| Hands On With Project Shield, Nvidia's Powerhouse Game Controller | | LAS VEGAS — One of the big surprises of CES 2013 was Project Shield, a handheld game controller that Nvidia unveiled in dramatic fashion earlier this week. We got a little hands-on time with a pre-production model of the device, which the company hopes to transform into a full-fledged gaming platform, while at the show. The Shield certainly seems to have the goods to do what Nvidia promises.

| Facebook Charging $100 to Message Mark Zuckerberg | | We knew Facebook was eager for new revenue streams. We just didn't know they were this eager. If you try to send founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg a message on Facebook, Mashable discovered Thursday, the social network may offer to keep the message out of his "Other" Inbox — for a cool $100. In our tests from multiple accounts, it appeared to be the case that users only get this message if they're not one of Zuck's 16 million followers.

| Attention Men: This Is Why You Have Nipples | | Thursday, January 10, 2013 10:20 PM | Neha Prakash |
| Sorry to break it to all you bros out there, but back in the day you were just one of the ladies. And while we're sure you'll be happy to finally release the goddess within, take a moment to learn how you grew up to be oh so manly. It has something to do with chromosomes and skin overlapping ... and all that other stuff they taught you in 7th grade science class, but you were too busy making paper airplanes to listen to.

| Oakland, Calf.-based band GnarBoots hacked up a hairball of bizarre to create the music video for their tune, "Cats in Pajamas." Cats, pajamas — what could go wrong? So much. The peculiar video looks like a scene out of a child's nightmare, or possibly a scene cut from Donnie Darko. Either way, it's something you won't forget.

| This Picture Shows Everything Wrong With 'Booth Babes' at CES | | Thursday, January 10, 2013 7:45 PM | Chris Taylor |
| 'Booth babes' have been one of the more unfortunate features of tech trade shows for years. Women (we've never seen any male booth babes) chosen for their looks are paid to hang around a company's booth and attract the mostly male, mostly older attendees. Sometimes the women are well paid, sometimes they get minimum wage, but their relationship to the product in question is usually gossamer-thin.

| As International CES 2013 draws to a close, Mashable's CES team members have racked our tired, sleep-deprived, Red-Bull-fueled brains to come up with a list of our favorite tech items from the event. Whittling the list down wasn't easy. We saw smartphones, humongous Ultra HDTVs, smartphone cases, Bluetooth speaker systems, advanced gaming systems and accessories, 3D sensors and more.

| Amazon announced Thursday morning that any customer who purchases a CD will receive a free digital copy of that album. The offer is valid not only on present and future purchases, but on any one of 50,000 CDs purchased from the retailer since 1998. Could the same offer soon be extended to movies and books? The answer, unfortunately, is probably not. The first issue is cost.
