We're headed back once again in beautiful Las Vegas for the 2012 International CES. (That's Consumer Electronics Show for you noobs.) It's an insane amount of all things tech, from phones, to TVs to cars to tablets to -- well, just about anything you can think of, and a number of things that defy logic.
Some CES basics:
- CES doesn't officially start until Tuesday, Jan. 10. That's when the show floors open.
- But Monday, Jan. 9, is Media Day. Press conference after press conference. It's a little insane, actually.
- And stuff's actually going down on Sunday, too. Le sigh.
- Unlike years past, the Adult Entertainment Expo isn't taking place at the same time, adjacent to some of the same venues. There shall be no (or at least not quite as much) accidental mixing of nerds and nipples. (We can't be held responsible for what happens in Vegas after hours, though.)
- We're going to have more liveblogs than you'll be able to follow. It'll be epic.
