Finding the wife in bed with another woman ... well ... no you just made up my mind for me! I will NOT buy the Nespresso machine ... THAT opportunity is too good to miss!

Hey urban, Its' the pods I'm referring to , but I guess they probably just changed the names at some stage. The pods are expensive, but damn, the coffee is soooooo good. The key is guess is to limit intake of 'premium nespresso' coffee to esnure you don't spend R500/month on the pods ... You can ord...

I've recently looked at the Nespresso coffee/espresso/cuppacino machines and while I will concede that at R5,75 a cup of espresso or cuppacino it is rather expensive, I made an amazingly good cup of 'home made cuppacino' on one of these machines (which means I have top spend R16 less frequently at W...

Thanks pup ...

I doubt a few photos is worth the $$$ I'll be paying for a professional to recover the items ... *sigh*

Hi, I need some input here ... I dropped my MacBook Pro (yes, butterfingers, I know!) and the hard drive crashed (click click) ... The notebook is shot and insurance will pay for replacement. It cannot boot into an operating system, however there are bits and pieces of data that I would like to extr...

Hi all,

I heard of these guys on the radio this morning (www.gconnect.co.za) and had a look. It seems they offer a now contract prepaid monthly voucher where R200 gives you 9GB on ADSL. Any views on this company and this offering?

It seems to be a very good 'no strings' deal ...

There's a joke thread? Never knew ... by all means .. please move it!

I thought this was classic and had to post ... Apologies if it's been posted before and also note, I guess it has a 2-16 rating (although these days it should probably be a 2-8 rating ... ) 1. One human cell contains 75MB genetic information. 2. One sperm contains a half of that; that is 37.5MB. 3. ...

As a matter of interest ... mailed Cybersmart and apparently they stopped the trial of the uncapped ADSL ...

Anyone know who the suppliers of uncapped ADSL are in SA at present? I only know of Screamer and saw some bad things on here about them? Can anyone recommend one?

Hi all, I'm pretty much g@tvol of the 2 cheap cordless phones I purchased 2 years ago for home use and want to replace them with a single cordless unit that has the look and feel (and intelligence) of a modern cellphone. I'm not a wizz on IT anymore so any help would be appreciated. Can anyone recom...

Windows users hit by 'black screen of death'

I think to agree, but I'm no exports on memory so don't have an idea on whether you get non-parity vs parity chips and/or 200 or 300-pin ... so I'm tying to be as exact as I can be in finding it ...

Hi all, I'm wanting to upgrade my iMac form 1GB to 4GB of memory. Going through the official channel is extremely expensive (hardware and labour), however it's actually a simplistic operation and one that Apple even supports you doing it yourself. I need to find memory chips matching these exact cri...

I'd be surprised if Windows 7 did not get bigger market share than OS Snow Leopard in the PC industry quite frankly. The article is meaningless ...

Chowzen, what compatibility issues are you having? I actually had less with Snow than with Leopard ...

OK .. so thanks for the input so far ... 2 quick questions from my side: 1. General comments on whether PSP is worth getting? Casual gaming in bed before I go to sleep as I hardly have time for gaming these days .. 2. PS3 in US .. really worth it seeing as I may pick up some problems with the US ver...

Ok, back to topic ... ?

Any other ideas on electronics or gadgets?

How would the import tax be calculated?

Thanks for some of the ideas so far. I already have an iPhone 3g so the iPod Touch is not on the list and also have a nice camcorder.

Buy please keep the ideas flowing ... I'm sure I'll pick up a good idea soon.

Hi all, A bit of a weird request ... My missus is off to New York for a few days next week and I'm keen for her to buy me something! Problem is, I have no idea what ... I was hoping for a cool gadget of electronic device that is either cheaper there or not available here. I've given some thought to:...

Screeper .. not sure if there is anything wrong with the cable but did do a basic check and it all seems secure at the dish and decoder side. I guess the only other option I have is to check another decoder in the same setup ...

Hi all, I've tried troubleshooting nearly everything I could think of and was hoping someone might have some more insight into what I can troubleshoot. Basically overnight, our DSTV (HD PVR) is giving sound problems on every channel. The best way in which to describe it is that the audio is very sof...

Hi, I've been asked to help proofread and contribute to a book and it has been placed on the web in Flashpaper format. While easy enough to open each time, I'd prefer to read it offline as it's about 2-3 MB to load each time and I read about 3-4 pages max at a time of the 200+ pages book. The file c...

RyanRich,

Have you managed to send MMS's and use the tethering that the 3.0 software is supposed to bring to the iPhone 3G? I've upgraded but still can't send MMS's or tether the phone to my notebook.

doo_much ... I worry that prostitution is the 2nd thing you think of ... ;) My view is similar to Furion's, around genuine sustainability of the supposed benefits. Over and above that ... a mate of mine spoke about the house price bubble that emerged because of WC 2010 and the increased costs to bui...
