developers and atom processors
by Eva Kimathi 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Help! I am thinking of getting the lg x120 netbook that safaricom is offering. I have read reviews on it from the internet (for the netbook) and i was impressed. I may have all the info i need for it except one mega factor...can the atom processor work with oracle forms 10g? the ram is 1gig and the processor is 1.6ghz. the ram i can work with but i aint too sure about the processor. i figure that for kawaida java development, i may use the jcreator coz its relatively lightweight. anybody out there with helpful info?

@wash, cCould teams be a poorly implemented fiber solution? Remember it cost a fraction of SEACOM. And why did it take too long to go live while it was the first to arrive? Why wasnt anyone invited to taste it like Seacom did? Me thinks that cable is poorly done. I am on AK and Safaricom, I can barely moan, its terrible all through.

new data tariff @ Orange 3g+ : Double the databytes or half the cost @ less than half the speeds?
by aki 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Signal strength : all bars, no rain etc. It has taken a sudden downturn effective today towards less than HALF the speeds! LOL! - Until Sunday 2GB datapack = 3,900/- = Speeds at 280kbps downloads/ 140kbps uploads ( kilobits per second ). - As of today morning, 4GB datapack = 3,900/- = Speeds at 96kbps - 8kbps dowloads / Did not even bother testing ( kilobits per second ). I can only laugh...... time to torrent until the 4GB package is used up. No mercy...need some iso files.

Here I'm trying to do some search on google.co.ke and get ;untrusted connected error message. I thought it could be that I typed the address wrongly. That instead of typing www. google.co.ke I must have keyed in www,goo,co,ke which occurs a lot to me. But on checking the spelling it's okay. I have just used it about 20 minutes before and it has worked well with me. Is there anyone experiencing the same? PS: I have attached the results scrn shot -- Solomon Mburu P.O.

I will be out of the office starting Mon 11/02/2009 and will not return until Fri 11/06/2009. I committed a stupidity upon my foot and am forced to be even more sessile for a few days.

Safaricom vs Orange internet - pricing and all
by Charles Mwangi 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hi fellow skunkers, With the recent lowering of internet tariffs by orange, we are hoping safaricom will follow suit. Otherwise i have pasted the following comparison for those who are not in the know Orange internet modem cost 2,999 How to top up your account: send 12 digit card number to 430 How to check balance: send sms #123# to 430 Bundle (MB) Price Activation Code In Bundle Price/MB Validity Period APN = bew.orange.co.ke 50 150 send sms #123#bundle to 430 e.g. #123#50 3 30 100 250 2.5 200 450 2.25 500 850 1.7 1000 1500 1.5 2000 2200 1.1 4000 3900 1 Out of Bundle Charges: 7/= Per MB Safaricom internet Modem price 3,999 7) How do I activate the pre-pay bundle? Send the word activate to the following codes; Bundle Price Activation Code In Bundle Price/MB Validity Period APN = safaricom 40MB 250/= SMS word activate to 442 6.25/= 90 days 100MB 500/= SMS word activate to 443 5/= 300MB 999/= SMS word activate to 446 3.30/= 700MB 1,999/= SMS word activate to 447 2.85/= 1GB 2,499/= SMS word activate to 448 2.44/= Out of Bundle Charges: 8/= Per MB To load the modem, go to sms function, send PIN number of card to 141 To know your bundle balance send blank sms to 450 for those who already have the safaricom E160 modem, it can be unlocked at a cost of Ksh 1,400.00 to accept any subscriber sim card. the older modem E220 i already posted instruction on unlocking. Orange is also has 3G services but on the CDMA network, the modems are going for 3999 and pricing for internet same as the GSM equivalent. Enjoy cheaper tariffs.

Motorola Android- Make or Break for them ?
by ndungu stephen 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

I have been following phone news lately - mainly because it affects 'us' one way or another-- When the Apple iphone first showed up, the phone manufacturers said "...The devices are too expensive, besides, our market share is much more,, it will take time to catch up.." Two years later, the story changes, motorola and sony-e phones are on their way to the negative margins, mototola more on the negative... and Apple takes 20% of total mobile handset profits despite selling only 5.2 million units in the quarter... Not to mention that they are now one of the biggest media online sales company, churning sales in mp3 [lets go after wall mart], books [lets go after amazon] , apps etc [nokia leads the pack though, at 50% with diverse handsets for all prices and uses] Motorola has had to re-think its "smart phone" production as a way to hit back from below the x-axis to somewhere above it by relaunching this new device... http://motorola-android.com/ Will they make it ? What has Google Android and iPhone done right ? http://motorola-android.com/

The message telling me the activation was successful came 20min later. So, I sighed, gave them benefit of doubt assuming there was a tech hitch... Today, at 11.52am, I sent a message to 555 and got a reply to wait as per kawa. Till now, I'm still waiting! Tried to call 100, the bloody line aint working!
