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.

Justin Yu and Wilson Tang from The 404 at CES 2009 Opening Day

Two of the three guys that make up CNET’s podcast “The 404” are Asian Americans. If you are at CES you can see hosts Justin Yu and Wilson Tang at the CNET booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

On the first official day of the CES show in Las Vegas, the guys of The 404 give their take on what they see on the floor of CES, their take on some product announcements, the Adult Video conference and more.

CNET should get these guys a video podcast rather than the audio only podcast they normally have. If you want to subscribe to The 404 podcast, click one of the following:
