Upcoming Events: GDGT Live and CE Week NYC

gdgt ceweek 2012

 

Hey everyone, We just wanted to let you all know that GDGT Live is this coming Monday (aka today, 6/25) in NYC. If you happen to live in the area and don’t have plans Monday night, we highly suggest making it out to the event. It’s the only tech event in NYC that’s open to the public and it only happens once a year here in the city. The complete vendors list can be found over on the GDGT site and you’ll definitely want to check it out. Logitech, Boxee, Gunnar Optics, and Western Digital will all be there and that’s just a few of the companies that will be showing off their new wares. Plus there’s raffle prizes and freebies for the first few hundred people to show up. And drink tickets for the thirsty among you.

Here’s the link to register http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3596843255. If you can’t make it to the event, then make sure you follow us  on twitter and stay up to date as we’ll be doing live updates during the event. If there’s anything you want to see, just ask and we’ll make sure to get you the info you need.

Also, this week is CE Week NYC. Unlike other shows like Pepcom and Showstoppers, CE Week is, as the name suggests, a week long series of events. The way we like to think of it is that it’s a miniature CES in NYC. That’s also starting up on Monday with events and panels around the city. The main event opens on Wednesday and you can rest assured that we’ll be there. Again, follow us on twitter to get our live updates and to ask us any questions.

Pepcom Eco-Focus NYC


Not too long ago, the great folks of Pepcom through one of their signature press events in NYC. There’s always a theme and this time was no different. Since it was April and Earth Day wasn’t too long ago, the theme was being green and impacting the environment as little as possible. Here’s a run down of the cool stuff that we came across and think you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for in the near future.

CES 2012 Post Show Report – Pink Visual Pr0n Party

CES was many things to us here at The Marduk Report. This was our first CES and we were fortunate enough to go while still in our infancy. There was obviously tech stretching farther than the eye can see, most of it being amazing. There were plenty of great people that we met too. The crowds were big, but we’re from NYC, so it was nothing shocking to us. And then there were the parties. There were so many parties that by the Thursday during the show, we started reevaluating our party choices. And while we went to a number of parties and events, there was one that left a good and very memorable impression on us. It was also the last party you would expect to find at the world’s largest tech show. It was the Pron Party.

CES 2012 Post Show Report – NYKO

Nyko Logo

While wandering the hallowed halls of  the Las Vegas Convention Center, we happened to find a lot of junk. And not just worthless products that nobody needs, but also junk that makes one wonder what kind of business strategy can be behind selling a product that everyone else makes. There has to be a limit to how many different approaches one can take to heapdphones while keeping the cost down, but the answer to that riddle did not lie in the row after row of headphones in the North Hall.

The Central Hall was home to the super booths, like Samsung and LG, which each was easily half the size of a suburban Wal-Mart. Within all that, we found a bastion of light coming from a booth that had something we actually care about – gaming. The booth belonged to Nyko.

CES 2012 Post Show Report – Razer

Razer, one of the leading companies in computer gaming peripherals, landed at the 2012 CES with a little more up it’s sleeve than most expected. Not only did they have their usual fair of gaming mice, keyboards, and other accessories, but they brought the Blade. And even more important than the Blade, Razer brought Project Fiona to CES.
