Even Intel Hit by Meanest Thing Gizmodo Did at CES

Gizmodo bloggers equipped with some TV-B-Gone clickers caused a ruckus at CES as they roamed the floor and randomly turned off TV monitors while companies were trying to demonstrate their new technologies to booth audiences.  Bloggers behaving badly may have caused some ramifications we’ll all want to watch as the social media tidal wave rises.  Seems tradition and new media was coming together more an more — example was how NBC went all out at CES — but there are still holders-on or people who believe the social media phenomon will reveal more the ugly side of democracy than the more controlled era of traditional media.  Let’s see what happens.  Here’s a good post by CNET.

  • CES 2010 - Light Peak January 8, 2010
    I was overwhelmed by the interest received on my initial post on Light Peak a few months ago. Plenty of questions and ideas were raised on the potential of a single IO port for multiple protocols and support for power; all over an optical connector.

    As the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off 2010, I have my eyes on shiny new gadgets that will be hitting the market, especially new Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs). In 2009, we saw many new devices from Viliv, UMID and others. Often when I shared these devices with friends or family, some would say the devices were too small. Others said they weren’t s […]
