R.I.P. Pirate Bay?
by Simon Mbuthia 29 Nov '10

The web is awash with news of tpb's failed appeal and the 46m kr. fine slapped on it's founders. So some deeply saddened dude claims that if tpb is guilty of copyright violations, then road builders are guilty of all road carnages. Discuss. (10 mks) In other news, some anon devs have revived LimeWire. (Google for more info). Me.

Africa Online - Infinet Service
by aki 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

At one time, the technology investment done on the iBurst broadband platform was indeed ahead. I've looked up their site on various offering and it does not seem to be clear what they offer. For example the "infinet easy" service is of 4GB allocated bandwidth and @Ksh4999 +VAT. Has anyone used the infinet service bundles and would they share their experiences on the following : - How congested at peak times? What is the minimum data transfer rate in KILOBYTES/SEC? - How congested at off-peak times? What is the minimum data transfer rate in KILOBYTES/SEC? - How is the VOIP facility on shared bandwidth? Do you get a lot of drops on voice convestations? Does the voice sound muffled and is there any echos? - 4GB allocated bandwidth Do they provide a meter for the consumed bandwidth? - For home Wifi, does the modem support built-in wifi or is an external one needed? - Do they charge extra when one exhausts the allocated bandwidth? - If you know of coverage areas? - Link & Service reliability? Assume you want to do a large download, do the connections drop so you have to start all over again? Orange 3g+ has gone over the "patience rule". Frequent drops, very un-even speeds and lower throughputs. Hopefully when 3g comes online, they will improve on the 3g+ service. Rgds.

Can I be arrested for playing mp3s in my cyber?
by Claire Njoki 28 Nov '10

28 Nov '10

Hi Guys, A friend told me that if I play music in my cyber cafe the MSCSK (I think that is the abbreviation) will be on my case...aka arrested and thrown into a cell or basically harassed thoroughly:-( Is that true? The music I play is just MP3s ripped from many CDs. None of the music is even local... What if I play music streaming from online radio? Please advice...urgently! Claire.
