The New Macbook Pro 15″ Retina – Let’s Have That Chat

I’m not going to bore you with promo-speak and some kind of sales pitch. I’m going to give it to you straight – so listen up – please, it’s important. The long-time reading 2oceansvibers out there will know that I converted over to Apple Mac a few years ago and I swore never to go […]

The 2oceansvibe Family – Like The Skulls, But Friendlier

We got this heartwarming report from 2oceansviber, Carryn Ortlepp over the weekend. Some people forget to mention they are 2oceansvibers when they use our partners, like Digicape. You really should make a special effort to name drop when you’re around one of our brand partners – this is the kind of stuff that goes down.

New Macbook Pro: Digicape Taking Pre-Orders

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 […]

iPHONE 4 VS. HTC

There has been so much press about the new iPhone 4 and its various pros and cons, that I doubt I need to educate you about them. The point is that people who have had the last two or three iPhones don’t give a toss about anything but owning the new one. And that includes […]

THE END OF FM RADIO

I was browsing the overseas newspapers on my iPad and spotted something on the front page of yesterday’s Daily Telegraph in the UK. Check it out – bottom right: With the launch of 2oceansvibe Radio, I am naturally drawn to articles like this – especially when they’re on the front page. Really interesting stuff here […]

“FAT BOOTH” iPHONE APP – NOW THIS IS GOOD!

There are a lot of iPhone apps out there and, as much as I would like to focus on all of them, my attention has been fully diverted to the new kid on the my block, the iPad. By the way, did I tell you that I subscribed to 12 issues of Wallpaper magazine for […]

GUCCI iPAD COVERS

I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard. Look at me, being all detailed and informative, like I’m not on my […]

24 APOLLO WAY KICKS OFF SA’S GOOGLE STREET VIEW HILARITIES

I featured the all new Google Maps Street View vibe the other day (on the iPad nogal), and, whilst I was able to show you some of 2oceansvibe’s favourtie landmarks, I’ve been DYING to get some roadside funnies captured by the Google Street View cameras. Finally, 24 Apollo Road in Ocean View, just outside Kommetjie, […]

TIME MAGAZINE OIL SPILL PICTURE

Those of you following 2oceansvibe on Twitter would have seen this yesterday. You see, I was rubbing my new iPad against my body and accidentally opened up the TIME Magazine app. It’s a much celebrated iPad app and you can see why. This pic was captured as one of their five best pics of the […]

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SETH’S CAPE ROYALE PENTHOUSE..

All protocol was relaxed as we granted one photographer and virtual-tour expert (Panascape) unprecedented access to my suite at the Cape Royale hotel. As it is my primary residence, you can imagine what intimate never-seen-before details were caught on camera. The virtual tour itself let’s you cruise around the Cape Royale hotel (spinning 360 degrees […]

USE YOUR IPHONE GPS TO FIND THE NEAREST CINEMA – WELL DONE NAVIFLIX!

“They” come out with hundreds of thousands of new apps every month and, very often, they’re rubbish – often making use of some of the iPhones hardware unnecessarily. Not this time. I found this little gem which will be very handy for our 2010 WC visitors wanting to take a break and catch a flick. […]

GOOGLE STREET VIEW FOR CAPE TOWN GOES LIVE!

You can only imagine the zone you can get into, listening to some vinyl, with a joint in one hand and your new iPad in the other – on the day that Google Maps goes live with “Google Street View” for Cape Town. My God, I have traipsed every square inch of this city, all […]

SETH 1, GOLDFISH 1

I sent the incredibly awesome “Drummer Guy” video to Dom (The Blonde) and Dave (Baby Jesus) of Goldfish fame, before I put it up on 2oceansvibe the other day. I emailed it to them with the subject, “a gift for you – thank me later.” They responded that it was, indeed, genius. So today, Dom […]

THE POWER OF THE TWEET

My buddy Shaun Trennery over at Izimvo sent me a link yesterday about something called the “Air Display,” which is a wonderful app for my new iPad (Digicape smartly gave me a test unit, before they hit our shores – so be sure to pre-book yours!). Shaun obviously caught my barrage of tweets, as I […]

THE LATEST USEFUL TWITTER TOOL – I CALL IT “TWITURES”

Check it out, there’s this new website that is linked to Twitter. It’s called “Twitures” and it let’s you just look at just the pictures of a specific user. See what they did there with the name? Pictures on Twitter = “Twitures.” Good one.. Here is a screenshot if you go to the 2oceansvibe Twiture […]

LOUIS VUITTON HELPS US PREPARE FOR THE iPAD

I am getting pretty excited about my new iPad which will be in my hands in a couple of weeks. With that in mind, I found myself browsing the net for accessories. Needless to say, Louis Vuitton have come up trumps with their range of iPad covers. Just LOOK at these beauties! I would probably […]

SETH ROTHERHAM HAS LEFT THE BUILDING – RESIDING IN PROVENCE FOR A MONTH

My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]

2OCEANSVIBE ON THE NEW APPLE iPAD

It’s ironic that Cokey Falkow and I were talking about the iPad during Friday’s 2oceansvibe Radio Show; and then, not 48 hours later, a 2oceansviber sent the first documented picture of 2oceansvibe being read on the iPad – with Cokey Falkow appearing in the top article! Congratulations Deán Stassen! 2oceansvibe.com is VERY at home on […]

MWEB UNCAPPED BROADBAND – LET’S HAVE THAT CHAT
