For some reason, we think it’s a good idea to give our pets ‘edible treats’ that they wouldn’t naturally find in the wild. That’s not to say that we should treat our pets like wild animals, but, you know, don’t give your dog a milkshake. In a new pet-treat controversy that has sparked outrage across the States, hundreds of pets have been dying after eating a ‘beef jerky treat’ that was made in china.

I hope these guys know that the average internet speed in the Czech Republic is around 20MB per second, which comes uncapped every month for about R300. MWeb just happens to be one of those companies attempting to trick us into thinking that we have it good – but when they promised two internet users an “uncapped” bundle that wasn’t actually uncapped, the gig was up.
You or someone you know has a silver car, right? Silver has been the world’s favourite car colour for more than a decade now. Why? Well, presumably because it offers a nice trade-off; you get the flash and allure of a precious metal, without going full-on gold and looking like someone in a mid-life crisis. So why move away from silver, everyone?

Facebook’s suits are losing their minds over a small app developer in the States who developed a service with a unique selling point of limiting a user’s time on the social network. Break Your Facebook is a self-help tool of sorts, which aides in weaning otherwise-busy GenY-yuppies from social media addiction, freeing up time for work or, you know, real life.

Woah! Instagram just got serious. No more selfies. No more sunsets – we’re talking guns baby. Instagram has made no official rule outlawing the sale of guns on their platform, so guy buyers or sellers can just scroll away on their smartphones, and they might as well be in Steve Hofmeyr’s basement.
No doubt you’re well aware that South Africa is in search of redemption after being on the receiving end of a drubbing in the first test against Pakistan. In that spirit, the proteas have started the second test strongly, getting Pakistan all out for 99 runs. And get this, Imran Tahir picked up five wickets for 32 runs. Mental. Get up to speed with the highlights, here.
Steve Jobs was an entrepreneur, a pioneer and a creative genius. This is the iconic Jobs we know from the media, yet we only know half the story.

Officials working at graveyard in Cincinnati were shocked one morning when they were made aware of a new gravestone that was placed in the yard – a 7-foot cement statue of Spongebob Squarepants. The gravestone of Iraq War Veteran, Kimberley Walker, was carved to look like a massive Spongebob wearing an army uniform with her name and rank on it.
For some reason, people living in big international cities like London or Milan are way better at taking advantage of sales than we are. People have been known to queue overnight for sales, but here, okes don’t seem to notice that top-quality (more importantly, brand new) clothes are being given away for next to nothing.
We all remember Jeniffer Lawrence from The Hunger Games, right? You know, Jeniffer Lawrence. The girl-next-door who made it big and wouldn’t talk to a normal guys like us anymore. Just how big did she make it? Face of Dior big – she’s stepping into a role that was played by the likes of Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman before her.
We cannot actually believe this – it’s almost too good. The creator of Baywatch is making a rescue-style show in Cape Town, except this time, instead of the Hoff in trunks, we have the Dolph in a FIREMAN’S COSTUME. It’s. Too. Great.

It’s not often that you find a video clip of a rapper that besmirches his gangsta image. But some brave soul recently leaked a video of 50 Cent auditioning for a role in Denzel Washington’s 2007 drama, American Gangster – a movie about drug kingpin Frank Lucas and his rise to power.
The more time we spend on the internet, the more we realise that the whole point of the internet is to display cats and dogs at their funniest. No, seriously now, we all spend a large portion of our internet time on pets – admit it. With that being said, we found a gallery of high-speed photographs of dogs shaking water off their faces.
Ag, nee man. Apparently, acting crime intelligence boss, Chris Ngcobo, has been put on “special leave” after it emerged that he may just have lied all over his CV. Now, our previous crime intelligence boss, Richard Mdluli, had to leave because of a few charges of fraud, corruption and murder – you know – the usual stuff. And when Ngcobo was appointed to replace the hapless Mdluli, national police commissioner Riah Phiyega said he would bring “stability in the police intelligence environment”. Okay, good one.
There are a fair few of us who had not lived to see Manchester United managed by anyone other than Sir Alex Ferguson until the beginning of this season. The man is a legend – and like any legend, his post-retirement book is set to be cracker full of insider gossip. The man has got 26 years of pent-up issues, and he’s letting them all slide in his new hardcover. Here are some of the things we learned from his book.
Just imagine a situation where he comes home to his stunning lady, drops his boots on the floor and says,”Honey, I want to make underwear for boys.” Really? Anyway, regardless of his motivations for starting the line, the real beauty here is the tweet he sent out last night about a competition for his new CR7 boys underwear.
“The White Widow” – or, as we have come to know her, “that lady who forged a South African Passport and then masterminded the Nairobi mall massacre” has apparently written a poem in praise of Osama Bin Laden. Investigators had a bit of a peep through her computer, and found this cute little ditty that was dedicated to the worlds most wanted man.
It’s Christmas time again for the Apple family. And despite the fact that Apple’s launch events are now missing the engaging marketing savvy that only Steve Jobs could bring, Steve Cook gave an impressive performance at Apple’s annual iPad Fall Event – where he casually unveiled a whole host of new Apple products and software. Obviously, the headliner of the show was the new iPad Air – Cook managed to cover a whole lot more in a presentation that lasted over an hour.

Activists are calling for the implementation of murder charges against police on the scene of the Marikana massacre on 16 August 2012.
