Posted on May 19th, 2008 by Brett Haggard

In this week’s episode we’re giving away copies of Norton Antivirus, so take a listen for the details. We also discuss:

  • The release of Windows XP Service Pack 3.
  • The slow performance of Outlook in Vista.
  • WINE finally releasing version 1.0.
  • Mac4Lin.
  • Progress of the Linux desktop.
  • Pzizz – software that makes you sleep. Literally.
  • The possibility of a fibre-to-home solution from Neotel. And another slow but uncapped offering too.
  • World of Warcraft – and the new ZA Tech Show guild on Whisperwind, US. Send a message to ‘Rootsmanoova’ for an invite…
  • InfraCo’s West Coast cable and how it fits into the bigger bandwidth picture.
  • New, bigger caps coming to Telkom.
  • The first DSTV channel to go HD.
  • Noxious Nigel’s attack on local IT professionals and Internet privacy laws.
  • Bolton Deventer.
  • CNET being acquired by CBS.
  • Microsoft and Yahoo! revisited.
  • Jon and Google. Not a loving relationship.
  • Online verification and why captures are dead.

Durban is probably the best place to live for Fibre… go figure.
