Consumer Electronics Show 2006
Jan 09
Today I woke up to a beautiful snow covered view outside my bedroom window. The pine trees where coated with fresh fluffy snow. On my way to work Howard Street is once again something to look twice at with the maple trees drooped and covered in a fresh coating snow. I am really excited after reading a bunch of reviews on CES 2006. I really love new technology, hardware, software and games. I recently finished upgrading the back-end for this blog, my clients and my forum message boards and had a good time doing it. I enjoy reading and experimenting with the new features, enjoying looking at the new coding also goes along with that excitement.
Some of the articles I read from CES 2006 is the upcoming Western Digital Rapter - X. I’m really impressed with its specifications. It has a hefty price of $350, something I would not spend on a hard drive for what I do. Another interesting yet discouraging topic at CES was the BluRay vs. HD-DVD war. I really hope that the new HD format for media settles soon because the consumer is going to lose. Who wants to purchase two DVD players to watch a certain movie? I know I don’t. All I know is that I am happy with what I have now, though I must admit I’m a little worried for the future of HD media. I’ll probably end up re-purchasing some of my movie titles in HD.
