They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas--but where's the fun in that? As part of a marathon trip through what seemed like miles and miles of vendor booths, housed in the apparently endless Las Vegas Convention Center, Calvin Tang snapped more photos than could possibly be  …

Even though Mobile technologies didn't seem to have quite the footprint at CES one might have expected, that isn't to say that the presence of such devices was nonexistent. Home theater may have stolen the show, but mobile and wireless tech couldn't be ignored.

The team over at the Nokia booth lent us a Nokia Booklet 3G so that I could give it a test run during the Last Gadget Standing presentation. Posts will come in updates using AT&T 3G. Last Gadget Standing

For all the noise surrounding the rise of netbooks, the re-emergence of tablet computing, and the continuing global takeover of mobile computing, none of these categories really seem to have an overwhelming presence at CES in 2010.

After the general calm of the pre-9am hour, CES quickly picked up and has since built to a standing-room-only fight for space. Hungry? Good luck. Cocoon: GRID-IT!

CES - LAS VEGAS via NBCU Blogger Lounge - I was the last to get a projection TV, then I held out for as long as I could to get an HD plasma TV.

One of the benefits of having an 'Exhibiting Press' badge is the ability to head in and check out the showroom floor before the exhibitors are finished preparing for the day and before the bulk of the crowd arrives.

Flying the relatively short distance from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, this much became certain: Less than thrilling keynotes aside, CES is still a huge draw. I was surrounded by CES-bound travelers--some flying in just to wander around, at least one with a CE product to show off.

CES. The biggest consumer electronics show in the world, boasting a lengthy history of important product introductions. The Nintendo Entertainment System? DVD? The camcorder? Blu-Ray? Virtual Boy? (On second thought, scratch that last one.)

Leading up to CES 2010, a few notables: Google: As reported on All Things Digital, Google has scheduled an Android press event for January 5th, just two days before the official start of CES.

Attendees at CES will have a choice of conference sessions covering almost every conceivable topic in consumer electronics, but perhaps nothing will be so current or come with such immediate ramifications on the future of an industry as the hotly debated topic of mobile computing.

The forms have been filled out and the hurdles have been cleared: As of today, I am officially registered to cover the 2010 Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas as an MSNBC.com / Newsvine correspondent, live-blogging from the NBC Universal Blogger Lounge and elsewhere arou …

Full disclosure: As an Indiana native, I was rooting for the Indianapolis Colts to win Super Bowl XLIV. No such luck. Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for outplaying a tough team, and for a well-earned victory.

I'm not Steve Jobs, I've never spoken with him and I don't have a tunnel behind my filing cabinet that leads into his brain.

It's January, and that can only mean one thing in tech circles: CES! Apple has new products to talk about!

Last month I wrote about the distribution woes facing Greg Kohs, director of the critically acclaimed, award-winning documentary, Song Sung Blue.

Two years ago, I posted a two part "open-ended" series about the Hyatt-Regency Skywalk collapse of July 17, 1981, which detailed the efforts of survivors and family members to have a memorial erected near the site of the tragedy:

For those who haven't travelled to San Francisco to attend Macworld, or who don't routinely follow any aspect of the event beyond Steve Jobs' Keynote speech, it may comes as a surprise to discover that the Moscone Center doesn't fold in on itself after Apple's enigmatic CEO leave …

San Francisco at four in the morning: The streets are, for the most part, empty -- a refreshing change of pace from the usual bumper-to-bumper traffic slowly blaring its collective horn through downtown. The air is crisp.

When considering the major religious pilgrimages, there are a few biggies that spring to mind: Christians make their way to Jerusalem, Hindus have the Char Dham, the Islamic faith has its Mecca, Elvis fans have Graceland and die-hard Apple fans have Macworld in San Francisco.

The Macworld Conference and Expo officially kicks off on Monday, January 14 and concludes on Friday, the 18th.
