MoreCES: Tech industry plays catch-up with Apple – again
I’m in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show, the massive tech-fest that usually sets the tone for the year ahead in the world of technology and consumer electronics. Well, that’s how it used to be at CES, which this year will attract in excess of 120,000 visitors to Sin City. In recent years, the […]
