Icecoldbagey · 9th Jan 2006, 22:11

In that heat i doubt that fan would cool you down.

hehehe what good is the CES show if you dont stop by the world biggest porn show as well I suppose. Nice pics though!

DreamTheEndless · 9th Jan 2006, 22:26

why didn't you guys stay in the US 1 or 2 more days so that you could pop over to san francisco and catch the steve jobs keynote?

Rumor has it that he will be introducing a 50 inch plasma television with a mac built-in with PVR software......

Neogumbercules · 9th Jan 2006, 22:49

Is that a giant glowing McDonald's sign I see in the top pic?

I understand it may take a while for these articles to be produced, just eager I guess

Just for clarification though, woman + images = good

scq · 9th Jan 2006, 23:38

Haha. Nice pictures. On one of the call cards, only $39! And I thought hookers would cost more than that.

I can only assume that the only reason why you guys ended up at CES rather than that 'other' trade show were your Bit-Tech responsibilities (or you'd probably want us to think of your blind devotion to 'computer-related' tech).

Tim S · 9th Jan 2006, 23:57

I've known about G71 (or whatever you want to call it) since before GTX 512 was announced but I don't go around publishing what I find out when having a few beers with a board partner/manufacturer. You're likely to get no information the next time you speak to them.

There's a lot of stuff that I do know about that I really shouldn't do - that's because board partners are quite open with me in confidence that I don't go around brown nosing people because I've got the information well before many other journalists. The last time I did publish something before I should have done so was before GeForce 7800 GTX launch - I hit the specs on the head in mid-May and was politely asked to remove them. I'd rather keep getting the information ahead of time so that when it comes to publishing reviews, I've got an idea of what to expect before things are released.

Just think half the size, twice as fast...

I gotta say, that pic from the hotel room, does an amazing job of making Vegas actually look like its got some class

Some nice photography there though, besides the hot chicks and mr gates pics

mrplow · 10th Jan 2006, 00:10

You poor guys, out there working tirelessly for us.

Someone's gotta do it I guess.

kenco_uk · 10th Jan 2006, 00:11

No matter how small you write it, it still shows up

Oh and er, more pics! Out of thousands, can those select few really be all of the best ones?

valium · 10th Jan 2006, 00:35

If you guys need a journalist to check out non-tech related conventions, I'd be more than willing to oblige

Da Dego · 10th Jan 2006, 00:43

lol.

1) The part you can't read on the cards, it's actually $39 EACH, and you needed to buy 2 at a time (I kid you not).

2) Neogumblahblahblah, yes that is a McDonald's sign

The golden arches and Denny's both got a little neon glow.

3) The AVNs are apparently scheduled every year on the days of CES. Oh darn, unlucky us.
