The 2013 Best of CES Awards: CNET's story

Last week, about 40 members of the CNET editorial staff met in the CNET trailer in the parking lot of the Las Vegas Convention Center to vote on our official Best of CES winner. We gathered on Wednesday evening and heard from each editor covering the show what he or she liked best.

Ultimately, we chose the Dish Hopper for our Best of CES award because of innovative features that push shows recorded on DVR to iPads.

After the vote, we communicated the winners, as we always do, through normal channels. CNET immediately got down to the business of preparing … Read more

Introducing CNET's Facebook Timeline app

We at CNET are very pleased to announce the launch of our Facebook Timeline app.

What is a Timeline app? It's a way of sharing the best stuff you're reading on CNET with your Facebook friends. When you connect with the app, the articles you read on CNET will appear in your friends' Facebook Ticker and occasionally in their News Feeds.

We know many of our readers have strong feelings about these types of Facebook apps (and yes, we've seen the Oatmeal comic). We've even ranted about the intrusiveness of some of these apps ourselves. Seriously, … Read more
