WOW this is funny, geeks in full battle →
Dan Lyons a writer who used to be quite respected in his day, just keeps messing up and trying to keep his name alive via insulting more well know tech jounalists. Went on MG Siegler and Michael Arrington a few weeks ago and now aiming (read: failing) at Robert Scoble just too much fun to watch as his hypocrisy comes to bite his ass. Please oh please piss off Pete Cashmore next…

WHAT KIND OF DEMON EVIL SPEAK IS THIS ???!!!!!
Budget Speech 2012:
Excise duties on tobacco and alcohol products Dhiveshan Naicker has offered the following tip, Mister Speaker: “Raise the tax on alcohol and cigarettes so that people will stop drinking and smoking too much”. This is good advice. The increases in duties on tobacco products will be between 5 and 8 per cent this year. In respect of beer and spirits, an increased benchmark ...

Anonymous, what you need to know.
Here is a great article by Nicholas Pell from Mademan that give you a quick easy overview of the organisation known as Anonymous.
Anyone who hadn’t heard of Anonymous last year sure knows their, um, name now. Late last month, in the largest coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack ever, Anonymous took down the websites of the MPAA, RIAA, Universal Music Group, BMI, U.S....

WatchWhen Is Activism “Terrorism”? When It’s Effective.
I can’t pretend to be into the eco activism space in any way, my only real contribution is not littering. But this video is more about Activism as a whole, and I like to think I’m part of the Internet Activism in the way of supporting Anonymous in my small way.
In any world where this is happening something is wrong, and needs to be...

Dutch Parliament Rejects ACTA On Human Rights...
The controversial ACTA treaty is quickly losing support in Europe.
After a handful of countries already backed off last week, The Netherlands and Bulgaria put their decisions of hold today.
A majority of the Parliament isagainst the ratification of ACTA.
They only intend to change this position if there’s irrefutable evidence that it doesn’t violate basic human rights.
Right now this is...

Safe House - Awesome review in SA
Safe House released here in SA this last weekend, was well… what we expected it to be… there is tons of action and hectic chases, raining bullet fire and a side helping of a love story (purely there for producers benefit by the way, has no effect on movie story line at all but it’s required, and frankly played very well by both Ryan Reynolds and the new comer Vera Farmiga , so we let it...

iPad 3 Unveiling March 7 →
ok everyone you know what to do, start selling your iPads on eBay while they are still worth something…..
parislemon:
Rene Ritchie scoops the info, and Jim Dalrymple confirms it. Good enough for me.
As previously discussed, March 7 makes sense as it’s a Wednesday, a day which Apple likes to use for such events. But it does call into question a SXSW launch.
That event starts on March...

Just signed away my first born to FNB
So I just signed up to the new Smart phone/device promotion with FNB because well to be frank, Standard Bank was driving me crazy with their ineptitude. Standard bank just last month locked all my accounts and didn’t even notify me, even though they have my Cell phone number, Home Number, Work Number and Email address, because… wait for it…. hide the children…. are you...

Hipster as well as Path upload part of your iPhone... →
This is shocking that such top notch apps and web savvy companies would do something so reckless as pulling a users private contact list info without the users knowledge never mind consent.
Even the @Scobleizer was shocked (From Google+) :
Robert Scoble - 1:55 AM - Public
Yes, +Path and +Dave Morin really screwed up here. They should have realized that uploading data without...
