5:00PM Nick Broughall | What’s worse than the fact that I actually stood there and filmed the entire routine is that it was one of the highlights of the Australian CeBit show. Seriously – for the average gadget fan, there was not a lot more than cheap, ugly electronics that you wouldn’t even buy cheap in China.

Breakfast Wrap
8:46AM Nick Broughall | Today I’m heading to a PowerTraveller launch, and then off to CeBit. Last year’s CeBit was a bit of a waste, but hopefully we’ll see some awesome stuff this year.
