CES 2014: Bits and Bytes



The long-sought after, much-requested CF reader with thunderbolt prototype was shown at CES this year, with a targeted retail of under $100. This company normally does OEM work, but they might market this under their own name. Ready to go, just waiting for the higher ups to approve production.


nVidia was showing off this 3 screen 4K game environment with some new super-duper video card. A lot of ohhs-and-ahhs on this.


While the world awaits the Apple iWatch, a lot of other companies were showing their versions off at the show. Personally, DV Dude has no interest in this, but others seem to. People were talking about them.


And this is the first thing DV Dude saw at CES this year - a Dalek made out of speakers. Located in the Massive booth in the automotive section, this was a big hit with all the Doctor Who fans. It was working, using that sultry voice that the Dalek is famous for. The joke was the Dalek was uttering things about being peaceful and one with the universe, and famously screamed "Exterminate stress! Exterminate stress!" Made my day.
