New York Times says some of the minor players in the consumer electronics industry were missed during the latest CES show and profiles three companies. KidSmart produces a vocal smoke detector, since the regular ones “do not reliably awaken sleeping children”, according to the company. Sling Media sells a $249 box that takes your television programming and broadcasts it over the Internet. Voodoo PC produces fast and expensive PCs (both laptops, desktops and small form-factor desktops) respected by the gaming community.
