A few Clarence Day ago , wewrote about hardwarethat “ demagnetize vinyl group and cds ” to make them vocalise better . dead crap , but the surprise was that CES had devote it an accolade . What does a CES Award mean ?

Just as we were wondering that , Chris Null over at Yahoo Tech write about a 2005 winner that does n’t even subsist .
The “ Atom Chip ” laptop allegedly featured several TB of “ quantum RAM ” and a 6.8GHz “ quantum CPU . ” None of that clobber actually survive … One would especially expect CES ’s panel of expert to know the difference between reality and utter B.S. As an aside , I actually went calculate for booth 36604 myself , which look not to exist at all . I have in mind , if a completely made - up product can win an award , you have to wonder …
This morning , I get an unrelated email fromSean Captain , one of the most knowledgeable freelancers around , enquire about all the press releases flying into his inbox with the title that sure gadgets are CES “ Honorees . ”
obviously , the CES accolade are chosen with only a company - submitted doc and a photo . And the fee for applying can be up to $ 970 . Furthermore , anyone who submits an practical software can be called an honoree . So , the bottom melodic phrase is that the CES Awards are pick out by people who do n’t be intimate tech , and the honoree tag is a crowd of bullshit . Be leery as you buy . The CEA CES awards have formally been taken down a snick .
