The International Consumer Electronics Show, happening this week in Las Vegas, is the event where all makers of consumer (and business) hardware, software and services gather to talk about the latest technologies and show off their upcoming products. At CES, companies, ah, mmmmm. Ok, I’ll just wing this. You see….. Sorry, sorry.

Just kidding. Couldn’t resist poking a little fun at director Michael Bay’s broken teleprompter meltdown during the Samsung presentation (and credit to my colleague Meg Murphy for the idea). It’s OK Mike, we’ve all been there. Standing in front of a large audience, forgetting what it was we were going to say. Go blow up a giant robot. It will make you feel better.

The sad thing about the attention given to Bay’s problems is that Samsung was actually showing off some pretty cool technology. Their giant 105 inch UltraHD TV features a curved screen, which will certainly be a big hit at your Super Bowl party. It also plays into the growing interest in curved displays, not just for giant TVs but also smartphones and personal electronics.

Of course, a show like CES isn’t complete without big, high-profile keynotes from big, high-profile CEOs, and yesterday came through with keynotes by Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer and Cisco’s John Chambers.

First off, you have to give Chambers credit for being willing to appear on stage with comedian Sarah Silverman. I mean, she’ll literally say anything (I can’t even link to most of her routines here). But her appearance in the keynote was funny without seeming too contrived.

In the keynote, Chambers doubled down on Cisco’s ongoing theme of the Internet of Things. At CES, Chambers bumped it up to the Internet of Everything. I’m guessing the next phase will be All Your Internet Are Belong to Us. To be honest, most of his keynote was still about the Internet of Things. But he made some good points and, while it’s easy to poke fun at these marketing memes, we really are moving to a trend where everything is literally connected. Chambers said, “Connectivity is not enough. You have to get the right data to the right person at the right time and on the right machine to make the best of it.”

In the other big keynote, Yahoo’s Mayer wasn’t talking about things, she was fully focused on content. In a very special guest filled keynote (featuring new Yahoo employee Katie Couric and Saturday Night Live performers Kenan Thompson and Cecily Strong), Mayer and her guests talked about the many new content strategies that Yahoo is pursuing (one of which, David Pogue’s Yahoo Tech, launched during the keynote).

Along with the tech site, Mayer and company talked about the new Yahoo Magazines and the Yahoo News Digest, both of which leverage acquired technology in the form of Summly (for News Digest) and Tumblr (for Magazines). Overall, it is clear that Yahoo is putting a lot of their future emphasis on becoming a content and media company built for the modern mobile and diverse audience.

As one would expect, the floor of CES showcased lots of gadgets and wearable technology featured prominently. One promising trend is that much of this new technology looks like something regular people (as in those who don’t want to look like they’re wearing a prop from Star Trek) would actually want to wear.

One last fun note from the start of CES was the story about party crasher John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile. It seems that Legere decided to crash the party of rival (and one time T-Mobile suitor) AT&T. So sad, they were almost family and now people are literally getting tossed out the door. In Legere’s defense, he said the main reason he showed up was to see performer Macklemore.

We’ll be following CES news all week and look for a wrap up of all the trends and stories to come out of this year’s CES in Las Vegas.
