In probably the only time the vast majority of people going to Vegas aren't going there to gamble, the International Consumer Electronics Show will be hosting approximately 150,000 people.  The show hasn't even started and people are chatting about what may or may not be there.

I'm in Vegas until Saturday afternoon, if anyone wants to get together, please give me a call at +1 217 390 4444 or e-mail matthew (then type the at $ymbol) liveside.net

PS--One important tip for the new attendees of CES: don't miss your flight.  I made that mistake last year when the entire world is trying to get to Vegas at the same time and I flew stand-by for 24-hours before catching a flight after making it to American Airlines' hub of Dallas.  It was certainly an adventure, but unfortunately I missed Gates' keynote.
