EFC Smackdown! BY JESSICA LEVITT
So we know a Thursday night of blood, sweat and guts isn’t our usual kinda mid-week gig, but after EFC 3 we were so taken by the muscle bound men showing their bravado, that we had to attend EFC 4. Admit it! There’s something incredibly sexy about two men fighting it out in a ring.
Even though some of the advertised fights didn’t happen, we were still pretty impressed by all these guys who willingly threw themselves into a gladiator type battle with each other. For us, the stand out fight of the night was without a ...
Ladies, you deserve some pampering!
With Woman’s Day just around the corner, us ladies all deserve a little something to lift our spirits. Like having a cocktail or two, or three or four!
So, we’ve managed to get a Grey Goose recipe for cocktails to die for. Yes, we’ve tried it out and it works. And if you want more than free recipes, then best you enter their competition. All you have to do is name the cocktail (the pic) and you could win a night out on the town with four friends!

heat’s August Calendar hottie!
Geeky pink storage!
Verbatim 500gig Hard-drive
In a nutshell: Need cute-looking storage for all your digital goodies? Look no further!
What’s it like? Well, it’s a hard-drive, so it does hard-drivey things… like get plugged in and used for storage. It’s got a really posh finish, which along with the bright colour options, means it looks fab next to any computer! And it’s good to go out the box, so there’s no need to waste hours trying to set it up. Just plug ’n play, baby!
What’s hot? So much storage space in such a compact body ...
Customised gaming is the champ!
ModNation Racers (PS3)
In a nutshell: It’s a cutesy racer game that pushes customisation through the roof with online access to other tracks, cars, characters, and just about everything else!
What’s it like? Very arcadey. There’s still some demanding skills to get the hang of, such as drifting around corners to score points and putting your car exactly on the boost arrows on the track to earn boost points. But for the most part, it’s just fun!
What’s hot? The fact that you pretty much only need to know how to steer, brake and accelerate ...
Cake Boss hits our screens
Seriously, what could be better than watching a master chef put together all the bits for a magnificent cake. Okay, obviously getting to eat the entire masterpiece would be amazing, but at least this way you don’t pile on the kilos. So, if you aren’t learning enough from Cake Boss (it airs every day on channel 121 at 17:30) then you’ll be happy to know that we do have our very own magnificent cake chef in SA.
His name? Nicolas van der Walt! And he runs the FBI school of Pastry in Northrdiing. heat had the ...
It's webcam-snap time!
Logitech C905 Webcam
In a nutshell: It’s a hi-def webcam that also takes high-quality stills.
What’s it like? Wicked fast! The performance is amazing for such a tiny webcam that clips onto your laptop/flatscreen! It’s anything but an eyesore even though it’s still the dodgy gadget black, and it’s super-easy to use – just plug it in and you’re ready to start your video-flirting… er, conferencing…
What’s hot? The Carl Zeiss lens and its autofocus! You get great images no matter how far or near you are from the lens. And the specs ...
We love the iPad!
In a nutshell: It’s a big-ass iPod Touch that does so much more than just play music and browse the ’net.
What’s it like? Um, a big-ass iPod Touch! But better! Apple have really outdone themselves with this one… From the easy-to-use software and operating system, to the crystal-clear display and super-responsive screen, it’s hard-core geek technology at its sexiest!
What’s hot? It’s your one-stop entertainment and multimedia fix! From books and games, to online browsing and watching movies, there’s so much to do at the touch of a finger! You can also get ...
Idols: Durban audition stand-outs that will make you laugh and cry!
We have to hand it to M-Net – they’ve certainly upped their game for the sixth season of Idols! Last night’s Durban auditions were so jam-packed with all the ingredients for a hit show, we don’t even know where to start! So, here’s a list of of hits and misses:
HITS
Shylo: (picture above) Shylo nearly had us in tears with her story about being a recovering alcoholic. She certainly impressed all the judges with her powerful voice and there’s no doubt she’ll go far in the competition
Prime: Honestly, no one can turn down ...
Small size… serious sound!
Logitech S125i Portable Speakers
In a nutshell: It’s a mini portable speaker set/iPod dock from Logitech that not only plays tunes from your iPod, but also charges it at the same time!
What’s it like? Adorable! It’s so small, but still packs a serious punch when it comes to playing music! The sound is crystal clear, there’s a bass boost for extra oomph, and if you want to take it on a picnic where there’s a serious lack of extension plugs, fear not: it’ll run on batteries too! For up to 10 hours ...
