Free Software Foundation and Open Source..
by aki 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

After reading more, I have more respect for the FSA than Open Source. Seems I owe Freedom Software Foundation an apology for not having read the thin lines that get blurred between FSF and OSS, they have clearly defined their views. Free Software Foundation defines FREE SOFTWARE as FREEDOM and not FREE BEER! Bottomline. Really nice, these people seem to be following ethical lines of why they started out. Is OSS following ethical lines? I'm reading further, things like GPL keep coming into the research. If you practise commerce on Open Source, what are your limitations of licenses that built the OSS? A question to LINUX followers : Why did Linus build a Unix-Like kernel? Was the Unix Kernel not released to public use or what were the restrictions then? *Interesting times ahead......but please share your inputs.* Proprietary software seems is so easy to understand. As easy as our Mobile Developers going to see IP rights lawyers before they go see Telcom Operators? -- **Sent from my Microsoft/Intel based computer. Affordable & reliable computing for Decades**

Samsung Targeting A More Local Approach to the Region
by King'ori J. Maina 18 Apr '12

Wasup guys, Check out this article on the Business Daily<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Samsung+targets+rural+folks+with+solar+c…> ; Samsung targets rural folks with solar charged laptop<http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Samsung+targets+rural+folks+with+solar+c…> I didn't even know that Samsung was here locally! Seems like Kenya, thanks to Ushahidi & iHub is quickly becoming the destination of choice for all these tech firms ... they've got a local Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilekenya) and Twitter ( https://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileKE) accounts to engage their audience. What do you guys think about this move?

Hello guys, I just read a skunk on someone who was asking for a PMI Accredited institute in Kenya. I took my course at http://www.iapm.co.ke/ and just did my PMP exam on Monday 15th August 2011 and guess what, I PASSED :) Anyone who wants to be a PMP I recommend you try IAPM and believe you me you wont regret it. They have PMP trainers who are Subject Matter Experts in the field of Project Management, good study materials and a good learning environment. For quality and excellence, I recommend IAPM Phoebe Mutua.

Apparently, you do not have to go far to find out how bad Zuku is. Their official Facebook Page is just enough for this purpose: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=26197882902&v=wall -- with Regards: The Chinese are known to be entrepreneurs, and coupled with some imagination, are now playing the role of nature in food and beverage production. http://gramware.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinese-way-to-become-imaginative.html
