#BizTrends2024: Yesh Surjoodeen, MD HP Southern Africa, explains how PCs can win in 2024
January 31, 2024 15:50 - 18 minutes - 8.9 MBThe PC market is going through a time. They're losing market share to the Mac. Losing mind share because of a technology gap that is growing because they are relying on 3rd party suppliers like Intel and AMD. Who better than Yesh Sujoodeen, MD for HP South Africa to explain what the future of the PC looks like. “I think that during the pandemic era, we had a lot of demand for devices that allowed people to be online, to socialise, to communicate, and to be in touch. So I think it's the righ...
#BizTrends2024: Wayne Toms, GhostDraft CEO, talks about AI convergence in CCM
January 30, 2024 22:25 - 32 minutes - 15.5 MBThere’s a line in Redemption Song that goes “have no fear for atomic energy” and it speaks to a post-World War II mistrust of science. We’re in the moment right now with AI. GhostDraft has been automating customer communications since 1984 and the current CEO Wayne Toms thinks that 2024 is the year that AI gets elevated above the hype cycle as an integral communications tool. "CCM is essentially the software that automates the production and delivery of all types of written documents, but e...

ep.12 | Uber is going green for clout
March 22, 2023 22:11 - 15 minutes - 7.43 MBThere were about 14,463 Uber trips made in each minute of 2022 across the 900 cities where you can get an Uber. Uber, however, doesn’t say how many of those trips were in electric vehicles, but does say that it saved over 18 million litres of petrol from the 25,000 EVs in its global fleet. In 2008 Travis Kalanick pitched the idea of Uber to possible investors as the convenience of a cab in New York City plus the experience of a being driven by a professional chauffer. The idea was to marry t...
ep.11 | Green Hydrogen sounds like a scam.
March 02, 2023 13:58 - 19 minutes - 15.3 MBYou know the just energy transition South African president Cyril Ramaphosa is always talking about? It’s going to cost an estimated one and a half trillion Rand to get started. Of course the bulk of that money will be spent on overhauling the electricity sector, but it is an ENERGY transition, which means changing how we do all fuels that power our economy. One of those fuels is Hydrogen. One out of every five rands spent on the Just Energy Transition will be put towards kickstarting the ...
ep. 10 | Microsoft has been doing AI for years
February 20, 2023 06:30 - 20 minutes - 19.1 MBMicrosoft took the fight to its competitors in the consumer space when it added the OpenAI’s GPT engine into its search engine Bing, and its Edge browser and now everyone is in love with a moody chat bot… What a time to be alive. But this isn’t Microsoft’s first rodeo or even its first billion dollar investment into OpenAI. First, the company was founded by a consortium that included Elon Musk and Amazon Web Services. Then it built out those awesome game bots that owned Dota champs, and took ...

October 31, 2022 23:12 - 19 minutes - 18 MBChristiano Ramos (or Tiano in the game), the best Call of Duty Mobile player in the country – or the continent, depending on who you’re speaking to – says high refresh rate displays are a massive benefit. Specifically, the ability to lock framerate on a game. If you believe the marketing and the popular youtubers, you’d think that high refresh rate displays on mobile devices are a transformative technology. High framerates make the game play more fluidly and you see every movement. Details...
ep.8 | Portchie NFTs spread joy to digital lives
October 20, 2022 11:06 - 12 minutes - 10.8 MBThere is no touching in the metaverse, no floral fragrances in Web3, and DeFi is distinctly flavourless. The promise of the digital world is a stark – because minimalism is encouraged due to development constraints – existence without the comforts of life. But artists like Jan Hendrik Viljoen, better known as Portchie, are bringing beauty to our second lives and making a little bank with Non-Fungible Tokens. Artist Kevin McCoy claims that he was the first person to mint an artwork NFT. The p...
ep.7 | Quality is the casualty of the music streaming wars.
October 14, 2022 21:24 - 18 minutes - 15.7 MBHumans, on average, listen to 18.4 hours of music each week. That’s equivalent to around 368 three minute audio tracks.

Over that time period music streaming listenership increased by 51 percent and now constitutes 23 percent of all music consumed by humans. Radio takes a mere 16 percent of the listening pie, but i...

Ian McNaught Davis) Ian is one of the most accomplished photographers I know and not only because of his masters in photography that he achieved abroad, but rather the fact that he has been a photographer in an active war zone.

October 06, 2022 05:29 - 3 minutes - 2.78 MBBritish pound volatility, the imminent Credit Suisse liquidity crisis and the European gas situation contributed to a 3 percent gain for Bitcoin. The premier crypto has arrived at the $20 000 level again and things could go either way.

ep.5 | How big tech is trying to fix recycling
September 30, 2022 19:43 - 9 minutes - 8.5 MBThat’s James McCall, chief sustainability officer at HP. Yes, I’m back in the desert, but this time I’m taking about ocean bound plastics. Specifically the stuff HP is using in 99 percent of its new devices. You see, plastic manufacturing is actually a bit of a scam. On 18 July 2017 the sovereign nation of the People’s Republic of China filed a notification of technical barriers to trade with the World Trade Organisation. This is a routine process and the WTO gets dozens of these a week. No...

September 29, 2022 05:18 - 3 minutes - 2.74 MBBitcoin retreats from $20300 in wake of USD surge and BoE debt counter. XRP was an early winner, but QNT had a spectacular Wednesday.

ep.3 | How Huawei is making its comeback
September 15, 2022 12:57 - 15 minutes - 12.9 MBNot many tech commentators gave Huawei a chance after the company was hit with sanctions that stripped it of its ability to source from US intellectual property. With no access to Google Mobile Services or even 5G connectivity, and unable to manufacturer its own silicon chips, Huawei fought back with a software response. We will never see the HarmonyOS brand in South Africa, but that doesn’t mean we won’t benefit from the interconnected ecosystem advantages that it brings. And this is how Hu...
