CES 2005 Day 1 - Walking The Show Floor
TheTechLounge writes "Our second day in Vegas for CES, and our first day on the actual show floor was pretty much what I expected: mountains of new gadgets, people in suits staring at your name tag and scantily clad models trying not to get angry as they are repeatedly photographed. We started our excursion on opening day in the upper levels of the South Hall. Big name companies like ATI, nVidia, AMD, Logitech, and HP were showcasing anything and everything they could fit into their floor space."
I'll have you the trouble...here are the babes
Projectors are far better for arraying in terms of joining, but there are still some issues, such as barrel distortion. A straight line projected through a lens will end up curved, particularly at the borders.
I'm curious what it takes to make a no-edge-molding LCD display, such that the edge of the image is the edge of the panel for near-seemless joining.
Seriously, did they think they were hired for their hard work and moral values? Ummm...no I think they were probably told outright that they would be eye candy for the masses of geeks there wandering around. And is that so bad? If you've got the assets, you'd be a fool not to use them right? Personally, I don't think a woman/man is degraded by modeling her/his body professionally.
Now maybe the moral problem comes in when you get paid by people stuffing dollar bills down your underwear...but who am I to decide what peoples' morals are?
FYI, if you really wanted to see hot women this weekend in Vegas, there's also a Adult Film Convention taking place at the same time. Dunno where it is, but just follow all the flocking male crowds ;)
... clearly wants to defect to Apple.
