 That poor ATM must be growing very irritated at being blown up every day
Seriously though, it's sickening how brazen these guys have grown. |

i've a friend who works for Diebold, the company which instals and services those ATM's. I often accompany him when he's called out of town to repair machines in some rural areas. It's quite stunning what one finds inside those machines sometimes, lol. Coins, letters, pens, bubblegum, the odd condom (used and unused ), even banknotes popped in by some clueless soul who's assumed the ATM knows who he is and that he doesn't need to pop the cash into a deposit envelope first 
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious. |

Ok, discovered that the only way to get 3rd party apps working is by deleting and then re-installing them. Sorted out Opera Mini...now to get my Gameloft archive back to it's former glory.
Nice little titbit for those congesting Cell C's network over weekends...you'll have to pay more for the privilege.

Hobbs to tell you the truth i live for that kind of sh!t!lol.
Brix i would have prefered if they made it R35 or even higher as i use about R35 a day on my cell c number and on weekends i'm forced to use my mtn contract because the dam cell c network is too congested.yesterday i tried calling someone for twenty min before it went through. It's frustrating to say the least.i would rather pay a bit more for it to be less congested.

i just read the following article :
Linux based phone may be i-phone injurer
An early version of the Linux-based OpenMoko NEO 1973 has been released to allow developers to begin writing applications and device drivers.
With the slogan "The clean form fits your fist. The open system frees your mind," the NEO has been optimistically punted by some as a potential iPhone killer. However, it is unlikely to compete with iPhone's popularity and trendy image built on the back of its worldwide multi million dollar marketing campaign. More realistically it, could be seen as an iPhone injurer.
The phone has attracted some criticism for not being as slick looking as the iPhone, but for the average Linux geek its functionality and open-ended customisation are likely to make it attractive none-the-less.
The phone comes with:
2.8" VGA TFT color display
Touchscreen
266MHz Samsung System on a Chip (SOC)
USB 1.1
Integrated AGPS
2.5G GSM – quad band, voice, CSD, GPRS
Bluetooth 2.0
Micro SD slot
High Quality audio codec
The consumer version will be available in October, with the addition of wi-fi, 3D motion sensors and graphics accelerators at a price of $450.

Sorry boet.I dont read the Sun and Voice papers.Hate seen dead people lying in their own blood.Its just to much for me thank you very much.But yeah Im glad those publications exist though because some people in the Cape are living in a bubble and dont even think about the reality of this place.And the Voice and Sun definitely shove it in your face. |
