HEAR WHAT OUR EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY
There's a young guy named Mike who heads up the Braamfontein Tempest/SIXT car rental office. He used to be based at Johannesburg International. He was moved to Braamfontein as part of a promotion? (Imagine what happens when you mess up?) Anyone who's used Tempest/SIXT...

I just had a birthday. My amazing wife bought me an iPod Video. It replaces my iPod mini that's given me hours of amazingness. I used my iPod mini for mostly travelling by plane to escape the mind-numbing experience of airline travel. As I discovered PodCasts I spent...
It's a question I get asked often. Sure, the Web is evolving into a platform for ordinary people to share information with just about anyone who'll look or listen, but why put information out there if you're not making money off it? Why have a personal blog if people...
Yesterday I attended a presentation by Prof. David Block on the Power of Vision. He gave us a wonderful metaphor when thinking of what it means to remain at the cutting edge as a business. He asked us how much TNT it would take to move a sand dune in Namibia? The...
England's latest singing sensation may just be rescuing the single, by bringing it right up to speed with the latest technologies. James Blunt's latest video, "Goodbye My Lover" was released for mobile phones exclusively on 21 November. This was done to customers of...
So Telkom has a VoIP solution called TelkomInternet Communicator. But here's what I don't understand.... * It's essentially the same product as Skype or Google Chat. Why are they doing this? Did they pay someone to develop a product that is the same as Skype? * While...
I'm always on the look out for new ways people are viewing and using the world (paradigm shifts). In a world of discontinuous change they're happening all around us. It's in these spaces that we see new innovations as people's minds are opened up to possibilities...
Like me, you're probably bored of another Google 'the destroyer' story. But I found a great few paragraphs on Wired tonight outlining some of Google's expansion and a brief summary of what they're up to and who's in trouble if they manage to Googalize the world. Click...
If you've read what we have to say about the Connection Economy then you'll know that we're moving toward the 3rd human frontier. At the end of the Industrial era we'd mastered the physical, we're currently mastering the mental and we're now entering the frontier of...
I have been on too many planes in the last 7 days. Probably a total of 40 hours actually sitting in the plane, let alone the airports and taxis. While doing so, I was reading an article about how TiVo 9and similar technologies) are causing great concern amongst...
Social software (see http://www.tomorrowconnecting.biz for a full introduction) is the set of technologies allowing people to collaborate online. Wikis are online tools that allow any registered users to update, add or delete content in a document. All changes are...
I warn you once again that if you're not interested in cricket, or are bored of my obsession with Jacques Kallis... just ignore this post. Let's review his performance in India. He batted in only 3 of the 5 games (one washed out, one the openers did their job). In his...
I know that posts on this Blog have hammered Telkom (South Africa's only fixed line telephone operator) recently. And I know that much of South Africa's online community is doing the same thing. And we all know that they deserve most of what is being written about...
There is a trend in shops which is really starting to irritate me. I'm referring to the habit of installing security personnel at the entrace/exit of a store with their primary purpose being to scan your receipt and ensure that you aren't carrying out an unpaid-for...
Microsoft South Africa are currently running a series of radio and print ads. The theme is how "risky" it is to have unlicensed software. The pic attached here is of a shop left unattended and the door open. The radio slots include a person phoning a friend at the top...
So X-Box 360 has launched. I'm not sure what kind of hype came with it in the Northern Hemisphere, although clearly there are some that weren't impressed, but down here in the south there's been nothing, nada, zip, zero? Why? PSP launches around the world and we're...
