"The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a major technology-related trade show held each January"
With an annual revenue of $69+ billion, I would say that they are mighty successful on their own.
inb4 this was obvious sarcasminb4 Doomsday 2012
For the love of God the world won't end next year, only the Mayan calendar just ends in 2012 and Sir Issac Newton already said the world will end in 2060, we have a little over 48 years to live.
Yup, that's what's going to happen. Don't really mind it + from a business perspective, I think that's beneficial for them. On CES there are hundreds/thousands of products shown, it's very easy to see your product get lost, and not getting the attention it deserves.
How could MS or Apple own my soul if I'm using Linux on my PCs or Android on my phone/tablet/MP3 player?
