The days of being restricted by where you can use the internet at home is finally something of the past and now most homes with ADSL have a wireless network too. Now everyone in the family can access cheap internet from anywhere in the home whether it be from a mobile phone or computer. With more and more devices such as TVs, game consoles and even appliances being connected a wireless network at home just makes sense. Another reasons for setting up a wireless network at home is to share your music and movies with the whole family so that they can enjoy it on their own devices, wherever they are in the home. The WiDrive does both. Wi-Fi router, external hard drive and NAS server all in one.

Unlike most of the ‘rugged’ smartphones we’ve seen in the past, this one actually looks and works great too.
While online shopping continues to grow, many in South Africa have never purchased anything online, even though it has become very safe and convenient to do so.

So if you’d like to give online shopping a go, this is your chance.
Back when we mostly used photo albums we didn’t have nearly as many pics and sorting them was not really a challenge. Since the dawn of the digital age the amount of pictures we keep on our hard drives have massively increased and for most, it’s a difficult task to quickly find a picture you’re looking for between the thousands of other pics. Applications like Picasa make that task easier, especially if your pictures carry a GPS coordinate which these applications can use to show you your photos on a map, based on where they were taken. The Canon Powershot cameras now feature integrated GPS which will do exactly this.
