Google vs. Apple in 2010
Posted on 07. Jan, 2010 by saulk in Tech
could make any predictions for 2010 the most obvious one would be an epic “pow-wow” between two of the most unassuming companies of the last decade. In the past five years Google and Apple went from highly niche companies to essentially (especially in the case of Google) running the web. The main aim at Google [...]
Do we need another Operating System?
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by saulk in Culture, Tech
The tech world is buzzing this week about the beta launch of the latest Google product, Chrome OS. About a year ago Google released their Chrome Browser to compete against both Internet Explorer and Firefox. The browser has made some pretty impressive strides in its time and runs much faster than either of its main [...]
Windows 7 is awesome!
Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by saulk in Tech, featured
Or at least it would be if I could actually get hold of it. I always used being a student as an excuse for pirating goods and now that I actually have money I’ve decided to act above the law and buy computer software. I bought Snow Leopard when it came out a few months [...]
SaulK’s views on Nokia’s Comes With Music
Posted on 30. Aug, 2009 by saulk in Gadgets, Tech, featured
For a long time I’ve been a pirate. Yes, I’ll admit to not buying music legally. The thing is, buying music from a physical store is a tiresome process. You’ve got to get in your car, fight the crowds in the mall and then once you actually get into the store you’re left having to [...]
The VoIP conundrum!
Posted on 11. Aug, 2009 by saulk in Tech, featured
With the whole Apple vs Google voice fiasco this week, the battle lines between traditional telephony providers and VOIP services has been drawn. To recap the situation, Google has recently launched a service known as “Google Voice” that allows you to claim your own personal number and then route your calls over a data network [...]
SaulK debates whether Ministers need the bling!
Posted on 06. Aug, 2009 by saulk in Politics, featured
There has been a lot of talk in the past few weeks about South African ministers spending exorbitant amounts of money on very expensive cars to shuttle them around from their homes to parliamentary meetings in both Pretoria and Cape Town.

Saul Kropman’s Nokia Music 5800 Xpress Review
Posted on 25. Jul, 2009 by saulk in Gadgets, Tech
After attending the relatively recent Nokia Music Store launch in South Africa I was fortunate enough to be sent the Nokia 5800 Xpress or as it was known in the prototype phase: the Nokia Tube. Now at first glance it’s a touch screen music phone and that leads to fairly obvious comparisons to the good [...]
Protecting the consumer | Saulk talks about stopcore.co.za
Posted on 08. Jul, 2009 by saulk in Business, Tech
When Isobel Jones kicked the bucket a few years ago, I couldn’t help but notice that consumerism died on that same day. In my last month of trying to get a company to notice their wrongdoing and provoke customer wrath against a company like Core (which brings Apple into South Africa) I learnt quite a [...]
First Impressions of the Nokia N97
Posted on 23. Jun, 2009 by saulk in Tech
After about a day of using the Nokia N97 I won in the “Nokia Search for N” competition I thought I would give some of my thoughts on the phone. Bearing in mind that my last phone was a Nokia E71 and before that a first gen iPhone so as such I’m quite a phone [...]
Prostitutes and Prostitution!
Posted on 23. Jun, 2009 by saulk in Politics
With the Egyptian soccer team under a cloud of speculation as to whether their rooms were burgled by prostitutes I thought I would take a look at the topic. With an event such as the World Cup approaching rapidly it seems like now is the best time to legalise the worlds oldest trade in the [...]
