CES was simply huge, says Michele. One thing that caught his eye was these bone-conducting headphones from Damson.

Now in its second year, Namescon has become the biggest domain industry event outside ICANN. Michele reports on a particularly vigorous domain auction held at the event. A catalogue of carefully selected premium New TLD domain names generated a lot of interest, he said. Ultimately 87 domains were sold, with prices ranging from $250 to $350,000.

Technology.ie is brought to you by Blacknight, now offering names in hundreds of new generic Top Level Domains and a range of quality hosting options.
