SJ166: CES and desist -- some finds and fails, plus new lawsuits, recalls, Intel Firefox, Tivo, more

Our survey of Planet CES (stardate 2020) reveals some rich promising potential, cadets, but also a lot of wannabe fool's gold trying to get funding, as always. With co-Cap'n Mike sleeping it off, Charles brings back a decorated CES veteran --Commodore Alan Perry from the good ship CFAX -- to help decipher what's great, what will grate, and what should be grated like cheese immediately. There's also a battery case recall, a Firefox emergency patch, a Tivo glitch, and some fresh new lawsuits. We're doing our bit to put out the fires, and pitching in to help Australia with theirs -- but it's not all bad news! There's also new chips from Intel (still not chocolate, though ...), an alleged uptick in China iPhone sales, some new competition on the horizon, a rebirth for the Apple I (yes you read that correctly), and a few hilarious fails we saw, heard about, or got PR for from the big show in Las Vegas last week. All this and more, cadets, so roll the dice and thank your lucky stars ... CES is done for another year!
