In Singapore, John Chan goes grocery shopping with a very special kind of smart trolley. Finally, we head to San Francisco to get a first-hand experience of the first Virgin America Wi-Fi flight. For a price, you can check your email, stream video and even shop online while mid-air. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040867.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040867.htm Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:13:14 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Join CNET Australia's Ella Morton from the premiere of Baz Luhrman's wartime epic Australia for the 23rd episode of our global tech show. This week, our very own Rory Reid is in Scotland to drive a car with laser beams mounted on the front. No, he hasn't been recruited by MI6, it's a safety feature on the new Volvo XC60. Meanwhile, Kara Tsuboi goes on-set at the Discovery Channel's new series Prototype This, with a crack team of geeks making everything from fighting robots to waterslide simulators. Kind of like a nerdy A-Team. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040648.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040648.htm Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:41:11 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Is there anything robots won't do? You turn your back on them for two minutes to celebrate a new leader of the free world, and they've only gone and nicked your job. Well, your bartender's, anyway. In this episode of Planet CNET, Kara Tsuboi introduces a wine-pouring robot sommelier from Singapore and a gyroscopic unicycling automaton from Japan. In other news, Ella Morton is getting all worked up because the Australian government has decided to implement compulsory Internet filtering, which is definitely going to put a cramp on her 'lifestyle' options. Until next time! http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040512.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040512.htm Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:23:12 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) If you've ever seen a Chinese tech knock-off on eBay and thought it was just too good to be true, this is the video for you. In episode 21 of our global gadget show, our German colleagues test out the 'HiPhone', a blatant iPhone copy with handy extra features such as a replaceable battery. It all goes downhill from there though... There's real Apple news from San Francisco as Kara Tsuboi gets hands-on with the new MacBooks at Steve Jobs' launch event. And finally, CNET Australia's Ella Morton forces Aussie ISPs to justify their stingey download limits. Enjoy! http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040345.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040345.htm Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:13:14 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) First, we're off to Singapore to see how they buy electronics out there. Amazingly, they use shops too, but they are much bigger than ours. Next, the French office tells us what teens are watching on the Web (and no, it's not what you think), while finally our very own Rory and Nate fill the globe in on Nokia's new Comes With Music service. Byeee! http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040239.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040239.htm Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:32:52 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Ever wanted to know what the giant jumbo from Airbus looks like on the inside? Ella Morton pokes around the new A380 run by Singapore Airlines. Inside is tech heaven, including video-on-demand at every seat and a double bed to lounge on while you make the ardours cross across the ocean from Australia. Next up is Rory, measuring the amount of electricity Advent's new Eco PC uses against that used by a lightbulb, and the French introduce us to the wonders of spy cameras. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040162.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040162.htm Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:45:10 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) In this week's episode of Planet CNET, Rory Reid somehow manages to link experiencing zero gravity with antivirus software. He's not fooling anyone. Kara Tsuboi dons a figure-hugging spandex suit to capture her motion with special-effects wizards Industrial Light and Magic -- check out her 'interpretation' of Iron Man. Plus Japan's Nicole Lee gets hands-on with a designer phone. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040107.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040107.htm Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:09:51 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) The latest episode of our global tech show includes a guided tour of Germany's biggest tech show, with the world's biggest 3D monitor and a superlight iPod projector. The TiVo PVR has finally showed up in Australia and Kara Tsuboi meets a guy who's made a movie about Googling himself. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040106.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39040106.htm Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:51:13 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Watch the return of Planet CNET with Rory Reid testing an electric scooter, the CNET Asia crew parking a car and the French collective on social networking http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39039993.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39039993.htm Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:47:51 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Put on your sea tbelts, strap on your helmet and get ready for one hell of a ride. Episode 15 of Planet CNET sees Kara Tsuboi taking to the streets on an A2B electric bicycle. It'll give you a 20mph top speed and a 20-mile range, but it costs a whopping $2,600 (£1,400). John Chan from CNET Asia, meanwhile, takes us on a tour of the latest F1 Grand Prix street circuit in Singapore. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39039739.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39039739.htm Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:48:22 +0000
