  Saturday 1 March 2003 – 06:00
  Toys are increasingly embracing electronics technology as semiconductors become cheaper and a lot smarter. While microprocessors played a very behind-the-scenes role at the International Toy Show, a wellspring of new electronic toys often gave the show a feel more like that of CES or Comdex.

Instead, what can Taiwan learn from Billy Gras apart from gratuitous pictures of Bill Gates, Serial ATA, USB 2.0, FireWire home networks, and the absurdity of using the word "innovation" over and over and over again.

  Though it's not normally a stop on my annual trade-show tour, I made my way to the CTIA Wireless 2004 show in the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta Georgia this week. Contrary to what you might think from its name, this show isn't devoted to 802.11 wireless data products, but instead to wireless in the larger sense of the word.

  Tuesday 11 May 2004 – 12:17
  Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but it seems that prospects are a little brighter for this year's networking confab in the hot and windy Nevada desert. It's not that the show is a lot bigger - there are about 350 or so exhibitors and they still fit comfortably into about half the LVCC's Central Hall.
