With a bolt of lightning and leaving a twin trail of fire, the CNET UK podcast blasts through time and straight into your ears. We're super-excited about the Back to the Future shoes, and we've got a bunch of other technology news, reviews and general rubbish to feed into our Flux Capacitor.
Andy, Luke and Rich ponder how sci-fi tech has quietly snuck into our lives, from Minority Report-inspired gaming to Blade Runner umbrellas. We also take a look at the week's most desirable gadgets, including the Samsung Galaxy Note, an iPod dock that requires a stepladder, and invisible dinosaurs. Great Scott!

Back to the Future Today
The Nike Air Mag shoes from Back to the Future 2 are on eBay. And they're not the only sci-fi movie gadgets that prove we live in the future: from sliding doors to Samsung claiming 2001: A Space Odyssey invented the iPad, our everyday lives are like something out of a movie. We also find out which classic movie Andy hasn't seen this week -- and don't get Luke started on umbrellas...

This made my Monday morning much more bearable! Interesting point about Windows 8 Apps and whether you'll have to pay for them on each platform or not. I'd imagine many of the apps would lose their appeal when ported to desktop as the controls would have to be changed, so it could be just as well to rewrite the app entirely as iOS developers do.
