Has anyone been able to purchase music from itunes lately. Do let me know how you went around the country restriction hack. I have tried putting US but I think it detects that the card on my paypal account is a non USA card. Cheers Kevin

[New Report] Mobile Platforms: The Clash of Ecosystems
by Mbugua Njihia 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

VisionMobile have been researching and helping to educate the industry about mobile platforms for the last five years. In this time mobile software has evolved from the world of "open OS" to the world of complex ecosystems, network effects, app stores which are redefining the rules of telecom industry. Today they share much of this knowledge in Mobile Platforms: The Clash of Ecosystems report - a critical analysis of major mobile platforms and their battle for dominance. Mobile platforms are at the center of the epic battle between Internet and telecom giants. The competition is not just about technology, performance, user interface or openness. Today's mobile platforms win and lose by the strength of their ecosystems of developers, service and content providers.

SKUNKOLUTION 1.0
by Watchman 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Greetings all skunks. We debated*** in the past and had little resolved. *I'd like to introduce a non-destructive fully logical solution. THE SKUNKOLUTION 1.0 SKUNKOLUTION 1.0 is a revolutionary way to introduce two major aspects of the skunkworks mail forum to all who subscribe to it. There are two primary functions of **SKUNKOLUTION 1.0**. 1. SKUNK-AD-DAY 1.0* *2. REVIEW-MY-SITE 1.0 * * UNDERSTANDING SKUNK-AD-DAY 1.0 *In order to keep Skunks in the loop of what's available, what's new whats happening and what you'd like to sell ****SKUNK-AD-DAY *is a revolutionary method of alerting you weekly. Instead of Ad's showing up when and if with multiple threads, they will be listed once a week on a single thread starting Monday Morning to end on Sunday of that week with the subject line: *SKUNKWORK-ADS-DAY(DATE) **XX/XX/XXXX *This new method of mail tracking would bring some conformity to the threads and tie up those loose advert threads. *REVIEW-MY-SITE *This is a key part of our weekly activities here on Skunkworks. By organizing it in a single thread, we facilitate a simpler movement and navigation of mails from our standard inbox's to bring us a more manageable, and transparent view of the site's being reviewed weekly leaving other threads to facilitate their talk without a cluttered inbox. The subject line for this on a weekly would be: *REVIEW-MY-SITE (DATE) XX/XX/XXXX* - There's just, *ONE MORE THING**.* * THE OT-TALK* There's a lot of Off-Topic conversations that take place on the list. While it is understandable that this is bound to happen, formalizing it with one thread a week will help maintain a bit of order. *THE OT-TALK (DATE) XX/XX/XXXX* Thank you for participating in *V1.0* We hope we will have a clean and smooth run. * W.* *As per prior SKUNKWORKS discussions regarding adverts, ( search Skunkworks ADs / Skunkworks Adverts in your mails or weekly digests )* tech sales *are a *GO* while *NON-TECH SALES* are not permitted on-list. * Disclaimer: I am not a mod. Neither am i pretending to be one. I am simply a concerned Skunkian. The mods may have their say but i propose this should be the norm. * -- get to know more about me <http://about.me/rahiminkara>.*<http://about.me/rahiminkara> * this list is being *watched.*

08 Nov '11

Hi All, Am considering doing this, and just wondering if anyone has experience with The Standard & The Daily Nation digital subscriptions specifically on the iPad - how is the delivery? (newstand or standalone app) and is it the full page to page & searchable? Any other info that may make it enticing would be appreciated. ./Ok3ch
