Saw Telegen at CES Las Vegas this week. They had a hokey stand alone tent building in the parking lot in front of the convention center surrounded by concertina wire. Guarded by people in fatigues, the building promised a peak at Sector 51. Inside was a flying saucer ride which rocked and rolled, and made lots of rocket type noises. They gave a 10 minute canned spiel that was essentially incomprehensible claiming that they had lots of secret knowledge. They showed some telephone blocking devices. In a separate part of their pavillion (which was the size of the Power PC structure at Comdex) was a room where a white smocked engineer demoed a 5 in. diameter green and black screen (about 2 in. thick) which showed a bad movie running from a VCR. The engineer seemed pleased that he was running at 80 volts. He said the panel was a tube and that the screen had phosphors. He said that the lawyers instructed him to say no more.

I don't know what the point of their exhibit was. Their engineers seemed puzzled. Clearly the company forked over a good deal of its resource to build and fund this charade. The publicity flier given out shows the CEO Jessica Stevens shaking hands with Bill Clinton. Maybe that's the point.
