Clear Speakers, Segway Clone Top CES Coverage

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wish-I-coulda-gone dept.

jlouderb writes "Phew. We just finished five days of wall to wall coverage of this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Highlights include "invisible" speakers, a Segway clone for around $1,000, details on Intel's LCoS plans, a humanoid robot from Sony and more HDTV recorders, new home networking schemes and flat panel TVs than you can shake a stick at. If you weren't one of the 100,000 or so who made it to Vegas, check out what you missed at PCMag.com."

    If you're trolling, fuck off immediately and stop causing people consternation. If you aren't, please click the above link and find a suicide hotline near you. Operators are standing by.

    Incidentally, I wonder what's up with that page's colors. Black and purple? Gah, how depressing.

  3. Not a clone in the slightest... by EvilFrog · · Score: 3, Informative

    The "Segway Clone" is only a clone in the respect that it looks vaguely similar to one. All of the technological advances that make the Segway unique are missing.

    The entire point of the Segway is the gyroscopic balancing.

    I'm reminded of that "RoboSweep" that billed itself a "Roomba Clone".

    Why screw around with this lame four-wheeled "scooter", when you can make your very own segway clone???
