CCS student Andrew Kim's Coke bottle redesign is an ambitious take on the iconic bottle, going square in the name of eco-friendliness. The new bottle shape would take up far less space in shipping pallets per bottle, and a push-up in the bottom large enough to accommodate the cap of the bottle bene...

Re: IS Uncapped ADSL: R199 p/m

That's also the problem with Mweb's T n Cs.

Re: What game are you currently playing?

A combination of Mass Effect 2 (second playthrough), Borderlands, Dragon Age (4th playthrough) and Battlefield Bad Company 2. BC2 is (so far) the most enjoyable multiplayer FPS I've played. I'm enjoying more than I enjoyed COD4 and BF2.
