Crave (SD)

Crave: Ep. 11: Intergalactic House of Robot Pancakes

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:51:16 PDT

This week on Crave, Donald and Jasmine attempt to make due in the absence of the Eric Franklin, who should be awakening from his Nyquil-induced haze any moment now. The big news of the day is Apple's latest gadgets, which includes an iMac attack and the undeniably unique Apple Magic Trackpad. And of course, no Crave podcast would be complete without talk of robots and food...specifically one that makes food (sort of). Also, Japan develops some freaky-smart billboards, the military gets some super spectacular smart earplugs, and the police find a new non-fatal weapon. Finally, we soothe your eyes with some lovely 3D street art--no funky glasses required.

Crave: Ep. 10: Barbie likes to watch

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:56:20 PDT

On this week's Crave vodcast, we attempt to answer the pressing question of which one is creepier: a Barbie cleavage cam or machine-gun wielding security cam. Either way, a camera's gonna getcha. Also on tap is a wide array of robotic walking aids, from an even lazier version of the roller shoe to sweet bionic legs for the disabled and the military. Plus, Jasmine thinks a killer drone is cute, Donald geeks out on a Super Mario star tattoo, and Eric is just...Eric.

Crave: Ep. 09: Bendy bikes & music showers

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:21:55 PDT

What's not to crave about a pole dancing bike? We can think of a few things, actually, but it's still pretty cool. Donald, Eric, and Jasmine also have a go at a super simple phone for luddites and get very serious about George Lucas's neck fat. Plus, Jasmine wants to take a ride in GUSS, Donald has a massive crush on a limbless robot, and Eric wants to take a date to Burger King. Finally, a little bit of ear candy for the MP3 Insider holdovers with some knobtastic speaker furniture.

Crave: Ep. 08: Back to the Futurama

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 03:04:26 PDT

Eric Franklin once again invades the Crave podcast and is more than happy to provide his opinion on how unrealistic our latest Lego obsession is. Jasmine, on the other hand, is utterly unimpressed with the DIY power laces that aim to mimic the sweet Nikes from "Back to the Future II." But the tone turns hopeful when we get to Donald's army of beer-o-matic robots, and we're all a little taken with two sweet keyboards that take two totally different tacks.

Crave: Ep. 07: Go go gadget paper

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:50:30 PDT

Despite the fact that everyone else is talking about it, Donald and Jasmine can't help but be a little repetitive and froth at the mouths over Hulu Plus, an new app and premium service from the popular video streaming provider. And of course, no Crave podcast would be complete without a little robotic action, and we're particularly fond of Emily. Also on deck: a tiny hypercolor man and a DIY Hello Kitty gadget that is sure to send Japanese teeny boppers screaming for the hills.

Crave: Ep. 06: The trouble with lightsabers

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:10:42 PDT

This week, Donald and Eric debate the dangers of robots, geodesic playgrounds, and real-life lightsabers. Plus, we take a look at some invisible cables, giant air multipliers, Catan for Microsoft Surface, and the e-reader's race to the bottom.

Crave: Ep. 05: Up in smoke

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:40:57 PDT

This week, Donald and Jasmine have a lot to crave, not the least of which is a pair of health-monitoring tighty whities. And yet we are somehow much more impressed by a giant chess set made from robotic Legos, a swarm of hovering honeycombs, a massive LED art display that moves to the music, and a roving electric car disguised as a shrub. On the list of things not to crave? Trading drugs for gadgets. Come on people...you're smarter than that! (Right?)

Crave: Ep. 04: Laser drugs

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:11:41 PDT

Jasmine's (mostly) back from vacation, and already hates the iPhone 4. To balance out her blind rage for the as-yet released device, Eric and Donald tackle Crave stories ranging from monkey-controlled robots, laser drug injection, and a Lego printer that drives ladies wild (or not). Stick around for the end, and you may just see Darth Vader's cleavage.

Crave: Ep. 03: Moonbots, Velcro, and hoverboards

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 05:23:30 PDT

This week, Donald's back in the studio, joined by Eric Franklin and Dong Ngo from CNET Labs. We ponder Japan's plans to turn the moon into a playground for robots, and tackle OLED displays that roll and vanish. Dong drops some knowledge on recent hard drive innovations and a waterproof case for his Flip Ultra HD. The iPad meets Velcro. And the hoverboard makes a comeback (kinda).

Crave: Ep. 02: While the Donald's away...

crave@cnet.com (CNETTV.com) — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:52:50 PDT

Jasmine picks up the slack on Donald's sick day and gets fab producer Jason Howell and "huge" CNET Labs editor Eric Franklin to cohost the latest Crave podcast. We scoured Crave to bring only the best gems, and this week, we came up with a luxurious $15K speaker from Bowers & Wilkes, some Twitter-friendly dairy cows, a gadget porn crackdown, and the latest Japanese auto innovation . Also, no Crave podcast would be complete without a little something gross to cap it off. Tune in to find out what.
