    Great going 😀

    Let's get people from other engineering industries as well. Let's say people who design rides in theme parks, build aeroplanes etc.

    What say? 😉

    Keep adding, I'm hunting 😁

    Hey there!

    I've contacted Dell couple of times, but looks like they are just too busy to reply 😒 . I haven't yet contacted Zune, but I'll sure add it to the list 😉 .

    Can anyone here get us in touch with the Apple's iPod/iPhone team? If yes, please get in touch with me over PM or email : admin at crazyengineers dot com

    Right now, I'm trying to get in touch with the makers of Bruj Dubai 😁

    I know few of our Small Talks are pending. While we are working hard at getting big people to respond; it won't hurt to see who do our CEans want to see in our Small Talks.

    So - who should be on CE Small Talk?
