There has been international news on a huge discovery of water in Turkana that could meet our water needs for the next 70 years. Even the verge ( a tech magazine is reporting it) http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/11/4718470/giant-underground-water-reserve-c… Think i also sawa an article on techcrunch. Just wondering why not a single local media outlet has not reported it. Regards Kevin

Hi Skunks/ettes, I am rolling out ICT resource centres in about 100 villages in Northern Uganda. Each centre will have 4-5 computers for public use.

What is the uptake of BI among the Corporates? Average remuneration for BI professionals? Any information along that line would be greatly welcome! Regards, James

As was widely predicted even after denials by Tim Cook a cheaper iPhone was churned out. Nothing to call home about though in my opinion as it has precisely the same specs as the iPhone 5, only more plastic. The touch id fingerprint thing is due though and in my opinion is the killer feature. If it works as advertised then it takes exclusivity to a whole new level. Owning the phone is that much more personal. -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke
