The gadget show used to be good, The prize draw thats massive is stupid, who will want 3 laptops 2 desktops, 5 tvs and 3 phones, ipod, ipad as well as all the other stuff. The winner just either gives it away or sells it on ebay.

lol, yep, it just goes on and on!

Cripes! Suzy does have a nice set of pins I must say!!!

Agree with other posters, a bit like Top Gear but with gadgets, good for entertainment but not that informative. The prize fund is also obscene, I generally switch channels when that bit comes on as I know I'm unlikely to ever own any of it!

Isn't the Gadget Show a direct replacement for the Muppet Show?


The cast seem similar.;)

I like the gadget show, it lets you watch someone else playing with the new gadgets instead of succumbing to temptation and going and buying something flashy just to find out that it was not up to the job a couple of weeks later.
I do think a lot of the 'articles' are just advertising opportunities and wish they would make the competition a bit less greedy.
The 'protect yourself' thing they did ,didnt really cover much at all.
For example they said that you shouldn't click 'keep me logged in on this computer' at a public-use machine but didn't give any kind of advice as to how to pick memorable passwords so you can easily log on from memory.
I mean,putting something like 'jonspass' (jons pass) is stupid but they could also have j0n5pa55 or pa55d31aj0n(pass de la jon) .
People sometimes use the same password for everything which is equally crazy.
Having seperate emails can be very useful if you dont want everything to link together into a massive picture of your business, If you use paypal,you should have a different email for facebook for instance.
I think phones with internet access will make it even more likely that a person could have their passwords discovered as people tend to auto login on things like facebook and then leave their phone on the table or bag with their friends sitting around.
