03 Jan 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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.

The iPad2 Catches Up With Basic Computer Technology – Incorporates A USB Port
30 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

16 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I’ll be honest, it HAS been on my mind. I mean, everyone goes on about battery-life and camera quality and storage space and keyboard use and reception, when everyone is actually, consciously skirting around the real issue at hand – how do they handle on a braai grid?

I Lost My iPad – Oh Dear God
27 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
I went to bed the other night and suddenly realised that I hadn’t seen my iPad for a couple of days. It wasn’t in the Safe House, so I got out of bed, went to the garage and searched my car and my Vespa – nothing! It gradually dawned on me that I might not have seen my iPad since the Tuesday of that same week – on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town (a Kulula flight, no less). Oh my good Lord, what had I done?

iPHONE 4 VS. HTC
12 Aug 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
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 […]

Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery.

10 Jun 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
“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.
