Computex 2008: We are on location

Darksaber · Jun 2, 2008

The biggest asian IT show is about to kick off, here in Taipeh, in less than 24 hours. We are on location once more, to bring you the latest and greatest the industry has to offer. Instead of writing seperate articles on each manufacturer, we will present you the newest and most interesting in form of news posts like this one. This means that we should be able to publish news faster and the review bar up top is not cluttered with articles. As you can see, we also added a Computex logo to this news post. Simply clicking on it, will display a link of the most recent entries in this category.

Great stuff! Looking forward to news, pictures and BENCHMARKS.

And good luck with the earthquakes. I heard Taiwan got hit at the weekend.

Oh yes, and the infamous TPU thread with pictures of the promo-girls. Did you bring TPU t-shirts for them to wear?

Well, no earthquakes here atm...let's hope it stays this way.

As for the girls, we will post a seperate article for them, just as we do every year ^^. We just have to check if there are enough of them to make it worth while.

cheers

Have as many companies as possible, and remember to bring 10 sets of spare batteries for the camera!

Well things changed around here. The previous (old) hall is filled exclusively with companies we are not really interested in. Only Enermax, AirLive and QNAP are there as far as we have seen. The rest of the interesting stuff is in a HUGE new hall

cheers

DS, you do realize that you may very well have one of the best jobs in the world? I've got a tech boner just thinking about the vast expanse of joyful bliss you're wading through. Make us proud sir!
