We're not at CES right now, but NOTCOT is, and they're having a pretty good time, looks like. Less with the blackjack table, and more with the extreme environmental testing of highly survivable technology:
NOTCOT: ioSafe Solo ~ HD's on FIRE!!! (part 1/2) from Jean Aw on Vimeo.
"Disaster-proof hardware" manufacturer ioSafe took the blogging crew out to a suburban demo site to show off one of their recently unveiled external hard drives, and even if you're not in the market for one, the video's worth a look, starting with chucking the thing into the pool, then sticking it in a gas-fired furnace (burnination starts at 1:30 in the video).
Lots and lots (and lots) more photos of the event over on NOTCOT, including this one--our favorite--the aftermath of the other guys' drive, sitting next to the ioSafe for comparison. We're fairly certain that data is irretrievable.
