The Consumer Electronics Show is currently underway and here’s a little personal selection of highlights and other bits and pieces.
AOL ad revenue drops 18% on previous quarter, according to some number fudging from Imran Khan of J.P. Morgan.
Move over Vista, the upgrade initiative for Windows 7 starts on July 1st. It’s crazy to think that Windows Vista has only been out just under two years and we’re already due for another bug-riddled nightmare. The exact point of Windows 7 has yet to be revealed to me.
