Exclusive: CBS forced CNET staff to recast vote after Hopper won ‘Best in Show’ at CES
The Dish Network’s Hopper wasn’t simply in the running: it had actually taken the top prize

Nothing says good news like your corporate mothership raining down upon you and ordering that you essentially be dishonest and not be able to give a product an award which it likely deserved.

Part of me thinking about the new phone I plan to get. I miss my home in Windows Phone and how that OS was a bit more subdued compared to everything else out there. Hoping it should help quench my frantic mindset I’ve had for awhile.

~~Then again, maybe it won’t~~.

iPad mini [insert non-iPhone here] = a potent combo

Chris Ziegler in the Verge forums:

Enter the iPad mini. It’s my rock, my constant. I now know I’ve always got iOS nearby in case I stumble on an exciting new app or a game all my friends are playing, which is having a surprising impact on my stress level. I no longer feel bad about not having an iPhone from time to time.

This may be me next year between my Nexus 7 and a Windows Phone device.

95? I thought this was a 98 Plus wallpaper. Either way, oh the memories.

Microsoft Surface RT Priced: 32GB For $499 Without Touch Cover, $599 With; 64GB For $699

parislemon:

…I do find it a little odd just how much Microsoft is playing up the Touch Cover.…

Why? In a market full of generic screen tablets Microsoft has to push one of the few differentiators that exist in the product, namely the Touch Cover, which is easily visible to any consumer over talking about materials of the device or the OS. It provides them an angle of making this a productivity device, as well as a tablet, not just a tablet.

Also, how much did Apple push the Smart Cover? Not this much, but how much?
