This month I've been testing: A small mountain of ergonomic keyboards. Some aren't especially ergo at all, whereas others sit in a specialised niche all to themselves. I really love the weird and wonderful ones, even if it does feel like learning how to type all over again.
I've been following the events of the CES since the mid-1990s and there's always something that stands out or sticks in your memory. Take the 2005 event, when Microsoft tried to demonstrate the full abilities of the Xbox 360 and failed rather miserably, or the 2011 one, where 3DTVs were being hyped as the future of entertainment. Yeah, kinda got that one wrong. For this year's event, the biggest thing that I noticed, other than AI being plastered onto absolutely everything, was the total lack of new gaming laptops using a discrete AMD Radeon chip. As in none, zip, zero, nada.
