Stuff We Like
This week here at the Yasar and Guy Show, we take a look at last week's CES International 2011 show. We've picked some of the hottest upcoming gadgets and games that will be vying for your hard-earned dollars this year. What's hot, what's not and what's just okay... We have your answers right here. One small disclosure before we get started. Yasar and I were not able to attend this year's show, but we did watch multiple live streams and read various favorite sites that covered the event in full detail.
So the following is our dual opinion on what looks to be the best of 2011.

Newsworthy
Facebook, Inc, recently launched a brand-new ad format, called a
"Featured Story," which dumps paid content - rather than updates
from Great Aunt Lynn about her recent biopsy or one of those
internet memes - squarely into our news feeds. Worse, these paid
advertisements (a.k.a. "news feed) shows the actions of the
Facebook users friends and these ads are front-and-center on our
Facebook news feed.
Great. More ads.
I've been mildly annoyed by the ads (read: "Sponsored Stories") on
the sidebar of Facebook, but have been able to tune them out. Now,
when I'm blearily checking to see if I've gotten any response to my
"Which Disney Princess Are You?" post, I'm bound to accidentally
click a Featured Story.
You know what? I'm sick of ads.
Because I have to sell my firstborn son in order to see a movie
these days, I do it perhaps twice a year.

Product Review
I know a ton of people who'd like to abandon their pricey home phone service, but still want the equivalent of a landline for convenience, emergencies--and the occasional marathon chat session (one that won't eat into their mobile minutes or drain their cell phone's battery).
