MacbookPro late 2011 dead wifi card
by Mark Mwangi 09 May '13

I have a macbook pro whose Wifi card seems to have just died on me. It started misbehaving yesterday with it connecting for a while then refusing to start. It is now simply not being detected. I have a dual boot setup via bootcamp with Windows 7 on the other side and its also seeing nothing. Has this ever happened to anyone here? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke

A pre-analysis of Jubilee’s One Solar Laptop per Child Initiative

Hi Listers, I recently wrote this blogpost, looking forward to your views -- During the recently concluded electoral campaigns President Uhuru Kenyatta<http://uhuru.co.ke/> and his Deputy William Ruto captivated the minds of Kenyan parents with a promise of delivering to every Standard One pupil entering school in 2014 asolar powered laptop <http://uhuruto2013.com/?p=113> to enhance and aid their learning environment(see video below). As expected many Kenyans were sceptical given the perception that many Government projects begin with pomp and fury but end up as duds; wasting billions of shillings that could otherwise have gone to more basic and immediate needs. I thought it would be prudent for us to examine through a *Strength Weakness Opportunity Threat( SWOT)* analysis the feasibility of such a project in present day Kenya <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya>. *Read more: http://johnkaranja.com/2013/04/10/a-pre-analysis-of-jubilees-one-solar-lapt… * Kind Regards, John

Does it mean that because internet pricing is high we should abet the 'stealing' of internet from ISPs? Why not come up with a better business model that will enable cheaper internet services? On May 8, 2013 5:08 PM, "Watchman" <skunkingrahim(a)gmail.com> wrote:
