Comet sale, Fighting Fantasy and bionic hands in Podcast 313

"He's more machine now than man," Obi-Wan Kenobi said -- and that sounds kinda cool to us. We're not talking about turning to the dark side, but we are fascinated by bionic hands.

And we're waxing nostalgic about Fighting Fantasy as we check out a new documentary on Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, the men behind the legendary game books.

Join the CNET UK team as we turn to page 400 and roll the dice to discuss the Comet fire sale and the rest of the week's technology news. We assess the possibility of a Microsoft mash-up Xbox Surface gaming tablet, and lament the passing of our teenage years online chatting to girls we were too scared to talk to in real life as Microsoft Messenger is killed off.

And we turn to you, esteemed listener, for your feedback. Why are phone networks so stingy with data? Is it worth getting the Nexus 4 on a contract? And which is better: prawn cocktail or smoky bacon?
