs like Howard Stringer from Sony, Paul Ottelini from Intel, Terry Semel from Yahoo, and Larry Page from Google. CES is always a crowd wow pleaser showing all the newest gadgets, I would most certainly like to be there, but it's expensive to book a hotel and register. So the next thing, is to witness it online with video, web updates, and podcasting.
