CES 2013: Cases, Chargers, Docks, and Houseplant Monitors? http://tidbits.com/article/13486
- rik panganiban:
Dammit “Alien” 33 years later is still freakin scary. #fb
@rikomatic The Xenomorph and the little girls from The Shining still freak me out.
- Michael Gartenberg:
There are four terms required to be properly buzzword compliant at CES this year. Please name them.
- Chris Foresman:
@Gartenberg Bluetooth, app, activity tracking, augmented reality
@foresmac @gartenberg So far it’s mobile, solution, social. Usually all in a row.
Resolved: I need a posse of tech geeks who enjoy dancing.
Wake up time has just shifted to 5 AM, and odds of all-nighter have increased to 98.5%.
- Brett Kelly:
Took an unplanned 3-hour nap and am now wide awake having a beer.
@inkedmn About to head to Palazzo, buzz me if you’re there.
CrashPlan is paused and network-forbidden, and I’ve uploaded nearly a gig at 200K/sec. What the hell is doing that?
My editor @jeffcarlson just suggested the #OccupyCES hashtag. I already have the “We are the 99%” sticker on my laptop bag. Greatly amused.
Dear @crashplan: traveling for the next six weeks. Is there a “go away until I say so” so I don’t kill my monthly 4G data plan? Mac 10.8.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten You can force unload the engine without uninstall the app. you might also be able to turn off Java! That would prevent it
@GlennF I’m *very* busy thanks to all of the parties @TidBITS is sending me to. If you can email me the force unload command, thanks!
- Jeff Carlson:
@jeffporten @GlennF @TidBITS @adamengst We’re scrappy. No need for a trailer office. You just need to take over the Verge one. #occupyces
@jeffcarlson @glennf @tidbits @adamengst That’s where I announce an Android tablet, wait for them to come out, then lock the door behind?
- Jeff Carlson:
@jeffporten @glennf @tidbits @adamengst Exactly like taking the shield bunker in RotJ. With Solo shoulder shrug.
@jeffcarlson @glennf @tidbits @adamengst I’m about to head to Lavo. I’ll see if I can get an Ewok to use as my wingman.
I love my editors.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten You got it! Check email
I have enough work to do to easily justify an all-nighter, and a Monday schedule from 8 AM – 1 AM. Decisions, decisions.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten from running at all.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jeffporten You can also choose which Wi-Fi networks over which it would work, and disable the 4G tethering one.
@GlennF I tried killing the engine, but continued to see lots of data moving (might not have been Crashplan). Where’s the wifi setting?
@GlennF And can I disable when tethered over USB?
@GlennF Found the wifi settings, thanks!
About to head to #NMX party at Lavo, and wasn’t able to pick up my media badge today. If anyone sees this, please make sure I’m not bounced.
“@PhilipMichaels: Home away from home. pic.twitter.com/oVkYKfKl” ATTN: @adamengst. I want a trailer. And cookies.
- Adam C. Engst:
@jeffporten @philipmichaels You want a windowless cube inside something that can be hauled away at a moment’s notice? I’d stick with cookies
Thinking of going to the Blogworld party, but I have to blog first. Not sure if this fits me right in or if I’m the saddest man in Vegas.
- Peter Bright:
I wonder what the TV companies will do when they realize the double upgrade cycle (digital, HD) was a one-off, and that 3D/4K are DOA.
@geoffduncan @drpizza @kvanh actually, something like that is on my pr list for this year.
- Geoff Duncan:
@jeffporten @drpizza @kvanh Uh, errr…then, CES 2014: 3D glasses with built-in EEG sensors for thought-driven channel-changing!
@geoffduncan @drpizza @kvanh there’s a heart monitor that affects music tempo. I’ll see what they have for traffic.
- Shawn King:
Refresh my memory – didn’t Apple at some point in the distant past attend/exhibit at CES? Like in the 1990’s?
@ShawnKing don’t think so. I was here for some of those.
@ShawnKing never saw a show floor booth.
- Lex Friedman:
Do I love that my son now sleeps with my childhood blanket? I do. Do I love that he’s overjoyed at its train? Also yes. pic.twitter.com/gXhDguJj
- Kevin van Haaren:
@lexfri no slanket? Think of the advertising $ you’re missing out on!
@kvanh After the kama sutra book, vendors no longer allowed to sell to @lexfri.
- Philip Michaels:
“At Toby Keith’s, we only serve what we kill. Tonight’s Special: Hippies.”
@PhilipMichaels Are you staying at Harrah’s?
- Philip Michaels:
@jeffporten No, just passing through on my way to other things.
@PhilipMichaels I was there last night, and I’m not sure I’d recognize you in the real world. Buzz me if there’s an IDG kaffeeklatch.
