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
about 2 years 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

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.

I thought I post a follow up on my article about the delay in getting my hands on the new iPhone 3GS. After the most bizarre chain of events yesterday morning, the phone suddenly arrived on my desk. After yet another call to my service provider to get an update on when the handset might
ZA News turns to technology to work around SABC bull$h!+

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.

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
