Sony are making an impressive mark in the world of professional photography. They’ve just launched the Alpha A9 II in South Africa, which holds true to its promise of being built for speed.

Overall, it’s a great set that offers a wonderfully exuberant listening experience.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo announced its entry into the South African market. Already a key player in the Chinese and Indian markets, Vivo Mobile has its eye on the budget sector – and will have two phones available that offer decent specs at affordable prices.

With new technology comes new ways to steal, and Twitter happens to be crawling with bots programmed to pick up on complimentary tweets and grab the material that has earned such praise like a maggot on rotting meat. It’ll be mere minutes before the algorithms find the art, convert it into a file and plaster all over actual T-shirts which you can buy, albeit at the expense of the artist whose livelihood depends on them not being taken advantage of like this by unscrupulous vendors.

That, of course, doesn’t mean cheap. 1MORE uses quality components and exceptional design to deliver superlative audio gear for a discerning listener who can’t afford the top-shelf stuff, or audiophiles who want something they can lug about with them without having to worry about increased personal insurance premiums.
