S15 Ep12: S15E12 - Speedos Mean Party Time‪!‬ The Geek Show

    • Technology

News has such a loose meaning these days, and it's our job to make sure that - at least for the science and technology parts - that status remains as silly as possible. Down with fake news!



So what's been happening this week? Well, one of the singers from '90s all-girl group All Saints has decided to do social media, B & M are offering a unique employment opportunity (Is it a dream job? One of us thinks so), babies kick up a lot of dirt according to clever science people, there's a crowd-funding project for something called CarWink (usefulness is relative), and the first film screened in a cinema in Saudi Arabia for 35 years is ... terrible.  



After all that we take a look at some of the stranger pieces of technology (a couple of which might be very useful), that have debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show.



Until next time, be careful what you do with Speedos.
