Proposed Tax bill to impose VAT on zero rated consumer goods
by Kibe Wachira 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Finance minister Njeru githae has published a tax bill to impose VAT on consumer goods that had been zero rated among them maize, rice, wheat, sugar, milk, edible vegetable fats and oil, fertilisers and pesticides. This will push up the prices by between 10% and 16% thus making common mwananchi to suffer more. More over apparently products meant for export or used by the diplomatic corps would continue to enjoy the zero rate. is this acceptable considering how tuff things are right now? -- kind regards, kibe wachira. software developer. tel:+254721888474 email:kiffea@gmail.com

Hi all, An additional label named '[imap]/Trash' keeps on recreating itself no matter how many times I keep deleting it. I'm I the only one experiencing this? I did not create this label at all in the first place. Regards, Obunga

[SKUNKWORKS] Understanding PC Processors
by Martin Gicheru 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Hallo Skunks I am about to spend some money on a laptop, not more than 60k. It has been my understanding that Intel core 13 is better in processing than Core 2 Duo. Today a certain techie wanted to dispel this, saying that the Dell Inspiron 1545(Core 2 Duo) would be better than the Dell Inspiron N5040(Core i3 2.66GHz with 3MB Cache) which is currently being sold by Safaricom at 52k. I am not much of a developer, I do simple wordpress css and php dev for my site and other sites I run. Most of the stuff I do is blogging, reading (I can have upto 30 tabs of browser open) and ofcourse simple image editing for use on the blogs. Would this be a good buy? -- Regards, Martin Gicheru|Business Development|Techweez Solutions Email ID: martin(a)techweez.com | Tel:254721906171 | Website: http://www.techweez.com | Skype ID: martingicheru | Twitter ID:martingicheru | Gtalk: martin(a)techweez.com
