Home Theatres comparison
by Dennis Kioko 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

So, After more than 6 years of listening to music on my Creative SBS A300s and Logitec/Sennheiser earphones , I think I'm becoming deaf and therefore no longer in a position to appreciate the bass in the Creatives. I would like to replace them with a hometheatre that offers some great sound reproduction in the 50 Hz range upwards. However, I am surprised that most of what I am seeing here ( http://www.jumia.co.ke/home-theatre/) does not offer bluetooth pairing or even DNLA. I thought stuff in this age should even have a mobile app to control the damn thing? Are the Koreans and Japanese running out of steam? -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>

Hey, I tried going to http://epaper.nationmedia.com/epaper/index.htm to read today's paper but on trying to navigate to page 2 I am prompted for a username and password which I gladly enter. However, when one clicks the download option they are redirected to a pdf version of the paper hosted at http://downloads.realviewtechnologies.com/Nation%20Media/Daily%20Nation/Mar… <hack_or_not>To access last weeks paper from another browser (where I am not logged in) I just used the same download URL but changed the date.</hack_or_not> What is the essence of having the paywall then?

Re: [Skunkworks] Daily Nation ePaper - Download Script [Linux/OSX]
by Paul Korir 24 Jun '16

I'm not sure I agree... Two reasons: 1. Nation switched their ePaper provider to the current provider. The previous provider (an IT company based in India) was leaky and very many eyeballs got a hold of the PDF version. You could argue that this was part of their strategy. The current provider seems to be more secure implying to me (at least) that security is a factor. 2. Not too long ago they actually stopped providing PDF copies because of copyright infringement. They reinstated it shortly after maybe because of a loud outcry from their subscribers. In fact, immediately after they restored them, PDFs would download with a watermark of your username (your email). They later removed them which makes me suspect that there are invisible watermarks that can inform them which account is leaking their copy then possibly blocking only those accounts (I'm only speculating... I really don't know). Overall, the bigger concern is that we as tech creatives (sources of copy) should appreciate the importance of upholding other's right to copy because we will benefit from such an environment in the long run. Turning a blind eye is not a way to go. I think this is critical.
