±«Óãtv

Your link to Wowwee has a typo.

Once again we see ±«Óãtv using people who seeem unable to use a spell checker, and in some cases lack any idea of grammer.
i.e " as pepole blunder into each other like weebles.2
The public pays for the ±«Óãtv so we should get at least decent work done by those employees that ±«Óãtv use & no doubt get well paid for the work.
±«Óãtv used to be an example of excellence and high standards ,but that is now non-existant.
Get rid of those ,who take the money but 'cant' do the work properly.

This blog looks set to be an excellent and insightful look into consumer products for the future. Keep up the good work.

We have been selling 200Mbps powerline adaptors for nearly 2 years now, how come it's a "new" idea when Netgear introduce it.

I think you might want to check whether CES really is the 'biggest electronics show in the world'. CEBIT in Hanover is a fairly large affair too...

I'm a little bit staggered by the way these huge shows keep going in the modern age. Sitting at my desk, I can pick up stories online, via press releases etc., much faster than the poor chap on the show floor. Most PR companies stick up the full details of products at the very start of, say, an hour long announcement, giving people at home, in comfort, faster and better access to information.

OK, so I don't get to 'press the flesh', but I also don't have to put up with long flights, cold buses, queues for taxis, time away from family etc.

Bah humbug 8-)

Darren, I disagree with the tone of Ron Spenceron's disdainful comments above. However, he is dead right about your spelling. "Sneek" (Frisian Snits) is a municipality and a city in Fryslân in the northern Netherlands. Try "Sneak".
"..neworks" are "..networks", and .."ethernet" is a proprietary name that requires a capital "E". Stay behind after school, young man.

Given the number of spelling and grammatical mistakes in your post, I don't think you're in a position to criticize!

Or, indeed, criticise. :)

... or, indeed, Mr. Spenceron's abysmal punctuation.

Neither you, I, or Mr. Spenceron is employed by the ±«Óãtv so I would not expect anything of our spelling or grammar.

However, I would expect an employee of the ±«Óãtv who's job is to report using grammatically and syntactically correct language to be considerably better.

I develop real-time software for the medical industry and would be out of a job if I made half as many mistakes as shown in this article.

These technological advances mean nothing when a distinct lack of education is causing such simple errors. In how many situtations, (and/or professions,) would you get someone complaining about the output of another person when his or her output is also obviously very wrong. I'm sure there are errors in this post somewhere, but I think the focus needs to be removed from the actual text, as we look forward to what is more than likely going to be a very interesting conference, albeit a gramatically and linguistically controversial one.

Give the man a break, he's probably jet-lagged, hyped up on coffee, worn out from pounding the show floor, and has been up all night putting tokens in the slot-machine. Small wonder there's a few typos. Besides, when a report is full of technical acronyms, its hard to spot the real typos from the other words underlined in red that the spell-checker doesnt know.

I wonder how many Elvis heads they will sell...

@ James Lawson says:

The neither-nor usage requires a pair of words. The usage with three descriptors is not grammatically correct.

@ James Lawson says further:

"However, I would expect an employee of the ±«Óãtv who's job is to report using grammatically and syntactically correct language to be considerably better."

It is not "who's" but whose.

Pot, kettle, black etc come to mind. It does not matter what one's job is, but anybody, who wishes to throw stones at others in public fora, should check they do not live in glass houses themselves.

A blog on technology and all we get by way of comment are the usual ±«Óãtv bashers and licence fee moaners! Get a life you lot! The guy is trying to convey the excitement and chaos of a major trade show and most probably bashed out his content in less than ideal circumstances and clearly in a hurry and under deadline. More detail on the show and less chat on grammar is what I want to read. I know spelling and grammar have their place but lets not miss the point folks!

I think I would be the last person to point out grammatical mistakes, but to sweep the whole subject under the carpet by saying someone is jet-lagged etc and that in any case the meaning is more important than the form is totally unacceptable. In personal e-mails we can be forgiven for dashing something off, but in this case publication standards should apply. The fact that practically all the comments on this article are on the language used in it and the comments tells me that it _IS_ important. I would add as a rider that this little text box in which I am composing this does NOT have a spell-checker so there IS some excuse for the people making comments having erroneous English (but definitely NOT for those complaining about others' English, lol)
