Meta Coverage of CES2006




By John C. Dvorak

After last week's Consumer Electronics Show, it's apparent to me that Gary Shapiro, the head of the CES, needs to spin off the computer gear and do a show called CES Computers, or some other such thing.

Instead, I coded a CES metapage [www.dvorak.org/CES] for my blog that highlighted the best coverage by others.
