Consumer Electronics Show 2010 that has just concluded in Las Vegas has created a lot of buzz. I was one of the excited observers who was especially focused on upcoming 3D TV sets. Needless to say, the 3D Television has generated most interest but there were some other gadgets worth a mention. Without further ado, let me take a brief look at the Best of Consumer Electronics Show 2010 and offer my own Consumer Electronics Show 2010 Review:

Consumer Electronics Show E-Readers Review

Given the digital age we have all submerged ourselves into, 2010 is without doubt all about the electronic media. As a result, many exhibitors at the Consumer Electronics Show displayed their e-readers and e-books. I personally don’t find any of those useable as I would either use my laptop to read on line news or would stick with paper print if I’m on an airplane or a bus. Even though some e-readers were made from flexible materials and allowed for being roller up, I still didn’t find it anything I would like to own.

Consumer Electronics Show Interactive Dashboard Review

Ford has introduced an in car system that will be up to par with latest computer technologies and will allow the users to connect to the internet and play interactive games. The MyFord Touch Dashboard will be featured in 2011 Ford Edge. This is pretty cool. I’m actually surprised cars are still not sold with this being a standard feature.

Consumer Electronics Show Skype on TV Review

LG and Panasonic will be equipping their connected HDTVs with webcam and Skype support so consumers will be able to make VOIP phone calls using their internet connection and big screen, high definition TV Set. This is cool. You’ll be able to see your girlfriend’s mug across your 50″ HDTV as you’re camming on Skype next time around. Cool stuff.

Consumer Electronics Show Sony SD Card Support Review

Sony cameras will now be available with support for Secure Digital memory cards. Sony used to only support their proprietary Memory Stick which really sucked and made for more expensive and non cross platform compatible solution. Quality of Sony cameras will remain shitty, but now you can have one that takes SD cards. All in all, you are the only one to blame if you opt for overpriced, underperforming cameras made by Sony. It’s akin to buying a Mac computer. It plain and simple = FAIL!

Consumer Electronics Show 3D Video Camera Review

Panasonic has introduced an end user camcorder that will record 3D videos (playable in 3D on 3D TV Sets). The camcorder is equipped with two lenses, each recording Full HD video on its SDHC card. The camcorder will be available for sale in fall of 2010 and will cost $21,000. Given the price tag, Panasonic will custom build the camcorder for you. Awesome. Let the bets begin on who the first porn producers with 3D cameras will be.

Consumer Electronics Show USB 3.0 HDD and Laptops Review

USB 3.0 storage devices (computer and laptop hard drives) were introduces by Western Digital and Seagate. Intel has introduced one of their upcoming laptops which will have the capability to wirelessly connect to an HD TV with mere touch of a button.

This is my brief best of sum up of the CES Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas. The 3D TVs ruled the show and drew most interest. Everyone is gonna want to have a 3D TV in their living rooms. Let’s hope you the reader have put off the purchase of a new big screen TV or else you’re gonna hate yourself. See you at Consumer Electronics Show 2011.

I occasionally find out about new wonders of the world that no-one knows about, yet they are absolutely astounding. Naica Crystal Cave in Mexico is definitely one of them. Discovered only recently, Naica Crystal Cave contains world’s largest natural crystals (translucent beams of gypsum) some of which are as long as 11 meters. It’s very hot inside Naica Crystal Cave – temperature reaches 50 Degrees Celsius and humidity is almost always near 100% making for challenging visits. Sharp edged crystals along with unbearable environment resulted in Mexican Naica Crystal Cave labelled as one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Cueva de los Cristales (Cave of the Crystals) – as Naica is known among native Mexicans will be featured on “How Earth Made Us” program broadcast by British BBC and on The Deadliest Places on Earth feature by National Geographics in early 2010. You can seen the video with first footage ever recorded in Naica Crystal Cave in Mexico below. Filmed by Italian cave explorers, the video offers great perception on how hot and humid it is inside the cave.

I am not sure whether Naca Crystal Cave is open for tourists, but given that a human can only survive for some 10 minutes in such harsh environment without specialty protective clothing, I somehow doubt that. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who visited the area to find out what really is going on. Naica Crystal Cave is located near Delicias in Chihuahua state of Mexico. It was discovered in 2000 when Mexican miners were pumping mineral rich water from a well covering the cave. Neico is a range of mines in the Chihuahu state where mining has been done for year. A visit to this world marvel must be interesting. Too bad Mexico is so dangerous nowadays. Check out the mindboggling video below:

Chinese government has invested $585 Billion as stimulus package to support the growth of Chinese economy despite recession. Big chunk of the money went towards speedy creation of cities such as Ordos in Inner Mongolia, north-east China. Ordos was built in just 5 years and was built to be big enough for 1 million residents, however the city is empty. Despite all the modern infrastructure, there is hardly anybody there and Ordos as seen for what it really is – an Empty City.

Thanks to its low population numbers, but high income due to nearby coal mines, Ordos has the second highest per capita income, after Shanghai. And even though Ordos remains an Empty City with hardly any inhabitants, management of construction companies claims that all units have been sold, it’s just that nobody’s moving in. Most of the house and apartments have been purchased by investors. At present time Ordos is an Empty City in China, but if it takes off, the value of these homes and other real estate will sky rocket which in the end will result in great return on investment.

The video about Ordos, China’s Empty City by Al Jazeera is below:

Meet Haisong Jiang, 28 year old man who triggered the shutdown of Newark airport terminal by sneaking through security checkpoint from the sterile side back to the unscreened side. Haisong Jiang was apprehended by the police and interrogated at the Port Authority Police building at Newark Airport in Newark, N.J. The police learned that Haisong Jiang wanted to bid his girlfriend good bye, which was the reason he went back to the other side. He didn’t realize it would wreak complete havoc and result in shutdown of an entire terminal at Newark.

As a result of his behavior, Haisong Jiang is facing trespassing charge and a fine of up to $500. Haisong Jiang lives in Piscataway, New Jersey but was born in Jiangxi, China. He moved to the United States in 2004. I don’t understand how he can be 28 year old. He looks more like 40 to me. I also understand that he didn’t mean no harm, but he caused a lot of damage, delayed and frustrated thousands of people yet he was fined $500. That leaves me speechless.

Remember the 3D TV Sets that were expected to be introduced at CES Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this January? Well, so far no big news because all the buzz was stolen by latest LG Television – the thinnest TV in the world. The South Korean electronics manufacturer LG unveiled their 7 millimeters thick TV Set which doesn’t have a name yet it’s so new, but is just a touch thicker than cardboard paper. You can look at the size of your nail on the pinky – that’s how thick this LG television is.

According to LG spokesperson who was present at the Consumer Electronics Show, world’s thinnest TVs will be available for sale to general public towards the end of 2010. LG’s chief technology officer Woo Paik referred to the TV as the hyper-slim television and confirmed that it is three times thinner than previously thinnest TV set by LG which was 23 millimeters in width. LG is moving towards equipping all of their new TVs with “Connected TV” feature which will enable interconnection with other home based electronics, as well as the internet.

If you ever thought you were good at something, let me show you the video that will make you look like a complete, incompetent loser. AZO, this Asian kid is the Definition of Multi Talented. You thought you had a talent, or maybe you thought you were multi talented yourself. Well, guess what – you’re not. You suck. This is talent, this is multi talented.

I don’t know much about AZO as I have just found out about him but my jaw has dropped. As I have watched the video I truly began to wonder whether there is anything he can’t do. The way I see it, AZO will soon star in a major Asian production and we’ll see him on the silver screen in North America soon because this is ridiculous. How can someone be this awesome?

Anyway, great way to make you feel insecure. If you were trying parkour or something else that’s cool, don’t even watch the video or else you will quit on yourself. No matter how hard you try, you’re not multi talented. AZO is. He’s the definition of multi talented. Unless he’s simply not human.

They have a whole different culture in Japan so it is often hard to grasp for us in the western hemisphere, but watching their TV pranks is hilarious. The awesomeness of Japan doesn’t end with pranks, though. They are also the home to the world’s smallest toilet. As seen in photos provided, the hallway in one of Japan’s pubs leading to the front to back smallest toilet in the world is so narrow, most fat North Americans would have a hard time getting through. Luckily slim and petite Japanese have no issues with that. Oddly enough, even though world’s smallest toilet is in Japan, the “toilet” sign on its door is in English, and they hardly ever use any non Japanese signs for anything. This to me is weirder than the size of the toilet itself. Claustrophobia anyone?

This seems too awesome to not be fake, but let’s pretend we believe just for one second. Christmas or not, when you need to bust you nut, you need to bust your nut and they say chicks are hornier in winter than in summer cause they are not getting as much of it. This Busted at Christmas Party video appears to have taken place at a workplace. Some kind of storage room full of filing paper is entered by a guy and a girl in heat ready to whip it up and celebrate Christmas in style – along with sperm decorated Christmas cake. I kind of thought the bust would be in that chick having a penis but it didn’t happen to be the case. It was a set up never the less. The chick was quite possibly part of the team that put it all together. Must have sucked for the guy cause the two were likely co-workers so he had this crash on the chick whole year and now it looked like Christmas was the best time of the year to make a move and everything went as he’d desire from the beginning…

I betcha 15 minutes later, after the guy came to he excused himself and went to finish off his horny nut in the washroom.

NY Post Page 6 reports that comic Artie Lange who’s best known for being a Howard Stern sidekick stabbed himself nine times in a suicide attempt. How can he stab himself in a suicide attempt? Are there no self preservation mechanisms in Artie Lange’s mind that would prevent him from inflicting pain upon himself continuously with intentions to take his own life? I mean – I can understand someone taking pills, jumping off the building or pulling a trigger of a handgun in their mouth, cause this type of suicide attempt only takes a simple one time action and that should be it. But stabbing yourself? How can you stab yourself and do it repeatedly while you’re at it?

According to Page 6, Artie Lange was discovered bloodied in his Hoboken apartment by his mom who alerted the police by calling 911 and had him taken to a hospital. Surgeons say Artie Lange was bleeding heavily due to excessive stab wounds but they managed to save his life. So now that his life is saved, Artie Lange can chalk this suicide attempt off as another of his life failures. If you can’t even kill yourself properly then you seriously fail at life. Bloody show off.

If you have recently purchased a brand new TV set (a Christmas present for the family, perhaps), you’ll be pretty pissed off to hear this one. Commercially available 3D TV Sets will be available for sale to end consumers this year. It is expected that new 3D TV Sets will be only about $300 more expensive than same size flat screen TV Sets without 3D capability. You’ve heard it right – a 3D TV experience right in your living room. This is gonna change the way you watch porn forever.

DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg said that his studio will release each of their new movies in 3D versions, because 2010 will be the year of 3D TVs. Sony, Discovery and Imax are joining forces to create the first fully 3D TV channel that could go live as early as towards the end of this year. HDNet owner Mark Cuban also said that his channel will start broadcasting most of its prime time and weekend shows in 3D soon. Disney owned sports network ESPN is planning to start with 3D broadcast on June 11, 2009 with the World Cup soccer.

The question now remains – which company has produced 3D TV Sets? People behind International CES – the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow said they expect Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Mitsubishi and Vizio to unveil their 3D TV models at this week’s show (takes place between January 7 and 10, 2010 in Las Vegas). Consumer trends analysts anticipate 3D TV Sets to become an instant hit. As many as 45% of household in North America may feature a 3D TV Set by 2014 – the analysts anticipate.
