The Non-Geek Guide to the Consumer Electronics Show

The Non-Geek Guide to the Consumer Electronics Show

LAS VEGAS -- The trek across the plain of taupe carpet was so treacherous and full of distractions that it could be the premise of a video game. From every direction I was accosted by the noise of blaring flat-screens and approached by eager Samsung representatives dying to introduce me to their Hulu-enabled this-or-that. It took real courage to ask one of these fellows to point the way to what I was really after. In fact, he didn't even know they had any. And his question was, perhaps, similar to yours: "You're looking for the, uh, refrigerators?" Robyn Beck, AFP / Getty ...

A 'Beer Beard,' Really? Prank Gift Boxes Spice Up Christmas

By  Monica Garske - AOL News

(Dec. 16) -- There's nothing like watching a loved one open a gift on Christmas -- especially when that gift is wrapped in a ridiculous prank box that makes them squirm with awkwardness.

iPhone 4: Way Cool, but Is Anyone Recycling Their Old Ones?

This has been quite a week for novelty and inspiration. Alongside the USA's dramatic victory over Algeria in the World Cup and the longest tennis match in history, Apple also rolled out the latest incarnation of its incredibly popular iPhone. In Japan, where the launch for the iPhone 4 began on Thursday morning, Apple's exclusive wireless carrier had sold out by early afternoon. In the United States, more than 600,000 pre-orders for the new phone crashed the system on Wednesday. One eager soul in Dallas camped out at an Apple store a full week before the launch.
