Last year Christmas 2011AD must have left many a Jamaican in the New Year 2012AD dry as a bone, a financial state often expressed in the phrase “Tamarind Season”.

Posted by Horace on November 9, 2011 | 1 Comment

I have had an interesting relationship with LIME over the last few years; from praises to criticisms, then more criticisms, then praises… One of the prime issues I have had with LIME is their tendency to pull and discontinue potentially killer promotions and services, it is like unveiling the latest long-ranged stealth 5th generation aircraft, unnerving your opponent with it to...

It could be argued that Steve Jobs and Apple indirectly... Read more »

I regret allowing it to slip through my fingers as although I watched many a trailer and gameplay... Read more »
