Hey Hobbster,
You watching the Proteas..? Eish, 3 wickets in one over..
Too much work left till the end to try and get a decent score, and now things are falling apart like a cheap watch... again. Dammit! I really wish I had more faith in them..

Haha, not really, just cultofmac.com, nothing's quite like Esato though.
I'm not ready for the limitations of an Iphone yet, though I do want one badly. I have never looked back since I got a M ac, now PCs look ancient. I know iOS will be just as great. I'm loving my Mac, I guess that's why I was saddened by Steve's passing, true genius. I think it's going to be hard for someone to match him, props to the next guy who does.

It's always good to be back, I've been around, it's been a tough year, working and doing my final year - can't say neither are going very well though
( i missed this smiley lol)
How things on your side?
I'm afraid I'll have to stick with my Satio, if only the announced iphone was iphone 5 not a slight speed bump, would've sold one of my lungs.
Lol, that 3gs camera was a waste of time, but I seem to be less concerned about the camera quality of phones lately, cos I don't take as many photos with my phone any more.
I was expecting that you'd have the GS2 by now ? ? ?

Nice, I'm tempted to go back to v4 or maybe just try Z's ROM as i simply can't stand this ROM anymore, its laggy and eats battery like crazy, Wolfbreak always starts off great then his ROMs go down the toilet, in v4 I never even gave a though to battery life unless I was test I g an app.

Eish, at least you'll be done by end of this year, when are your final exams?
I'm awesome as always, getting ready for my final exams for the year which begin next friday, so trying hard to go easy on the gadgets but that's clearly not happening.
Cant blame you, hopefuly Apple don't disappoint next year.
Lol, I wish I had a Galaxy S2, I got the Galaxy Tab10.1 though so I've been enjoying Android on dual core for a while now, in december I may get a Sensation XE Beats audio if the Nexus Prime isn't here by then or maybe even a GS2 but I'm just not convinced by its screen Res especially after seeing the Android Ice Cream Sandwich leaked vid, we'll see.
Dups
Did you watch Top Gear last night? BMW 1series M made mince meat of the Porsche Cayman R and Lotus Evora
that car is sex on wheels!

tsepz having xrecovery makes switching between roms so so easy.so i say download z's rom,fire it up,if you dont like it,switch back to wolfbreaks v4 (quite a few people feel the same way you do.i never tried his v4 rom so dont know how good it is).I'm just waiting for the bugger z to get back from wherever the hell he has gone and update his rom.(u give these devs donations for a new phone and what do they do,go on holiday to the caribbean.
)

No, I didn't watch that. That 1 M is potent I tell you. It is practically an M3 in a smaller package, makes me wonder how the next M3 is going to be like.
By the way, BMW are unveiling the new 3 series today. I actually have seen the car about two years ago. My cousin worked for Siemens at that time and had German colleagues who went back home during the December holidays and came back with this German magazine with all the upcoming German cars.
The book was in German but they had all the upcoming BMWs, Audis, VWs and Mercedes Benzs. The new 3 series is a beauty of car. I aslo like the upcoming Z10 in there. As for Audi, they all looked the same, it was difficult for me to tell the difference. I like Mercedes' design strategy, they make their cars look different to each other unlike Audi and to an extent BMW. I like BMW but their cars are now almost like Audi, the 5 series is a smaller 7 and the upcoming 3 is even a smaller 7 but a very sexy one compare to the two big brothers.
@Hobbs
I took the 9700 last year so I am about 5 months away from upgrading. I am going Android next year, no two ways about it. I hoped for the iPhone 5 this but the 4S is small for my liking. I need a 4.3'' to 4.5''. I am still going Blackberry with Cell C as soon as QNX is ready and phones running it are released. I am quite impressed by Cell C's prepaid offerings since I ported to them. I gues I will be converting to contract next year over at Cell C.

I considered getting Z's ROM last night but i saw that it lacks wi-fi tethering which i sometimes use for the tab if its HSDPA acts up.
Just realised i deleted v4 off my mem card without backing it up, i know, brightspark moment lok, pso what ive done is got the TSFBES Remover, it removes Timescape, FB for Xperia and Event Stream, i never use Timescape and hardly on Facebook since being addicted to Twitter so its fine, and the phone speed has increased, also the battery life has improved, used my phone to update twitter, and browse the web a bit, it went down to 95%, i studied for an hour checked my phone and it was still at 95%, left it for another 30mins and it only dropped to 94%, happy so far.
Dups
Cant wait to see it, especialy if it looks anything like the new 7.
Yeah, Audis are all too similar the only ones i can tell apart are the A1 and A3.
Wish we got those types of magazines
were they spyshots or proper press pics of the new cars?

You know, I still don't know how that book was able to get all those pictures. They were clear, full length pictures of those cars from all angles. Being given access to such info or pics is unheard of, I was actually surprised that the internet car sites never had those pictures.
I suspect that magazine has an agreement or an arrangement with the German manufacturers cause I even saw the new 1 series in there.
My brother still has the book, my cousin gave it to him, I will get it from him.

In hindsight, I should've suspected this. I got the book from my brother and it turns out those are renditions of the cars. They are nothing like the new cars. I did wonder why they would have those at least two year before they are released.
The rendered 3 series is stunning compared to the one unveiled yesterday. In fact, I think the new 3 is ugly! The 5 is actually much, much better IMO.
They should hire the artist who did those renditions, he/she is brilliant.
From now on I am staying away from books I can't read and make sense of.

Ahh i see, makes sense, but i guess they are a good way of giving a clue of what could be unveiled.
Im going to keep an eye out for the new 3, some of these Beemers take time to grow on you, i remember thinking the previous 5series looked weird but after sometime i loved it.
The new 1 also looks weird at the front lol, one drove past me on Main RD the other day, it mas a 118i if im not mistaken, clearly on its way to a dealership as it had the metal silver plate written BMW 1series, looks nice at the back, but front will take some getting used to, it will look great with a bodykit.

I agree, some Bimmers take time to grow on you, I also had problems with the X6 but now I prefer it over the X5.
I have to say, though, that the new 1 series is the worst BMW design in front. It looks like something from a cartoon movie, I find it hideous! The back is nice but the front. It actually reminds me of the X1, I tried to get used to the X1 but I just can't. It is slightly better than the 1 series but it look odd in front.
