Comment on Learn To Breast Feed Your Blog by Sticky Scissors

Nice article and some very valid points. However, at first I didn't like the Disqus plugin, for the simple reason that there wasn't an option to comment anonymously. I run a blog all about marijuana (not tech), and it's important for users to be able to leave comments anonymously without having to facebook connect etc. I now see that there is a guest posting option available, which is great! I think it's about time to try it out :)

I am ’stuck’ with windows xp. I ever tried vista and windows 7 but I never really liked them. And I think I will wait for windows 8 users’ review before I start using it. but I am a bit pesimistic.

Hey Quintin,

great post – looks like you’re right so far with your “wild” predictions! Tablets have certainly started to take even South Africa by storm. Just got back from Joburg and virtually everyone on the plane had an ipad!

Oh and btw, check out my site for reviews of the top ten tablets available in South Africa, including the new iPad I wrote this comment from :)

Comment on Opinion: Android – The ONE Killer Feature Desktop Linux Needs To Get Ahead of the Curve by Olga Roac

Hi Quintin,

Android is set to become the most important factor in the industry. Even Apple is not going to be able to compete as they are cometing right now. If you think about it, when Apple came out with the IPad, they had like 98% of market share.

That market share must be like half right now and it is only going to get worst.

If Linux wants to stay competitive, they better start reading your article. ;-)

I missed out on the developer preview and only got the consumer preview. That was problematic because I couldn’t join the machine to our domain or connect it to our wireless. :-\

My feeling is that if any businesses adopt Windows 8, Metro will be the first thing tossed out.

Well there is xBox companion installed (haven’t checked it out yet) so I am not sure about that. It might just be that the functionality will be added later. Let’s hope so.

I have never heard of a mail client that does not support Pop3, I wonder if Ms will try to bring in the Xbox Kinect controller (and therefore is trying to simplify everything)?

Its heading for a year later and I still do not see anything available for sync/backup of contacts and SMS’es on a Linux desktop – very sad, really.

Comment on South African Radio Streaming by Blikkies

Hey guys.

I suggest you speak to us we can give you all the information you require to open our streams on almost any platform. Agreed, you have to sometimes tweak you’re linux to listen to a particular station. Most of our stations are now available in Flash which should play on Linux. We do give the shoutcast details on request but for the sake of stats (long story don’t ask) we are not publishing it anywhere. But obviously we feel that getting the stream to you guys are more important than some red tape. Feel free to contact us at support@antfarm.co.za

Happy Tunes!
