Head's Up!

I'm sure everyone know by know that the CES(Consumer Electronics Show) is going under way...what you didn't? You should be ashamed of yourself! just kidding :). Well it is under way and boy are there some sweet stuff being announced. Everything from 1/2 inch thick 55 inch lcd tv's, to personalized GPS systems, to digital photo frame/wireless routers, to touch screen wristwatch phones, and lots of other goodies! The list can go on and on but I'll let you guys take a look for yourself. The best places to checkout what's happening are Engadget and Gizmodo. Both do an awesome job of keeping current with the show.

On another note, Microsoft has announced the official release of Windows 7 beta for tomorrow. I'll be giving it a try under VMWare and reporting back with my review so keep your eyes peeled.

On another 'nother note, I'm planning on building a mac pro. That's right, a custom mac pro for around $800 and better specs than the official Mac Pro's. I'll be doing it with the help of a gadget called EFiX. I'll keep you guys up to date on the progress.

Phew, that was quite a bit. Now onto your comments: What gadgets are you most looking forward to this year? What impresses you the most from the CES so far? What do you think needs to be improved upon in current technologies?

That's awesome. I want to hear all about your build. You should write up a step by step post with pics. As far as CES goes, I'm always excited to see the latest and greatest TV technology, to see what will be coming down the pipe in a year or two.

This year companies seem to be racing for the slimmest tv instead of biggest. I believe LG had come out with a 55 in. LCD, that was only about 1/2 inch thick.

I'll definitely do the step by step post.
