Kara Visits CES: Diva Las Vegas!

So we arrived at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with Digital Daily’s John “Patches” Paczkowski yesterday from rain-sodden San Francisco, and launched right into gadgetmania.
While there does not seem to be much news or truly groundbreaking products as of yet out of anywhere–”It’s like no one has anything new, but we have [...]

Buh-Bye Bill: Tech’s Heart Will Go On

Lots of people were bellyaching about the lackluster nature of Bill Gates’s final performance at CES last night–long on deals and stats and short on the futuristic predictions Gates often makes.

Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski was unimpressed, as were Duncan Riley of TechCrunch and ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley, for example.
But, to my mind, giving the Microsoft [...]

Here’s Some Lovely Videos From Wall Street Journal Online and MarketWatch

Put your feet up and watch some dandy videos from WSJ Online and MarketWatch, our very nice relatives at Dow Jones (AllThingsD is the crazy cousin of this family and Rupe is our new parental unit).
First, Microsoft unveils newest Zune Media players, in attractive guano-green, as the clever Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski notes in [...]

Short People Got No Reason to Vlog?

Leave it to the freakishly tall Megan McCarthy of Valleywag to impugn our stature at BoomTown.

In her post late last week that I missed (I was traveling and therefore not aware of her cruel, cruel taunts), she pointed with dread to a recent promise I made to try out a new wearable camera I saw [...]

Day 2 at the TechCrunch40 Conference: More Video, More Snacks, Mint Guy

Our John Paczkowski of Digital Daily continued to brave the potential for falling ill from start-up fatigue from his hysterically funny live-blogging of Jason Calacanis’s and Michael Arrington’s TechCrunch40 conference, while BoomTown continued to wander the halls in search of snacks and a safe haven from PR minions.
To no avail, although we did have a [...]

BoomTown Went to the TechCrunch40 Conference and All You Get Is This Lousy Video

While we subjected our stalwart John Paczkowski of Digital Daily to the onerous and potentially mind-numbing task of live-blogging Jason Calacanis’s and Michael Arrington’s TechCrunch40 conference, BoomTown broke some news (on the Yahoo-Zimbra $350 million deal), wandered around and basically schmoozed.
In addition, cupcakes were had.
(The day also included a pricey payback lunch for a bet [...]

Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski Live-Blogs Using the iPhone and Survives

Our Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski live-blogged the Apple event yesterday, where much was announced, including the fact that we all paid too much for the iPhone when we rushed out to buy it earlier this summer.
Going forward, John will be doing a lot of live-blogging at various tech events, with the wit and sass [...]

Digital Daily Live Blogs at Apple Event! And More to Come, Like Rupe and MySpace Co-Founder at Web 2.0!

Our very own Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski–he of the arched eyebrow–did such a good job live-blogging our own fifth D: All Things Digital conference this year that we thought we would step up our game and send him out and about more often.

First stop, Apple’s special event today, starting at 10 a.m. PDT, at [...]

John Gets a Little Bit Too Racy With Video Gaming–and We’re Not Talking Grand Theft Auto

Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski makes a few obvious double entendres after being faced with a new gaming controller that looks a little suspect in his roundup of announcements in the video gaming industry during its annual E3 conference.
Here at AllThingsD.com, we try to pretend gaming devices do not look naughty.
John also posts on Google’s [...]

John Channels Carly Fiorina and It Ain’t Pretty

John Paczkowski reads a lovely selection from Carly Fiorina’s appalling memoir, “Tough Choices”, about her clearly hostile feelings for former Compaq head Michael Capellas. The screamingly unhappy merger partner of the former Hewlett Packard chief, Capellas was named today as transaction processor First Data’s new CEO, despite the fact that Fiorina tried to strike a [...]

John Will Not Be Buying a PlayStation 3, but Thanks for the Price Cut!

John covers the $100 price cut of Sony’s PlayStation 3 today here, which comes only days after the struggling electronics giant said it had “no immediate plans” to drop the price. But John’s still not opening his wallet (now empty from his iPhone purchase) until they throw in a George Foreman G5 Grill in Platinum [...]

Facing Down the Red Ring of Death

When Digital Daily’s John Paczkowski got word of Microsoft’s enormous repair bill for the faulty Xbox 360, he also discovered that the defect–the so-called red ring of death–may affect as many as a third or more of the video-game consoles, a fact the tech giant says will cause frustration for “some” of its customers.
