THE big financial story is all the hype and circumstance surrounding the Consumer Electronics Show which opens today in Lost Wages. As you would expect, there’s excellent coverage in places like PC World where a lot of the focus is on 4K TV’s – which are the big screens with about four times as many pixels as the usual 1080p rigs.
