CES Registration Open – Register by Aug. 31 for free

[Suggest people register now and then if you don’t make it to the show, well then that is OK. Better than paying the $100 or $200 later and feeling like a chump for not registering now. Oh and add ‘Note to Self’ at the beginning of that sentence – as I am sure Neli is wagging a finger at me. :-)].

Funny. We are not supposed to call it the ‘Consumer Electronics Show’ anymore. Maybe Consumer Technology != Consumer Electronics?]
