"No problem. I hated the casting of 2009 film because I'm also hardcore Trekkie (I go to conventions). Anyway the theatre projector broke, so I could not watch it."

"You must admit that Joburg would not be half as much fun without these sleazy foreign nationals who so easily cross our borders on a daily basis."

"Hey Jake why do you feel so strongly about this? I was not convinced about JJ Abrams remake and new actors. The continuity is an import aspect but having no Trekkie series is a big vacuum."

"Congratulations to Xoliswa. We need more people like her to lead by example. NYDA has assisted me on several occasion and I highly recommend the organisation to young people starting businesses."

"Famous quotes by Vuyo Mbuli "sharp sharp", "Goeie genade!" and full pronunciation Jacob "Gedleyihlekisa" Zuma. May your soul rest in peace and condolences to your family."

"For the longest time I've said that each province should have a compulsory indigenous language taught in primary school and optional in high school. The language should be the other than English the dominant language in the area. Zulu for KZN, Xhosa for Eastern Cape and Afrikaans for Western Cape is a good start. Do we really need two languages in grade 12 to complete matric? I don't think so."

"Companies can also benefit in terms of productivity and privacy. The biggest challenge with allowing social media in the workplace is keeping private information confidential."

"Wow! I will go to visit this school when I go back to China this year. They should have mentioned one of Jet Li's earlier movies, Tai Chi Master (1993)."

"Who are getting these tenders? If I'm not mistaken R30 billion can pay off the highway expansion and avoid eTolls all in one fail swoop. Government is the most inefficient mechanism for economic growth in Gauteng and anywhere else. Especially a government influenced by Communists."

"Education is valuable, our school system failure is the problem. No politician understands the full extent of the problem, and they will never be able to remedy the situation. Parents and families are the foundation that is broken here. If parents do not teach children how to be participate in the political process, nobody will do that. In my experience the more education you are in South Africa, the less interested you are in politics. For me I stopped voting in national elections, period."

"Wow! I'm surprised Amazon has not evaluated these options. Retailers in South Africa like Edgars Group is notorious for selling on customer information to 3rd parties. What people have already spent money on is more valuable than what they're thinking about at any given moment."

"Who the hell is ActiveTechPros? I've never heard of them. The ITWeb Salary Survey is the definitive measuring stick for IT industry professionals. Computer Society should really be involved with the ITA if any organisations still matter."

"This is fantastic news for local mobile app development. MXit user base was always loyal and will likely remain loyal over the medium term. It does help if you are using MXit yourself before you begin throwing around concepts for app development."

"For me I could live without unions and allow the free market to dictate. Milton Friedman's Free To Choose 10-part tv series shows clearly how inept government regulation is to the economies where they exert too much power. In South Africa the marriage of unions to ANC is double trouble."
