Land Cruisers Vs Patrols

Happy new year skunks... generally speaking, how do these models compare in terms of service costs, endurance, parts and resale value in the Kenyan market. How hard is it to get on your feet if you say, burn the clutch in Merti, or burst your gasket in doldol...

The Rise and Rise of Android
by Kevin Ouma 05 Jan '11

Skunks The other day I bought a relatively fairly priced Android Phone for my wife at 13,000 and after a few days of working with it, looks miles ahead of my Nokia Phone that cost me 50k. It seems like all app developers are leaning towards Iphone or Android apps Nowadays. In my honest opinion Android is likely to be the mass market platform of the future and will considerably reduce the barrier for the masses to access high end smartphones at low prices. The Graph below should be a scary trend for apple and RIM ( don't know about OVI at this point) Apple seems to be having a slow growth, RIM is declining while Android is growing like crazy. If I were Nokia, I would definitely go the Android route. [image: BlackBerry November2010 Android Closing in on BlackBerry U.S. Market Share [Study]]

Got a suggestion, Technologically speaking, is there a way ICT infrastructure can be designed in such a way that if i call 911 in chalbi deseart (on the same trip i intend to go on a LC and not be lion fodder) the call can be routed to the nearest police station, better still, how much would it cost the government to require all telephone providers to offer this as a free service in exchange for the loads of taxpayers money we pay?

OT: is it 53 or 120? (methinks it is 13)
by Claire Njoki 05 Jan '11

Hi Skunkers, Yesterday I caught a glimpse of that annoying gameshow on KTN that comes after the prime news. The annoying lady with an annoying voice was asking the following question: 11 x 2 + 32 - 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1 = ? She even told the gamblers that the answer is either 53 or 120. After almost 2 hours of "waiting" for callers to give her an answer...apparently people were "not calling"...someone called and said that the answer is 120. She said, Correct!!!! You are the winner of Ksh. 160,000... Anyway, fellow skunkers, my calculation shows that the answer should actually be 13. What do you guys think is it 13? Claire.
