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.

Good People, Does anyone know where I can get a Fitbit(or any other fitness tracker) locally? One that monitors heart rate, sleep, etc, and has a mobile app for iOs or Android that I can use to sync the data on it to my phone via bluetooth. I've asked about it previously but didn't get the results. Gracias. ./muya

[SKUNKWORKS] Xiaomi in Kenya officially
by Martin Gicheru 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

So earlier today i had a meeting with Mobile in Africa, the company that sells Xiaomi smartphones in Africa (South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya). They are officially in Kenya. For those who usually look for their devices by all means, they are here. We wrote a piece on Techweez, that's a bit comprehensive.
