"We appreciate the International CES' decision to stand with the consumer in the acknowledgement of this award. With today's announcement, the Consumer Electronics Association (News - Alert) demonstrates the roles innovation and leadership must play in our industry.


"I regret that the award has come in the face of CBS' undermining of CNET's editorial independence.
