ICT Postgraduate Research Projects from UoN

Good people, I just came across this stash http://www.uonbi.ac.ke/faculties/postgrad-student-projects.php?fac_code=52, found some of them rather interesting. It has been my perception that most of the projects done in Universities are not reflective of the day to day problems experienced by people and organizations, and that few, if any, solve the problems currently facing the country. I hope to be proven wrong.

If you love music and services lik Spotify have been out of your reach because you live in (rest of the world), now there is MOG. Offering more than 14 million tracks, and free with advertisements or a paid premium service, they seem to have a collection that can compete with even iTunes or Spotify. You can listen on the web, desktop, iPod, iPhone and they even have released an iPad App before Spotify. Additionally, you can listen on Sonos, Roku and select LG televisions.
