Hey, Bubblenauts!

It’s the second episode of CNET.co.uk’s new gadget show, set aboard a little Bubble Ship, floating in space.

This week we investigate the gluttonous power consumption of modern gadgets and prove that ‘digital’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘more advanced’.

We also take a look at a laptop encased in bamboo and kick one particularly obnoxious mobile phone out of the airlock, where it explodes into a billion shards of ill-conceived plastic resin.

Climb aboard the Space Bubble, a geostationary satellite high above the surface of Earth, crewed by a solitary pilot – driven near insane by his obsession with the trappings of consumer capitalism.

To the stars!
