I have until June to figure out how I get out of my Verizon Wireless contract. That’s 5 months to plan. In case you’re one of the 54 people who didn’t already know about the iPhone, visit the Apple site.
I’ve been at CES all week long where all kinds of amazing technology has been introduced. The only so called “news alert” I received from ABCNews.com about anything technology related was for the iPhone. I noticed people surfing for photos of... + read on
The second knowledge track session I attended was Copy Fights: Consumers and Hollywood, Are They Compatible? Here are some of my notes. As before, I’m sure some of my own bias will creep into them.
Copyright and Fair Use as we know it is actually facing more issues outside the US than inside.
There are proposed laws that would add another layers of rights on top of the already complicated mix of rights that need to be addressed when creating... + read on
The first “knowledge session” I attended at CES 2007 was User Generated Media: An Internet, Communications and Advertising Transformation. It was really informative. My notes from the session aren’t complete but I’ll try to reconstruct as much of them as I can here. Some of my own thoughts have slipped in.
User-generated content is providing the voyeuristic view that traditional producers of media wouldn’t approach. Consumer generated media... + read on
Today at CES I attended the opening keynote address. It was given by Gary Shapiro, President and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association and Ed Zander, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Motorola Inc.

Honestly, he’s not got great stage presence, but he did talk about Digital Freedom Campaign which “is dedicated to defending the rights of artists, innovators, creators and consumers to use lawful technology free of... + read on
I will admit, in my previous post I was saying that I would rather see Steve Jobs, so perhaps is karma that I got turned away at the door from seeing Bill Gates’ keynote address. I did come to Las Vegas a day early to see Bill Gates’ keynote address but was not able to get in tonight because I didn’t have a pink ticket to get into the ballroom. But why didn’t I have a ticket? Check out what the CES website says about the keynote speeches.

I’ve got my badge now and am prepared to meet Bill Gates. Will there be a line? Yes. Will Bill talk about Vista? Yes. Will I secretly wish I was seeing Steve Jobs? Yes.
I’m in Las Vegas, getting ready to attend CES. I’m heading to the Hilton to pick up my badge for the show. Tonight’s big event is seeing Bill Gates speak.
To pick up your badge, you need 2 IDs. A driver’s license and a business card that is supposed to show that you work in the industry. I don’t really see how the business card part can really be that effective. I think Kinkos would make a business card with anything you want on it for about... + read on
