Sneak has always liked a tipple. Maybe a sherry or two after work and on special occasions, such as the anniversary of a loved one's birth or the release date of a major operating system. And one thing he'll definitely be toasting is the end of the IT freakshow also known as CES in Vegas. Not that Sneak is bitter that he didn't get an invite this year. Or last year. Or the year before for that matter.

Aside from the aforementioned MP3-mounted taser, attendees have been lucky enough to witness such delights as a GPS tracker for dogs, a belt that allows you to play air guitar, a self-driving car, and a pair of glasses which show the wearer any TV programs they might have missed while out and about. And people say IT is dull.
