Today On Techflash

"The only thing Microsoft should be worried about right now is how bad their publicity engine is. I mean, they're just letting Google walk all over them. They need to bring out their big guns and call BS on Chrome as an OS. Or, at least, force any rapid, fanatical anti-MS person to exclusively use browser-based apps for a week. "

Seattle | TechFlash | Technology

It's time once again for tech companies to provide a glimpse of what they've been cooking up for the year ahead. TechFlash will be covering the Macworld Expo in San Francisco and the big Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week.

If your Seattle-area company will be showing new products or technologies in conjunction with these shows, we'd like to hear from you. Please drop us a note at techflashtips@bizjournals.com.

This year's shows won't feature the usual tech celebs, but there will still be plenty of news. Apple's Phil Schiller will deliver the Macworld keynote Tuesday morning at San Francisco's Moscone Center, taking the slot traditionally held by Apple CEO Steve Jobs. And Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will give the pre-CES keynote in Las Vegas the next night, taking over for Bill Gates. Other speakers at CES will include Sony CEO Howard Stringer and Ford Motor CEO Alan Mulally, the former Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief.

Watch for coverage on TechFlash starting early next week.
