Monki delivers us up the pictures from CES! Toshiba, Sony, new Coke bottles, super thin TVs, super big TVs and much more!!!
Greetings humans, Monki here live in Vegas with a better look at CES 2009. You asked for it, and you shall get it. Pictures!
I spent another day wandering around the massive convention halls of the Las Vegas Convention Center and I even spent some time at the Sands/Venetian Expo taking a look at some more cool technologies over there. I also had a chance to talk with a guy working on Halo Wars, the new RTS Halo title coming soon. I'll get that to you folks soon as well. Enough talk, lets look at some pretty images.
I had mentioned the incredible size of Panasonic's booth, this picture barely conveys that size.
You can't even really see the end of it all. They do have one cool display of "exploded" cameras too.
Panasonic is also showing off probably the thinnest television at CES. That little sliver you see just right of center is the side view of the television on the left. One-third of an inch. Jesus.
Just near Panasonic is the Casio booth. And to think I thought Casio just made cheap watches. They even have a cheerleading squad. (Sorry for the lack of that photo.)
Everywhere you look you see massive HD screens. This guy was near the NBC Universal booth. Nothing special, just a massive fucking television.
Over at the Toshiba booth they were showing off their new violin players. I think they are releasing these models around March.
Samsung brought it with a huge suspended television wall that looks cool as hell in motion.
Microsoft is here trying to convince more people to switch to Vista and showing off some new technologies as well as a couple of early peeks at a couple of games.
This. Is. Jeopardy.
Samsung also had a new Coke machine set up. The woman there described it as "a digital media interface and a vending machine." Like chocolate and mayonnaise. The entire front is a touch screen and is capable of full video and all kinds of other stuff. Oh, and apparently the cans this thing spits out out are brand new aluminum Coke bottles that aren't out yet. Neato.
Roland, the music-machine guys had the "world's fastest drummer" showing off some cool digital drums. This guy makes Animal drool.
Anyway, these are just a few images of neat things I saw. But I know what you guys want. If you ask really nice I'll share some from a different convention I visited while I had the chance.
Until next time, back up the tree I go!

How can I tell if there's a rat in the bottle?
-
whoo
-
There is ALWAYS a rat in the bottle.
-
wtf.
-
Does an aluminium bottle cause more or less damage on someone elses head? Is this just a usual soda can in bottle form or are we talking about coke bottles that you can build your own mountain bike of?
-
...now this atrocity from Coke. When will it end?
-
Is just asking to be vandalized/destroyed.
-
and still no flying cars??
-
give up
-
We need transparent aluminum now!!!
Come on! If Scotty could use the technology in 1987, we can do it now!
Let's go, people!!!!! -
That guy has massive hands or that coke bottle is effin tiny!

'..a digital media interface and a vending machine' until some little goon comes along and smashes the screen after it has been there about an hour. Or does that only happen here in the UK? Would that Coke machine last more than 5 minutes anywhere in the U.S?
The sheer number of TVs here, they could quite easily just give them away. Or even just 1 of them, to me. -
There is a camera phone picture sharing site I use that has someone who took like 150 shots of all the sweet shit at CES.

I love gadgets and technology, and would be a tech freak if I had any money. unfortunately, I would never live it down for being a geek if I did, it is on the other side of the world and again, I have no money.
-
a BIG FUCK YOU!!! Mori left this site because of you.
-
How was Monki involved? I have totally missed the whole story. Does anyone have the skinny to post here?
-
and that linebacker tranny playing the violin is lulz.
-
Combine the CES and the porn expo and deliver us some lifelike FuckBots. That will cure the economy and provide millions of jobs.
Hmmm, on second thought, we might all stay home enjoying our new toys and the economy will suffer further. Nevermind... -
...ScriptGirl, Herc's "Top Story" about the Sarah Palin porn and the talkbackers annoyed the shit out of him these days?
-
why are you such an asshole?
-
Otherwise his name would be "van I got nothing to complain about".
-
Damn youse, Monki!
-
... he's right, too! Damn youse, Script Girl and Herc and some other stuff!
-
haha funny name, i guess the guy who directed pulled a john travolta's son and is no longer with usRIP
-
A Decker Hydrator could be useful, though. Or it could poison your food and kill you, like microwaves.
-
...I read this page just since 2003, but you seemed to be a lot angrier at many things on AICN in the last 2/3 of 2008 than usual. And when I heard they you were going to another site, I wasn't really surprised.
-
I'm German, it's past midnight and I got a flu. Ignore the bad grammar and just try to figure out what I wanted to say. *cough*
-
That Watchmen trailers been playing all day during the football games, and it's real telling how they're totally selling this as a big superhero action flick. Because whatever you feel about squidlessness, casting, or the legal troubles, it's tough to make a real argument about Watchmen being primarily action. The tone of the book has always struck me as rather light on action.

aren't new. Aluminum were tested in several markets the last several years. Nothing spectacular.
-
that coke and pepsi make the kind of money they do to create products like like, by selling water and sugar...just amazing what you can convince people to buy with enough advertising
-
Water and sugar are two of my favorite things!
-
because he was fired.
-
For real, man. You were my favorite contributor on the site. ScriptGirl does, in fact, suck. Herc...sorta. Monki...don't know anything about him.
-
i sent in the info to you folks but i see no article alas. guess no one here gives a shit about b-movies.
-
...this year's CES (and Macworld too) have been pretty lame.
-
One-third of an inch? Bah! OLEDs have that beat: In October 2008, Samsung showcased the world's thinnest OLED display, also the first to be 'flappable' and bendable. It measures just 0.05mm (thinner than paper), yet a Samsung staff member said that it is "technically possible to make the panel thinner".
Now technically this is just a display and not the whole TV, but TVs are just glorified displays these days anyway so there ya go. -
pics of products, instead of booths or soda bottles! Does this moron know the purpose of CES? It doesn't stand for Consumer Encapsulations of Soda!

Sorry but this is a lousy report. Monkey see, monkey do. If we accept that tech stuff is for a movie site then it should have been better, not a few blurry pictures, but good descriptions and comparisons of new stuff.
For tech I go to Tech TV and watch that hottie pottymouth Olivia Munn. -
Except for that Coke. Which looks like it could be drunk in two sips.
-
Only a few more hurdles to overcome.
Best of all the MFG process promises to be much cheaper in the long run...as they are basically, in simplified terminology, applied to the substrate by an inkjet. You can potentially fold it, roll it, glue it to the wall....imagine a display the size of your wall folks, or your entire ceiling as a light source...thats what OLEDS promise. -
Bring back friggin GLASS BOTTLES! Easily recyclable...and the best insulator there is. When I was a kid..your Coke stayed cold for an hour...now...it is warm by the time you pay for it..Plastic sucks..Aluminum isn't far behind in the sucking.
-
ya know..a country full of civilized people, who know not to fuck with other peoples property. Put that thing up here, and I guarantee some punk will hack it to broadcast porn 30 minutes after they install it.
-
So you can basically "paint" your wall with them. Once the cost comes down on those babies it's one step closer to flying car & jet pack time.
-
porn star Jenna Haze is in Crank 2, you can use that to legitimize the value of that report being on AICN.
-
for what, the better part of a decade now? Just cut the crap and let us know when it comes affordably at a decent size. And this quest for the thinnest display is absolutely meaningless to most people, who don't hang them on the wall.
-
"monki" has been taken from me
-
Now when I just want a Coke I'll have to wait in line because some jackass will want to download some stupid Coke content from the Machine. Lame

don't those foldable samsung screens wear out real quick?
by ironic_name
-
so we can all buy all these toys! I'm so proud to be American!
-
I don't think the average American can afford to use a Coke machine THAT fancy.
-
Or someone will try to order/download porn off of it or it will get smashed by some punk kids, and by the way aluminum bottles?!?! Why the switch from plastic? Trying to go green? If that was the case just go back to glass bottles.
-
I don't think I could've learned any less from a post than this one. THESE were the best pictures you could come up with?
-
I need one entire wall of my house transformed into a giant TV screen.
-
Or maybe several screens, like in the Dark Knight. A wall of little blue screens that tells me where everybody is. Yessss....
-
You see coke machines like this, and you have to ask: where are the fucking flying cars? At least that's my question.
-
Toshiba could've sprung for hotter violin players.
-
does this mean we're going back to old bottle caps, too?
-
how many more times do I post before SG gets bumped off the top talkbacks?
-
how man more times do I post before SG gets bumped off the top talkbacks?
-
those fuckers got a lot of balls asking the government for a handjob..er i meant handout.(As in bailout.)Are they trying to fuck us taxpayers or what?What dicks they are if they can suck money from us.Jizzbags.

so....
