wow that's a shiny mario....
Gaint Mario = Best
Gaint Mario = Best
Double Post = Worst
Where are the pics of the Booth Babes? (And no more Veronica Belmont please?)
Yup, any photo essay of best/worst of CES without Veronica is just not a credible one.
With all the new skins available, was that a leopard print couch or a really big router?
The hot girl in the bikini from picture 7 has to be the winner.
She looks like this was all Norcent could afford.
I kinda felt like she could have been hotter too, but I'd rather see her naked than mario.
The first pic, with the robot and the two dudes. You're making fun of the dudes right, cause the robot is the least fugly thing in that picture.
Technically, that was only a dish of pretzels. Best was the helix tower of laptops.
stargate is all new tonight.
Ha... I saw a couple bowls of pretzels. They were all from Asian companies pawning some pretty cheesy toys.
Poor HD-DVD I spotted 'The Bourne Supremacy' in their spiral pyramid thing twice. I wonder how many other movies were in there more than once.
The Norcent booth babe was alright.
I really liked Pioneer's metal look, very Fallout-ish in my opinion.
But the Intel setup and also the Sharp setups were very eye-catching and rather cool in their own ways.
But what exactly were those chem beakers for? I assume some sort of 'oxygen' bar thing. I don't know, but I want to breathe whatever was in them.
yep, you called it -- oxygen bar

Those pretzels look pretty badass.
OMG! An oxygen bar? WTF?????!!!?
JVC jetpacks FTW!
Mmmm... pretzels...
Tacky display, but Eneloop's batteries are actually pretty good.
Hahaha... "Retro gaming with DLP..."
You mean I can play Galaga on this? Well, I was gonna go with LCD but now... HOLY CRAP SCREW THAT AND SIGN ME UP FOR IT'S AMAZING IT'S THE MIRRORS!!!!1
Ah, the Vegas oxygen bar. I guess the old tricks are the best tricks.
