Some of my latest stories

Below are links to some of my latest articles...more to follow in future...
Android 3.0 Honeycomb
By Gareth van Zyl - Posted on January 9th, 2011I like the look of this operating system for tablets. It really takes cloud computing to the next level and hooks up with Google services in a very clever way. It's good to see that the developers of Android are also looking to help manufacturers out there create a competitor to some of Apple's products, which, let's face it, are great, but also overly-hyped.
Drupal 7, I like...
By Gareth van Zyl - Posted on July 26th, 2010I've recently being toying around with the latest alpha release of Drupal 7. I have to say, thus far I'm liking the look of the interface, and I appreciate the fact that there's been a realisation in the Drupal community that an easy-to-use UI and UX is what's going to help this very powerful CMS grow in future.
News24 slip-up on Twitter
By Gareth van Zyl - Posted on May 25th, 2010
I really admire the way News24 have embraced their twitter account @MyNews24. It's a really useful twitter account to follow for me, but, to my surprise, I came across the above slightly controversial tweet of theirs (which I retweeted and made a comment that I thought it was a "bit of a right-wing statement").
Future of Journalism
By Gareth van Zyl - Posted on May 24th, 2010
I recently had the opportunity to attend a panel discussion on the future of journalism. The event took place at The Shelter in Dubai, and was held in lieu of SAE Institute launching its Digital Journalism course.
Uber Geek Part 2
By Gareth van Zyl - Posted on May 22nd, 2010
Gotta love Google - they come up with the most brilliant ideas, and I think to date, this Pacman game on their landing page has been the best idea they've ever come up with.
