CES 2008: OpenMoko partnered with DASH to make their new GPS units

James Allan Brady, Jan 2nd 2008 Discuss [2]

So do you remember that cool little cell phone that looked a lot like a Helio Ocean but it was from OpenMoko?

Christina Crouch, Jan 2nd 2008 Discuss [8]

I believe there’s an old saying about how as one door closes, another opens. Just as we were beginning to say our final goodbyes to rear projection, a new generation is born and it plans to make its debut at CES after a two year gestation (plans for the Laser TV were announced at CES in 2006).

James Allan Brady, Dec 29th 2007 Discuss [0]

Well, I don’t know if we’ll rock the show, but I’ve been playing Rock Band for a few hours now so that’s all that was in my head.

CES badges to have embedded RFID tag

Chris Scott Barr, Jul 30th 2007 Discuss [2]

I just signed up for CES 2008 today and noticed something rather interesting. It looks like the registration badges will have an embedded RFID tag. According to the website the tag won't contain any personal information, rather it will only have your ID number. If you're paranoid about Big Brother tracking your every move at the event (that is if you're planning on attending) you do have the option of checking a box to not have one in your badge. I'm going to have one in mine, I doubt that we'll actually even notice that anything is going on with it, as it's just going to track overall info for the show management.
