Good move by Kenya.

The scrapping of all manner of fee paid by East Africans seeking to enter Kenya is certainly welcome news.

It is a brilliant gesture that Kenya is committed to the success of the newly -launched East-African Community Common Market for the member countries, that came into effect on Thursday.

It now means that our brothers and sisters in the partner states may cross our borders without paying for entry permits. And they may freely live, work and do business in Kenya.

The deal is made even sweeter by the fact that the visitors may stay in the country for up to six months before they formally apply for a work permit, which is also free.

This new bold move, ordered by President Kibaki, should serve as an example to other member countries- that they must show the determination to have the free-trade idea work effectively.

It is expected that the other member countries will also open their borders to allow East Africa to exploit the advantages that are expected to come from new deal.

Indeed, it is time member countries overcame any fears of economic dominance by any country. Only this way can the much talked-about cooperation be nurtured to fruition.

Poorer men have fewer chances of marrying!

Men will probably find this difficult to swallow, but all women are biologically wired to go for the man with money.

Experts assert that women the world over instinctively go for the man that shows promise of providing for her and taking good care of her children. A man who falls short on this score should not be surprised if women do not spare him a second glance.

Dr Puis Mutie, a sociologist and lecturer at the University of Nairobi (Kenya), says a woman's biological make-up has a lot to do with the choice she makes in her search for a life partner.

"Based on this biological fact, it is is therefore makes sense that a woman looking for a life partner will zero in on one who will assure her of financial comfort," he says.

Mobile technology

Mobile technology is a collective term used to describe the various types of cellular communication technology. Mobile CDMA technology has evolved quite rapidly over the past few years. Since the beginning of this millennium, a standard mobile device has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a cellular phone, GPS navigation system, an embedded web browser, and Instant Messengerclient, and a hand-held video gaming system. Many experts argue that the future of computer technology rests in mobile/wireless computing.

4G networking

One of the most important features in the 4G mobile networks is the domination of high-speed packet transmissions or burst traffic in the channels. The same codes used in the 2G-3G networks will be applied to future 4G mobile or wireless networks, the detection of very short bursts will be a serious problem due to their very poor partial correlation properties. Recent study has indicated that traditional multi-layer network architecture based on the OSI model may not be well suited for 4G mobile network, where transactions of short packets will be the major part of the traffic in the channels. As the packets from different mobiles carry completely different channel characteristics, the receiver should execute all necessary algorithms, such as channel estimation, interactions with all upper layers and so on, within a very short time to make the detections of each packet flawlessly and even to reduce the

Future of smartphone

The next generation of smartphones is going to be context-aware, taking advantage of the growing availability of embedded physical sensors and data exchange capabilities. One of the main features applying to this is that the phones are going to start keeping track of your personal data, but adapt to anticipate the information you will need based on your intentions. There are going to be all new applications coming out with the new phones, one of which is an X-Ray device that reveals information about any location at which you point your phone. One thing companies are developing software to take advantage of more accurate location-sensing data. How they described it was as wanting to make the phone a virtual mouse able to click the real world. An example of this is where you can point the phones camera while having the live feed open and it will show text with the building and saving the location of the building for future use.
