    Which is so much tastier than the not free complementary food and drinks.

    That was a quick and painless death to a server.

    Sound waves should be free!
  3. Digital Photo Frame by mysqlrocks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The coolest looking product at the AMD table was the Samsung Digital Photo Frame. This is a 7 inch LCD frame that has Ethernet, USB, SD, and CF connections.

    What, no wireless connection?

      Actually, that's a good point. Having a digital photo frame update itself over 802.11b or some other wireless standard would be pretty neat. Maybe a flickr enabled digital photo frame? (uh oh... I think I just gave away a million dollar idea).

  4. Wow! by Jurph · · Score: 5, Funny

    So not only was the food free, it was also "complementary". If a Slashdot post is saved from redundancy by a spelling mistake, is it still a horribly-composed post? Yes. Yes it is.

    Also: "were showed" and "there was ... food and drinks". If I can learn Perl, then surely someone at the Slashdot editors' bunker can learn English!
