January 24, 2005. It may sound too good to be true, but it isn't, according to the people at COMPU-TECHNICS Atom Chip Corporation. They are the world leaders in the manufacturing of "Quantum-Optical RAM and storage" which can store up to 3.2GB in one cubic millimeter (0.0393701 inch) of non-volatile memory. Imagine what that could do in an MP3 player.

 

  
   
  CES to Open With 454 new exhibitors

January 5, 2005. The Consumer Electronics Show will begin in Las Vegas on January 6, 2005. To illustrate the growth in popularity and the ultimate success of this event, of the 2,573 companies exhibiting their wares at this year's event, 454 or nearly 18% of them are new!

CES - the New COMDEX?

The Consumer Electronics Show begins in Las Vegas on January 6, 2005. More and more, this show is stealing the thunder from what was once the undisputed technology show of shows - COMDEX. But as advancing technology pulls the computing and entertainment sectors closer together, not to mention the consumer electronics and business equipment markets, CES has expanded to embrace them all while COMDEX was regressing, before finally canceling this Fall's show altogether.

If you ignore the difference in logos, it is hard to differentiate today's CES from yesterday's COMDEX in many respects, these among them:

  1. Bill Gates is giving the keynote address the night before the show starts.
  2. CEOs of Intel, Motorola, HP, and Texas Instruments are also giving keynote addresses.
  3. It is held at the LVCC (Las Vegas Convention Center)
  4. There is a separate gaming showcase.
  5. Familiar computer technologies, such as Bluetooth and VOIP abound.
  6. The Emerging Technology TechZone, showcasing new advances in both computer and entertainment technology, including such interesting events as a discussion by U.S. Congressional members discussing technical issues facing the next session.
  7. Groups of techies trying to install things faster than other groups of techies.
  8. Gee whiz hardware displays galore.
  9. Thousands of awards.

The emphasis, however is centered squarely on consumer electronics, rather then on personal computers. Although the areas overlap, the former COMDEX attendee who was only interested in high powered microcomputers and business and scientific applications and development will probably not find what they want.
