Herman Charles Bosman
|This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's personal feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (December 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Herman Charles Bosman (3 February 1905 – 14 October 1951) is widely regarded as South Africa's greatest short-story writer. He studied the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain and developed a style emphasizing the use of satire. His English-language works utilize primarily Afrikaner characters and highlight the many contradictions in Afrikaner society during the first half of the twentieth century. The poet Roy Campbell called him "the only literary genius that South Africa has produced".[1]
Early life[edit]
Bosman was born at Kuils River, near Cape Town, to an Afrikaner family. He was raised with English as well as Afrikaans. While Bosman was still young, his family moved to Johannesburg where he went to school at Jeppe High School for Boys in Kensington. While there he contributed to the school magazine. When Bosman was sixteen, he started writing short stories for the national Sunday newspaper (the Sunday Times). He attended the Johannesburg College of Education (which in 2002 was incorporated into the University of the Witwatersrand)[2] and submitted various pieces to student literary competitions.
Career and adult life[edit]
After graduation, Bosman accepted a teaching position in the Groot Marico district in an Afrikaans-language school. The area and the people inspired him and provided the backdrop for his best-known short stories, the Oom Schalk Lourens series (featuring an older character named "Oom Schalk Lourens"), and the Voorkamer sketches.
Over the school holidays in 1926, Bosman visited his family in Johannesburg. During an argument, he shot and killed his stepbrother. Bosman was sentenced to death for the crime and was sent to Death row at the Pretoria Central Prison.[3] But his sentence was later reduced to ten years with hard labour. In 1930 he was released on parole after serving half his sentence. His prison experiences formed the basis for his semi-autobiographical book, Stone Cold Jug.
Bosman then started his own printing-press company and was part of a literary set in Johannesburg, associating with poets, journalists, and writers, including Aegidius Jean Blignaut. Needing a break, he then toured overseas for nine years, spending most of his time in London. The short stories that he wrote during this period formed the basis for another of his best-known books, Mafeking Road.
At the start of the Second World War, he returned to South Africa and worked as a journalist. During this time he translated the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam into Afrikaans.
Bosman lamented the fact that Johannesburg neglected its heritage. In The Standard Theatre he complained that the city's residents:
"will pull down the Standard Theatre like they have pulled down all the old buildings, theatres, gin-palaces, dosshouses, temples, shops, arcades, cafes and joints that were intimately associated with the mining-camp days of Johannesburg. Because I know Johannesburg. And I am satisfied that there is no other city in the world that is so anxious to shake off the memories of its early origins."
Bosman's second wife was Ella Manson. The couple were renowned for their bohemian lifestyle and parties, which featured witty conversation and usually ended well after midnight.
From 1948 to his death in 1951 Bosman was employed as proof editor at The Sunday Express, but in addition he was contracted to write his weekly Voorkamer story for The Forum magazine.[4]
His last wife was Helena Lake (née Stegmann). After a housewarming party in October 1951 Bosman experienced severe chest pains and was taken to Edenvale Hospital. On admission he was asked for his birthplace. He replied, "Born Kuilsrivier – Died Edenvale Hospital." He was discharged and collapsed at home a few hours later. Bosman died as he was being rushed to hospital. He is buried in Westpark Cemetery in Westdene under a triangular headstone that reads "Die Skrywer, The Writer, Herman Charles Bosman, b 3.2.1905, d 14.10.1951."
After his death, the rights to his works were auctioned. They were purchased by his last wife, Helena, and upon her death, the rights were passed to her son, who retains them. In 1960 however, Helena sold some of his documents and 123 of his water colours and pencil sketches to the Harry Ransom Center in Texas.[4]
Only three of his books were published during his lifetime: Mafeking Road published by Dassie, and Jacaranda in the Night and Cold Stone Jug published by APB. Mafeking Road has never been out of print since its publication in 1947.[4]
His biography was written several times by Valerie Rosenberg. Her first effort was called Sunflower to the sun ISBN 0-7981-1228-X (Human & Rousseau, 1976), followed by Herman Charles Bosman, a Pictorial Biography ISBN 0-628-02148-8 (Perskor, 1981), and most recently by Herman Charles Bosman: Between the Lines ISBN 1-77007-163-6 (Struik, 2005). The last of these contains much new research and deals in detail with aspects of Bosman's life and parentage that were previously considered taboo.
Because many of his stories were originally published in long-forgotten magazines and journals, there are a number of anthologies by different collators each containing a different selection. His original books have also been published many times by different publishers.
The Herman Charles Bosman Literary Society meets annually for readings, performances and discussions of his works.[4]

'Music to wake the living' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Consuelo Roland
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on October 31, 2012
This week, Undercover Soundtrack day falls on Halloween – shiveringly close to Mexico's El dia de los Muertos. And my guest has more than risen to the occasion with her award-winning literary novel The Good Cemetery Guide. It centres on a guitar-playing mortician's son and she built his life and loved ones from reggae, Texan ballads, traditional Mexican music, Phil Collins and Robbie Williams. You'll grin like a ghoul when you see what she took from Meatloaf. She is essayist, poet and novelist Consuelo Roland and she's on the Red Blog, sharing her Undercover Soundtrack.

Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on May 8, 2014.
The Iron Brick Safe is your Portable On-The-Go Laptop Safe. Secure tech stuff & valuables in your home, office, dorm or even on the Go!
This project's funding goal was not reached on May 8, 2014.
The concept for the Iron Brick Safe first arose through my efforts with DormCo.com. DormCo is a small - yet growing - online superstore for college dorm supplies. Selling everything a student needs for dorm life isn't easy, as the wide range of high-quality products students require at inexpensive prices could make any entrepreneur go crazy ... but to me, it's a fun challenge.
The Iron Brick Safe (a portable, on-the-go laptop safe) journey started about two years ago, when the need for a durable, secure and portable laptop safe was made apparent by our customers. More and more college students were heading to college with laptops and their vulnerable dorm rooms screamed, "Opportunity theft!" for those looking to make a quick buck. The market didn't have a quality, affordable laptop safe option that was also portable for the on-the-go college lifestyle, so I set out to invent such a product.
What occurred over the development stage wasn't just remarkable in how the Iron Brick Safe took shape, but it was also informative as to how much broader the Iron Brick Safe's scope and interest actually was! The need for a portable and effective laptop safe didn't just make it a must-have college product, but it became a no-brainer for anyone with a laptop. And it doesn't stop at laptops, as we learned the safe is also great for tablets, eReaders, jewelry, passports, money, diaries, medication, or anything else that someone needs locked up, portable and secure.
Our video, which I hope you find more funny than painful - due to poor acting by yours truly - shows all the everyday places that you'll need laptop security. Some of these places include:
·Your Home / Apartment - Locking and tethering the Iron Brick Safe's cable around your desk gives you security knowing that most thieves lack the time to mess with the Iron Brick Safe. With limited time, home thefts are usually about smash and grab opportunity, and stolen items are typically easily accessible. A laptop left alone on a desk would surely be gone, but the Iron Brick Safe prevents such an opportunity.
·College Dorms - When students move into college for the first time, it's exciting, fun and often everyone is in the same boat; no one knows each other. This is great for making friends, but it's also a time of great vulnerability. Dorm rooms are often left unlocked or a student's new roommate has people in and out whom they hardly know. Heck, when I was a freshman in college 15 years ago, there was a local guy who pretended he was a freshman. We all nicknamed him FLJ (Free Loading Jason). He had a great story as to why his dorm room 'wasn't ready yet', and with all of us being foolish freshmen, we believed his story—until everyone's valuables went missing, and so did FLJ! This extreme story, along with the basic realities of dorm life, makes a student's laptop, along with other valuables, at risk. Keeping your tech stuff locked up with the Iron Brick Safe is imperative. Beyond the need for room security, students are often on the go and working from their laptops in a variety of places that, at times, require keeping their laptops secure while they're out of sight.
·Public Places - Think of all the places you take your laptop. The two most common places are the coffee shop or, for students, the library. And what happens when you go to the bathroom? Get up to get a drink or take a walk? In these cases you either have to pack up your laptop, leave it on the table or ask a stranger to watch it. All of these options are less than desirable, but with the sleek design of the Iron Brick Safe, you can comfortably protect your laptop while on the go.
·Kids / Pets - I happen to have four kids (ages 1, 2, 3 and 4) ... yep, not a typo. They're great, but when it comes to touching Daddy's laptop, that's for Kickstarter filming only. By always having to put my laptop high and out of reach, or by expecting a toddler to listen to my instructions 'not to touch', I've found the Iron Brick Safe is the perfect solution for keeping my laptop accessible, yet safe from unwanted use. Now, I wish I had only had this product five years ago when my wild dog (Bella) jumped on my desk, causing my laptop to crash to the ground. Knowing the unpredictability of kids, dogs and cats, the Iron Brick Safe becomes a useful and effective barrier to all three of these laptop threats.
·Your Car - A show of hands ... who has left their laptop in their car? OK, you may all put your hands down. It's common … but it's probably not the most secure decision. Whether you go to happy hour after work or head to the gym, chances are your laptop is left in your car and at risk of theft should your car be broken into. Prevent the worry and add a major deterrent with the Iron Brick Safe.
·Office - Although the video jokes about selfies going viral, you just never know whose snooping eyes will catch a glimpse of your laptop and be tempted to open it. Your computer may be password protected, but an added layer of security doesn't hurt, and the Iron Brick Safe provides just that. The idea of keeping your laptop fully secure and enclosed will create positive peace of mind.
Although the engineered functionality of the Iron Brick Safe is patent pending, the overall ease of use is quite simple. Place your laptop or other valuable items in the safe, wrap the tethering cable around an immovable object and secure the cable head slots back in the safe. Your laptop is now ready to secure by closing the safe, inserting the key and locking. The patent-pending locking mechanism forms a triple lock to more readily prevent against prying thieves. There is hardened criminal theft and then there is everyday theft by those that see an easy opportunity and TAKE IT! The bulk of personal laptops and other accessories are stolen due to allowing others an easy opportunity. The Iron Brick Safe is designed to prevent, stop, slow down and deter opportunity theft.
Bringing the Iron Brick Safe to market has seemed like a long journey, but each step of the way has turned out to be an impactful and purposeful experience.
As discussed, it was discovering the product's need that first catapulted the idea of the Iron Brick Safe to the forefront. I like to call this the "dream sequence" ... this is where it is not uncommon for me to not be able to sleep at night as I dream up the next big idea. The problem is, 99% of the next big ideas never come to fruition, and I'm left fatigued and need to be hyped up on energy drinks the next day just to stay awake!
This idea, however, had legs. As I took visions of how the safe would look and how it would operate I saw it coming together ... but not so fast. First, I needed to have the concept engineered. To save cost I did this in a rough format, as I initially needed to know the cost of the safe's tooling mold and rough cost per unit. Knowing the costs would tell me two things: First, can I bring the Iron Brick Safe to market at a cost where consumers would see value in purchasing the safe? And second, can I afford the upfront costs to bring the safe to market before I sell any units?
What I discovered was that the Iron Brick Safe could be produced at a cost that made good business sense and solved a need for customers, but I also learned that the initial tooling costs were prohibitive. As DormCo.com saw success in the peak summer months of 2013, I was finally able to afford the tooling costs and other associated fees, including the all-important fees associated with making the Iron Brick Safe patent pending.
I wish I could say it was as easy as making payments and hitting the "Go Button," but it wasn't. I spent countless hours perfecting the safe's structure, locking mechanism and overall look. I've also diligently developed the logo, packaging and other elements necessary to create what you now see as a finished Iron Brick Safe that's ready to produce.
And that's where the item stands. Production costs are unfortunately high, and, understandably, I can't produce a few units at a time, as the cost per unit would then price the product too high. To launch this product correctly, I need to, at minimum, order 1000 units, but more realistically, I hope to order much more to further drive costs down and lower the retail price. As it stands now, if the Kickstarter goal is met, the Iron Brick Safe will launch into production and be able to retail for under $70.00. My bigger, more hopeful goal is to gain enough Kickstarter support to be able to launch the Iron Brick Safe under $60, or even at $50 if at all possible.
As you consider investing in the Iron Brick Safe project, I thank you for your time and backing consideration. Long live those with an inventive and creative mind and those who support their endeavors! Thank you!
The good news is that 98% of the risks and challenges of getting the Iron Brick Safe to completion have already been overcome, from the high tooling cost to the belabored back-and-forth of the design, features, security and every other nuance that took the Iron Brick Safe from idea to physical product. The last phase is production, and with high minimum-production-run costs, the last challenge is earning the trust from those around us to help get the project funded through Kickstarter.
Once funded, the Iron Brick Safe can produce within 30 days and will take another 30 days to ship (from China). Since I know the factory well and have produced my first invention with it over 10 years ago, I'm confident in the factory's quality and timely professionalism to construct the Iron Brick Safe to the high standards that have been set in the design and development phase. I am confident the Iron Brick Safe can ship by summer 2014 (mid-July).
Product Fulfillment Timeline Goal:
1. Launch project campaign in early April 2014
2. Funding secured by early May (30-day project)
3. Iron Brick Safe production to begin by mid-May
4. Production finishes within 30 days (by mid-June)
5. Shipping from our China factory to our warehouse takes 30 days
6. Iron Brick Safe reaches our warehouse by mid-July
7. Campaign goals/promises are met as the first Iron Brick Safes begin shipping to backers immediately upon receipt (mid-July)
Important note: This is an aggressive timeline, but it is essential that we meet this timeline because one of the key demographics for the Iron Brick Safe, college students, will need the product prior to heading off to school in late August. The comforting news for our backers is that we have already discussed the timeline goals with our factory, and they are fully prepared to meet our production deadlines should the Iron Brick Safe project achieve its funding goal.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Nordson ASYMTEK
Global Directory
Based on the popular SC-204/SC-104 applicators, the Select Coat® SC-280N/SC-280C film coaters provide the same precision and dependability for selective application of conformal coating materials, but with additional features and benefits
Nordson ASYMTEK's Select Coat SC-280N/SC-280C non-atomized film coaters provide automated, selective application of conformal coating materials with viscosities of less than 100 centipoise. Coating thicknesses range from 10 to 76 µm (0.0005 to 0.003 inch) for solvent-based materials.
With transfer efficiency more than 99%, the film coaters improve material utilization by 30 to 50 percent. Because the coating material is not atomized, over-spray, masking, and rework associated with conventional conformal coating processes are minimized.
With the addition of our Fifth-Axis Tilt Accessory, the applicators also have enhanced access to tight or hard-to-reach areas that may not be achievable with the standard downward approach (0 degrees).
The stainless steel fluid path provides compatibility with current coating materials. The design of the SC-280N and SC-280C are based on the Nordson ASYMTEK's popular Select Coat® SC-204/SC-104 film coater applicators, which has been an industry standard for many years.
The SC-280N and SC-280C applicators are available on the Select Coat® conformal coating system.

After LinkDotNET $130 Million Buyout, OTVentures a New Arab Internet & Tech Giant is Born
After Yahoo acquired Maktoob last year, many of Maktoob group companies were merged under one independent brand called Jabbar. Somehow similar precedence happened with Orascom Telecom's LinkDotNet 150 million USD buyout to Mobinil, but at a larger scale.
Orascom Telecom which is one of the largest tech and telecom groups in the Arab world, has been facing legal disputes with France Telecom as the 2 are biggest shareholders of Egyptian Mobile operator Cairo-based Egyptian Co., which operates under the brand Mobinil.
So on July 3rd 2010 Mobinil agreed to pay 130 Million USD to acquire the ISP unit of Orascom's LINKDotNet SAE and Link Egypt SAE as part of an agreement that settled the legal dispute between Orascom and France Telecom SA.
However, the non-ISP business unites were not part of the deal, so OTVENTURES was born as a new addition to the Orascom Telecom group.
The birth of OTVentures was announced on July 6th but overlooked by the mainsteam media, so here is quick profile of the new company which seems to be the largest indigenous Arab Internet play in terms of reach:
– OTVentures CEO is Hanan Abdel Meguid who is former CEO of Link Development.
– OTVentures says it hires 700 team members operating across over 17 countries.
The holding companies:
Founded in 2002, now one of the largest, if not the largest Arab Internet company with the following Portals:
MSN Arabia is the result of LinkOnLine partnership writhe Microsoft, MSN Arabia is available in English and Arabic. It covers Windows live services and the MSN Arabia Portal.
MSN arabia portal offers wide range of content such as: news, business and financial guides, technology, health, fitness and diet tips, entertainment games, and celebrity gossip games. The site is also integrated with other LinkOnLine products such as Otlob.
MSN Arabia uses MS bing as the default search engine after it abandoned LinkOnLine's own search Engine Onkush. As a Portal MSN Arabia main competitor is Yahoo Maktoob and as Bing is available in Arabic, Google is the main search competitor. However Aljazeera and other news and vertical sites might also be considered as competitors.
One the most popular Arabic portal geared towards egyptians, Masrway offers a wide array of content and services:
News, Classified, Jokes, Video sharing, Games (single and Multi player ), SMS ( 1-Egyptian and Saudi user subscribe can get news at the of cost 4 EP per month, 2- online paid service to send SMS to other mobile phones), TV Guide, E-Gov Services (links to e-gov services) Jobs ( integrated with Linkonline careermdieast job portal), Women channel, Thanaweya Amma ( high school results), Anti Women Harassment ( good job ), Music, Travel, Food Delivery (via LinkOnLine's otolb) Ketabat ( user generated Arabic content and news -citizen journalism), greeting cards, Hosting and Domains and webmail.
In operations since 2002 providing Arabic English, news and content for football leagues in the Arab region especially in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Tunisia & Morocco and most of the European and other regional tournaments in the world. The site also offers an Arabic fantasy Football competition and iPhone app.
YallaKora key competitors are: kooora.com, Filgoal (from Sarmady a Vodafone company in Egypt), Goal.com and Yahoo Maktoob Sports. Yallakora English version still has Onkush as a default search engine, seems the developing team forgot to add bing instead.
MSN Maghreb:
MSN Maghreb is a French version of MSN Arabia targeting French speaking users in countries like Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.
Arabic Music Portal offering legal Music Audio and Video streaming and Islamic Nasheed with the option to buy via "Credit Card", the site also provides online Audio & Video streaming and celebrity news.
On the entertainment front Saramady Vodafone company has Filfan a portal with content related to Music and cinema.
On Mobile, Nokia X6 Comes with Music offers free Music download for one year.
An online food ordering site through which orders can be placed to many restaurants in Egypt, UAE, KSA and Bahrin. And otlobmall.com a mall shopping site.
Entertainment and city guide for Cairo, covering major events, concerts, and cultural events.
Job recruitment site for the Arab world, according to the about page the site has 500,000 CVs which is 25% of Bayt's claimed CVs number. Careermideast currently offering free job posting for employers.
LinkonLine ID: is linkdotnet single login to all its sites.
Online bilingual gaming offering flash based single player & multiplayer games. The site says they will add Game Reviews Channel for reviewing the newest games worldwide. And a Fan Shop, for buying different elements "which will enhance gaming experience on el3ab." The site offers traditional Middle Eastern games such Tarneeb and chess.

The site offers users to: buy: download and view for a life time, renting: download and view for 48 hours and online streaming. Payment is via credit card or Linkdotnet cards.
Shofha uses unforunityly Microsoft's Silverlight platform instead of HTML 5.
Yahoo Maktoob on the other hand has formed recently a partnership with Rotana to use and stream Rotana's wide range of multimedia content, including music, videos, movies, concerts, TV channels and radio, through its upcoming Video Network channel for the Arabic speaking world.
Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Tala who owns Rotana is planning to launch a new Arabic television news channel in partnership with the Fox network. The Prince is also an investor in Rubert Murdoch's News Corp who in his part made recently a $70m investment for 9.1% of Rotana.

The other regional Data center we know of in the region is Bahrain based Kulacom data center in Jordan

At Idyllic, we believe that everything that happens to a person is the result of the choices he/she makes. The choice to work hard. The choice to make amends. The choice to excel. The choice to become better and better at what we do, every single day.
In a nutshell, this is what Idyllic is about. We don't force our people to do things. They choose to come in every single day and be the best possible version of themselves that they can possibly be. This is the energy we thrive on. This is our "Pursuit of Happyness".
"You take the blue pill the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
Morpheus in The Matrix.
We believe in going down that rabbit hole. Sure, it's simple to live the easy life, without ever challenging what you know because it does not seem smart to enter uncharted waters. But is being smart really the way to go? The smartest people in this world were once thought to be stupid. Stupid is a relative term, and that's why we applaud people who dare to be stupid.
Much has been said about the left and right sides of the brain. The natural assumption would be that programmers are essentially left‐brained but we don't exactly agree with that. Programming is about math. About logic. About strategy, analysis, accuracy and even familiarity. But great programming is also about creativity and imagination.
There isn't just one right way to do things. There are many. And the path to discovering a better way to do a task is through creativity yes, that's what the right brain is for.
At Idyllic, we encourage creativity. We don't believe in rules. We believe in people standing up for what they believe in, even though it may not seem like the right way. Right and wrong is subjective. All that matters is being tolerant to a different point of view.
And here's the tree in the center of our workspace. The tree is a constant reminder to always stay grounded and to not get carried away by whatever happens around us. Our humility has carried us this far and we hope it stays with us for the years to come.
As a member of our team, you're sure to be thrilled with the amount of freedom you have, and the opportunities you're presented with. All you have to do is grab every such opportunity that comes your way and express your opinions openly because we certainly want to hear them.

ANYONE WHO is unaware of the Philadelphia School District's financial troubles has either been in a coma for the last year . . . or on City Council.
Ever since he arrived to take over the job last fall, Superintendent William Hite has been telling one and all about the district's serious - perhaps fatal - fiscal condition. Thanks to large budget cuts, 1,000-plus layoffs and other drastic measures, the patient has stabilized.
But the district had to borrow $300 million to pay its expenses this year and it projects another $300 million shortfall for next year. Exact details are not known because the district is still in the process of working out its budget.

|Samsung brings new innovation to smart TVs
Friday, 23 March 2012 08:00
Samsung will bring three new concepts to its smart TV 2012 line-up to South Africa this year.
Speaking at the 2012 Samsung Africa Forum in Cape Town today, regional product manager for visual display at Samsung Electronics Africa, Dae Hee Kim says, "After receiving historical attention and positive reviews at CES 2012, we are proud to bring Samsung's beautiful line-up of new LED and Plasma TVs to the African region."
The company says that its three new concepts – smart interaction, smart content and smart evolution will redefine the way in which consumers manage their home entertainment experience and interact with their TVs.
Smart interaction will let consumers interact with their TVs with gestures, voice and facial recognition commands. Commands like switching the TV on or off, activation of apps or web searches are supported by 26 gestures in up to 30 languages.
Smart content lets users' share photos, memories, memos from the TV to the cloud and to other smart devices, as well as access the Internet and apps via the Samsung Media Hub.
Smart evolution means that all TVs in 2012 will allows users to 'upgrade' by installing kits, which will either enhance software or hardware .
Samsung has also announced that Angry Birds will run natively on all TVs this year; and to date, there are more than 28,000 smart TV apps available.
A new service called AllShare Play lets users upload and share multimedia content across Samsung compatible devices (smartphones, tablets, cameras and PCs) wherever a user may be. So content is accessible everywhere, no matter where it sits.
Samsung's new flagship TVs, the ES7000 and the ES8000 will be shipped with smart touch remote controls. It features a touchpad that acts like a mouse for easy web browsing and has an 'edge user interface' which allows for effortless changing of channels.
Additionally, the 2012 new smart TV line-up will support wireless connectivity of keyboards and mice.

Easalio is at it again with another tonal change within the #Mood series he has started a little over a month ago. Sitting on the mental ledge, the WPG member paints a picture of an apocalyptic world while expressing his thoughts on the people in it. "The street's flooded with Hennessy on the sidewalks/the bums happy, they walkin' round tryna find straws," he raps cleverly about the end times.
