2011 Electronics Consumer Electronics Show Top Products

In 2011 Electronics Consumer Electronics Show more companies shows the progress in 3D TVs. Companies like Motorola and RIM also showcased their entries into the suddenly crowded tablet market (over 100 new models on display this year).

Here are the top products for 2011

·        3DTV -The good news is that competition breeds discounts and more 3DTVs on the market means cheaper 3DTVs if you're in that particular market.

·        Tablet -More tablets also means more choice - you're not locked into Apple and the App Store, or into a picture of a Lego piece where a Flash video should appear when you're surfing the Web.

·        The electric Ford Focus - People like Ford a lot right now. Dependable and affordable, with lots of choice and decent looks if you care about that sort of thing. While the company's Focus is hugely popular, Ford dropped into CES to show off a new all-electric Focus that should be available in 2012. The car will feature Microsoft's MyFord Touch system, which is insanely popular, and the ability to recharge in four short hours - almost twice as fast as the Nissan Leaf or GM Volt, whit a charger that costs 75 per cent as much. No official range yet, but here's hoping it's built for the long haul.

·        Microsoft Windows 8 - Microsoft's follow-up to the popular Windows 7 operating system is still over a year away from the market, but a version on display at CES turned a lot of heads. One reason is the announcement that Microsoft will release a version for ARM processors - a system-on-a-chip approach that combines processor, memory and graphics on a single low power, low heat and integrated chip. Basically, this gives you the ability to run Windows 8 and any software it supports, on a phone, tablet or other device, providing there's enough memory for it. Given the pace of technology, that probably won't be an issue.

·        The Chumby 8 - The Chumby has a lot of fans, replacing your alarm clock/kitchen clock with a small touch computer that can stream music, give you news, weather, and other information through RSS feeds, lets you check in with social networking sites and more. It's not a computer, but it lets you access all kinds of web content in a simple, affordable way.

·        Nvidia/Lenovo screens - Lenovo and Nvidia teamed up to create a line of stereoscopic 3D computer screens for 3D computer gaming, with built in graphics processors and HD. To go with it, they also assembled a 3D gaming desktop tower to power that 3D experience.

·        Android 3 - I've seen a lot of Android phones and devices by now, and all I can say is that the experience differs wildly from gadget to gadget. There are literally a dozen versions of it out there, many overlaid with an interface designed by whatever company is selling the phone/tablet/etc. A Sony Xperia looks different from an HTC Droid, for example. At CES, Google showed off Android 3, which could cut through the mess and reunify the Android experience for millions of users.

·        The Nike+ SportWatch - A watch with built-in GPS to track you while you run, and will also track your data - bugging you when you forget to run and encouraging you to run faster.

·        Samsung's 9 Series Laptops - A PC competitor to Apple's MacBook Air is thinner, lighter and arguably more powerful as well. It's also more expensive, but if you're dropping $1,400 on a laptop these days what's an extra $200?

·        Spot Connect - This product will be of interest to Whistler's backcountry crowd, turning any smartphone into a satellite phone with GPS capability. The cost is $170, plus you'll need to spend around $100 a year for a satellite subscription, but it could save your life. And you won't have to carry around three devices (phone, satellite phone and GPS) any longer.

·        Oxygen Audio - While a lot of cars have docks and connectors for iPhones, Oxygen Audio's O'Car deck lets your iPhone or iPod become your stereo. For $350, you can use your phone interface to access music, control volume, navigate by GPS, call hands-free or using a Bluetooth headset and more.

·        For me, the best part about CES is the surprises. Blu-ray made its first appearance at CES, as did HD plasma televisions and 3DTVs. Intel unveiled its i7 and i3 chips at CES. Microsoft showed off the original Xbox. Harmonix showed off Guitar Hero for the first time

2011 Coolest and Best Nail Polish Trends

2011 Coolest and Best Nail Polish Trends

What do pastels, metallic grays, and sleek nudes have in common? They're all part of the gorgeous and utterly fresh 2011 nailpolish trends. Shades typically lighten up each spring, but instead of going sheer, this year's crop of pastels stays rich and creamy--think smooth purples, bright blues, and yummy peach-tinged pinks. Plus, the nude lacquers spotted at a plethora of spring shows (like Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, and Yigal Azrouel) are having their moment, and those looking for punched up hits of color won't be disappointed either: Bright, bold lacquers are making an appearance, and some optically intriguing shades of gun metal are popping up, too. So, get ready to totally transform your digits in 2011 with our ultimate guide to spring nail polishes—talk about a cheap thrill!

1.Back to Nature Nudes—Nude-as-naked nails look refreshingly demure, yet provocative. Make sure your polish comes in a high-gloss formula so you don't end up looking like you have mannequin hands. Ends

2.The Blues Clues—whether it's Robin's Egg or Tiffany's Box, this pale blue shade has got "Spring" written all over it.

3- Peachy-Keen Pink—Need a polish that'll make your tan shine? This is it, ladies.





4. Lovely in Lavender—Purple nails are our secret weapon. Dusty purples, saturated lavenders, and shiny heliotropes look great with most skin tones.

5.Gun-Metal Grays—Don't forget about those metallics! Give your digits the full metal treatment with pearlescent polishes. The future is now!



6. The Can't-Miss Topcoats—Give your polish an extra edge with a striking top coat that cracks over your color; one that adds a slick, holographic shimmer; or one that adds a gilded layer of nude shimmer.

TV Shows To watch in 2011 Part 2

This is the 2nd Part Of TV shows of 2011.

30 Rock

 

I love Tina Fey. And as long as “30 Rock” remains on the air, Thursdays will be filled with joy. Thank you, NBC, for your gift to comedy. The show will be returning on January 20th but moved to 10/9c. Get psyched.

Bob’s Burgers

Fox is also introducing a new animated comedy called “Bob’s Burgers” from creator Loren Bouchard (“Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist”) about a family and their floundering burger joint. It looks legitimately funny and what else are you watching on Sunday night? The show will premiere on Sunday, January 9th at 8:30 p.m.

The Cape

NBC is trying something new with the one-hour drama “The Cape,” which follows Vince Farrasay (David Lyons) who was an honest cop on a corrupt police force. He got framed for a series of murders and was presumed dead but instead goes into hiding. He wants his family back, so with the help from some awesome Carnies, he becomes his son’s favorite comic book hero—“The Cape”—and takes the law into his own hands. The show will premiere with a 2-hour episode on Sunday, January 9th at 9 p.m. ET on NBC and then will resume at its regular time slot on Monday, January 17th at 9 p.m.

Glee

Obviously, we’re always excited about Fox’s “Glee,” but now we’ve got to wait until Tuesday, April 13th at 9 p.m. ET to see it! To hold you over, here’s Kurt and Blaine singing “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”.

Love Bites

In Love Bites fAnnie (Becki Newton from “Ugly Betty”) and Frannie (Jordana Spiro from “My Boys”) as the last two single ladies in their group of friends. Other romantically challenged characters will come and go each week, including guests like Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jason Lewis, Lindsay Price, Charlyne Yi and others. “Love Bites” got pushed back from the fall, and there is no set premiere date yet, which is way lame.

2011 Best TV Shows to Watch-Part 1

Here are some best tv shows we all will watch in 2011:

Perfect Couples

Some of them are oldies but goodies, but most of them are brand-new! It’s always important to have something to look forward to and, personally, I’m really excited for NBC’s new show “Perfect Couples,” which stars Olivia Munn and a bunch of familiar-looking actors. The show follows three very different couples as they figure out how to maneuver their relationships while trying not to kill each other. There’s a sneak preview of the series on December 20th at 10:30 p.m. on NBC and then it will be back on January 20th for an 8:30 pm time slot in that already amazing NBC Thursday lineup

Happy Endings

This show follows a group of friends who’re stuck in the middle of one couple, Dave and Alex (Elisha Cuthbert), who’ve just had a brutal left-at-the-altar breakup. It’s relatable, and unlike a bunch of the new shows, it’s not about happy couples; it’s about an old group of friends who’ve lost their center and have to negotiate their new dynamic instead of parting ways because they’re right, how the hell are you supposed to make friends at this age? Too bad it doesn’t premiere until Wednesday, April 13th 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

Mr. Sunshine

In this TV shows Ben (Matthew Perry) works at The Sunshine Center and his boss Crystal (Allison Janney) is totally unpredictable and dysfunctional. His girlfriend Alice does PR and he competes for her affection with the smooth-talking Alonzo. Ben is forced to hire Crystal’s unmotivated son Roman who becomes his confidant. All you need to know is that four-time Emmy winner Allison Janney is amazing and she is going to be the heart of this show. “Mr. Sunshine” premieres Wednesday, February 9th at 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Parks and Recreation

This one is finally coming back to NBC Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. ET. The show was pushed back in an effort to give “Outsourced” a chance to survive, which, miraculously, it has despite being pretty mediocre. Anyway, Amy Poehler is fantastic, as is the rest of the cast, and Rob Lowe has added an interesting dynamic to the show! This is actually maybe my favorite show on TV right now.

Mixed Signals

In this TV shows three longtime friends (Nelson Franklin, David Denman and Kris Marshall) try to balance their committed relationships with their desire for freedom and bromance. The show deals with relationships and friendships and how they tend to complicate each other. The show will premiere in the spring on Tuesdays 9:30 p.m. ET on Fox.

Top 11 movies Of 2011 Part 2

Top 11 movies Of 2011 Part 2

This is second part top 2011 movies we will enjoy in 2011

7. Cowboys & Aliens

 

Studio: Universal Pictures

Director: Jon Favreau (Iron Man 1 & 2, Elf)

Cast: Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell

Scheduled Release Date: 7/29/2011

Based on the graphic novel series of the same name, this sci-fi western focuses on what happens when seven strangers are picked to live in-house and have their lives taped, when they stop being polite and start getting real. No, actually, it’s what happens when aliens land in mid-1800s Arizona aiming to take over the world and end up dealing with Lone Rangers, Sundance Kids, Wild Bills, Roy Rogers, Fighting Illini, Braves, and the Tribe. This is like the David vs. Goliath of primitive versus advanced civilizations. This exquisite dish has all the right ingredients for blockbuster pie with healthy chunks of James Bond (Daniel Craig), some Han Solo / Indiana Jones seasoning (Harrison Ford), and a squirt or five of hot (possibly alien) Olivia Wilde Wilde West.

8. Hugo Cabret

Studio: Columbia Pictures

Director: Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, The Departed, Taxi Driver… the list goes on)

Cast: Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz, Jude Law, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley

Scheduled Release Date: 12/9/11

Let’s face it, Martin Scorsese rarely makes a bad movie and when he does, it usually involves Leonardo DiCaprio in one way or another. And since Hugo Cabret is Marty’s first feature in 10 years Sans-Leo in a starring role, we’re banking it’s gonna be great. Based on the award winning illustrated novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, it’s a story about a 12-year-old orphan who lives in the walls of a Paris train station in 1930 where his survival depends on secrets and anonymity. It’s Scorcese’s first venture into the world of 3-D and promises to be a pretty fantastic journey.

9. Battle: Los Angeles

Studio: Columbia Pictures

Director: Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning)

Cast: Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriquez, Michael Pena, Bridget Moynahan

Scheduled Release Date: 2/18/2011

This real-time war movie about a marine platoon’s defense against an alien invasion has been described as Black Hawk Down meets Independence Day. Sign. Me. Up. Tell me the soundtrack is Rage Against the Machine‘s Battle of Los Angeles and I’ll pay you for two tickets right now. The movie is based on a mysterious event that happened in Los Angeles during World War II in which the US military spotted UFOs and shot some down then blamed it on Al Qaeda or something. The event was labeled as a “false alarm” with “war nerves” used as an excuse for unleashing absolute hellfire on some weather balloons. As anyone ever seen a weather balloon? I wouldn’t be caught dead in one of those suckers, you get yer ass split by military grade weaponry.

10. Captain America: The First Avenger

 

Studio: Paramount Pictures

Director: Joe Johnston (The Wolfman, Hidalgo, Jurassic Park III, Jumanji, The Rocketeer)

Cast: Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Hugo Weaving

Scheduled Release Date: 7/22/2011

The jury’s still out on Chris Evans as superhero just as it is for Ryan Reynolds. These actors are known for their quirky expressions and comedic chops, so to take them seriously as saviors is, well, going to take a heroic effort. I mean, when he saves the woman I fully expect him either rip a fart or sneeze on her. In case you’re unfamiliar with the Admiral USA story, it follows a soldier who’s discharged from military service and decides to volunteer for a top-secret research project, which ultimately turns him into the red, white, and blue brute you see to the left. America’s taken a real bad rap of late, so maybe this will turn the world’s POV around. I mean, I think even America hates America at this point. Should be nice to see a little pro-USA propaganda again. Joe Johnston’s track record is suspect, but it’s hard to f up a film with Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones.

11. Moneyball

Studio: Columbia Pictures

Director: Bennett Miller (Capote, The Cruise)

Cast: Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Scheduled Release Date: 9/23/11

This is the film adaptation of Michael Lewis’ 2003 book. It follows the story of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane who assembled the team by using computer-generated analysis and overlooked statistics. Brad Pitt will play Beane and other cast members include Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as then A’s manager Art Howe. Unless PSH loses a ton of weight, grows 6 inches (not in the pants) and dyes his hair, I don’t really see how he’s a good fit as Howe. Even Pitt as Beane is a bit off. If they can duplicate The Blind Side’s formula for success, expect an Oscar nod or three.
