January is a magical time if you’re a geek. It brings with it many sacred holidays, such as CES and MacWorld. But what if you can’t make the journey to mecca? Be it financial reasons, or maybe you just couldn’t book a hotel. Thankfully in this web-based world we live in, it’s easy to enjoy the whole event right from your comfy chair.
