12 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Some years ago I made my way over to mud island, London specifically, and one thing I always appreciated was not having to rush to the bank on a Saturday morning just because that was the way things were. This is surely good for banking in South Africa and a giant leap toward getting Saturday mornings back.

Okay, calm down. Step away from the water cooler. The office gossip can wait. Come sit down over here, and read this. Men, and empowered women. It’s 2011.

Naked News Comes To South Africa
09 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Man, I’m not sure how to feel about this – I mean Naked News has been a thing worldwide for a while now, and it’s great that SA’s catching on to the idea of having attractive news anchors strip while letting you know what’s up on NASDAQ. Nevertheless, ultimately this is basically a way of subscribing to see folk naked on the internet.

An Idea Worth Tabling
03 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
With all the talk of events in London over the past week, I couldn’t help but feel slightly nostalgic for my halcyon days in the UK. Weekends in Europe, snakebites, wild nights at the Met Bar, Pimms, Linen suits, boat races – my, they were good days. Not the weather, mind, but the first world nature of it all.

28 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
German actress Antje Traue has been cast as ‘Faora,’ villainous accomplice to the no-less-ridiculous-sounding Zod in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot. Since we’re now assured at least one slow-motion high-definition Traue scene, the reboot might be worth looking at, Snyder notwithstanding.

This new feature will be available to all Facebook users and it’s been designed to make sharing easier, and a little more private. Its social networking architecture will work best with Facebook’s Groups function that was introduced last October, but don’t expect it to make streamlined advertising any harder either.
