It’s that magical time of the year again – International Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas! While you can expect us to touch on products high on the buzz meter, we will also be hunting for the low key, the obscure, the artful, and the bizarre.

A brand new mash-up of Roy Orbison’s classic hit “Pretty Woman” was just posted online.  Once again, THE BRAT delivers another great mash-up video.  You can check out others at his website www.bratproductions.com

There is a new challenger preparing to shake up the videogame console wars in a really big way.  Introducing OnLive.  OnLive, at its core, is a service that delivers high quality next-gen gaming via real-time broadband streaming, but the experience goes well beyond the service.  Through the combination of advanced technologies (Cloud Computing), new innovations (superfast streaming gameplay) and rethinking the way of doing things (minimal hardware required by the end user), OnLive has significantly lowered the barrier to entry for would-be gamers to play and enjoy the hottest games not to mention all the hard-core players who spend tons of $$$ left and right.

While it seems just like yesterday that we were ushering in a new wave of flat-screen televisions using buzz words like Plasma, DLP, LCD and the still relatively new and growing LED units, one of the most exciting innovations in the almighty quest for the best home theater experience is 3DTV.  What does this mean exactly?  Well chances are you probably went and saw Avatar over the holiday break just like everyone on the Teknoglobius staff.  Assuming you paid the higher ticket to watch the movie in 3D (the only way to watch Avatar btw), 3DTV promises to deliver that same experience in the home.  Imagine instead of picking up the regular Bluray edition of Avatar, you could now buy the Avatar in 3D Bluray release and relive the entire spectacle all over again or see the movie for the first time in its true splendor well after it has left the theaters!  With Hollywood pushing more movie productions in 3D, the videogame industry also looking at true 3D gaming and soon-to-be lower costs for the 3DTV sets, we are going to literally experience a new dimension in the way we enjoy entertainment in the home.  Check back here for our continuing coverage of hot CES trends straight from the showfloor.  You can now remove your 3D glasses.

Went to the Opening of New People in the heart of San Fran’s Japantown. It was an enjoyable opening full of everything you’d expect from a Japanese Pop Culture Center. Cosplay, free souchu shots, gloomy bear figures, anime books, and a miniature screening room in the basement for an added bonus were just some of the highlights during my drunken tour. And if none of that interests you, it was also a good field test a new Flip Video Ultra camera I had recently won .
