CES-201X

 

It’s that time if year again, where all forms of the press and  tech from the farthest flung industries collide in an all-out cacophony of sweet releases and sweeter  announcements. It’s that time when you, the reader, can put your feet up (if no one is looking) and partake in the electronic feast that is CES 2013.

Technically, today is Day 0 and the actual show floor hasn’t opened yet, but worry not dear reader! We will be here for the entire week of the show to give you the scoops of the latest, coolest, and just some of the random and interesting things that we’re sure to find here.

We’ve got plenty lined up for the week, so make sure you check back often to see what kind of great gadgets and exciting announcements we’ll be covering. If your appetite is incredibly strong, follow us on twitter, @TheMardukReport and @digispa as we’ll be heading out to a few press conferences and live tweeting from them.

Protip: Sony Press Conference is in 2.5 hours and we’ll be there.

 

You’ll also want to give a follow to these other folks because they’ll be covering some great stuff:

1 Comment

A while back, During CE Week, we mentioned that we saw some of the new offerings from Audio-Technica and how much we wanted to take a closer look at the ATH-W55 aka the Solid Bass headphones. We recalled that these headphones were packing a fairly serious punch during the show, but now that lights have come down and the crowds have dispersed, it’s time to really see how well these headphones sound.

Doubling down on the Yamakasi Catleap goodness

 

So not too long ago we, took a look at the highly talked about Yamakasi Catleap Q270. It was a beautiful monitor that performed well, but calling it  barebones in its features and connections was an understatement. Well, we recently decided to double down on all of that desktop real estate and add another monitor to the mix. It was certainly an adventure and we learned a few things along the way that we thought you might like to know.

Review: Samsung Galaxy S III (T-Mobile)

The mobile space is an interesting area. The price of decent to excellent hardware is going to cost somewhere in the $500 mark for base level models and at the same time, the processing power is leagues below mid to high level laptops and desktops.

Trimming the Cord – Segment Zero

1 Comment

 

Have you been reading about everyone is cutting the cord these days? It seems like every tech site out there has some story about how you can take back your life and money by giving your evil cable provider the boot and saying “Sayonara!” to your cable bill. Granted, there are a massive amount of options these days for streaming video content to the television that we’re not going to get into at the moment. We get the odd feeling that most of the stories that we’ve read seem to either forget or fail to consider one thing: the solutions they provide aren’t girlfriend/wife friendly.
