Hi, If you could be interested, pls see email below Regards, Clement Kitetu P.O. Box 35572 00200, Nairobi Kenya +254 722 76 19 10 ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Beryl Plimmer <beryl.plimmer(a)GMAIL.COM> To: CHI-STUDENTS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 2:27 AM Subject: PhD Scholarship for Touch and Stylus Interaction PhD Scholarship for Touch and Stylus Interaction We have a PhD Scholarship available to work with me on Touch and Stylus computing. The actual focus of your research could be recognition engines, sketch tools, or the interactive experience. The scholarship is open to international students and is for fees and a $25k per year stipend for 3 years. 25k a year is enough to live in Auckland and you can usually earn a bit extra working as a teaching assistant. Our PhDs follow the English model and are research only – entry is from a 4 year degree or Masters. While the scholarship is for 3 years they are often extended for another 6 months – you would be expected to hand-in within 4 years. So if you have an excellent academic record (A average grades or equivalent) and are interested in studying in New Zealand, have a look at the web pages below. I am happy to answer questions.

Comparing Two Giants - LG Optimus 3D & Samsung I9100 Galaxy II
by Odhiambo Washington 13 Jul '11

13 Jul '11

After the launched of the LG Optimus 3D, I could not resist the urge to COMPARE <http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3759&idPhone2=3621>it with the Samsung I9100 Galaxy II (Dennis Kioko would rather compare it with some HTC!). Apart from the 3D, whose need on a phone I still don't understand, I think the LG should not cost as much as the Samsung. Besides playing games on the phone, is someone able to tell me how useful this 3D feature will turn out to be? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
