Just when you thought you were safe, someone goes and straps a bomb to your rich neighbours daughter. No really. This is exactly what happened to an unfortunate 18-year old girl in the wealthy suburb of Mosman in Sydney, Australia. Somebody call Bruce Willis.
I was amused when I read that the article we published yesterday about Internet Explorer users having a lower average IQ than users of other browsers was a hoax. Not because I dislike IE users, but because this would have been the push they needed to, explore other browsers. Unfortunately though, sometimes global news agencies do get it wrong.
Only a surfer knows the feeling. It’s a saying that has been reserved for that rush of sheer exhilaration as you catch the perfect wave into shore, that moment of blinding truth that connects you with nature – that driving force that motivates you to get up early and break the ice. For Bethany Hamilton […]
Matt Damon and his mom – a teacher – recently took part in a public march to support educators. But during a television interview a cameraman of all people decided to pipe up, claiming that “10% of teachers are bad at their job.” Matt wasn’t having anyone potentially insult his mother and responded with: “Maybe you’re a shitty cameraman!” Cute, man!
A 31-year-old Swedish man, known only as ‘Richard’, was attempting to build a nuclear reactor in his kitchen and was arrested and had his experiment shut down after he contacted the Swedish Radiation Authority (Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten) to ask whether or not his pet project was legal.
2oceansvibe is all about giving. If we’re not giving you relevant, original and imaginative stories, then we’re giving things away. Great things, which improve your life.

Forget history lessons, interesting facts, supermarket choices, hints of vanilla, toasted oak or residual sugar;. Let’s be honest, for most people the only reason they want to learn anything about wine – past the operation of a corkscrew – is so they don’t look like a tit.
There are all sorts of Women’s Day specials flying around at the moment. That’s why I wanted you to check out this particular vibe! So cool!
At least that’s what Mike and Jim at Research In Motion would have the industry believe. RIM is expected to launch several new BlackBerry devices today in a desperate effort to win back its market share, particularly in North America.
Italy has become the next European country to join the wave of nations banning women from wearing veils that cover their faces in public. An Italian parliamentary commission has approved a draft law prohibiting women from wearing a burqa, niqab or any other garment that covers the face in public places.
Developing Story A light helicopter flipped on its roof on UCT’s Middle Campus early this morning. Injuries or deaths are as yet unknown. Confirmed reports are that a photographer and the pilot survived the crash unharmed. More pics, and audio after the jump!
Look, no one likes a flash mob, so try to refrain from breaking down our doors tomorrow, okay? One of the world’s most universally popular comics, Pablo Francisco, will be live on 2oceansVibe Radio‘s Morning Meeting tomorrow morning at 10h30. Be sure to tweet us your song requests and any questions you have for Pablo. […]
Vilnius is the capitol city of Lithuania – a place where they feel very strongly about cars wrongly parked in specifically allocated bicycle lanes. In this clip the city’s mayor, Arturas Zuokas, can be seen literally crushing an “illegally parked” luxurious blue Mercedes – with an armored vehicle!
Rupert Murdoch Pie Thrower Jailed – Jonathan May-Bowles, known by his comedy stage name of Jonnie Marbles, looked stunned as he stood motionless in the dock before turning towards the cells and grinned at supporters in the public gallery. May-Bowles, 26, of Windsor, had pleaded guilty to a breach of the peace and common assault when […]
Clear your schedule this Friday afternoon. You, 2oceansVibe Radio and Jack Daniels are going to the movies. Why? Because everyone, at some point in their lives, has bunked work or school by going to the movies. And Jack Friday means you don’t work on Friday afternoons. Listen up. We have FIFTY double movie tickets to […]
This feels like it should have been news sooner, but it wasn’t. Which is why we’re going to talk about it now. Hege Dalen and wife Toril Hansen were one of several Norwegians who, on hearing gunshots and screaming coming from Utöyan Island, got into their boat and drove across the water to try and help.
GM’s Electric Networked-Vehicle (EN-V), the pod-shaped hands-free electric vehicle unveiled last year, is set for release soon. Confined to metropolitan areas, we should be able to live out our Jetsons inspired fantasies a little sooner than we’d planned, once GPS technology catches up a little.
The future is officially nuts. It’s getting to a point where stuff like this probably won’t shock you anymore. It should. Be shocked. These robo-seals, called ‘Paro’, not only bring comfort to recovering Japanese tsunami patients, they also sing, clap, and even take part in the residents daily exercise routines.
A study, and a fairly quantitative one, is suggesting that the dinner conversation talk I think some of us may have had about the average Internet Explorer user may be true. AptiQuant offered free online IQ tests to over 100 000 people and then plotted the average IQ scores based on the browser on which the test was taken.
An official iPad app for Skype has been pulled mere hours after being made available for free via the iTunes Store. No specific reason was given, except for a Skype tweet claiming the release was “premature.” Awkward.
What I love most about touring car championships is that they germinated the idea of the basic pocket rocket in the public mind. Think of the glory days of British touring car championships – would they have been the same without the plucky Mark II Mini bouncing about the track, holding its own against magnificent Jaguars and brutal American Ford Mustangs? Would our idea of a fun hatchback be the same if it wasn’t for touring car championships?
You’re going to want to watch this. OK Go have put out a new experimental music video for their new track, All Is Not Lost. You remember that one video with the treadmills? Or with the Rube Goldberg machine? Yeah, this is better than that.
The CBS channel in the US has an online presence, which runs all of it’s programming “online.” One of the shows was shot in Cape Town by these guys who cruise around the world. 2oceansviber Justin mailed us asking the question, “is that The TBG at the 05:29 mark?” Well, Justin, we’ve checked out the […]
An Iranian woman who was blinded by a man who threw acid in her face seven years ago prevented the Iranian government from literally taking “an eye for and eye”.
By 09h00 this morning, Gautrain announced it had already transported 7 000 passengers on the new route between Johannesburg and Pretoria, which opened today. The long-awaited second phase of the Gautrain will enable jaded Gauteng commuters to jump on a train between Hatfield and Rosebank stations, and then travel via bus to their destination.
It’s time to dust off the old cheque book and keep an eye on what’s happening in Greece. You may just find something you want to purchase as Greek officials begin appointing advisers for the country’s ambitious privatisation drive, and what is one of the most ambitious asset-selling campaigns in modern history.
A clip of a distorted interview with a young black boy has raised questions about ethics in journalism in America. Responding to a news reporter’s question about what he’d like to be when he grows up, the boy replied: “I’m going to have me a gun! I’m going to be the police!” Guess which part of that sentence did not make it to TV?
Apple Reveals iCloud Details And Pricing – Apple posted information on its Web site Monday that offers more details about the company’s upcoming iCloud software which will sync customers content between multiple devices. iCloud will allow Apple customers to share their music, books, music and photos between multiple computers and mobile devices, including an iPhone and […]
Because robots can’t get depressed over awful working conditions and commit suicide, you see. Also we don’t have a robot union yet, so Foxconn (the guys who manufacture the iPhone and iPad) won’t need to worry about the slowly increasing factory worker wages in Taiwan, which are driving overhead costs upwards throughout the fancy-technology-making-industry.
See those tiny blocks? Each one of those is $100 million. Absolutely no spice. And that is what the United States’ debt will look like in $100 bills by Christmas this year. Click through to see the depressing, and amazing progression of how many $100 bills it takes to make a $15 trillion pile of […]
