http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/19/business/apple-china-foxconn-daisey/index… The funniest part: * In one of the show's most dramatic moments, Daisey said he interviewed a former worker now handicapped from repetitive stress injuries seeing an iPad for the first time, describing it as "a kind of magic." The translator said that never happened.

Quick Question
by mail2lawi 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi guys, First of all, this is not a crucial issue. In fact, it is really for idle minds :) I have a small email which is supposed to be of a list of employees, their dept and date (of a meeting) It was supposed to be sent in a tabular format but for some reasons (blame my email client) this is how it appears on my screen: Name Date Dept Jina 1 12.12.12 Dept 1 Jina 2 12.12.12 Dept 3 Jina 3 13.12.12 Dept 5 ... etc Now, how do I put it in a tabular format preferably in excel (without having to retype or copy/paste?) Name: Date: Dept Jina 1::12.12.12:: Dept 1 Extra marks if you can do it only using excel formulas Mr. Lawi

Godaddy Account Change: Please Help
by Samuel Waithaka 19 Mar '12

Hi guys, Needs some help with a domain change within Godaddy. We requested the guys holding a domain to change it to us (Godaddy Account Change). They provided us with domains Authorization Info and insisted that's all we need. I did my research and couldn't figure out to do that. I'm not convinced that this authorization info will do for an account change; I only know one way of doing the account change. (I know it's necessary for domain transfers between registrars). Could I be missing something? Please help. -- Samuel Waithaka http://www.linkedin.com/in/waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

FreeView Kenya
by Brian L 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

People, It was 2008 or 2009 Freeview was doing rounds in Kenya. They even had registered a domain freeview.co.ke So they went hush? Then why is it that its Multichoice Africa who are custodians of the domain? This is the same multichoice of GOTV fame. The same multichoice accused of bad monopoly and the downfall of GTV and SMART TV Does this mean we shall never see a day of freedom of choice for TV in Kenya other than what DSTV want us to see? Currently I am a frustrated customer of GOTV and I am pissed because they have not launched a second package 6 months down the line. And please don't tell me to get a DSTV dish, iCan't. -- Lusiola Brian |3 R 1 /-\ |\|

http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android/features-and-specs This is so doable. - My current phone is more spec'd that my personal university workstation. :) - I am playing games on the phone that are comparable to need for speed II [1] & tomb raider from ~10 years ago... And that is running on a JVM! Yay! 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed_II
