Jan 11, 2013 05:30 am | Edwin HAL 9000 Life-Size Replica Fans in the realm of science fiction, we play harbingers of good news today – delivering word that you can now bring the terror of early computing right to the comforts of your own home. Who knows, one of the $499.99 HAL 9000 Life-Size Replica could actually malfunction and be the malevolent ghost in the shell that scared the heck out of many all those years ago when they watched Space Odyssey? Touted to be the most accurate HAL 9000 replica ever created, it was constructed from the 1967 blueprints and image files. The HAL 9000 Life-Size Replica might not usher the end of humanity, but what it does would no less send chills down the spines of those in the know. It can speak 15 different phrases, and respond to voice and most IR remotes, now how about that? The red LED eye will definitely be part of its physical make up, and it comes with a 2-minute auto-shutoff feature to save battery life.

Case in point, CES 2013 saw the announcement of the NUU Splash Bluetooth speaker that is clearly waterproof, helping you enjoy your favorite tunes the next time there is a poolside or beach party, but have you ever gave thought to the device streaming music to it? Is your smartphone or portable media player waterproof? Sure, this would mean additional expenditure on your part to purchase a waterproof case, but surely there are no waterproof notebooks out there – at least, not yet. I guess this means I will just concentrate on sharing with you what the NUU Splash portable waterproof wireless speaker offers, and you will have to make the decision as to whether to bring one home or not when available. It has an integrated microphone and will work with all Bluetooth devices, manufactured using aircraft-grade aluminum for lightweight toughness and is IP55 certified against dust and low pressure water jets. Accessing volume and track selection controls are a snap, and it even functions as a speakerphone if you desire it to. The NUU Splash has been rated to last for up to 10 hours of continuous playback, or 240 hours on standby. You can choose from green, blue, gray, red and black colors at $99 a pop.

Surely the difference was obvious when you laid it side by side with the first generation iPad and the vanilla version of the iPad 2, but when it comes to resolution count and pixel density on tablets, Panasonic has got everyone beat this CES. Granted, toting around Panasonic's 20" tablet is not going to be the most enjoyable of tasks for road warriors, but when you consider how it weighs as much as a standard notebook (not an Ultrabook, mind you) at just 2.4kg, you would sing a different tune and say that the 20" is a sheer marvel in engineering. Just in case you were wondering what kind of resolution the 20-inch IPS Alpha LCD panel packs, we are talking about 4K (Ultra HD) resolution. If you were to whip your calculator out and perform some mathematical equations, your mind would be blown away – 4K resolution is more than four times the resolution of Full High Definition, and when you accompany that with a high precision digital pen, you have more or less got yourself a new winner here, hands down.

With a pixel density of 230 pixels per inch and a unique aspect ratio of 15:10, it is capable of displaying an A3-size paper in almost full size, and thanks to the unique pen peripheral that it comes with, it enables natural handwriting on the tablet. Surely one needs to fork out a handsome sum to bring this 20-inch 4k IPS Alpha LCD Panel home?

Why do we say that this is unique? Well, the next time your mate gloats over the rest of the group that his Samsung Galaxy Note 2's 5.5" display is the bomb, all you need to do is coolly whip out the Ascend Mate and watch the rest of the gang drool over its 6.1" display. Granted, a larger screen does not necessarily translate to high resolution, which would be more or less the most obvious "flaw", if one can say that, in the Huawei Ascend Mate. Still, the Huawei Ascend Mate is no pushover when it comes to hardware specifications, as it is touted to run on a 1.5GHz Hi-Silicon quad-core processor with a 4050 mAh battery in tow to keep things together. The battery will work with Huawei's proprietary Quick Power Control (QPC) and Automated Discontinuous Reception (ADRX) battery efficiency technology and fast sharing technology, allowing it to last the distance even during a day that saw full of heavy usage. Touted to sport a screen-to-body ratio of 73%, which is currently the highest in the industry by far, it will help maximize your viewing pleasure for emails, documents, video or games. The 6.1-inch HD IPS+ LCD screen might not carry Full HD capability, but it still has a respectable resolution of 1280 x 720, while 'Magic Touch' capability lets you use the display even when you are wearing a pair of gloves – perfect for those of us living in countries where the mercury plunges to the low negatives during winter. There is no word on pricing at the moment, but it is rather strange to hear that Huawei will sell the Ascend Mate in China from February onwards. Perhaps they are testing the market there beforehand?
