The 2012 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicks off this week in Las Vegas. I will be attending for my first time and I’m nothing short of excited. Anyone who has even the slightest geek in them knows this is the biggest electronics show in the world. CES is filled with everything electronic like TVs, phones, computers, cameras, and tablets. If you do a quick search on Google or twitter for CES you find and endless stream of leaks, expectations and hopes for this year. Here are some of the leaks that I’m looking forward to checking out:

• Toshiba’s 55-inch Glasses-less 3-D TV. They are the pioneer for this upcoming technology bringing 3-D video to your home without the need for those annoying glasses. This will be headed to theUSthe first quarter of year with a cool $10,000 price tag.

• LG’s 55-inch OLED TV. This thing is only 4 mm thin and weighs in at about 7.5 kg. It also has almost no border so if you played a video of a pool I guess it would be an infinite pool? This same TV is also boasting a new 4 Color Pixels technology that is sure to impress the videophile in everyone.

• Intel is finally entering the mobile chip market with their new Medfield design. They already have a partnership with LG and have built an Android phone. Currently this and their mock-up tablets aren’t in production, but once they have the power consumption issue handled they are sure to become a force to be reckoned with.

• Game Genie will actually be making a come back. They are going to be announcing the return of the Game Genie for the PS3 and PS Portable. They are also creating a downloadable version for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS.

This is only a small taste of what is to come at CES 2012. I plan to blog about as much as I can from my Xoom so make sure you stay tuned. You can follow GMachine on facebook  and twitter as well. I can not wait, I have less than 24 hours until I enter the gates of gadget paradise in Las Vegas and bathe in the electronic glory that is CES. Let us not forget that since this is in Las Vegas, the evenings will be filled with plenty of hookers and blow. –Greg

I’ve been patiently waiting for Zinio to release their app for Android and the day has finally come! Zinio isn’t your average reader. Why because they have more magazines than Kindle and Nook “…choose from thousands of issues from 41 countries in 23 different languages.” I’ve also downloaded a magazine on both Kindle and Nook and neither can compare to the clarity and quality of Zinio’s digital magazines. I’ve had the desktop app for windows for a while and liked it a lot. So when I got my XOOM I was pretty disappointed to find they hadn’t released their Android version yet. Now that’s changed and it’s been released today. I’ve already got it downloaded and have briefly run through some free magazines and I have to say it looks GREAT! The app is now available in the market and is supported on Honeycomb. If you download before June 15^th you’ll get 24 free magazines! So get over to the Android Market and download your Zinio App today! –Greg

**Update – So after some regular usage last night I have some more comments. First, it takes way to long to download a single magazine. I’m running 18M download at home and was using WiFi only which still seem to take around 5-10 minutes. Second, more than several times would I turn the page and wait for it to load completely so that the text would be clear and it never would. I would have to turn past the page a few and come back to get it to load correctly. Lastly, I feel that the experience was rather slow overall. It’s a great start and feel it only needs to improve the 3 previously mentioned items and it will be pretty solid. Looking forward that polished product.

G Machine has gone through a little bit of a make over. Come check out the sleek new look and feel. The change is based around making it easier for everyone to read. I think the new layout creates an easier to look at feel for your eyes. The WordPress Theme “Piano Black” was built by Mono-Lab, thanks guys. Once you’ve taken time to feel it out please let me know your thoughts and comments, I would really love to hear them! -Greg

Photoshop has over the years been making it easier and easier to manipulate photos. Now enter the upcoming Content-Aware Fill feature which is more like magic than a tool. One of the most time consuming and problematic issues I have is when I remove and object from a picture and have to rebuild the background. Well what if you could just trace the object and poof its gone and the background was rebuilt? Well, my friend you would be using this tool. Adobe should have called this thing pure magic. -Greg

Coming to theaters this April is Kenny Chesney’s “Summer in 3D” . This movie will be shown in 3D about his tour and everything that goes with it. I’m not sure about how much the 3D will add to it, but I sure am looking forward to the movie! Here is a sneak peak.. – Greg 

Bottle bootlegger, Jason Kay found himself with a felony charge and 2 misdemeanors after creating his own version of a Gatorade label. His label pictured to the left included a picture of Tiger Woods and read “unfaithful”. I think it’s hilarious and Tiger deserves the joke, however Gatorade doesn’t seem to agree. If convicted he could face up to 5 years in a federal prison. The charges “of introducing adulterated or misbranded food into interstate commerce, mutilating or destructing a food label, and tainting a consumer product with the intention of causing serious injury to a business” seem a little over the top. I don’t think that Jason is going to single handed bring down Gatorade. -Greg
