CES is just awful. Just awful.
4k televisions with nothing to show on them, billions of bad tablets that will be on sale refurbished (read: open box) on Woot in 6 months, more touchscreen Windows 8 stuff no one will buy, more phones that will fall short in critical areas, android powered ovens, just sadness all around.
Apple's keynotes are just as bad but at least the people there are enthusiastic about getting their bad tech junk. CES/E3 anymore are more about swag bags and getting comped alcohol. I'd have skipped out on CES and went to the AVN awards; at least those might be dignified.

I'm going to drag you motherfuckers to a dental trade show sometime. Then you'll see the truly pathetic.

Yeah, seriously go to a high voltage electronics trade show and watch the sales weasels try and pitch you new diodes and SCRs that aren't going to be in production for 2-3 years unless they get enough orders ahead of time. Talk about boring... not even any alcohol.

There's plenty of booze at dental trade shows. It's the only humane thing to do.

The video was embarrassing to the point of making me actually squirm in my seat at work.
and the tweet: "Guillermo del Toro demonstrates Qualcomm power by showing the hammer scene from Pan's Labyrinth." made me laugh hard enough at work that my cube neighbors took notice.

So, one of my former flying monkeys now works for the Verge and she was there for all the CES hijinx. Oh. My. Fucking. God. this year was a fucking shitshow.

To end the keynote, Maroon 5 came on stage to do an acoustic set. While it was a nice show for the people in attendance, livestream viewers had a different experience. Presumably because it didn't have the rights to broadcast Maroon 5's music, CES instead played silence, and then Dido over the audio track.

Nah, what bodes ill for E3 is new consoles so it'll be boring predictable announcement time. The best E3 presentations are where they've got nothing and are frantically trying to distract everyone from that.

I really thought that said Peter Molyneux in that caption and I was thinking, "That's just fucking great, these will be the world's first disappointing headphones".
