The404 gives a shoutout to channelAPA

We met up with the crew over at The404 from CNET at CES. From left to right in the picture above, it’s Justin Yu, Jeff Bakalar, and Wilson Tang. These guys are hilarious. Listen to one of their podcasts and you’ll be addicted unless you are over 40 years old at CES. Today, they gave us a shoutout on their podcast.

Jeff – we love you even though you’re not Asian American

Wilson – we’re just trying to get some good video footage of you guys

Justin – thanks for the support – Asian Renaissance 2009!

Anywayz, when we met up with them, we told them that they should have a video podcast. We found out that the have a budget of zero to do the404 podcast, but they have a good base of listeners. (Apparently CES listens to them too, the day after one of their podcasts the show floor tape was changed from 2008 to 2009.) If you listen to the404, email the CNET editors and ask them to give the404 a video podcast or at least a budget.

The 404 with guest Brian Tong covers CES 2009



Justin Yu and Wilson Tang on The 404 have special guest Brian Tong to talk about CES 2009 including the CNET Party, technology and Obama, sexy press releases, the worst of CES.

Here’s some of the top worst experiences at CES:

Justin Yu – lines and smells in the men’s bathroom

Brian Tong – people asking to get introduced to Natali Del Conti, 2008 floor tape at CES 2009 (The 404 wields a lot of power at CES. The day after the podcast all the floor tape was altered to be 2009. See below.)
.
Wilson Tang – staring at a screen for 12 hours straight

Other bad experiences – crying babies at CES

The day of the 404 broadcast the CES 2009 show floor had 2008 floor tape

The day after The 404 podcast the show floor had a major change. 2009 labels we placed over the 2008 floor tape to change the year to 2009. Brian Tong visits the show floor the next day.

Vivienne Tam HP Mini at CES 2009

We have posted several times on The HP Vivienne Tam ( Fashion Designer Vivienne Tam’s HP Laptop, HP Mini Vivienne Tam Digital Clutch, and HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition now shipping). We got a chance to see the digital clutch at CES and asked HP’s Joydeep Bhattachurya to talk about the key features. We found out that the Vivienne Tam HP Mini will come with matching mouse, digital silk clutch and matching scarf.
