The CES 2013 keynote is about to start. I will be on the live blog providing some commentary and tweeting the news. And Shara Tibken will be on the ground in Vegas giving us all the juicy news. So stay tuned!

I'm helping cover the event remotely from the East coast. Still listening to some light jazz on the Webcast waiting for the big event to begin. Please feel free to send some comments and questions ahead of time. And we can get a conversation going before things kick off.

That's a good question. They're a chip company so I don't know if I'd categorize any of their product announcements as that exciting. That said, they are an incredibly important company. And as consumer products increasingly get connected to the Internet, they will continue to be more important to the industry.

It's a full house at this event. Maroon 5 will be playing, and there are likely going to be other special guests, as well.

Qualcomm is taking this keynote over for Microsoft, so I'm sure they don't want to disappoint us.

(Note - I think Nvidia would probably disagree with that. The graphics/mobile chip maker unveiled its own gaming tablet last night)

To top it off, our new GPU is incredibly efficient. Consumes about half the power of its predecessor. Game game more and recharge less.

It's about monsters coming out of the sea. And robots fight them.

Del Toro: When you're watching a great film, you want a great experience

Now showing some remastered footage of "dynamic visuals"

Some "compelling" visuals are coming our way. Hold onto your hats.

I'm sure it looks way cooler live than it does on my computer screen watching the Web cast.
