Facebook has been valued at more than $50 billion, which is more than Time Warner. Justin Timberlake probably thinks that’s really cool. The Great Folly Of Zuckerberg cracked the 50 billion mark after raising $500 million in investment from Goldman Sachs, and a Russian company called Digital Sky.
Joost van der Westhuizen’s role-model reputation in South Africa is shot to pieces. The man must be acutely aware of that fact, because you don’t just waltz into a toy store and drop forty grand on toys for homeless children without either checking with your book keeper, or your PR agent, first.
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.

Christians everywhere, present company included, are feeling various levels of indignity, ranging from mild irksomeness to apoplectic rage, and they’re directing those emotions toward the much beloved BBC television show, Top Gear.

The woman who inspired the Rosie The Riveter/”We Can Do It” WWII allied propaganda poster, Geraldine Doyle, has died at 86 years of age. After WWII, the poster became a feminist standard for independent womanhood. And girl mechanics.
The revolutionary new system was first tested in Braamfontein and will now be rolled out to the rest of the city. The city council and metro police will promptly reconvene in the board room to brainstorm places people can walk other than sidewalks. The side of the road will not be considered as this is already reserved for parking.
That headline is not misleading in any way. After inventing the game, and then being beaten at it by almost every one of your former colonies, the English regained a small measure of cricketing pride by spanking the Australian cricket team at the MCG. It took all of fifteen minutes to squander their new found dignity.
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.

It’s a special thing, to nail down what is potentially the last TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) sighting of 2010. And what better way to do it than in a place that eclipses his serene beauty and majesty – Kirstenbosch Gardens. And hey, it’s no secret that the TBG once had an affair with Mother Nature. […]

I’m writing this at a golf course, pre-round. I’m testy about heading out on to the fairway, to say the least. Why? Because officials have found a severed arm on the Centurion Golf Estate. The condition of the arm has been variously described as “putrid” and “neatly removed at the shoulder”.

Reading is a little challenging. Obviously not that challenging – you’re doing it right now – but the idea of being out there in the world and letting people judge you based on the latest thing [insert shitty author] has squeezed out is a pretty scary thought, for some. But never fear! There are books that make you look smart for no apparent reason.

There wasn’t much joy for the Aussie cricketers yesterday (or today for that matter). They were licking their wounds well into the night. However, a face-off between the great Shane Warne and X-Men star and all-round (no pun) legend Hugh Jackman had the crowd truly grimacing – as Wolverine took a googly to the nether regions. Ooorph.

Toys R Us have taken to selling babies in boxes. We’re uncertain how long this horror has been going on for, or how much longer we can expect the youth of our society to suffer such visual carnage.
Christmas! That time of year when you remember how terrible Boney M is, when the joyful screeching of little children makes you want to take a cheese-grater to the ears, and when you worry that nothing but all the liquor in the world will make things better. Except not all christmas-noises are terrible. Here is some evidence.
We’re all in the festive spirit of things welcoming loved ones with open arms and big bear hugs.

He probably had it coming.
