CES 2012: basics for beginners

, Jan 4th 2012 Discuss [11]

For those that have never heard of CES, aka the Consumer Electronics Show, think of it like this: it’s like a comic book convention where everything is brand new and instead of superheros, there are robots, gigantic computer displays, and so many USB sticks we’ll never again have to buy a new one.
