Is Your Date A Dud?
The question- is your date a dud? Well, now, there’s an app for that! DateCheck, with the slogan “Lookup before you hookup,” takes the name of your date and a little other info and instantly runs a background check. We gave it a try during CES with a demo from the company behind it. Criminal history? It’ll tell you with its “Sleaze Factor” rating. Taxes he pays on his house? It’ll tell you. Number of bathrooms in his house? It can tell you. Is he already married? Yep, in fact it’ll tell you the name of the other person in the house. A free app, with free info, from the folks at Intelius. They’ve been allowing people to peer into our public records for years. So, of course, if you want to find out even more about your date the app will offer even more in-depth info for a fee.

Motorola BACKFLIP

Motorola has a hit with the DROID. At CES they introduced the BACKFLIP. That screen you’re looking at does NOT close like a cover over the keyboard. Instead it flips back. So, when closed, one side of your phone is a keyboard and the other side is a touchscreen with a soft More >

This is what you see all over CES. People wearing 3D shutter glasses, like these folks at Panasonic, staring at something on a screen that you just can’t appreciate, until you put on your 3D glasses.

What a great idea! It’s a laptop computer in which the screen portion comes out and becomes a tablet computer. It should be available by May and Lenovo is trying to keep the price of the IdeaPad U1 well below $1,000

OLED See Thru Display
What an amazing example of OLED and how thin it can be. With no back on this computer display, you can look right through. Samsung will be using it. I can see it as a vivid heads-up display.
