Apple iTunes, the worlds most popular media player is kak.
Let me explain. I was listening on 5FM about the performance of one of the American Idols and how he had done Michael Jacksons Black and White to, well, metal. That to me sounded awesome, what with me being a metal head and all. So I [...]

I’m very glad to hear that the leading mobile manufacturers have finally agreed to a standard interface for power charging for their mobile phones.

I attended a Microsoft road show to day that spoke of Small Business Server 2008 and Essential Server 2008, their inclusions, target market and other nitbits.

My wife and I went to the Vincent Park Vodashop on the 1st of May to change her details into her married name and upgrade her contract from a TopUp to a Weekender. The gentlemen that assisted us was helpful, efficient and we left knowing that her name would be changed, that the contract would [...]
