http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/01/500x_gaga.jpgDay... one(?) of CES wasn't the most eventful of convention days, but it did see two keynotes, one from Sony and one from Microsoft that were relevant to our interests. But, like this post, they were mostly off topic (http://kotaku.com/tag/offtopic/).
The PlayStation 3, PlayStation Network, Xbox 360 and Xbox Live got some attention at their respective showcases, but not as much as the rest of the stuff. Windows, slate PCs, Sony's 3D Bravias and the unusual Dash personal internet device dominated, much to the drowsiness of this editor. Anyone see non-gaming related things at CES this week that are now instant purchases?
And what's up with Polaroid and Lady Gaga? Feel free to discuss all these off topic things in the open thread below. And enjoy some off topic news from today!
Lady Gaga Named Creative Director for Specialty Line of Polaroid Imaging Products (http://www.virtualpressoffice.com/detail.do?contentId=227806&showId=53) - This makes sense.
How Visa, Using Card Fees, Dominates a Market (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/05/your-money/credit-and-debit-cards/05visa.html) - If you have a credit/debit card, this may be illuminating.
Warner Bros. new releases to stay off Netflix for 28 days (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2010/01/warner-bros-new-releases-to-stay-off-netflix-for-28-days.html) - Like I'm going to, what, buy a Warner Bros. DVD now?
The bizarre ex-Blink-182 frontman turned social networking pitchman, starring Vampire Weekend (http://www.kempa.com/2010/01/04/absolutely-surreal-excerpt-from-a-new-yorker-profile-of-vampire-weekend/) - Icky and weird.
Supernova Star Blast 'Could Wipe Out Earth' (http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/ST-Pyxidis-Supernova-Star-Blast-Could-Wipe-Out-Earth-Say-Astronomers-At-Villanova-University/Article/201001115515600?lpos=World_News_Carousel_Region_4&lid=ARTICLE_15515600_ST_Pyxidis_Supernova_Star_Bla st_Could_Wipe_Out_Earth_Say_Astronomers_At_Villano va_University) - Panic. Immediately.
HP's Windows 7 Slate Device Revealed by Steve Ballmer (http://gizmodo.com/5442200/hps-windows-7-slate-device-revealed-by-steve-ballmer) - One more Twilight reading option for the pile.
