HP head honcho Carly Fiorina this morning addressed the crowds at CES. As we flock to Las Vegas to be both educated and entertained, we expect more than just your average keynote. Bill Gates flew in Conan O'Brien. Craig Barrett got us a surprise visit by Steven Tyler and Robert Redford. Fiorina didn't break rank.

No Fiorina keynote without mentioning Dreamworks, the company that seems to be HP's single most important reference customer. But we were rewarded for sitting though the n-th PR pitch about how HP saved the moviemaker from certain disaster with an exclusive preview of the upcoming movie "Madagascar".

The main characters (a neurotic giraffe, an overconfident lion, a zebra with a midlife crisis and huggable but wise hippo)  find themselves being deported from a New York city zoo to Kenya. The picture shows them in their shipping crates on the deck of a ship, shortly before they fall overboard.

Fiorina among things, unveiled a Gwen Stefani branded digital camera that will be available in stores some time before the summer. The singer from the band No Doubt recently launched a solo album Love, Angel, Music, Baby.

Gwen did join Fiorino on stage, but didn't sing live – thank God we might add. We've heard that her looks are better than her tone of voice.

Fiorina however didn't leave us empty handed. When talking about custom iPod tatoos (some sort of pre-designed sticker that you past on your music player to customise it), the HP CEO said that the Vanessa Carlton skin was one of the best selling ones. Although that remark seemed no more but an excuse to introduce the singer, we gladly took the bait.
