Sep Blatter offers an apology for the ref errors...

It seems that Mr Blatter has offered an apology regarding the blatant reffing errors that we have seen in recent World Cup matches... not that it offers much consolation to the teams who were on the receiving end...! In addition he mentions that the introduction of goal-line technology would be discussed at a meeing next month in Cardiff... holding thumbs!! Check it out: http://www.sport24.co....

The FIFA debate continues...

Between radio, TV, people around me and media in general, one of the main topics that is currently on tongue-tips seems to be the errors and controversial decisions that the FIFA refs are making during this soccer world cup. Yup, you know all about it by now - I was going to put up the FIFA logo here but I dare not, for fear of persecution à la Kulula...! The bottom line is that there...

Italy vs. Slovakia in pictures... thoughts on the match?

So Italy is on their way home after a dismal performance at the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. All in all Italy did not put on the much-anticipated performance of the World Champion Azzurri team that took the trophy in 2006. They did not really shape up in the first half, and only kicked into gear once...

Even the Google Streetview guy is blowing a Vuvuzela...!

Should we just believe everything we get in our Inbox...? Do you...?

Email is fantastic. It makes messaging so darn simple. Keeping in touch with customers, family, friends and the world in general is really a breeze thanks to good old email. The downside, of course is that we as human beings like to buy into almost anything that we read. Especially if we received it...

Scam mails are now targeting FNB...

I had a whackload of posts up previously about email scams going around in an attempt to defraud ABSA and Nedbank customers. Back then I outlined a few ways to identify suspected "phishing" email that you receive. Take a look at the latest attempt to defraud FNB customers - it's pretty weak but I am...

Watch how the ref "asks" Luis Fabiano if he handled the ball in last night's game...!

Soccer City was abuzz last night in the match between Brazil and Ivory Coast, and I was very lucky to have been there. Watching Brazil play is always a treat, but I watched a Youtube video this morning which shows the ref smiling and actually asking Luis Fabiano if he handled the ball in order to score his goal...(after the goal had been awarded)! This kinda makes you wonder what the heck is going...

Does Google Chrome sometimes resist your efforts to Paste text...?

A common problem I come across in Google Chrome (which is a sterlingly good browser), is that it often disallows the pasting of text into a textbox on a site that is being displayed. For example, if you are using Chrome to access a webmail facility like Gmail, Hotmail etc., and you want to paste something...

Did you know that you can collect your World Cup tickets at OR Tambo International Airport...?

I was cringing at the prospect of heading into Sandon this week to collect my World Cup tickets... Apparently the queues there have been the stuff of nightmares. Then yesterday I heard a useful tip, that there is an un-documented FIFA ticket collection point at the OR Tambo International Airport! Not entirely convinced, I called the airport last night and they confirmed that this is in fact true. So...

Google Streetview is alive and well in Johannesburg... even on cellphones!

Almost everyone has heard about Google Streetview by now - and if you haven't, it is Google's way of peeping into backyards all over the world :)Basically Google sent out a whole lot of Google vehicles with special 360-degree roof-mounted cameras, to take photos of roads and highways in various areas...

Just in case you didn't get to see Sandton today at 12:00...

It was a crazy, crazy day today in Jo'burg... and that is one MOERSE understatement :) (if you are not sure what "MOERSE" means, click here to find out :)) 12:00 today heralded the arrival of an absolute flood of noise, as the whole city gorged itself on a Vuvuzela orgy... for want of a better description! No...

Along with the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup, the Gautrain too, is finally here.
