Unless you are pretty keen on bestiality that is. The United States of Shame is the internet’s latest creation of aggregated data, and serves up the statistical shameful speciality of each state. For exampple, North Dakota has, statistically-speaking, the highest rate of ugly people in America. Shame.
LA Noire is Grand Theft Auto in 1940s Los Angeles. Awesome. Well, Rockstar have announced a release date for my fellow nerds and I and provided a new trailer to accompany it. The countdown to the latest sandboxing, abuse-hurling, road-raging and gun-slinging title is on and we have the trailer for you right after the jump. On dad.
Keep your shirt on. No really, keep it on. Apparently people start undressing in the presence of TV’s nip and tuck butcher hoping he’ll dish out some advice. Thankfully this didn’t happen at the Houghton Golf Estate Saturday night where he spoke to some plastic fans. The well-mannered crowd did hang onto his lips though. Their own aching for a refill.
I mean, obviously not all of them. And I’d be surprised if any of them were here. But still, there exist about 20 bus shelters in San Francisco with touch screens installed by Yahoo! The most surprising thing about that sentence is that Yahoo! is still doing things.
Okay, now a revelation: I have a degree in Information Science. So there, now you know. Here I leap out of the nerd closet and admit that I have a thing for cool tech projects and nothing I have ever seen is as cool as this. Just take a moment of your life to watch this video from Make Magazine and you’ll be amazed.
The American coffee giant Starbucks announced this week that customers with iPhone and Blackberry smartphones can now download an application to purchase their daily fix. The app will display a bar code that the barista can scan and voila, off you go. How much longer until cards are rendered obsolete?
The US, China state visit was always going to be a tricky affair. They speak different languages and good translators are so hard to find these days. Nevertheless, they met. Things were off to a good enough start but got testy when Obama straight up told the Chinese head of state they should do something about their human rights record. Whether he heard ‘human’ rights we’ll never know.
It’s weird to think that if you do the right thing between now and tomorrow, you might be playing with your brand new Netbook before the weekend – courtesy of MWEB and 2oceansvibe Radio! But it’s all up to you! The big question is, can you follow simple instructions? Ready? Here we go! How to […]
This is sort of cool and sort of awful. Jozi thieves have stripped about 400 ‘high-tech traffic lights’ of their sim cards, modems and GPS systems, using the sim cards to make unlimited free phone calls. It will cost about R8,8 million to replace these fancy, legitimately robot-like traffic lights. Regular GPS-free traffic lights are unaffected.
Deep inside a homing pigeon’s head is a detector cell that picks up the earth’s magnetic field and sends it straight to its destination. No hardware, no software – just a natural sense of position for thousands of kilometres. I know people who get lost in malls where they have lit up maps on eye level. Are pigeons smarter than us? I’m beginning to think so.
A bunch of Japanese scientists (how surprising) believe they have the technology to clone a woolly mammoth. Yes, you heard that right, they want to bring an extinct animal back to life, and are hoping to achieve this within the next six years. End of days here we come.
While the rest of his classmates were off investing their time in real pursuits, like playing the latest video games and surfing the internet for free porn, Robert Nay was developing the single most popular free app for the Apple iPhone.
If you’re big into conspiracy theories about how the United Stated government spends its time covering up the dastardly deeds that it commits, perhaps it’s time for a rethink. It appears that the US government can’t even keep secret their plan to stop their secrets from getting leaked.
A laboratory in Israel is spending its research grant on the very creepy task of harvesting the tears of sad women. According to Shani Gelstein, scientist and tear collector, men found pictures of women less sexually attractive just after smelling the tears of women.
A Philippino politician may have been among the first people in the world to die in 2011, but that’s not even the most remarkable part of the story. Reynaldo Dagsa of Calacoon City had been woken by his family just in time to celebrate the New Year with them on the street, where fireworks were on display. Moments later, his life ended.
Katy Perry is widely regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful women. Russell Brand has shattered that perception. There really is something to be said for the argument that social media should not breach the boundaries of a man and wife’s marriage bed. Click the link to see what I’m talking about.
A software glitch in the iPhone 4 has rendered its alarm useless since New Year’s Day. The latest reports indicate the glitch has not yet been fixed amid fears many iPhone fanatics are teetering on the edge of a coma. If you know someone with an iPhone 4, give them a call. They need you right now.
I’m not sure if you caught the live financial indicators on the right-hand side of the page, but the Rand is absolutely KILLING it against the US Dollar. At the current rate, I’m renting movies from the US iTunes store at R26 a shot – and some of them haven’t even hit the circuit here in SA. Let me show you how.
Better put this one on your New Year’s resolution list: Don’t follow Ricky Romance, make sure he’s not following you and if you see them recommend you follow him – delete your twitter account. Watch him hand out twitter tips and a death threat to Chris Brown after some particularly nasty exchanges in 140 characters or less.
One of the great mysteries of Apple’s design engineers is their fetish for omitting critical data sharing infrastructure from their beautiful mind babies creations. The iPad is equiped with a wonderfully tactile touch screen, brilliant clarity, and the same aesthetic simplicity that Apple has made it’s own, the iPad lacks a USB port.
Well the proof certainly is in the pudding, as reports show over 5,000 downloads of the 2oceansvibe app, in just over a month. It works out to about 65 downloads a day, which confirms that we’re on the right track.
So we just want to thank you for that and we promise to keep growing and delivering more of the content, chat and music that you really want to listen to!
Google’s logo mutations are mostly spot on. For Easter they gooi some bunnies. When there’s pumpkins and draculas you know it’s Halloween. Bobsleds, Winter Olympics. It’s not always pretty but most times it makes sense so what in the name of everything holy, clear and sacred do our friends over at Google mean by this one?
We reported earlier that the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village website had been subject to a hack by a member of the XtremeRoot.net educational hacking site, who went by the name of Legacy123. Legacy123’s hack has since been hacked, by someone using the cypher K141, and they’re not friendly.
The Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village’s website was hacked this morning by someone using the cypher “Legacy123”. Legacy left a cheery little Christmas note for the Cape Quarter Website admins, and a link to an offensive security hacking forum, xtremeroot.net. The Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village is the home of 2oceansvibe Radio’s studios.
Past KFM listeners can take a stroll down memory lane this morning as Seth Rotherham and Rich Hardiman find themselves on-air with none other than the former ‘voice of Cape Town’ – Nic Marais. We’ll also be chatting to Crazy White Boy about their music success, as well as Kate and La Muse about this […]
Walt Disney will be clicking his heels in his grave. Japanese scientists have, by promoting the miscopying of DNA from mice to their progeny, randomly produced a mouse that sings very much like a bird. So what are we aiming for here? Mouse servants? Mouse message couriers? No, not even remotely.
I wanted to ease off telling you about all the amazing things my new MINI Countryman can do, as I didn’t want you to get MINI-lash. But damnit it’s hard to do that when a music video started playing on my iPhone (I had it on random) and it appeared on the dashboard. Come on […]
I know – it’s December, you’ve got this big pseudo-Christian consumerist monolith being forced down every available orifice imploring you to spend more money on This New Shiny Thing, and maybe you’re a little sick of that right now. I understand that. But believe me when I say that this is a freaking awesome advert.
Pakistan’s relations with the U.S. were talked up pretty heavily in the latest Cablegate leaks; further, false leaks with heavy anti-Indian sentiment were spread around the country by major national newspapers. So it’s nice to see the Pakistani advertisers make the most of an awkward situation.
Increasingly it seems like Assange is proving to be a bigger story than the cables he most recently to be released – HiLoBrow artist, Joe Alterio, tries to put that right with his series of illustrations paired with the more bizarre political activities revealed in the latest batch of Wikileak cables. Expect dirty dancing and ninja assassins.
