CHANGING JOBS TO JOIN A COMPETITOR
by Anthony Lenya 01 Dec '10

01 Dec '10

Hi all, I have been wondering if there is a basis in law preventing someone from changing jobs to join a competitor (a similar business). I know most organizations have a clause in their employment contract preventing an employee for working for a similar business for a certain duration of time. But I see it happening in the media industry and Telcos all the time. Also, I remember sometime back a judge throwing out such a case (a media house against some employee) on the basis that the employer could not deny a person the use his skills to earn a living. Any skunks out there who are familiar with the law, please shed some light. Regards, Lenya

3 Companies NEVER TO SHARE an Idea With!
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

I had a very interesting encounter with individuals involved in the advertising, music and entertainment industry and I came out with a very stern warning. Never ever share your ideas with any of the following companies: - A Certain Royal Media company - There are numerous incidents where people have gone to them to present their original program ideas, they are told to wait for management to decision,only for them to see their programs running under different names such examples wedding show, Nairobi Law etc to mention afew. Queen Bee -Need I say more? A listed Advertising Company - Close associates of Queen Bee, and The Media Company they command so much clout that they feel indestructible. They also did the Safaricom AD and yes the brief was done with a copy of the Quantas AD. This warning also includes sharing the same ideas with employees of the companies, and their families. Basically, they ask is Utado? consider yourself warned. Kiania D. -- [Asentric Consulting Ltd] "You don't build a business, you build people who build your business for you" - Brad Sugars

OT: Dont be fooled
by imelda 30 Nov '10

John and Jane each have accounts at forty different Websites. John uses the same password at all of them because it is too difficult to maintain multiple passwords in his head, while Jane uses a password manager to ensure she can use a different password for each site without having to remember any of them. Both of them have memberships at example.com, and by some twist of fate they both end up using the same password, OJ01GzVWR5. In fact, they both use the exact same forty Websites. Along comes Pat, a malicious security cracker. Pat manages to bypass the incredibly deficient security at example.com and download the unencrypted database of usernames and passwords. With this database in Pat’s grasp, the malicious security cracker makes a list of a hundred high-value Websites, mostly including financial institutions. Pat starts running the username and password pairs in the unauthorized copy of the authentication database. Because Pat’s strategy involves entering each username and password combination only once, a direct attempt to access each of the hundred sites once per account name is all that is needed. This neatly avoids problems like the potential of being locked out of a highly secured site. In fact, it turns most sites — however well-designed — into a trivial exercise to access under someone else’s credentials, as long as some people use the same username and password everywhere. The end result is that Jane’s bank account remains secure, while John’s gets cleaned out the next day, and it is all because he took the advice of some security “expert” whose credentials largely consist of a piece of sheepskin and a job at a big-name security vendor that does not actually produce anything innovative. Sometimes, though, when advice sounds too good to be true, that is because it is not true. The perfect example is when someone tells you that you do not need unique passwords to be secure.

Zuku on Ubuntu (direct without router)
by Gichingiri Kuria 30 Nov '10

30 Nov '10

Hi all, I'm using Zuku on Ubuntu connected directly, without a router. It worked fine a few days after the connection then lost network. It says ethernet not connected. I tested the machine on a different Zuku connection with a router and it worked fine, so hardware is working. A MacBook connected directly without router works, so internet connection is working. Zuku customer care are not very helpful so far. Is there anyone with a similar setup?
