2012 International CES Opens Jan. 10
With the International Consumer Electronics Show 2012 just around the corner (Jan. 10 to Jan. 13), we here at J&R are like kids waiting for the candy store to open. This year’s show promises to be the biggest one yet.
CES has always been about looking forward. It has been about introducing us to the next great bit of technology that can enrich our lives and alter the way we experience the world. Like the Kindle Fire, which along with its siblings Kindle Touch and the basic Kindle, sold a million units a week during the month of December. This CES should be no different.
Could this be the Desk of the Future?
Okay so we spend copious amounts of time at our desks usually on Facebook or watching the latest video on YouTube. I was doing the latter when I came across the oddest of all items. It’s called the EXOdesk created by Canadian company EXOPC. I hopped on over to their website and took a look around. Currently this company makes two slates but the EXOdesk has to be seen to be believed. This 40-inch transparent HD touchscreen desk just might revolutionize the modern workspace. Take a look at the EXOdesk in this short video and try not to drool while you’re at it.
Apple Founder Steve Jobs: 1955 - 2011
The King of 21st Century Technology
The charismatic founder of Apple, an icon to generations of Apple fans has passed away, according to a release from Apple on Wednesday. Steve Jobs was a co-creator of one of the first personal computers. Jobs co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. He left eight years later, returning in 1996 to reinvigorate Apple and bring about a string of successful innovations, including the iMac personal computer, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. Steve Jobs was instrumental in making computers for the home and for enhanced mobility. A rare visionary has been lost but his gifts to business and humankind will live on.
