CES features everything from expensive concept cars to new computing devices. While there is only a small amount of information available at this time, Canonical will have a presence at CES, and will be showing a "concept device" there.

From: Eric Wolf ------------------------------------------------------ My daughter has, once again, done in her Dell laptop. She's 1/2 through her senior year of high school, so I either need to help her get something for college or just buy something cheap to get her through the year. Like all kids nowadays, and especially the artsy types, she's entranced by All-Things-Apple. I would be happy to make the investment in a MacBook for her if I knew that she could walk into an Apple Store and just get it fixed. She's a bit accident-prone and has broken/lost/thrown across playgrounds more electronic gadgets than I can count. Extended-warranties are a money-losing proposition for anyone selling to her - if she actually took action on the broken device before it expired. Apple Stores are hip enough that I figure she just might take her broken stuff in if she had access. Alas, Chattanooga lacks an Apple Store. Are there any Apple repair shops in Chattanooga that come close to the Apple Store level of service? As an alternative, NewEgg.com has a refurb Lenova ThinkPad T60 for $225 that should be adequate to get her through the year. Chances are the ThinkPad my be tough enough to become her backup computer through college (when she breaks her Mac badly enough). Does anyone (Aaron) local to 'Nooga have a comparable deal? Lastly, anyone have experience with kingoflaptops.com? Their prices are just a little too good to be true and there are ZERO Google-able reviews of the company.

"We are pleased that the Senate stopped this dangerous resolution in its tracks," said Free Press Action Fund President and CEO Craig Aaron in a statement. "The Senate sent a strong signal today to would-be gatekeepers that the free and open Internet needs to stay that way.
