			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Consumer Electronics show kicked off yesterday in Los Angeles and with it comes a slew of product announements showcasing the latest in gadgetry. While loads of bloggers and journo&#8217;s clamouring to get the best and most inventive reviews first, here at The Processor we decided to root around and rummage for the top 5 crappy new gadgets.</p>
<p>So here you are, our top 5 shit-tech. Some serious, some not so, all up for discussion, feel free to post your own.</p>
<p><strong>1. Microsoft tablet</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://theprocessor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ballmer1.jpg" alt="" title="Steve Ballmer HP Slate Computer" width="546" height="330" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-424" /></p>
<p>Boooring, what is soo friggin exciting about a tablet PC running Windows 7. Microsoft, stop it, you are just embarasing yourself. Why not try and make a cool new product that really differentiates itself from the rest of the market, instead of half assed e-readers.</p>
<p>The most interesting thing about this fail is how they have managed to look shit in comparison to a company that was not even there, and next to a product that has not been launched yet, the Apple iSlate!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/jan/07/ballmer-ces-2010-keynote-microsoft">More here</a></p>
<p><strong>2. The Phubby (wrist-on)</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://theprocessor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/phubby1.jpg" alt="" title="Phubby phone holder" width="546" height="330" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-425" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a mobile phone holder for your&#8230; hand. And as an added feature, it also will make you  look like a total douche!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/crapgadget-ces-round-2-the-phubby-wrist-on/">Found here</a></p>
<p><strong>3. 152-inch Plasma TV</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://theprocessor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/plasma1.jpg" alt="" title="Panasonic 152-inch Plasma TV" width="546" height="278" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-426" /></p>
<p>As the world&#8217;s leading consumer electronics show it&#8217;s good to see the number of affordable televisions on show, like this 152-inch plasma TV. Panasonic have not released any information on pricing, but early calculations predict Slovenia. Yes, that&#8217;s right, we assume it will cost you about as much as it would cost to buy a former Soviet state.</p>

<p><strong>4. Ford In Car Twitter</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://theprocessor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ford1.jpg" alt="" title="Ford in car Tweeting" width="546" height="330" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-427" /></p>
<p>Really, you got something to twitter about while you are driving. Like, what, you&#8217;re driving. That is not interesting. This one goes in the file with internet fridge etc.</p>

<p><strong>5. Hannspree Polar Bear TV</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://theprocessor.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/polarBEar1.jpg" alt="" title="Hannspree Polar Bear TV" width="546" height="330" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-428" /></p>
<p>Ok, so this polar bear shaped TV is supposed to highlight the plight of polar bears in the face of global warming. Ooh the irony!</p>

<p>I am sure we will see more as the event goes on, but for now if you find any more please feel free to <a href="http://twitter.com/the_processor">Tweet</a> at us or post a comment below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well almost, the two have now entered into an agreement that sees MS take control over the search functionality and Yahoo content, creating a &#8220;stronger number two&#8221; *laughs then sighs*. You can see Steve &#8216;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE">Developers</a>&#8216; Ballmer <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2009/jul09/07-29release.mspx">here</a> giving us the down low on the situation.  If you are like me and the billions of people who use Google almost as if it is another limb and can&#8217;t really be bothered about the other search engines, I just can&#8217;t see it taking much of a dent out of Google&#8217;s dominance. Discuss.</p>
