About Patrick Houston of

Patrick Houston

I've been in media longer than I'd like you to know. I've held top positions at ZDNet (executive producer), CNET (editor-in-chief) and Yahoo (GM). I joined NetShelter after being sold on its approach of bringing independently owned tech publishers together into a network greater than the sum of its parts.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
