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.
Philip s BPD3000 Blu-ray player
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 have, but it apparently does a very good job at its primary function: outputting HD video and audio.
It comes with all the ports you need at the back, including Ethernet and USB for BD Live downloads.
I’m sure that if you wait a few more months before investing in a Blu-ray player there will be a few more options on the market.
If you can’t wait for HD goodness, this is the best deal around at the moment.

Top 5 (almost) local tech podcasts
about 10 months ago - No comments
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
Google maps now has SA direction information

Anyone that regularly uses Google Maps or Google Earth would have noticed that the level of detail and the correctness of the detail for South Africa has been improving significantly over the past few months. The first thing I noticed in Google Earth was the addition of some 3D buildings to the Cape Town CBD

ZA News turns to technology to work around SABC bull$h!+
about 10 months 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’

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

I read this article on TechCentral this morning (thanks for summing it up Duncan) and had some assumptions that I made and communicated to an overseas company reaffirmed. The power of mobile technology and more specifically mobile Internet technology is the only answer to bring online services to the masses in South Africa. I’m definitely

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
