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.

Google TV

Did I miss this discussion on a thread? I think Google launching an Android-based TV functionality is big news. Which means with enough bandwidth our viewing experience is not restricted to KTN, NTV, Citizen etc These media companies become content providers in a sea of "unlimited" content. I know this spells nightmare for digital rights but more so for these media houses which depend on advertising revenue. It follows then that my adword appears on TV, Search for TV shows using the all powerful search engine ... now that's a disruptive trend.

Is really receiving a phone call can kill you? I got this email, see below that says it can!? (the hoax email)Hi All , Its very important news for all of you. Do not pick up calls from the Under given numbers. 9888308001, +91 9316048121 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting +91 9316048121 end_of_the_skype_highlighting, 9876266211, 9888854137, 9876715587 ,These numbers will come in red color, if the call comes up from these numbers. Its with very high wave length, and frequency. If a call is received on mobile from these numbers, it creates a very high frequency and it causes brain ham range. It's not a joke rather, its TRUE. 27 persons died just on receiving calls from these numbers.
