This is going to suck - the screen is smaller than what we have at home!

Holy Bazookas! What you can't see in this picture is that each of our chairs is connected to the D-BOX motion system. That means that our chairs shake, rise, tilt, and vibrate in sync with what is going on in the movie. You've seen this before in motion simulator rides at Disney World and Universal Studios - now you can have all that motion sickness fun in your own home!

This had to be the largest single speaker we saw at CES. Dennis wasn't impressed. He's imagining one twice the size, on ball-bearings, and with TV's embedded on each side.

DirecTV showed off some new system where you can watch multiple games at once and choose your camera angles. I don't know about you, but when I'm watching TV, the last thing I want to do is have to choose the best camera angle. I can barely scoop up salsa without dropping it before it reaches my mouth while watching TV, let alone coordinate optimal camera angles to appease everybody watching the game with me.

DirecTV claims this is their new HDTV digital video recorder, but I call it the "Yet Another TiVo Killer".
Speaking of which, I wish those at TiVo best of luck, because everybody who does anything with TV at CES, from Microsoft to the cable companies, all had their own version of what TiVo offers, and they all seemed to do just as good of job.
Except nobody had the Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down feature from TiVo, where you rate the shows you watch and TiVo suggests simular shows you might like. Does TiVo have a patent on that? Is it *that* hard to program?

Xantech is on a never-ending quest to save its *girlfriend*!
(Sorry, you have to have seen the first season of Drawn Together to get that.)

I got it.

A few of the bazillion Media Center PC cases available. I literally bought one the day after returning from Vegas.
While I think Windows Media Center computers need to be a lot less "computer" and a bit more "Media Center," it was the perfect thing to do with my old machine.

Another trend: 3D-TV.
Please.
Let.
This.
Trend.
Die.
While cool to look at for 4 or so seconds, anybody who stares at one of these "3D" screens for more than an hour at a time will surely suffer from their head exploding.
Case in point: Does anybody still own one of those "3D" posters that you had to stare at to see it in 3D? Cool trend, now lets move along. Just because you missed the HDTV bandwagon doesn't mean you need to start up the quasi-3D one.

See that thing under the corner of the chair? It's called a Buttkicker. It shakes your chair or couch like a very powerful sub woofer might, but many times over. I didn't get a chance to try it. Anybody want to say what they thought? Vibrating annoyance or cool feature?

This crappy photo is of the crappy both from Definitive Audio. I have to proudly show this one photo because I proudly sport Definitive speakers in my home setup (Theater A), and this is the only photo I took. Their booth was crappy because they set up this room with walls and it made it extremely hot in there. It also only had one entrance/exit which was always clogged.
Note to exhibitors: If you want people to see your stuff, don't hide it behind walls.
