There are actually two massive stories here, but I didn’t want to litter that headline. You’re here now anyway, right? Exactly. Well listen to this – not only was the Euromillions lottery won this weekend (£121 million jackpot = R1.3 billion), but the US Mega Millions lottery (coincidentally posting an equally rare jackpot of $312 […]
A Russian man has just been sentenced for hacking into one of the video billboards around Moscow and looping a porn video over it. The best part of all is that someone managed to capture a video of the event. You know you want to see it.
It was a matter of time before the wristwatch had its biggest redesign moment since the croc-like invasion of the big-faced bling disaster that took hold and made hipster fashion designers rich. Smart watches are on their way, but there’s one feature we’d include in ours, if we designed these things, which we don’t.
This has been generating some online discussion – a video of a dude hijacking billboards in Times Square using an iPhone 4, a transmitter, a balloon and some tape, like a geeky MacGyver. The feeling at the moment is that this is a publicity stunt, but if so it’s an awesome-looking stunt.
It’s a special special time, my friends. Sure, the iPhone 4 launch was epic and the launch of the iPad was verging on orgasmic. But, come on – a whole new range of Macbook Pros? Mmm – just when you thought you were happy, Apple and Digicape raise the bar even further. Do yourself a […]
It’s basically what everyone’s wanted for most of their lives – a radio show which let’s you tweet a message with your song request. Then it gets played live on air and the DJ reads out your name and whatever ‘shout-out’ you might want to give. It’s too easy! Send your request to @2ovfm and […]
This is good news, because I don’t think Apple is likely to issue us such a momentous tease without something substantial in the works. The original iPad went on sale on 3 April 2010, suggesting that the timing of the 2 March event would work with the annual cycle of launching the newer version of the product.
This guy is so amped for you to join him when he runs the Tokyo Marathon that he has constructed something called the iRig. It contains four iPhones, an Android, an iPad, three wireless routers, a weather station, a heart rate monitor, and a mock satellite dish up on his head.
One of the classic moments during last night’s U2 concert at Cape Town stadium was when Bono and Yvonne Chaka Chaka covered the classic Ben E. King hit, “Stand by me.” The whole also sang along. We managed to catch the moment on video camera. Follow the link to check it out!
Everybody is talking about the start of U2’s concert, which had Bono waxing lyrical about Cape Town and South Africa. But then he went for a pretty cool vibe and compared each band member to a wild animal. “What manner of exotic creature do we have here” was hilarious (for The Edge)! Then Bono called […]
Had a simply marvelous time last night at the U2 concert in Cape Town. Here is a killer panoramic pic taken using my iPhone 4 (thanks Digicape) and the Autostitch app. Sadly I wasn’t quick enough to get pics of the chick cat-fight that occured in fromt of me, but those of you who caught […]

Yes, I know, me and everybody’s grandma used ‘there’s an app for that’ as the headline, but that’s because me and everybody’s grandma have an awesome sense of humour. New York’s Health Department released a smartphone app for finding free condom distribution points via GPS on Monday.
The Edge stays cool, as Bono gives it horns [source:timeslive] U2 Wows Crowd In Johannesburg – “With a roar that could rival the one seen last week in Tahrir square, Cairo, (huh?) fans at the FNB Stadium last night gave U2 a rousing welcome. But unlike the relief of Egyptians at President Hosni Mubarak’s exit […]
Nokia is in a bad place right now. Ten years ago they led the cellular telephone market. In a time when the division of origin between hardware and software one one device was not concievable, Nokia led the pack with hardy engineering and familiar, easy to use operating systems. They’ve since suffered a catastrophic drop in sales and creativity. They’ve finally lost all points of market leadership that they used to hold. And their new CEO, Stephen Elop, has just given the whole company a literary ass-kicking. Check out his fire and brimstone company memo after the jump.
