  1. This years expo vs. last year by generationcrm · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I was disapointed to see less software venders there. Last year there were pleanty of new ideas and projects started. You really noticed how the down economy has weeded out a majority of them. It was a great expo over all (a lot of hardware). To bad some of the newer up and comming software and development projects could not get a presence there. Maybe someone can start a non profit drive to sponser smaller up and comming groups?

    some other show highlights:
    IBM had a good showing with lots to exhibit. i wasn't sure if it was IBM or a partner, but they had a great display of a java app that checks to see if your eyes are open or closed. this would be great to incorporate it into a car.
