Great quote on Affirmative Action in SA

“South Africa is the only country in the world where affirmative
action is in the favour of the majority who has complete political

structures, such that their only solution is to take it from others.”

Battery life is boosted to with 35 odd hours of music playing and about 5 to 6 hours video playback, if you use it for a lot of WiFi and gaming it's battery life comes down to 2 to 3 hrs (constant use). And the intuitiveness and seamlessness with which app's work and function is in a league of its own, seriously. The reason I took the plunge... besides the glorious design is the fact that we have a App Store in SA now so applications and games can...
