As South Africa is only starting to properly get into online dating, these recent stats and figures out of the US tell an amazing tale. In particular, it is very interesting to note that the gender split is nearly 50/50. That, and the fact that it is a bigger industry than porn! Now that’s impressive! […]
I found this tool called Flight Track and I used it to keep an eye on The Muse’s flying progress during her recent trip to and from Dubai and Hong Kong. You load it up and simply input the flight number and date of departure. Then BOOM! : How rad is that!? – It tells […]
That’s How It Is regulars would have caught my contributing story which was published a week ago. Now I’ve said a lot in the past about phone etiquette and how one should roll if one truly wants to live the holiday. So I put together a final say on the matter, we you might find […]
A big welcome to the Griffin laptop stand, which raises the book to where I need it – thus improving my posture. And then, just for kicks, try out the wireless (my bru) keyboard and mouse below. Just to further improve your vibe. And that mouse, that’s not a normal mouse. You can swipe your […]

As with many other 2oceansvibe articles which rank well in Google, it is interesting to note that our old article about the iStore and Core not caring for your business is not only number 1 in Google for the search phrase “waterfront istore,” but also the far more broader search phrase, “cape town istore .” […]
It’s like this the whole time when I don’t cruise with a BlackBerry. Things like this panoramic photograph which I took and stitched on my iPhone, happen the whole freaking time! Go to Newlands. Field looks awesome. What a vibe. Want to capture it. Hey, should I capture it with my free internet access, or […]
Look, there’s a time and place for phone calls. YOU just don’t seem to get it. Unexpected or unplanned phone calls are slowly but surely becoming the new anti-social smoking. People are starting to realise that the more accessible we have become, the less time we have to ourselves and the more intrusive every phone […]
With an organic Google Number 1 position for the search phrase “waterfront istore,” one could expect that an article we published 9 months ago is still receiving comments on almost a daily basis.

The long awaited, highly anticipated iPad The most important thing in my mind today is the launch of the new Apple iPad. There is so much to cover and, as usual with all things tech, Gizmodo is the first choice in tech coverage. They have tackled it from so many angles, I’ve chosen my […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
