Consumer Electronic Show 2014
The 2014 Consumer Electronics Show was filled with interesting, revolutionary new tech products. Unfortunately, many of them will never see the light of day. Others will make it to the market, but won't have a major impact on the tech landscape. As told by Sam Mattera
The following could be deemed as the most significant products from this year's show:
NVIDIA unveils revolutionary new mobile chipAs the market for traditional PCs has declined, chipmaker NVIDIA has branched out into mobile processors -- NVIDIA's Tegra mobile chips power a number of tablets, including Microsoft's Surface RT and Surface 2.
Intel diversifies with lineup of wearablesIntel will be hoping that tablet-makers choose its chips over NVIDIA's in 2014, but the Dow components focus this year at CES was on new wearable technology. Intel's new CEO, Brian Krzanich, unveiled nearly half a dozen different wearable gadgets last week, including a smartwatch, earbuds, and a headset. More significant than the actual gadgets themselves, however, was Intel's new "Edison" chip that powered them.
Sony unveils the future of video game distribution
Sony's big announcement at CES wasn't a physical object, but rather a service. Later this year, Sony will launch "PlayStation Now" -- an on-demand, subscription-based video game service that gives gamers access to a catalog of older PlayStation titles.

Microsoft challenged by Google-powered devicesMicrosoft didn't announce anything major at this year's CES, but the company's future looks to be affected by the products of firms that did. Both Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo -- the world's largest PC OEMs -- unveiled desktops powered by Google's Android.
