CES 2014: Director loses direction as teleprompter fails 

As there was just so much happening on press day at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show 2014, we thought we'd bring you a selection of highlights - and some of the lowlights - as they happened. 
There were lots of wearable tech prototypes, a fancy mini-computer and more at Brian Krzanich's Keynote address.
The Intel chief executive has been in charge of the firm for less than a year, making this his first CES as CEO.
Brian Krzanich unveiled Edison, a computer the size of an SD card, at his presentation 


One part of his presentation, however, marked the end rath
er than the start of an era - the decision to rename the firm's security products division. 

It is ditching the McAfee brand and replacing it with Intel Security.
The controversial founder of the security business, John McAfee, told the BBC he was overjoyed by the news.
"I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users.

"My elation at Intel's decision is beyond words."
The reaction should come as no surprise. Last year Mr McAfee released a video showing how to "uninstall" the firm's anti-virus software by blasting a laptop with a bullet.

 John McAfee says he is elated by Intel's decision to drop his name from their software
