by Mike M. 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

Any good payment gateways in Kenya? I mean good customer service, those who will pick your call....I mean professionally run. Had a nasty experience with one who will refuse to pick your calls... Which banks offer Merchant services? What are the challenges of developing(read other factors other than code) a payment gateway? CBK regulations?

Re: [Skunkworks] Orange offer on iPhone 5
by William Muriithi 30 Dec '12

> Currently the price of a nexus 4 on a google play/store is _usd 266 or something about there, for its unavailability it has gone up to usd600 if you check on Amazon or ebay making its price same as an Iphone 4s or 5 on a good deal > Only if you can't wait. Just place an order on Google market and wait for 6 weeks. That's what I did and patiently waiting for it. The $600 on ebay are second hand phones, someone ordered it from Google turned around and is selling it almost twice on ebay. I remember when the new VW beetle came out around 2002, they were also selling around twice on ebay. Till VW was able to much the demand with supply. > Regards > ./Cal > Sent from my BlackBerry? > Muriithi

Dear Friends, I wish you a lovely day and Happy Holidayes. I have an app that I need to access the database files to change the translation. All I have come across is .plist file and two .bin files. I have been able to open the .plist file though cannot do the same in for the .bin. Please advise if the .bin file is a database file and how I may open it in Windows.
