9 Things I Hate About Everyone ( Mambo tisa nachukia kwa kila mtu)

1. People who point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their a** to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn Right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

5. When people say while watching a film, "did ya see that?" No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor!

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"... Didn't give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell??? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!!! What can you do thats longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came, would I be standing here???

How to Stay Young and Happy Always :-) The best

How to Stay Young and Happy Always :-)

1. Throw out nonessential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.
Let the doctors worry about them.. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.
'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him or her!

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourself.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And if you don't send this to at least four people - who cares?
But do share this with someone.

Nokia, World Bank team to promote mobile apps

Mobile application development in Kenya is slowly gaining traction as players move to tap the growing pool of technology entrepreneurs.

The World Bank, in partnership with mobile handset maker, Nokia, the Finish Government and iHub Consortium, Thursday opened a new incubation facility for entrepreneurs and innovators with a bias for mobile technology.

Known as m-Lab East Africa, the facility aims to encourage innovation and competitiveness of small and medium enterprises in ICT. It will provide an enabling environment for innovators and entrepreneurs to convert their ideas into viable businesses.
“We must move to change from a minimalist approach to something better. We are going to do whatever it takes. We must begin to invest in research,” Dr Bitange Ndemo, the PS in the Ministry of Information and Communications said.

The facility, based at Bishop Magua Building, on Ngong Road is hosted by the iHub Consortium that includes Nairobi’s iHub, eMobilis, the World Wide Web Foundation, and the University of Nairobi School of Computing and Informatics. Kenya hopes to emulate the gains made by India in the software development arena.

“In Kenya, it’s clear is a lot of potential in ICT,” World Bank country director, Johannes Zutt said. “We are working with Kenya to promote areas where we think it will flourish – tourism and ICT.” m-Lab East Africa is one of the labs World Bank is supporting globally through the infoDev programme, in partnership with Nokia and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
It has also selected hosts for m-Labs in South Africa, Armenia, Pakistan and Vietnam. Ken Oyolla, general manager for Nokia East and Southern Africa said the firm will support testing labs with equipment, training and events.

Finnish ambassador Heli Sirve, said technological innovation can turn into economic growth. “I hope that m-Lab will succeed in generating new mobile applications and improve people’s lives in Kenya and East Africa,” Ms Sirve said.

“An old town in Finland, 25 years ago started a similar m-Lab and today, the people of the region have benefited greatly and are very successful.” Incubation centres including KeKobi, iHub and Nai Lab, University of Nairobi’s FabLab and Strathmore’s iLab host about 3,000 software developers.
