Picturing CES, continued

January 13th, 2008 by Doc Searls

Linux wasn't everywhere at CES, but it was close, making it impossible to see Everything with Linux in it. But we tried.

The result, so far, is a 218-shot CES2008 Photoset at the (Linux-hosted) Linux Journal Flickr site.

You can find my current rough-draft CES report in the captions for those pictures. The geeky section begins here, and the new pictures I put up last night and this morning begin here. The most thickly represented booths among these are Intel's and Bug Labs'. Intel gets props for filling their Mobility booth with lots of gear running Linux. Bug Labs was just one of the hottest companies at the show, and provided lots of fodder for future Linux Journal coverage.

Read more at the links above, until I get around to summarizing the whole thing here.

And feel free to offer corrections, links and leads to deeper information in the comments section under each photo and caption.

By the way, if you run the whole set in slideshow mode, and click on the "i" in the middle of the shot, you'll see the captions as the show rolls through the pictures.

There's nuttin like a Cool Project to give you some relief from the summer heat, so get out your parka cuz we got a bunch of em. First up is the BUG, not a bug, The BUG. It's got a GPS, camera and more, in a hand-sized package that's user programmable. The BUG does everything. It's both a floor wax and a dessert topping. Get one now. Need a software version of a Swiss Army knife? Take a look at Billix, and don't leave home without it. Then, chew on this one, an X server on a Gumstix device driving an E-Ink display. Need more storage? How about 16 Terabytes? Can do.

And, of course, we have the usual cast of characters: Marcel, Reuven, Dave, Kyle, Doc, plus the new kid on the block Shawn Powers. But it doesn't stop there: build a MythTV box on a budget, build your own GIS system, set up the tools to monitor your enterprise and more. Finally, remember The War of the Worlds? Now you can play too.
