Good evening folks. Hope everyone's still good. Thought I'd post some pics taken with my phone's camera since I haven't done it in a long time.
This is one an ad shoot for Grolsch...seems aimed at the North American market since we're not big into Grolsch on this side(not the best of beers IMO)
And this is one of my favourite streets in Cape Town...there's always something poppin off although I should say I haven't partied there in a while/

Not sure if you've seen this, taken from The Register:
'Apple breaks jailbreakers' hearts with iPhone 3GS patch
We're gonna lock you up and throw away the key
14th October 2009
Get expert answers on deploying VoIP into your business
Apple has reportedly tweaked the way its iPhone is coded in an effort to freeze out users who jailbreak the company's handsets.
It's understood that when Apple ships new iPhone 3GS phones, they'll come loaded with a "bootrom" that defends against the 24kpwn exploit used by the Dev-Team and individuals to jailbreak artificial restrictions built into the popular smartphone.
Indeed, the Dev-Team warned iPhone users last week to hang fire on installing the latest iPhone OS.
More recently, the group's hacker MuscleNerd has confirmed that for the time being a normal jailbreak of the phone would be impossible, following the loss of the 24kpwn exploit.
Users jailbreak their handsets in order to install unsigned Apple Apps on their iPhone. The Cupertino-based company has watched world+dog enjoy the exploit for the best part of this year.
But the next batch of iPhone 3GS units to arrive in-store are expected to come with code that prevents the jailbreak.
All of which will probably lead to another exploit being discovered, although with each Apple patch, the jailbreaks have turned from a gush to a trickle.
As we reported on Monday, one of the world's foremost iPhone hackers has released software for jailbreaking the latest firmware released for the Apple smartphone.
Geohot's Blackra1n lets Windows-only users jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2 on all iPhone and iPod Touch models, regardless of their hardware generation. The tool, which in 30 seconds allows handset users to run software not authorised by Apple, doesn't work on Macs.
It's not clear if that exploit will also have been patched in the latest batch of iPhone 3GS units. But Apple seems to have won the battle, if not the war, against jailbreakers for now.'

No Wangs,didnt see that article.Its true about the DevTeams efforts going from a gush to a trickle.The amount of time I had to wait for my firmware 3.0 jailbreak tools was quite long compared to the 2.2.1 firmware.I can''t see it been a definite though.For the time been,yes,theyve most probably patched it,but there are some brilliant minds out there which will eventually exploit Apples efforts.

@GUCCI: I want more people in SA using Twitter, the numbers aren't too high although I'm following @fistazmixwell now. What I like about Gravity though is that you can post pictures taken with ur phone directly onto twitter along with check for the latest trending topics.
Last week my heart was broken when I discovered that despite finding an Augmented Reality(ARound) app for my E66(S60v3), it only worked on FP2 phones. Seems like I'll have to get another phone to take advantage of the not so latest technology.

Now, I love BMW and I never thought there could be anything particularly from Mercedes Benz that could tempt me and I was wrong. The only problem is that I can't afford both cars.
Let's face it BMW is the benchmark in the 3, 5 and SUV ranges. And then add the M versions of those cars and there's just no stopping them.
Audi and Merc just can't beat the Bimmer.
Having pointed that out, however, I fell in love with the S65 AMG. For once Merc struck the right balance of power and finesse coupled with glorious comfort. It simply is stunning, out of this world, sublime, it really is THE ultimate driving machine- BMW will kill me using their slogan on a Merc!
I was driving it of course, a business acquaintance of mine owns it. I started reading up on it and reviewers love it. Sad that the 760i can't really match it based on those reviews.
I'm trying my luck on this powerball lotto thing cause I fell in love head over heels with the S65 AMG. It is big though which I don't mind really.
