Also: a guy who says he can cure your dog's aches and pains using a cell phone and extraterrestrial technology. Holy crap, we love CES.

Each year, we attend CES in Las Vegas with the goal of bringing you the best, most innovative new products. And then there’s everything else. The inexplicably tiny toilet with an iPad attached. The guy wants to cure your pet’s depression using ET tech and a cell phone. The ladies who forgot to wear pants. PhD theses could be written about the tech industry’s taste for appealing to the lowest common denominator. 'Til then, enjoy these shots of the wackier side of CES 2013, which closed yesterday.

If they put pictures of those women from the Nvidia "display" on Nvidia graphics card boxes I'm never going to be able to buy a Nvidia graphics card again.

wait there was a nvidia display in the picture...I must have missed that, I better go back and have a 2nd look ;0)

There's an Asgard! He's helping that guy... cure dog pains? Hmm... the standards for the Asgard went 'swoosh!' down the toilet.

But isn't half this stuff not even going to be availible? I'm sure that there are a few things that are useful, but isn't most of this stuff useless? I honestly thought that the only point to the pantsless women was to grab men.

I want my paper thin phone! I've been wanting it for years!

I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Women without pants and that's the best picture you have? For Shame.
It's for science!

I don't know if it matters, but the girl with the cupcakes is cute.

Make your product lleek, sexy, bright pretty colors, new and the market will turn their head to see and if they buy, might depend up your product actually doing something, lol.

sleek, no lleek..... lol.

Reminds me of those good old days of the circus sideshows!
