The U.S. Senate conducted a key vote last night that could put a dent in “showrooming” in specialty retail stores. The U.S. Senate voted 74-20 to bring to the floor The Marketplace Fairness Act, S. 743, that will require online-only retailers to remit state sales taxes. Similar legislation is pending in the U.S. House of Representatives. [Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly indicated that the Senate had passed the legislation.] The Marketplace Fairness Act, S. 743, would provide states with the authority—if they choose—to obligate large online-only… View this story

CES 2012 drew a record-setting 153,000 attendees in more than 1.8 million square feet of exhibit space inside the Las Vegas Convention Center. Clearly, it's a popular show. But CES is not high on my lists of favorite trade shows because of the many logistical obstacles the event presents for members of the press in a three- or four-day stretch. I was happy to see some very exciting products from an optimistic group of exhibitors. And If their optimism is an indication of how the electronics industry will fare in… View this story

The best Ultrabooks, coolest phones, smartest TVs and most necessary accessories of CES 2012 have all received their due. But wait, there's more. Sometimes we get so caught up in the traditionally earth-shattering innovations at CES, we forget the little things - like the smallest CEA lounge ever, the best technology for Apple (if only they'd adopt it), the worst booth babe and other dubious achievements. Here we round up some of the more peculiar products and pitches, as well as some of the more pleasant surprises. Click here to… View this story

While CES always promises to be a tradeshow featuring some of the latest innovations, there are a couple of things you can always expect to see while at the show in Las Vegas. CES is never without two things, for example, the adult expo area and the "weird stuff." AVN and CES parted ways this year, so there will be no photos or commentary on the more "revealing" side of the show. I'll have to settle for showing you some of the items that left me scratching my head and… View this story

As a guest blogger for CE Pro, I arrived in Las Vegas for CES with two priorities in mind: 1. Get my press badge 2. Make it to the Venetian as fast as possible listen to some music systems. Last year, the venue was full of manufacturers who took over several floors and outfitted suites with awesome demonstrations, so I knew it was a must-see. After proving I was a legitimate press person by showing the registration person my "5 Trends to Watch at CES 2012" on my iPhone, I… View this story

Click here for 5 Trends to Watch at CES 2012. If you're… View this story
