For those of you who don't know, the sequel to one of the biggest real-time strategy (RTS) games of all time, Starcraft, has been 12 years in the making. The game is made up of three races: Terran (humans), Protos and Zerg.
The three races are...

And as an avid Facebook user these things really get on my nerves. I think the points should become part of acceptable internet behaviour on social-networking platforms. Listed in no particular order.
1) Avoid attention-seeking posts
I’m real...

Android pips it, but only just.
With the new Android software version 2.1 running on local HTC phones, there is no doubt that the iPhone has a true competitor in the market.
I am running a HTC Hero with 2.1 software on it and I’ve never owned...

I'm on an internet ranting mission. I'm amazed at the lack of understanding in the market about how internet access is charged for and how people are getting ripped.
Had a conversation with someone the other day who said MWeb uncapped was competit...

When MWeb announced uncapped internet in this country, the market went crazy. Competitors followed with similar offerings within days and analysts announced the breaking of a new dawn. Most people failed to mention that it was a rip-off and in everyo...

Disclosure: Tim Britz, the brand manager at Clarins who kindly gave me this interview is a personal friend, and is probably on Foursquare because of my incessant hounding. I have no current commercial ties to Clarins South Africa.

After all the euphoria, back-patting and chest-thumping of the MWeb uncapped DSL offering, which spurred on other ISPs to follow suit, we are now going through the first major test of what happens when real service delivery (this time not the governm...

I had a very strange experience today. It was a warm winter's day, and we had a fire going outside. Glass of wine in hand, I was fiddling around with my iPhone (as one does -- usually to one's wife's discontent) -- specifically a cult favourite app o...

I have the HTC Desire (1GHz Snapdragon processor) running Android 2.2 and I'm completely sold. I'll readily admit that I've never owned an iPhone but that's by preference. That preference is largely due to the close minded thinking of Apple.

Dave on Android vs iPhone
I agree with some of your points, there is however some logic in the way Apple manages (and restricts) it's applications. At the moment probably 80% of all the iPhone applications are useless. I predict that more than 90% of all the Android applicati...

Sarai on Why Starcraft II's important
Good day,
You obviously don't get the point of this uncapped internet. MWEB and the other ISPs are pushing for this uncapped package because they want our country to be on par with other countries such as S. Korea, Australia, UK, etc. Have you bee...
Kuziva on Swindled by uncapped
Facebook panders to our narcissism and exhibitionism. So I don't think any of your points are valid. FB isn't for being civil. It's for being annoying. That's why it works. No matter if our posts annoy people, they are still there on FB coz they want...
Sunshine4all on Five things to avoid on Facebook
This is utter UTTER crap. I'm a moderate user and I easily use enough bandwith on my 384kpps uncapped line to make it more worthwhile than a Telkom/Afrihost deal.
Even with Seacom down, I still download much more than I could with a capped option....
