@kryptik: I seriously don't mind increased policing but what I don't get is random poor service one still encounters from SA businesses with less than 300 days to go for the spectacle.
Last night we called Debonairs to order a pizza and the chick on the other end couldn't understand my friend who was speaking in a clear English accent...I dread the thought of a drunk Russian calling up and ordering pizza.

Thanx a lot for that boet. Im not so sure what to think of it. It can be a good thing because Palm are trying to see which apps their users use the most i guess so they know what to focus on but at the same time bad because it gives away private info, wasnt Apple doing the very same thing with the 1st gen iPhone? Think il do the same,going to checkout HowardForums.

now that would be frustrating for both lol. Most of these restraunts hire foreigners, we go to Mugg&Bean between Monte and sandton often and cant remember the last time we had a South African waiter/waitress.

Yeah when we eat out here, a good deal of the waitresses etc are from eastern Europe countries, particularly Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia.

Maaaaaaaaaaagandang umaga, Jojo! Kumusta?

Yeah, still only using the P1i, as mentioned before each post's pics.
I find adjusting the light sensitivity/white balance down a fair bit helps to sharpen the images up a lot; they look a lot less washed-out then but you sometimes lose a bit of detail in the process.

Good to see you in here again, matey.

Okay, I take back what I said about Asher Roth being a likely one hit wonder. He's got some great songs, infact, Em's Relapse sucks compared to his album. Although his voice does kinda sound like Eminem's...
