CES 2008: WOLFKING reveals MVP series Gamepad and mouse
You can’t argue with a company called WOLFKING. And if you did, your arguments would be rendered utterly pathetic by the overpowering strength of all those caps.

CES 2008: ZyXEL debuts first digital media adapter with built-in HomePlug AV
While WiFi is great for a lot of things, but there are instances where it isn’t the best solution for home networking. Perhaps you live in a palatial mansion that outstrips the range of ordinary WiFi technology, or maybe you live in a drafty Scottish castle with five foot thick walls that completely blocks all your signals. Or maybe every other sod in the near vicinity already has a WiFi router clogging up the airwaves. Whatever. There’s a way around it that works really well called HomePlug AV, which uses your mains sockets to carry your network. The trouble so far has been that you always have to buy a costly set of HomePlug AV adapters – one for each of the devices you want to plug in and one to plug into your router / hub.

It was originally – and to a large extent still is – a kind of reverse Slingbox; it takes web content and shows it on your TV (instead of taking content from your TV and transmitting it to your PC).

CES 2008: Sandio 3D mouse demonstrates why mice need even more buttons now
You know what’s wrong with control pads and mouse and keyboard control styles? They need two hands. That’s just wasteful. Especially if you can get full 3D controls with just one device. That’s what Sandio believes and they have come up with the mouse to prove it: the Sandio 3D game O2
