CES 2007: ASUS U1
Isn’t it annoying when you take you laptop outside to your favourite sun lounger so you can soak up some rays while you work, only to have the bright sunlight render the contents of your screen almost invisible? Well…

CES 2007: Blade Runner 4 remote-controlled indoor helicopter
If you’re going to have an RC copter, it may as well be bright yellow. At least your cat will see it coming and have a fighting chance of getting out of the way. See, it’s an indoor helicopter, which…
CES 2007: CyberLink MagicSports 3 DVR sports analysis

CES 2007: Recycled circuit-board bookmark
