Interoperability. Connectivity. Robin Williams. You know the geeks have inherited the world when the "Avids" at Comicon get visited by Peter Guber, Charlize Theron, Hugh Jackman, Bryan Singer, Kate Beckinsale, Avi Arad; and now, to seal the deal: CES -- a Consumer Electronics Show! -- gets A-Listers. From Endgadget:

"... 5:40 Morgan Freeman and Lauren McCready come onstage to promise movies 'within a few weeks of their release to theaters,' Morgan says. Now walking onstage: Tom Hanks, Danny DeVito, Tom Shadyac, Brad Silberling. Hanks jokes about his earlier appearance for Sony: 'I've been hanging around backstage for three hours.' Lots of apple-polishing speeches. Hanks cuts the BS and just says it's really great. DeVito gets a phone call onstage, promises Rhea Perlman that although he's in Vegas their are no girls there."
