CES 2007: The unusual stuff.

Las Vegas (NV) - Some people take CES all too seriously. There are lots of vendors at the show who know how to have a little fun and still make a dollar. We have picked three examples. The folks from BadDog Tools demonstrate and sell their tools right on the CES show floor. Of the three BadDog reps in the booth, this gentleman had the most energetic pitch and as you can see he really got into drilling through all those two-by-fours. From Dream comes this dreamy AM/FM radio with iPod dock. At first we thought those four salt and pepper shaker like thingies were, well, salt and pepper shakers. Nope. They"re actually tubes that glow in colors that match the color scheme of each radio. We"re not sure if Atech Flash Technology is simply fulfilling a need or slyly commenting on iPods or even the music that most people play on them. This is about the most unusual product we saw at CES. Look for this one at www.atechflash.com. It"s called iCarta.

New Google search tool will peer into proprietary relational databases.
Mountain View (CA) - If Google had access to a rewind button for time itself - a feature which might no longer seem so far-fetched for the company to be actually working on - it could conceivably have chosen to name itself "OneBox." The brand refers to the company"s philosophy of organically developing more and more services that revolve around responding to whatever the user types into that one box, so that the response is more meaningful. This morning, the concept took a major step forward, with the integration into Google"s existing line of Search Appliance hardware of functionality that peers into proprietary formats of corporate databases, such as Oracle and SAS.
