Wasn’t a huge fan of the looks of the Coupe, but the Roadster with the top down looks awesome.
Beer Blast Chiller

Check out this new fridge from LG with a Beer Blast Chiller.
A single can cools to refreshing temperatures in 5 minutes; two cans or a bottle of wine, eight minutes. The contoured cradle will secure anything cylindrical, I would imagine it would be fun to experiment with blast chilling other things. And the LG man on hand said he’d never had a can blow up in his face—it’s in the swirl, not the shake, he says.

Kick It to the Curb
Kickstarter: i+Case // iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 Bumper.
When Kickstarter projects go bad, sadly I was a backer on this one. There is absolutely no recourse if the project is a scam. I should’ve realized something early on when the horrible customer service skills of the project creator, Jason Valalik, became obvious. Now, a few months down the rode, 1000 backers have a iPhone bumper paperweight.
I’m not saying don’t use Kickstarter, but I’ll be a little more skeptical going into any project I back from now on. And if you ever see the name Jason Valalik come up, run in the other direction.

Why You Can Ignore CES

The Atlantic: Why You Can Ignore CES: The Great Tablet Hype by Alexis Madrigal.
We broke down the trajectories of 17 tablets from CES 2011. In the final tally, I think you could say one is a qualified success (the Asus Eee Pad Transformer), one did OK (the Motorola XOOM), and several flopped (Dell Streak, RIM Playbook) or made no impact (Coby Kyrus, Cydle M7 Multipad, Naxa NID-7001). Nine never were heard from again.
This is why it’s OK to ignore CES. Most of the product announcements (the majority in this case) lead nowhere, and if some product is really important, you’ll hear about it via some other avenue.
