9gag.com New site for overzealous management to block
by Dennis Kioko 23 Apr '12

For those firms that contribute almost half of our country's GDP, and have to block certain sites to make sure that the country does not end up in the doldrums, here is the coolest thing since Zuckerberg demonstrated he is the biggest boss thus far, by buying Instagram single handedly, for the princely sum of 3.2 per cent of Kenya's GDP http://9gag.com/ -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Re: [Skunkworks] Locking a dongle to a laptop
by Josh Handley 23 Apr '12

Super glue would be the simplest solution. Otherwise you would probably have to do something to the firmware of the dongle and even then if the user pulls the SIM from the dongle and puts into another dongle or a phone that won't help. Maybe you could set up a private APN with the carrier which would route all the data traffic from the SIM through your server at which point you could do some kind of filter on the traffic. Safaricom can set this up for you but it isn't cheap.
