The doors to the Las Vegas convention center opened Thursday, and the Consumer Electronics Show is now officially in full swing. I’m in no position to do an official head count, of course, but the crowd seems just a little thinner than it did last time I was here. Certain parts of certain halls just seem kind of dead. I can find places to sit in the press room and the slop stands. Is it really less crowded? Perhaps the constant message from exhibitors (“Yes, it’s economic Armageddon, but we’re doing fine”) has tinted my perceptions. Who knows?
