Ahrlac: SA-made military plane takes flight | TechCentral
I am not one for military anything but this plane has got so many amazing things going for it, not just in the design or flying but in the manufacturing, dynamic makeup and maintenance. This team made something simple and easy to work with out of technology and looking at things with a view to the whole solution rather than just a part. Fantastic we need more teams like this in South Africa. Now I hope the team remains proudly South African!

Altech Node: VOD on steroids!
The price may stop a person, but Altron have packed into this machine everything from streaming, VOD, internet all the way to daily payments and even more apps. This is all not through the mine field of Telkom but rather through the power and speed of satellite. This is going to be a real game player.

Who stole the Batmobile??????????
Sometimes the movie guys have actually got a sense of humour. Here are two great movies colliding in a funny way. It’s simple, the rumour started with the DC movie Batman vs Superman where they apparently reported the Batmobile missing. Later on @ZackSnyder who is directing the new StarWars movie decided to get in on the act with a Tweet of two cops catching the culprit who stole the Batmobile allegedly. Check out the picture.

Kindle Voyager, #IWANTONE …
This has got to be one of my favourite devices of all time. The plain straightforward Kindle now upgraded to the new Voyager. It’s simple and no clutter. There are no mails or bells and whistles to distract you or sit in the back of your mind making you wonder if you had an email from your boss or form the cat. Just reading!

44 hours to create and drive a 3D printed car?
Okay I know that 3D printing is rapidly advancing, but this one is mind boggling. They printed and drove this 3D printed car at an auto show which only took 44 hours! hat is insanely fast. Now, it may not be a Porsche or a VW, but man this could solve a lot of emission problems and reduce prices rapidly.

TechCentral Lumia 930 review by @Regardt on @TechCentral…
So Regardt van der Berg (@Regardt) did a review of the Nokia Lumia 930 and it was not a bad review and I always enjoy his writing, but there is one MAJOR thing I do not like about tech reviews of the Windows Phone OS devices. Here is my comment which I placed on the site and I encourage you all to add your comments too.
I am a WP owner and I am tired of the stupid app support argument. I have never been lacking in a need for an app. The average user needs a small number of apps and those are already on WP or have better alternatives already on the platform. So when I read an article by some tech guru site the first thing that they mention is how bad the app support is when they have never actually used the environment as an average user. Journalism is supposed to be about the people you are writing for? Well go and take a look at what apps the average user actually uses practically, and lets not look at how many games they use, but I am talking about apps that are valuable and used daily to function. WP has them all and is more than capable of keeping up with the others. I have been using WP8.1 and all the new updates have made this phone in some cases better than the others. Take Cortana, what fun and so quick to understand me. I have all the apps I need and the integration of social media into the phone is far better than the others. Much simpler and faster for us the average daily users. Why not write a review based on the average user next time instead of dissing a system based on the tech know how?
Just to add to the previous point, we are moving forward in technology not backwards. It seems to me that our devices are getting dumber and dumber and people are relying more and more on APPS. WP8.1 is one of the few that still integrate the phone with more than just a bunch of apps. We need devices that are smarter and work for us, not a bunch of apps that do not work together and that do not communicate with each other. We need devices that work with our lives not against it. WP is doing this very well and offers some simpler more fluid ways of doing this.
Regardt van der Berg why not write an article on what apps the average user is actually using on a daily basis. Then once you have got a list of around 1000 users from all walks of life, take that list and then do your phone reviews on how those apps work for those users and which phone best suites those users needs. This could mean that the iPhone might be great for some some apps and certain ways of doing things, while Android may have better ways of doing the nitty gritty and the WP might be better at the general social and photo type apps. This will then give users a true view of what the value of a phone is rather than the sales pitch and the usual tech geek view of a phone. We may be surprised to find that some apps work better on one OS that we were not expecting and others we were. I know that you have to do those bread and butter reviews, but man this would be a real life review that people could actually use. Just a thought!
PS: TechCentral Rocks!

Mom’s Day Out the video???
Mom’s Day Out
This weekend I enjoyed a day with the best group of people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. The dad’s of the mom’s who went out! We all enjoyed the time so much, we nearly got stuck in the dark. Even the kids had fun.
It was a very blessed and special time. Praise the Lord.
