OT: Looking for Bruce Branton Obwari
by Majala Mlagui {Maarifa} 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Does anyone know of the whereabouts of Bruce Branton Obwari? I took a egg shell coloured HP Pavillion DM4 laptop to him (at his(?) office in Town off Moi Avenue with a screen repair issue last year in August 2014. He has since become super elusive particularly from Oct 2014 , constantly saying he is in a matatu coming to town and will call back/ and is looking for a CD drive ( note the repair was only to fix a broken screen). Any help to track him down in Kenya and to find the laptop with original parts would be most appreciated. He doesn't seem to be threatened by the law or any legal action. Many Thanks, Majala Mlagui 0722167067

How do phone manufactures come up with prices of smart phones?
by Job Muriuki 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

A 40 inch smart full HDTV with similar or better features than a high end Smart phone (iphone,Samsung etc) with a meager screen costs the same or less. Who is fooling who here? Laptops are much smaller than desktops and cost less than equally spec'd desktop. The desktop requires more materials to build but costs more. Miniaturization or not phones are over priced primarily as a result of consumer spending trends. Regards, Job Muriuki, Skype: heviejob

Orange 3G vs Airtel 3G
by Odhiambo Washington 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

So I decided to run some tests on the above. I bought Orange 1GB bundle at 750/= and also subscribed to Airtels UnLimiNet with 1K which gives me 2GB. Been running tests and perception tells me Orange seems faster than Airtel. I have tested from two locations and it seems that whatever I do loads faster on Orange than on Airtel. However, when I try to get to anything on Safaricom and other local providers from these two, then it's another story - and here I thought that they all should be having big pipes at KIXP. Anyway, ignore this whole line. For those of you who have used these two, would you recommend Orange or Airtel??? Going by what I can remember being discussed on this list, methinks Orange has it when it comes to speeds, right?? The only advantage I am seeing on UnlimiNet is the voice/sms bundles that come with it. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 "I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler."

Oven Insulation
by Ben Mwangi 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

I know this isn't the type of topic we usually post here, but this is sort of my last resort. I'm looking for oven insulation after the current insulation was spoilt by mice and rats and I had to remove it completely because of the odour that developed. Someone just point me in the right direction where I can buy insulation or find people who can install for me. Thanks
