I was there today... it was SWEET!! Microsoft had an entire building and I got to play with the new gigabeat and with some UMPCs Plus they gave out lots of free stuff (frisbee, thumbdrive, teeshirts, cds - and some microsoft guy gave me a LEGAL copy in box copy of VB.net Pro 2003
Also.. squid labs had a laser cutting printer (they engraved my name onto my cellphone for me for free) you could just make something on the comptuer, hit print and it was laser engrave into whatever you wanted
Also, there was a class for 15 dollars where you got to take home a serial programmable microcontroller and an rfid reader for free (valued total 100 dollars)
It was a pretty sweet day
Yahoo also had an exhibit but it SUCKED!!! they didn't even have any free stuff... or anythign that hadn't come out yet... lame...
I also saw a neat bubble performance (just trust me on that one)
finally, there was a neat little robot that could stand on one foot, bend over and wave its arms, plus do sumersaults, cartwheels and headstands...
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
