As CES winds down, here’s some of the most interesting coverage from around the Web on this Wednesday morning (er, early afternoon...).

-- Weird post of the day goes to Gizmodo, which found a mysterious death on the showroom floor.

-- CES has felt a little like a funeral for HD DVD. Its backers haven’t thrown in the towel, but the L.A. Times reports that one of them, Paramount Pictures, is considering it.

-- A $1,500 keyboard? Say whaaat?

-- Engadget gets a sneak peek at a Delphi car navigation system whose screen displays one image to the driver and a different one to the passenger riding shotgun. That means you can get driving directions while your companion watches a movie.

-- News.com says one of the techiest people it found in Vegas wasn’t in the showroom -- he was driving a cab.

-- Second weirdest post of the day goes to Gizmodo, which gets its hands on a Microsoft children’s book that answers that burning question, ‘Mommy, why is there a server in the house?’
