a continuation of this thread

who wants to meet? and stuff?

 

[UnderScore]

I may be going tommorow.
A good place to meet would be near a large exhibitor. Sony's was huge last year.

 

[Mday]

no, outside is better. inside is a mess.

sony's exhibit was huge... lots of digital cameras (still and video)

 

[tontod]

I might be going. How long does it last? And you need to register?

 

[Mday]

I was there from 3:45pm till 5:00pm. I didn't get too much stuff...the massager from Attachmate, a few mousepads, that's it. What did you get? (so I'll know what to look for if I go back Wed or Thurs)

 

[Mday]

i got nothing, i went to look =)

tomorrow = whore time

 

[Pretender]

wish I could go. don't have a pass, don't know what time it is, don't know where it is, and have some stuff to do tomorrow (not the entire afternoon, though).

Man I really must be getting jaded. I remember when I use to be a big kick out of new technology. These days it seems like the same old same old. I envy those who still get excited over stuff like that.

Was your new years resolution to piss in everyone's drinks, or to reform yourself? It's so hard to remember with your frequent mood swings...

There wasn't really too much new technology there. Just a bunch of companies that aren't doing too well and really really want you to buy their stuff right now! So basically if you go, you're going for the freebies....Which are terrible this year (compared to previous years, so I hear)...So it's not really worth it.

a short list of stuff at the expo (at least on the first day):

easy stuff:
omnisky --> white tee w/ short presentation on the compaq ipaq's
veritas --> fan w/ swipe
transmeta --> fan w/ short presentation
compaq --> eight-ball keychain w/ swipe
microsoft mobile experience --> white tee w/ looooooong presentation (1 hour!)

random stuff:
connectix --> rubik's cube thrown to 3 people for correct end-of-presentation q&amp;a
palm --> white tee thrown to 3 people w/ questions about the new m500/m505
attachmate --> white tee thrown to 3 people for correct q&amp;a
sceptre --> stuft animal thrown to 3 people for correct q&amp;a

notably absent this year:
intel --> last year, intel bunny man; this year, just an open space

here's a short article bemoaning
the lack of tchotchkies this year

i don't go for the free stuff. it's just junk for the most part.

anyway, it sucked this year more than last year. sure there were cool stuff, but much of the displays were OLD news...
