Anyone with Orange 3G+ Internet Everywhere EVDO on Linux?!
by Mark de Blois 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi guys, Just wanted to find out whether someone managed to get the Orange EVDO modem working under Linux. I tried under Ubuntu 9.10 and am nog getting any carrier response, though I am sure it must be possible (I was able to connect under 9.04 I believe). I am hoping to use the Ubuntu box as an internet gateway for my LAN. Orange's deal of 1 KES per 1Mb seems to be one of the better deals. cheers, -- Mark Upande P.O.

HUAWEI MODEM E160 UNLOCKING
by Charles Mwangi 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi guys, To all of you who own a locked huawei modem, good news is that you can unlock it today free of charge To unlock your modem post your modem IMEI in this thread I will generate the unique unlock key from the provided IMEI (only for today) Then put a different network subscriber sim card other than the one its locked to you will get a prompt asking you for network unlock key. Key in the unlock digits and presto your modem is now unlocked. You can thereafter use any subscriber sim of your choice. Remember to go to tools menu, options, then profile management and create an entry that corresponds to your preferred network operator. actually the only parameter u need to change for the different providers is the APN Enjoy and regards, Charles.

Mixit: Safaricom Rules
by David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd 03 Jun '10

For all the flack Safcom gets on this list we have to give them marks for innovation and forethought. In today's newspaper they have launched Mixit (http://www.mxitlifestyle.com/) is a Peer-to-Peer IM client that runs on mobile-to-mobile and desktop-to-mobile. While some see this as cannibalizing SMS revenues, it's a stroke of genius because they still stand to make cash from the data traffic as opposed to loosing it to a competitor all together. (Rule No. 4 in business: Cannibalize your revenue and business model before your competition does it for you) After declining to support Mixit as a product, MTN SA now looses more than 8M Rand (KES 80M) a day, and the sad part, the app runs on their platform on either gprs/edge. Kudos Safaricom, You Rock! Kiania

Suicides at iPad factory in China revealed, Something rotten at Apple's core?
by aki 02 Jun '10

02 Jun '10

As the iPad is launched in Britain, a special investigation now reveals the full shocking toll of suicides at its Chinese factory. A once pretty 17-year-old lies crippled in a hospital bed two miles from the factory where she worked long, tedious hours checking the screens of Apple iPads for tiny flaws. Her parents brood silently at her bedside. At 8am one morning in March - just 40 days after she began her first job at Apple's main supplier, Foxconn, in southern China - Tian Yu took the decision to leap from her fourth-floor dormitory rather than take her place on the production line. Tian survived but must wonder if she would not have been better off dead. After two weeks in a coma, she woke to find herself paralysed from the waist down, unable to sit up by herself and suffering from fractures and liver and spleen damage....
