Re: [Skunkworks] Facebook Friend Suggestion Algorithm

Facebook tracks every page you go to after navigating away from it. It's the cookies that do this. Thats why facebook is able to suggest friends like that. Maybe you sent her an email, maybe visited her fb page or other social network?

My bets for mobile in 2012
by Mbugua Njihia 15 Nov '11

The thing about being in business is that you sometimes get ambushed to give your thoughts, predict markets and trends. So to the tweeps with whom I shared that interesting dissection of the mobile space at WordCamp in Naivasha, here is what I am betting on in 2012. Not much meat to the list cause that would be tantamount to telling you in details how I plan to make revenues in the coming months. http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/2011/list-my-business-bets-come-2012.html

Replace ERC with a simple software
by Jared Koyier 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

So a bunch of old geezers meet up every other month with calculators and pencils, 4hrs after the meeting fuel prices go up by unimaginable margins. Whatever formula they use always give a higher RRP for fuel. Is it just me who feels these guys can be replaced by a simple algorithm that can work these numbers on the fly without being subjective n without some sort of bias. Sent from my iPad

Orange 21Mbps 3G network...

Some frank opinions on this from end users. I've not been able to use this service since day and the modem could hardly detect the network so it would switch to egde speeds. I tried in 2 different locations, same result. -- The EL_Diablo is a metaphor...

Re: [Skunkworks] Co-op Bank

Disclaimer, i dont work there, This is what happens with banks; when u open an account with bank X, in this case coop, they get all ur details in hard copy. They input all the soft details like name, address, etc as u wait to be allocated an acc number. Details like signatures, thumb prints, etc are sent to their head offices for scanning then distributed to their branches for updating. This physical movement of your signature takes time.

Tusker (what a name! O'm thirsty already), In most cases, banks apply such crap to avoid lawsuits n unnecessary tussles. Plus they r governed bt CBK's kyc n some weird KBA rules. I've two accounts with coop m @ one point, they denied me cash coz the signature was older in one of the accounts. I've never changed ever since n whenever I use the YEA acc, I askthemyo confirm with the biz one.

Compare western union, moneygram its all about a key word or sth of the sort. Mpesa ATM and the likes its a PIN no. Going to a bank that has you as the signatory, plus them having a photo of you. depositing ...is a piece of cake, withdrawing. Rocket science. regards, Tusker 21 On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 11:16 PM, Job Muriuki <muriukin(a)gmail.com> wrote: I had a situation where an joint account had no signatories after taking our pic and signs twice. we left that account.
