Not content enough to just play hero? Jasman Toys has come to the CES with weapons
toys in hand. Their Halo 3 Covenant Plasma Pistol and Rifle feature “laser pursuit” technology. We were scared just listing the description. In full size, the weapons vibrate, make noise, recoil, and flash their lights. If they overheat, they pop their flanges. How truly embarrassing for them. Both of them come with LCD screen counter to keep track of your kills. Pre-order at HotTopic.

CES 2008: iNo Names That Tune
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, CES, CES 2008, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Toys,
Although it has been out for awhile, this one of Sababa’s first public appearances to show off their iNo music trivia game. Compatible with all iPods except iPod shuffle and the 3rd generation nano, plop one in the interactive trivia game, and identify the tune, album, or artist. There are four wireless remotes to end the music and lock out the other players. The iNo comes with 50 action cards, so we are assuming that it just doesn’t play your tunes. That would be just wrong. The game requires 6 AA batteries (not included) at the post-holiday Target price of $35.99.

Speaking of Yoko, she will be at the CES promoting the the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. It is a not-for-profit mobile recording studio that allows kids to make some music and produce videos free of charge. There will be live events, aside from Ms. Ono, that will include the Black Eyed Peas and give-aways, so it has to be worth a peek. By the way, if you don’t make it there you can check the site which includes future appearances such as Macworld next week.

CES 2008: Celebs Make Token Appearances
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: CES, CES 2008, Editorial, Music,
So we are checking out the celeb appearances at the CES this year and we were wondering. Do true geeks watch football and want to catch an appearance by Daryl Johnston or Howie Long? Could they sit through an hour of Yoko Ono? Do they want to find out if Kevin Costner can actually sing? Do they dig that Mary J. Blige is more of a poet than an entertainer? And finally, will they respond to Peter Frampton now that he has no hair? We don’t know for sure, but their managers sure seemed to think so when they booked them.
