<IMPORTANT OT> TERRORIST SIM JACKING
by Ruth Were 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Friends, I do not know how true this is, but it does not hurt to be informed. Better safe than sorry... Please inform your friends and relatives Dear All, Don't press #90 or #09 on mobile IF SOME ONE CALLS & ASKS YOU TO DIAL #09 or #90. Please Do Not Dial This. This is the new trick of Jehadi Muslim Terrorists to Frame Innocent People!! If you receive a call on your Mobile phone from any person saying that they are checking your mobile line, and you have to press #90 or #09 or any other number, end this call immediately without pressing any numbers. There is a fraud company using a device that once you press #90 or #09 they can access your SIM card and make calls at your expense and to make matters worse, they will use it to call for terrorist activities and State Agents will instead come for you, arrest you and you will rot in jail innocently. Forward this message to as many friends as u can, to stop it. This information has been confirmed by both Motorola and Nokia. There are over 3 million affected mobile phones. You can check this news at CNN web site also. God Bless you.

Safaricom and Western Union partnership
by Tony Ndegwa 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

This is a good partnership and beneficial to the general public but I think its becoming unreliable. There have been several complains of people not being able to withdraw their money from either end and none of the two companies is taking any responsibility. A friend of mine approached both companies with this issue and this is what they had to say. Safcom with all its wise people say 'Our system detected an error on your transaction and it was automatically reversed. Please advise the sender to cancel the transaction and try again' To which western union says, 'Your transaction is irreversible because the money has already been picked up by the recipient there is nothing we can do on our side' Who is telling the truth here and what should an ordinary Kenyan do in such a situation? -- Be the change you want to see in the world.

Minus Looks to Take Down Dropbox – Offers 10GB Of Free Storage and Revamped Android App
by Kevin Omondi 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

<http://phandroid.com/2011/09/01/minus-looks-to-take-down-dropbox-offers-10g…> Sharing is caring. That’s what I’ve always been taught. Well, if you like to share everything from pictures, to videos and music, there’s a new kid on the block. It’s called Minus <http://minus.com/> and they look to challenge popular file sharing service Dropbox. Minus first started out as a picture sharing site and I’ve watched as they’ve grown into this behemoth of a service allowing users to store any kind of media, in the cloud, all while providing the most storage space I’ve seen in my internet travels (a full 10GB to start) for absolutely FREE. Yeah, it sounds crazy. I’ve actually been using Minus since its inception (before it was “cool”). Recently they’ve been busy overhauling<http://blog.minus.com/2011/08/27/minus-android-desktop-chrome-extension-upd…> their website, updating their handier-than-you-would-think Chrome Extension<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kgphklnbopgbelmcambccnaecijlnhno> and revamping their official Minus app<https://market.android.com/details?id=com.minus.android> in the Android Market. They even offer desktop applications for Mac, Windows and Ubuntu <http://minus.com/pages/tools>. <http://phandroid.com/2011/09/01/minus-looks-to-take-down-dropbox-offers-10g…> <http://phandroid.com/2011/09/01/minus-looks-to-take-down-dropbox-offers-10g…> Like Dropbox, if someone already using the service sends you a special link (cough — here <http://min.us/rMAZkGM>— cough) you and that user will both receive extra storage space. But where Dropbox only gives both parties an extra 250MB <http://db.tt/dUaRWeb>, Minus offers a bonus 1-freakin’-GB<http://min.us/rMAZkGM>. That’s like 300% more free! I currently only have pictures in my Minus account but with 10GB, I think I may start uploading my most intimate of videos as well.

Orange has announced that it is firmly on course to retain its position as the leader in the data market, with the launch of its new 21Mbps network. Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said the new best-in-class network, with speeds of up to 21Mbps, will make it possible for mobile and computer-based users to derive maximum data values from Orange. For the discerning mobile user, Orange has unveiled another first for Kenya by introducing a range of HD Voice devices that would be readily available in all its stores countrywide. HD Voice capability enables customers to experience high definition voice calls, only available through Orange. As the true integrated operator, Orange has also unveiled a range of high speed internet devices for use across all consumer segments and announced a new data tariff structure that will see customers browse the net for as low as 0.40 cts per MB to a maximum of Kshs 4 per MB, for Pay as You Go service. In line with its simplicity proposition, the CEO also confirmed that these rates would be applicable across all its internet platforms. Another first for the market was the launch of a 3G shared broadband Wi-Fi router - Business Broadband which enables 6-10 users to connect to the internet at the same time, via a plug and play device. The Business Broadband becomes the first available wireless router in the market that is compatible to both GSM and CDMA networks and works on both Windows and Mac based operating systems. Orange, which currently has the highest number of wireless broadband subscribers, unveiled its new Internet Everywhere modem that offers speeds of upto 21Mbps that will retail at a most affordable price of Kshs 6,999/-. Customers will also have the ability to manage and control internet abuse through the newly launched parental control software that can be downloaded free of charge from the Orange portal. Ends.../

Browsing teh internet using google+ servers
by kipropest 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

So today HNN had this news http://www.thehackernews.com/2011/08/ddos-attack-using-google-plus-servers.… some bad guys using google plus servers to DDOS sites, which led to this script http://pastebin.com/2uRGm9jY showing two urls that were vulnerable. plus.google.com/_/sharebox/linkpreview/?c= and images2-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?url= They work by the way, you can request anything using google bandwith from those urls. So I thought can I use this for good? ;) I surf the internet behind a proxy server and sometimes it block some urls that I want to view. Now, I wont say that all the urls that are blocked are nice sites but.... How can I make my browser fetch content from those URL, I was thinking CGI scripts maybe, I am not sure, Any directions. sad thing is google will probably fix that bug in the hour.

Orange has announced that it is firmly on course to retain its position as the leader in the data market, with the launch of its new 21Mbps network. Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said the new best-in-class network, with speeds of up to 21Mbps, will make it possible for mobile and computer-based users to derive maximum data values from Orange. For the discerning mobile user, Orange has unveiled another first for Kenya by introducing a range of HD Voice devices that would be readily available in all its stores countrywide. HD Voice capability enables customers to experience high definition voice calls, only available through Orange. As the true integrated operator, Orange has also unveiled a range of high speed internet devices for use across all consumer segments and announced a new data tariff structure that will see customers browse the net for as low as 0.40 cts per MB to a maximum of Kshs 4 per MB, for Pay as You Go service. In line with its simplicity proposition, the CEO also confirmed that these rates would be applicable across all its internet platforms. Another first for the market was the launch of a 3G shared broadband Wi-Fi router - Business Broadband which enables 6-10 users to connect to the internet at the same time, via a plug and play device. The Business Broadband becomes the first available wireless router in the market that is compatible to both GSM and CDMA networks and works on both Windows and Mac based operating systems. Orange, which currently has the highest number of wireless broadband subscribers, unveiled its new Internet Everywhere modem that offers speeds of upto 21Mbps that will retail at a most affordable price of Kshs 6,999/-. Customers will also have the ability to manage and control internet abuse through the newly launched parental control software that can be downloaded free of charge from the Orange portal.

WHAT IS THE BEST ALL IN ONE PRINTER
by Ti Dave 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hi You Intelligent bustards, Am in the verge of purchasing an all in one printer for my office of five people. I had initially bought a Hp Office Jet 8500 wireless printer which is serving quite well. Now recently i found a need to have one more all in one printer and I thought of researching for the new stuff in the market. My prospects were the Hp Officejet 8500a eall in one. Epson WorkForce 8400 All in one Bt ive looked through the internet and heard very unpositive testimonials about this two from consumer review. Does have experience with this two or Have any suggestion of a sweet ass-all-in one printer that will not give me a headache or clean my pockets with cartridge replacements. Plus wireless would be an added advantage. -- Direct your attention to the best... http://www.bigbang.co.ke/

Microsoft .NET Assistant and Firefox
by m mugo 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Morning skunks. During update of Firefox, tried to download the subject matter Extension and it seemed to be taking forever so I killed off the process and seeked to remove it. Tis very unlikely I'll need to run many .NET applications using Firefox because M$ have locked a gazillion features to IE that ensures it's the only browser that can be used to run anything developed on their platform. Trying to uninstall it through browser and I'm unable to, I search around the web and then I bump into this.... http://robertnyman.com/2009/01/26/microsoft-force-installs-firefox-extension I have a few pointers as to what the anti-trust suits against M$ that I never seemed to understand a few years ago were all about....

what if?
by amanya 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

hi all it appears to me that we have increasingly turned this into a space to gripe. leading to a member wondering why anyone bothers to bring their website for review. is this the best we can do and be? we are hostile to people's shortcomings; even pointing out member's spelling mistakes. we, and i include myself, have tended to be quick to cut each other down. (and while thinking about this, i realized the tone of a recent post could have been polite and will be sending an apology off list. or should i do this on list?) what if our interest was to reach out as opposed to shoot down? is it possible to end this trend where members associated with particular organizations "lurk" on the list? can we reach out to industry players and say blog about whatever products they are bringing to the market having interviewed them? could we appreciate an idea and be understanding when its execution has hurdles? i fear for as long we are outside looking in, what we take for influence is nothing but hubris. a favorite TED talk is the Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford Commencement Address, How to live before you die, http://goo.gl/aHefs (31MB). At the end he advices us to stay hungry, stay foolish. and that is a mantra we could do with as skunks. -- age is an issue of mind over matter. if you don't mind, it doesn't matter - mark twain

mp3z as ringtones on Droids
by Odhiambo Washington 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

I was looking for a way to make my mp3z (on SD Card) as ringtones, but found it so difficult to figure out. Then I resorted to RTFM and found these: *OPT1:* Referring to the SD card there is a folder named "music" (obviously you'll have to create it if you are using a new SD card). Page 106 in the manual... If you want, create folders within “music” to organize your music further. If you want to use certain music files as phone, notification, or alarm ringtones, then create the following folders: • ringtones - Music files copied to the “ringtones” folder will display in the phone (incoming call) ringtone menu. (Read more about setting a song as a phone ringtone in “Create ringtones from songs” on page110.) • notifications - Music files copied to the “notifications” folder will display in the notifications ringtone menu. • alarms - Music files copied to the “alarms” folder will display in the Alarm ringtone menu. Note: If you do not want a ringtone to appear in your music Library but you do want it to be available as a ringtone, then create the “ringtones”, “notifications”, or “alarms” folder outside your “music” folder. *OPT 2:* Instead of creating a "Music" folder, create a folder called "Media". Inside of it, create a folder called "Audio". Inside of that, place your mp3's. If you want them to be used as ringtones, put any or all inside another sub-folder called "Ringtones". Storage Card/Media/Audio/(mp3's you have) or Ringtones/(mp3's you have) In this way, you won't have to click on each one and "Use as Ringtones" in order to qualify it. I used OPT 1 and it worked for me to setup a ringtone. I am posting this here for my own future reference, because I know you guys already know so much abt Droids:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Google TV add-on preview for Android SDK now available
by Kevin Omondi 23 Aug '11

Google TV add-on preview for Android SDK now available By Jerry Hildenbrand <http://www.androidcentral.com/users/jerry-hildenbrand> 22 Aug 2011 7:02 pm [image: Google TV]<http://cdn.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/postimages/927…> Back in May at Google I/O 2011, we learned that Honeycomb would be coming to Google TV <http://www.androidcentral.com/first-look-honeycomb-google-tv>, and that we would be seeing an SDK add-on for developers to begin work on apps for the big screen. Since then, we've seen Honeycomb leak out for the Logitech Revue<http://www.androidcentral.com/honeycomb-beta-logitech-revue-leaked>, so we know it's pretty far along. Today the Google TV team has announced and released a preview of the Android SDK add-on, allowing developers to start getting ready for the Honeycomb update. This isn't something for the average Android user to play around with, even though a Google TV emulator on your computer may sound tempting. It requires a machine running Linux, with kernel-based virtualization built and operational. This means that the emulator won't be the sluggish build we currently see for Honeycomb<http://androidcentral.com/honeycomb>, and should make for a much better experience for the folks developing apps for Google TV. The Google TV team has also published design patterns and UI guidelines for Android on the television, with great notes about resolution, overscan, application scaling and other issues likely to crop up while writing apps for 1080p displays. We're excited to see Google getting ready for the Honeycomb update for Google TV devices, and it's great to see good tools for developers making their way out the door. Google TV could be the next big push from Mountain View, and a little pro-active planning will go a long way. For more information, or to get the tools ready and set up your own Google TV development environment, check out the source link.

Discussion: Triangulation in GSM
by hellen masita 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi skunks/skunkettes, in line with an earlier discussion on this being a technical forum... May i call upon your help without monetary gains taking an upper hand???? please :) i want to try and create an application for triangulating a mobile phone. i am at a loss on where to start....really!!! so i throw it to the floor. ******************* In a GSM network with than one vendor a proprietary software is normally supplied to handle their equipment including the BTS. Mobile phones however send Measurement reports which are standardized. these reports contain the following, 1. signal level of 6 best neignbours 2. signal quality\level of serving cell 3. the BTS can determine the Timing Advance of the Mobile(The distance (usually a range) the mobile is from the bts) as well as serving cell (Sector) Now, with just the Timing Advance(TA) and Serving cell, i can tell the general direction of a user. however i would like to use the other measurements to narrow down the location ************************* The significance of this is that it a network can track a phone that does not have a GPS. it would make phone thefts less bothersome among things. If guys discuss it for a bit, i'm sure i'll find my footing, regards, Hellen

So, I'm doing a poll. Two questions; why are you still on Safaricom? What would it take to lure you from Safaricom? For myself its simple..my employer foots my phone bill. I could care less. If it weren't for that I'd probably be on airtel. Cheers.

locally available = pay more. How high would you go?
by Daudi Were 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Good morning Skunks, I am interested at where you draw the line on how much more you would pay for goods locally if you can get them "cheaper" online elsewhere. Take for example Macbook Pro 17" i7/2.2 GHz/4GB/750GB This costs KSH 299,000/- at The Junction Mall. Walk in with the money, walk out with the machine >From the Apple store it costs USD 2656 after tax = KSH 252,000/- A difference of KSH 47,000/- Considering you can get someone to carry it over for you and you very generously give them KSH 10,000/- for their troubles this leaves KSH 37,000/- better off than buying it locally. But you have to wait, you have to find someone accommodating and trustworthy to make the purchase on your behalf, you have to find someone trustworthy and accommodating to bring the machine over etc. For some us all that is worth saving KSH 37,000 others would just pay the KSH 37,000/- extra and have the machine immediately. What would you do? Where do you draw the line? 10k? 50? 100k? Thanks D

How do you handle mail from mailing lists.
by kipropest 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Since the emails can become too much to handle when they go to the in-box for me, what I do is I create a filter for all emails from skunkworks and I put them under a label and then I skip them from going to the in-box. I don't know if you guys have other creative ways of handling the mail.

Impressive Postpaid Plan from Orange
by Kevin Omondi 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Skunks Has any of you seen the postpaid plan for Orange. For Once I think they are beginning to get it,You get a Samsung Galaxy phone i9001 for 3k a month that covers voice calls and data. No Upfront deposits required. I think this is quite reasonable looking at the fact that for a corporate, my average voice calls range around that much. Also have the new Galaxy Tab for 4k a month and the new iphone for the same. What are your thoughts ? Kevin

Re: [Skunkworks] IDIOT - howto? SOLVED
by Odhiambo Washington 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Mblayo is (mis)treating me this way mbecause his HINDIOS is somewhere in Gaborone, not with him!! <LOL> Now, just for the benefit of those who may face a situation like mine, I found out the easiest way out after 2 good hours. If you can find a way to export all your contacts as vCards, then this is the simplest method. Copy all the vCards into the microSD card (luckily you get one with the IDEOS), then from the contacts, access the menu, then select "Import from SD card". It does take some minutes but you ultimately end up having your contacts with all the phone numbers from "the other phone". One thing I like about the IDIOT is the on-screen keyboard. It's too small, but funnily, it is not affected by the BIG finger syndrome that affects my Samsung S8003T (Jet) or the Nokia C7, much as they have bigger screens than the IDIOT. Now, apart from the phone, I need to find out what else I can use the IDIOT for.

by Brian Ngure 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi All, A request from a friend of mine. <quote> We are looking for a partner CSP to provide PRS with an international group. The group is seeking to partner with a local company that is capable of providing a facility that can handle up to 20,000 min of calls per month. The calls shall be originating from abroad and accessing services within the facility, preferably using a "short-code" number (is possible?). Please advise on the viability of such a partnership, and advise what capital investment (hardware) would be required to get the facility functional. [The client is willing to start out using a single E1 link at the beginning of the project] </quote> Anyone know of a business which can handle this? Please send me contacts. Thanks -- Regards Brian Ngure

SIM Applications like MPesa on Mi-Fi devices
by Okechukwu 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hi All, I have a Huawei Mi-Fi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiFi) device which I can connect just like a normal USB dongle to my laptop, and using the Huawei mobile partner, I can send and receive SMS's from the mobile partner application, but cannot seem to see how to access SIM applications specifically MPesa since its a safcon line I use. Is there a way of doing this that anyone on list knows, or any application that can be done to do this? On permanently on a Mac so I guess if there is an app that I can be referred to it needs to work on the Mac. Tired of having to remove SIm card when I need to use mpesa. ./Ok3ch

Lost my HINDIOT
by Brian Munyao Longwe 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

[sorry it's a bit long] woiyeee, boohoohoohoo, nisaindie yameni..... *wipes tears, blows nose and snuffles loudly* I lost my beloved, cherished Huawei IDEOS smart(est) phone.... It was a cold, dark night in Gaborone - and it also happened to be my birthday. My work colleagues took me out for dinner and even before it was over, begged their leave and left me all alone in this vibrant, classy and quite well visited restaurant. Sitting on a stool next to our table was a vocalist - belting out golden oldies, and every two or three songs wishing me a happy birthday on the mic and dedicating a song to me (maybe it was the 100 Pula tip I gave him for singing "Malaika" so well). So here I am, all alone - finishing my meal and wondering how the rest of my birthday evening was going to be. Then I get a pat on my back and a guy I had been introduced to the previous week says hi and asks if he can join the table. I welcome him and he sits down, waves a hand in the air and "poof!" 3 dazzling ladies appear - one is his sister, the other his girlfriend and the third a cousin. After about another hour, the vocalist's crooning get's a bit tiring and my newfound friends suggests we find a place with a little more 'life'. Of course I am game. After a short drive we arrive at 'G-West' - Gaborone's equivalent of F1. We join the already crowded top level, find a corner at the bar, lean back and try to allow the pulsating 'house' music to sink in. By around mid-night I'm kinda ready for bed, but my friends... no way! By now they know it's my birthday and want to make sure that it is well celebrated. So we depart - driving about 30 klicks outside of Gaborone CBD to the only 24 hour joint - "Magic King" - which is absolutely packed to the brim - we try to fight our way to the bar to get a drink, give up mid dance floor, and turn back to try get out of the entrance we came in. That is when the "tsotsis" (mbulale mbastards) make their move - in a very well orchestrated motion, I (unknowingly) am surrounded by about 5 guys who seem to be dancing around me - their hands are raised, at least that's what it looks like, and their heads are bobbing to the loud, glaring beats of the 'house' music. As I try to shuffle towards the entrance, I realise something strange, these fellows seems to be dancing - moving in the same direction and at the same pace as me - we're like some kind of interconnected cluster of bodies moving synchronously towards the entrance. I push one guy who is resting on my chest away - and he immediately 'reconnects' - I do the same to another on my flank and get a similar response. It then dawns on me that I am or have been played - I swirl round, duck, lunge forward, and escape the clutches of this five tentacled octopeople that is trying to swallow me - and I'm out of the door and into the cold, fresh air outside. I find my friends out there and we all agree to call it a night and that they will drop me off at my hotel. As we enter the car I decided to check my email/facebook/twitter - you know, the usual addictive impulse that hits us socio(net)paths every 10-20minutes. I reach into my jacket breast pocket and shock! Phone gone! ....... Billions of blue, blistering, barnacles! I've been robbed! thefted! stolen! plundered! - I quickly check the rest of my pockets and find that everything else is intact - even my Nokia E5 (bought same week as my beloved HINDIOT). But alas, my swiss army knife of mobile phones, my multi-purpose, multi-faceted, multi-factor interaction interface is gone! the only bean in the githeri of my technical arsenal is lost! I am bereft.............. ..............Friends and family are meeting in my Google Plus hangout every evening from 5pm GMT for the next 5 days. Well wishers and those bringing condolences are welcome. yours truly, Mblayo

Linux on a USB Stick
by Brian Munyao Longwe 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hi skunks/ettes, Been playing around this week with getting a small distro of linux onto a usb stick in order to carry out quick and dirty admin tasks on a broken installed server. Came across a lot of different options/recommendations but by far the one that I found easiest to set up and use is "Damn Small Linux" also known as DSL - http://www.damnsmalllinux.org. It's neat coz you just the the computer bios to boot from USB and voila! You have a fully functional linux running (just like from a LiveCD) Anybody else out there whose played around with USB stick distros? I saw some pretty neat ones specifically designed for carrying out security operations like Penetration tests, vulnerability checks, etc...

Airtel Blackberry Service OUTAGE??
by Odhiambo Washington 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Since Monday last week, Airtel's Blackberry service is down. It's not clear from their clueless CSExecs whether it is for everyone or just a few unlucky Kenyans, but a few of my colleagues are going without this service since then. They are on BIS. Airtel CSExecs keep saying it is a problem on their end, and keep taking details when you call them, to be passed to the ICT people within Airtel, who are supposed to call back, but who never will!! Is this a sign of the times for Airtel? Is anyone on this forum affected by this Airtel Blackberry outage?? How comes I have not heard anyone else grumbling? :) Perhaps it's just my colleagues? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.

Is it reverse NAT?
by Peter Osotsi 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Does Cisco 881 have reverse NAT, im dealing with a unique case where no one can access mail/webmail via the public IP on the local LAN while they can access the same while outside the LAN e.g. in a neighbouring office. This applies to this appliance only, while on a Cisco Linksys, access to the mail/webmail on both LAN and off LAN is possible via public IP. --------------- Don't wait for success; hunt it down like there's no tomorrow.

Fwd: [ke-internetusers] ITU Call for Ideas
by Grace Mutung'u (Bomu) 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Onyango <monyango(a)africamail.com> Date: 2011/8/14 Subject: [ke-internetusers] ITU Call for Ideas To: ke users <ke-internetusers(a)bdix.net> *ITU call for ideas 12 Aug 2011 * [image: ITU call for ideas] ITU Telecom World 2011 has launched a competition where 60 young innovators will win the chance to pitch their ideas to industry leaders at ITU Telecom World in Geneva which is being held from 24 to 27 October. ITU Telecom World 2011 <http://world2011.itu.int/> has launched a global competition that gives 60 young innovators and digital innovators the chance to come to the event in Geneva (October 24-27) to pitch their ideas to the ICT industry. The three entrants from each category must have the best all-round concepts which will be voted for online by delegates attending ITU Telecom World 2011. The winners will share prize money totalling over CHF 50,000 to help them realise their digital dreams. Industry mentors will also continue to work with the six winners after the event to help them turn their vision into reality. Would-be innovators simply submit their idea online in one of two competition categories: - Young Innovators <http://world2011.itu.int/young-innovators/>: Entrants should be 18-25 years or age, and their idea must have been developed independently of any project with their current employer. The best ideas from around the world will win finalists an all-expenses-paid trip to Geneva, where they will benefit from two intensive days of training on how to best pitch their concept, culminating in a final ‘quickfire pitch’ at a grand final event on October 25. ITU is actively encouraging submissions from women and those still looking to enter the workforce. - Digital Innovators<http://world2011.itu.int/calling-all-geeks-and-not-profits/>: partnering with an NGO or other not-for-profit body: Entrants are encouraged to submit their ideas for new ways in which ICTs could help further their causes in areas like environmental sustainability, improved access to health and education, digital accessibility or the alleviation of poverty. The best partnerships will be brought to Geneva and trained on how best to pitch their developed idea, before making their final pitch on October 25. Entries will be judged on innovation, feasibility (technical implementation/cost) and applicant experience (ability to deliver). ITU Telecom World’s online community will initially vote on their favourite submissions, with the 60 most popular ideas from each category then submitted to a high-level selection panel of independent experts from the public and private sector, who will choose the finalists. In addition to the chance to win one of six cash prizes, the competition is designed to offer finalists an enriching experience that will help them better succeed in the competitive world of ICT development. As well as the chance to build a valuable network of new professional contacts worldwide, all contestants will have their pitches filmed and uploaded to YouTube, Facebook and the ITU Telecom website, to give them and their great ideas maximum global exposure. They will also be encouraged to blog about their experiences and their ups and downs on the ITU Telecom website during the two-day pitch development process, and to upload their own photos, videos and audio podcasts. “The Young Innovators and Digital Innovators competition draw on our long-standing expertise in facilitating youth events and harnessing the power of fresh, digital thinking,” said ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun Touré. “Applications, services and products driven by next-generation networks can truly transform the everyday life of millions. These competitions offer a unique and exciting opportunity for young talent and digital innovators to receive the support, recognition and seed funding needed to turn promising digital ideas into valuable, working contributions to a better world.” The deadline for submissions is *15 September*. Young Innovators can enter online at: http://world2011.itu.int/young-innovators. Digital Innovators working with an NGO or not-for-profit can enter at: http://world2011.itu.int/node/add/idea<http://world2011.itu.int/calling-all-geeks-and-not-profits/> . _______________________________________________ ke-internetusers mailing list ke-internetusers(a)bdix.net http://www.bdix.net/mailman/listinfo/ke-internetusers -- Grace L.N.

tips, incase you're laptop gets stolen: *1) Install Prey [http://preyproject.com/]* -Check the link for detail on how it works... but in a nutshell, you can flag you're lap as stolen online. Of course, we're hoping the thug has a social-life and will occasionally go online to facebook with fellow thugs and terrorists. For starters, the webcam will silently activate, taking pics of whoever is using the lap, and upload the pics to you're prey-account. I *think* it can also take screen shots too... and additionally, the location of ur lap can be "estimated" using wifi/gsm location... I dont know how, but using my office internet, my lap is *very* accurately pinpointed on a google-map huku westie. Sijui ni uganga gani, and its not just my lap... it worked on 5yr old desktops with certainly no GPS... [?] ... moving on http://thisguyhasmymacbook.tumblr.com/ Well, the software above is really, really cool... as long as it stays on you're laptop.... so, to make sure it can never get deleted, uninstalled or formatted away: *a) format-proof you're laptop* -There are lots of ways to do this, but first and foremost, password protect the BIOS setup utility [the interface/menu thingy u get when you press "F2" or "F-wareva" as soon as your comp boots]... -Then [this step is important, coz without it, the step above is useless], set you're hard-drive as the first boot device. If you can, disable USB booting and PXE (network) booting. And if your BIOS is super-ninja-cool (like mwa's [?]), "unmark" everything *except* the HD as bootable!! well, my BIOS cant really do that... but its still super-ninja cool!!!! -If you're BIOS can also show a special "boot list" when you press some special key, disable that too (... that "boot list" thingy is something that allows you to quickly specify an alternative boot device without tediously re-arranging the boot order in the BIOS setup utility... it simply lists devices you can boot from, and you pick whichever you want).... yeah, my BIOS has that [?] --- basically, the above limits booting to your HD only, deterring any effort to format you're lap. And if you happen to have sensitve, important, NSIS-Ocampo-level data, you can rest assured it won't be so easily wiped away. nonetheless, a good skunkie is a skunkie with a good back-up policy... (come to think of it.... in that case, i have been quite a naughty skunky [?] gotta work on that) *b) "password-ize" admin access* - Step *a) *above prevents formats... but if you're comp can shamefully auto-login into an admin account (mnajijua you Windows users! [?]), tracking software like prey will be uninstalled quite trivially -So, password-protect you're admin account... and don't use "password" as a password (as the devil on you're left sholder advises)... unless you're doing that for test-bed setups like we do in our office (our grill doors excuse such behaviour [?])... instead...as the angel on ur ryt sholder is begging u to do, use a pass-phrase, like "this wanna-be geek is so fake and gay!! and boring!! and trolling!!" *c) dont completely lock-down you're lap* - so, from the above ste[s, you're average thug cannot use you're comp (password-protected user accounts), and he probably doesn't know how to format it (and the BIOS is pass-protected, just in case ) .... well, thugs being as shrewd as they are, will take-it-apart, and sell the components. That 1TB 10,000RPM drive in you're lap could bribe a year's worth of nosy cops... -so to prevent the take-apart, have a "guest-account" available.... and fill it up with a series or two, a movie or two, a game or two... anything to keep the thug using you're lap. put in some "blue-movie"s too (yes, thugs like movies which are blue [?]). and to ensure (some more) that the thug surfs with you're lap, place a text-file on the desktop labeled "bank usernames & passwords", and perhaps a link to a thug phishing site... :-), lol... that would be something, hehehehe .... to prevent take-it-aparts and the sale of lap components... seal it up with epoxy!! :-D, hehehhee Yeah... be that paranoid. At least it affords you "paranoid insurance". ... so, *summarizing the above* (and in case some of you were smart enuf to skip the crap ahead and jump ryt to this summary): 1) Install tracking-software like prey. 2) format-proof your lap as much as u can 3) password-protect the admin accounts 4) dont lock down your lap completely. have a no-password guest account, preferably with entertainment to forestall any take-it-apart plans Regards
