Weekly Roundup #6: Comet landings, autonomous motorbikes, and Kim Kardashian’s butt

Welcome to our Weekly Roundup, our weekly podcast that discusses tech trends, innovation and news. Joining this podcast edition are Burn Media writers Steven Norris, Stuart Thomas, Andy Walker and Jacques Coetzee.

This week we’ve probably seen one of humanity’s greatest scientific achievements — after ten years of traveling through space, the Philae drone finally landed on a comet courtesy of the Rosetta spacecraft and ESA’s ingenuity.

We also chat about the potential of autonomous motorbikes as well as (strangely enough) autonomous horses. Stuart Thomas asks the question why no one is talking about the potential for this untouched technology.

Departing Gearburn editor Steven Norris also gives us his thoughts on the Blackberry Passport. He even goes so far as to say that it might just be the best phone he’s ever had, even though it doesn’t really fit into your everyday jeans’ pocket. Catch the review on Gearburn here.

The discussion is aptly rounded-off talking about US socialite and celebrity Kim Kardashian and her butt, of course, pointing out that there was probably more buzz about her behind than there were about the comet landing.

Hooray, humanity. Hooray.
