AT BARCLAYS
by Mickey Mickey 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

At barclays the systems are down and everything is 16 century. Paper work. Now, the amazing thing is their new deposit slip. It requires you to fill in more than usual including cellphone and email. This is enormous data considering most deposits include none barclays members. So what is the security of such private data???? Why would a bank like it have a stalled system? I ponder as I watch the snaking queue of people. Only in 16 century I conclude.

iPhone CDMA on Orange network
by Mark Mwangi 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

I have been wondering for a while why Orange Kenya does not sell CDMA iPhones yet they have the only active CDMA network in the region and as far as I can tell it is on the same tech as the American one (CDMA 2000) This would ensure lock in of subscribers and allow subsidizing of handsets. The subscribers would be happy on an non-congested network, assured revenues for the network since there is no unlocking or sim swap business and utilization of the network that only seems to be used by modem dongles. Win win? -- Regards, Mark Mwangi markmwangi.me.ke
