Opportunities abound on the Internet!
Filed under: How Zimbabwe can be better, I was just thinking, Technology
Unveiled!
In March this year I started a journey that would lead me to this page, making this post. But then again maybe I started that journey in a little room in Mount Pleasant in 1998.
That journey has taken me through thousands of websites and seen me witness technological wonders unfold before my very eyes.
My realisation, over and over again, is that the Internet is a place of great opportunities. Opportunities to meet new people. Opportunities to make new friends. Opportunities to make a living. Opportunities to create wealth. Opportunities to learn, to teach, to share knowledge, to collaborate, to dream, to make dreams come true. Read more
Reclaim your inbox the Thunderbird way
Everyone who has used an email client like Outlook knows that it makes email tasks like composing and formatting messages and even attaching files to your emails enjoyable, quick and easy. The problem is some of us operate on a shoe-string budget, we cannot afford to by Mr Gates’ email client and to pay for a personal email account with the commercial email service providers.
Well the good news is for starters, as I know we all know, you can open a free Gmail account from Google. Now Gmail enables you to access your email from an easy to use desktop client like Outlook (or even your phone). Ah but we can’t afford Outlook, you say. That’s where open source software comes in.

gPhone is here!
Google has scored another first, the first gPhone was announced today. This will go in history as one of the really defining moments for the open source world.
T-Mobile, the Germany mobile phone services provider unveiled the first Android powered phone, today. Android is a set of programs that will form the operating system and developing platform for gPhones. Android was developed by Google with the cooperation of more than 30 companies involved in the mobile phone industry, a group known as the Open Handset Alliance. The Open Handset Alliance includes the likes of Google. Motorola, Samsung, Ebay, Intel and several other companies
Android is really a platform aimed at software geeks to develop exciting mobile phone applications such those found on the iPhone from Apple. The Android platform is based on the open source Linux operating system and as such should make a serious business case for open source software.
Google continues to redefine technology as we have known it and it seems nothing is stopping those guys at Googleplex.
Einstein, Google & answers
Google founders: Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
I’m now certain that my favourite company, Google, literally has all the answers. Yes literally all the answers! “…if this Google monster has all the answers then why submit wrong assignments, why are there so many inaccurate writings out there, design terrible sites/systems, why so many misconceptions on nature and generally everything?”, i can hear the critics moan. I think the answer lies in the fact that only quality questions get quality answers. Read more
The Large Hadron Collider and the future of science (in Africa)
There is currently a buzz of excitement in the world of physics, why you may ask? Predictably scientists especially physicists are not the most excitable of people… unless of course an experiment shoots electric current through them and they spontaneously combust with shouts of “Eureka!” Unfortunately most science is nowhere close to that kind of nirvana. However, in what will probably science’s closest shot at nirvana a large and expensive experiment is about to reach fruition in the peaceful cantons of Switzerland. Like the country’s secretive bankers a collection of thousands of scientists, engineers and technicians have for the last 9 years toiled on bringing to life the Large Hadron Collider. It is I suppose a measure of how far physics has come if cutting edge experiments over half a millennia ago consisted of Galileo dropping weights from the tower of Pisa* today it consists of building a $6 billion, an underground 17 mile particle accelerator with over 10,000 minders.
