Billion take it to the next level
You heard it here first, but now Billion have taken it to the next level.
Billion 2073N Homeplug Adapter
With this device you can have the best of both worlds – Wifi and EoP (Ethernet over Power). You are pretty much guaranteed to have every inch of your house covered either with wired or wireless connectivity without the hassle of having to lay (and hide) Ethernet cable all over the place.
Billion is supplied locally by Nology and is apparently ready to be ordered from them. I’ve been scouring the local e-tailers but they are pretty slow and useless when it comes to new products.
Only people that seem to be on the ball are Expansys who have it on offer for R874.99 here.
This price puts it at about the same price as the Netgear units which don’t have the built in Wifi.
Definitely worth taking a look at if you are planning on wire(less)ing your home up anytime soon.

I thought this was pretty awesome when I stumbled upon it a few days ago. What the site has done is provide a smart interface to a library of classic movies that no longer have any copyright issues and are available on Google Video. You can search for specific titles or browse through a genre.
Top 5 (almost) local tech podcasts

OK, so only two out of the five are local. Over the past few weeks I’ve been searching for the best local and international technology podcasts. I’m tired of listening to the same fools drone on on our local radio stations. Cape Talk isn’t bad and some of the presenters are pretty sharp, but they

File this under awesome x rad. Seriously, I find it so annoying when can’t carry on listening (or watching) to my current song or podcast when I move from one device to another. Sitting at my desk listening to a podcast on iTunes and switching to my iPhone when I have to dash off somewhere

I love seeing stuff like this ! East and West Africa collaborating on game and then distributing it via the App Store. More of the same guys. Keep it up. Maybe for their next project we can temporarily relocate them to the Silicon Cape ? iWarrior: an African iPhone Game: “ There aren’t a lot
ZA News turns to technology to work around SABC bull$h!+
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
Although this is not directly technology related, I thought it was a great example of how technology and the Internet were able to bypass a quagmire of political bull and get a “controversial” TV show “on the air”. ZA News was created by local cartoonist and satirist Zapiro (Jonathon Shapiro) and is a satirical view
With top speakers, Silicon Cape generates a ‘real buzz’
about 2 years ago - No comments
I was going to write something about the Silicon Cape launch event yesterday myself, but I’ve read so many articles already this morning, that writing another one that says the same thing would just be a waste of time and space on my blog. Of all the ones I’ve read I think that Ivo Vegter
Do you Poken ?

I’ve been looking at getting one of these for a while, but never got around to it. Now I’ve won one in a competition and I’m keen to see just how useful these are. The primary challenge that “early adopters” will have is that if you don’t have anyone to “Poken” with, you basically just
Finally ! A Blu-ray player for under R2k hits our shores.

I’m not sure how long the special is going to be on, or if it has already finished, but Makro were advertising the Philips BPD3000 Blu-ray player for R1999. This is the baby of the new Philips line up of Blu-ray players so it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that the pricier ones
Automate getting your RSS fix

Over time I’ve messed around with a number of OS X applications that automate the finding and downloading of content that I subscribe to with RSS. Some of the applications that I have been using have not been updated in a long time and they have begun to become more and more unreliable. Fortunately I
