A foreign company went ahead and localized its content for he region. meanwhile the call for the local ICT crowd to "develop local content" continues.

Some facts aren't easy to swallow. Given that: - land area (http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+germany+size) Kenya - 224 962 mi^2 (square miles) Germany - 137 847 mi^2 (square miles) Now consider these facts: - road length (http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+germany+road) Kenya paved road length - 8933 km (kilometers) Germany road length - 644 480 km (kilometers) - railway length (http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+germany+rail) Kenya - 1726 miles Germany - 29 959 miles - GDP (http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+germany+gdp) Kenya - $29.51 billion per year (US dollars per year) Germany - $3.317 trillion per year (US dollars per year) Germany's GDP is approximately 11 THOUSAND PERCENT larger than Kenya's (according to WolframAlpha.com) - literacy rates aren't spectacularly dissimilar (http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+germany+literacy) Kenya - 85.1% Germany - 99% So what's the problem? Perhaps literacy rates aren't correlated much with GDP (check out the scatter-plot at http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=literacy+vs.+gdp) whereas road and rail networks seem to be much more correlated to GDP (scatter-plots at http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=roads+vs.+gdp and http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=railway+vs.+gdp respectively) - More general stats at http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+germany On a "brighter" note: at least we're marginally better than Madagascar (http://www67.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=kenya+vs.+madagascar) Saidi

OpenID comes to Facebook, at last
by Nicholas Loki 20 May '09

20 May '09

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13577_3-10243774-36.html Just to quote the above article: "Most notably, you can now register for a Facebook account with your Gmail account, or can link an existing Facebook account with Gmail or other OpenID-participating services if they support automatic log-in." Does this mean that the world is finally becoming a global village? Consider this, if your Gmail account can be used to register and link to your Facebook account and vice versa, what happens when all the other major players come on board? Chaos? Or bliss? "Excellent people exceed expectations".
