Getting all techy

CMU Daily previews the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where digital music stories are expected, and notes the Big Day Out festival lineup.

Do you realise we've gone all year without one Pete Doherty story? Hard to believe I know, but we'll rectify that today, don't worry. Meantime, the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in Las Vegas tomorrow. This is the annual event where all the big technology firms wheel out their big innovations. Given that most technology firms' big innovations of late have been music related, CES has normally meant lots of digital music stories - so expect more of them than usual in the next few days. And if you think that's exciting, just wait till those big mobile phone industry conventions kick off next month - you'll be in technology heaven. If you prefer music to tech and you happen to be in Australia just now (half of you seem to be), then the full schedule is out for this month's Big Day Out festivals - http://www.bigdayout.com. Though, while not wishing to carry on being the tech geek and all, I should point out that their website doesn't seem to work in Firefox.
