Last week during a business trip to New York I stopped by to check out Zenofon in Brooklyn. Turns out to my amusement is a one man operation ran by the CEO's and also owner of Traif Bike Gesheft (which is Yiddish for "non-kosher bike shop"). An activist and friendly eccentric Jewish guy... http://www.facebook.com/baruch.herzfeld who in addition to keeping chickens in his back yard....came up with the idea of.. now check this ...a vending machine for bicycle repair parts for his clients. Of tremendous help during those late night punctures when his shop is closed. I came across http://www.zenofon.com/services/ internet cards for calling Kenya @ 7.5cents/min last November through his website http://www.zenofon.com/?AV16G and have been hooked ever since. Sholem Aleychem! "Peace upon you!" Regards, N. Kenyatta Gray +1 (415) 754 ~ 3179 ________________________________ http://google.com/profiles/nkenyattagray

Gmail getting smarter
by Gichingiri Kuria 27 Mar '10

I use Google Apps on my domain. When sending out an email, I got this alert and found it very cool: Did you mean to attach files? You wrote "Attached is" in your message, but there are no files attached. Send anyway? Then came the buttons of ok or cancel. Have a great day with cheap thrills -- Gichingiri Kuria _________________________________________ www.website.co.ke / www.sokoletu.co.ke

Vista CPU Usage
by Tech List Kenya 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi Listers, <refer to attached image> I just gotta ask - how does Vista calculate the CPU usage percentage? In XP, and all the other OSes av used they used to add up to the total % given. This one clearly doesn't add up - the sum of individual processes usage comes nowhere close to the 99% being reported.
