2oceansvibe can exclusively reveal the South African launch date of the highly anticipated iPad Air.
Don’t you just hate it when people use their cellphones to make calls? You’re not alone. A new study by Mobility 24 shows that voice calls are in decline, especially amongst the youngsters.
Judging from initial reviews, it looks as if the iPad Air is just as much a massive leap from the iPad as the MacBook Air was to the Macbook.

Obviously, the headliner of the show was the new iPad Air – Cook managed to cover a whole lot more in a presentation that lasted over an hour.

Once you’ve heard that beautiful empty Trash icon sound, do you know where all your old deleted creations actually go? Do they simply disappear, or do they go to the same place your socks go when they go missing? Truth is, it’s a little bit more complex than you thought. If you thought that the files […]
This started it all. This Apple-1 designed and developed by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and currently owned by Ted Perry is being auctioned at Christie’s. Get your bid in.
Apple came under fire for overseas production in May of this year. It took them exactly one month to respond with this TVC, which was launched in tandem with the unveling of the new Mac operating system, now named for the world-famous California surf spot, Mavericks (no relation).

I have just settled down next to the heated pool. This after a game of tennis, some brekkie and a 10 minute steam followed by a shower. Things could be worse. How other hotels can claim to be 5-stars, I don’t know.

A lot of cool kids are getting their iPhone 5s at the moment. I got mine (64gb) on Monday from Digicape and G-Man got his yesterday (his first iPhone since the 3). We both went for the white over the black. This is why: 1) The black iPhone 5 is highly susceptible to scuff and […]

Seriously – there hasn’t been a magazine cover that has ticked all the boxes like the latest Tatler magazine cover. Just look at the broad-brushstrokes topics mentioned on the cover.
