The Blackberry Brigade can keep on scratching their heads and punishing themselves in general, as I present another wonderful app I have found to use with my iPhone. This one is called “AutoStitch Panorama” and stitches together ANY series of pics that you take (up, down, and all around). And it is COMPLETELY automated. You […]
“Collapsing” might be a bit extreme, but recorded figures indicate complete irradication of personalised ringtones by 2016. Why, do you ask? I’ll tell you why. And it’s not because people are getting tired of cute tunes coming out of their phones. They’re just not phoning as much. This, from Fortune Magazine: A big reason consumers […]
They say it’s important to write your goals down – then they become more real and more attainable. Whilst this may be good in a business sense, some lists should perhaps never be written down. Take, for example, the case of Chris and Katie, the Asian kids whose sibling rivalry spun out of control. Read […]
Skattie.com have finally gone and done what everyone was asking for. They’ve put together a comprehensive list of South African personalities with Twitter accounts! South African Celebrities on Twitter – CLICK HERE I shouldn’t use the word “comprehensive” as the guys at Skattie have asked me to tell you to TWEET any additions to @skattielife […]
It’s taken me MANY years to think about purchases before I make them – such is the change from only child to only man. You still want the thing urgently, but ghosts of broken toys past add necessary caution to the American Express Platinum wind. This last week was a prime example. My friend, Jonty […]
Those of you who have come across the wonders of Google may will be aware of the pain I feel when someone asks a question which Google can very easily answer. I don’t know if some people believe that Google only specialises in one field… maybe they used Google once, but that was to find […]
This aricle has been brewing for some time and may have been touched on before. I remember some time ago I gave my ten cents with regards to phone calls that come in from Private Numbers – you can read about those here and here. the majority of you agreed. Today’s discussion (the comments section […]

I did the right thing and got the new iPhone 3Gs from www.digicape.co.za. Look I’ll be honest, it’s fucking amazing. Then, do you know what I did with it this morning? I’ll tell you what I did with it this morning.. I used this beast of a phone and I shot a video of the […]

Yahoo apologises for lap dancers at Taiwan Hack Day – Yahoo apologized for bringing scantily clad dancers onstage at its most recent Hack Day in Taiwan over the weekend.

Some of you might have heard your friends moaning about their 2oceansvibe surfing experience – saying that the site is “down.” You’re not alone, inter-galactic superhero, John Smit was having the same problem. But now it’s all fixed and he is 2oceansvibing again. Why? Because there is a settings problem occurring for people surfing on […]
Hey gang, Just a quick housekeeping notice. I get all sorts of emails regarding 2oceansvibe performance; things to do with big white spaces at the top of the page, errors, timeouts and God knows what else. One thing remains constant every time I ask those readers what browser they’re using – Microsoft Internet Explorer. Bad, […]
Do you have some great online ideas, but don’t know how to get them off the ground? Do you have a community you can approach to bounce ideas off and to see if those ideas really are as amazing as you think? Do you lack the resources and skills to put your ideas to the […]
I deal with a lot of geeks. But, because I’ve had a computer since the tender age of six, I can pretty much hold my own when they throw around tech jargon. Ja, the data is “corrupt,” bru. Your “server” doesn’t support “mySQL.” Ja, ja – whatever. And it gets even worse when you get […]
Those of you who have an iPod or iPhone and have delved into iTunes, would have realised quite promptly that the SA iTunes Store is nothing short of dismal. That said, you are unable to buy music you actually want to listen to, let alone the super-cool apps for your iPhone. The iTunes account […]
So a bunch of guys and girls finally had enough and got together to prove that Telkom’s Telkom “1Mb/s ADSL” lines are so low that a homing pigeon could probably deliver the data faster. So they stapled a 4Gb memory card to the pigeon’s leg and sent the same size file via Telkom Internet over […]
Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here). A large number of you would have first read about Brandon Huntley, the 31 year old white man […]
These things REALLY tweaked me when I first saw them. I used to have an extensive cassette music collection (far more than Jonty Fisher) and I couldn’t think of anything cooler to protect my iPod Nano. That’s obviously if I had an iPod Nano. But that’s not the point. The point is this: “What’s […]
I got the first season of Mad Men out from DVD Nouveau and took it back to The Muse ‘s place on Saturday arvee. I popped it into her DVD player and a message came on the screen telling me “CANNOT PLAY DVD’S FROM THIS REGION.” Which is amazing, given that the lying bastards at […]
Its called the Lasonic iPod Boombox i931. This is what they say about it: Surely the ultimate in retro chic, the Lasonic iPOD Boombox is set for imminent release at Honeyee (in black or white). The box controls your ipod in the same way as previous docks, with the addition of a […]
Do you ever struggle with your iTunes MP4 files when trying to use them with other programmes? Oh, I do. That’s why I eat Black Cat Peanut Butter. Just kidding. That’s why I did some research and found out how easy it is to convert the files from within iTunes! Seriously easy. If […]
With this whole 40 year anniversary of the moon landing vibe going on, everyone seems obsessed with the front pages of the various newspapers that were printed back in 1969. Like this little beauty from The New York Times. Wow! Click here for an even better front page Which is great and all […]
Pattie Maes from Media Lab gave this TED talk, regarding a new invention/development they’re working on called “Sixth Sense.” Before we get to the video, I thought I’d fill you in on the vibe. ‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use […]
Please enjoy the first result in Google when I searched for “Roger Federer” DURING the Wimbledon Final. Quite mean! That was the first result – The LIVE SCORE of the game. That’s pretty damn impressive! There are loads of other tricks that you can pull with Google’s search box. You can use it […]
Those of you with iPhone 3G phones should be aware that it it high time you upgraded your software. The new software finally lets you copy and paste, forward sms’s, send MMS messages, as well letting you use flip the keyboard sideways when texting. There are loads of other things it fixes, but those ones […]
Cape Town suffers from late night drunk texts just as much (possibly a tad more) as the rest of the world. You know the ones. When you wake up in the morning and see a string of “WHERE ARE YOU???” texts and booty calls from various girls and boys, sent at 3am. Or, should I […]
It’s a basic concept which I’m surprised they (brands) haven’t used before. Using ignorant famous people in an ad, who clearly don’t understand the technology on display, but, simultaneously, demonstrating it to the viewers/readers! Please enjoy Ozzy Osbourne with the new Samsung Alias 2 – whatever that is. Did you enjoy the second […]
One of the down sides about having Google AdSense ads displayed on one’s website is they have a mind of their own. And by “down” sides, I mean “hilarious” sides. How Google AdSense works, is the code which produces the ad actually reads your webpage and will publish an ad depending on the content – […]
