ZA Tech Show – Episode 70: ‘Spiked’

Ivo Vegter makes his debut appearance on the ZA Tech Show this week, by popular demand. He joins Simon Dingle, Duncan McLeod, Brett Haggard, Toby Shapshak and Ben Kelly for a chat about:

• Walled gardens, open systems and whether or not we should care.
• “Evil” technology companies and market perceptions.
• Google and Microsoft’s game of tit-for-tat.
• Google Chrome OS.
• New HD channels coming to DSTV.
• The move to digital terrestrial television (DTT) and MNET’s advantage.

And much more…

Our picks and pick-ons of the week:

• Toby Shapshak – Pick: VLC, which has now reached version 1.0.
• Brett Haggard – Picks: the Monkey Island revival and Linux Mint.
• Ivo Vegter – Pick-on: The R6 million 2010 Durban website.
• Ben Kelly – Pick: Travian (yes, yes. Jon has picked it before).
• Ducan McLeod – Pick: Grooveshark.
• Simon Dingle – Pick: Simple CSS (which he confused with another app. Wrong description in the show, but check it out anyway)

a R6mil SharePoint 2007 site,

dam expensive, SharePoint isn’t the cheapest way to go when creating a website, but R6mil you have to be kidding me.

R6mil for great features like a date currency converter, with exchange rates that only seem to get updates weekly, state of the art i tell you
