You can send and recieve money, buy and sell stuff on the net using paypal as long as the site and/or services in use support it. If you selling something on ebay or recieving cash from one fo your relas abroad, so long as they are able to use paypal, it's as easy as abc.....

Just the thought that the future of MySQL, Java, Netbeans, OpenSolaris and so many more open source applications now lie in the hands of Oracle gives me shivers up my spine. regards, Simiyu

Motorola Android- Make or Break for them ?
by ndungu stephen 02 Nov '09

I have been following phone news lately - mainly because it affects 'us' one way or another-- When the Apple iphone first showed up, the phone manufacturers said "...The devices are too expensive, besides, our market share is much more,, it will take time to catch up.." Two years later, the story changes, motorola and sony-e phones are on their way to the negative margins, mototola more on the negative... and Apple takes 20% of total mobile handset profits despite selling only 5.2 million units in the quarter... Not to mention that they are now one of the biggest media online sales company, churning sales in mp3 [lets go after wall mart], books [lets go after amazon] , apps etc [nokia leads the pack though, at 50% with diverse handsets for all prices and uses] Motorola has had to re-think its "smart phone" production as a way to hit back from below the x-axis to somewhere above it by relaunching this new device... http://motorola-android.com/ Will they make it ? What has Google Android and iPhone done right ? http://motorola-android.com/

I heard a rumor about someone getting the GPS locations for the towers (base stations) for the mobile operators in Kenya. Anyone know anything about that? Erik Hersman www.AfriGadget.com www.WhiteAfrican.com

open source or freeware...... does kenya contribute to development of Open Source?
by aki 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Monday morning buzz. From a programming point of view, does Open source mean freeware? As an example, I googled ubuntu to see if any kenyan is developing apps or " ports " for this and have been unable to get any info. How many times has this list been queried about a simple PPP dailer function for eg Ubuntu, yet I've not read anywhere if someone has written and " ported " a script or a " kenyan PPP dialer using local avaliable modems technology " ? I understand the typical scenario of php and mysql which really is an end use but what about improving the OS functionality itself? Shida ni nini? Pls correct as necessary. :-) Asante.
