Intel Intends To Rock Tech Trade Show

December 29, 2008

brookeburke.jpgMore details are emerging about potential hotspots at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which takes place Jan. 8-11. The latest announcement comes from Intel, which has hired TV personality, model and "Dancing with the Stars" winner Brooke Burke to host the red carpet at the computer chip manufacturer's invitation-only party at LAX Nightclub at Luxor on Jan. 9. Rock group Counting Crows, best known for their hit single "Mr. Jones," will headline the event.

Meanwhile on the CES exhibition floor, Intel will demo PC.com, which is described as "an online destination to explore, learn and ask questions about PC technology and purchasing options -- geared to the consumer who may find the world of personal computers a bit confusing." The Web site went live in July after a four month beta test and it is on target to reach 1.4 million hits during CES, officials said. The site features tech-tastic video clips starring Rob Lowe, Paula Abdul, Tori Spelling and others notables. For more CES celeb news, click here.
