AN INSPIRATION NOT FOR ONE BUT FOR ALL. R.I.P STEVEN JOBS

       For all the tech-legends I've been getting to know about and getting to know what they do, i can say jobs has been my best tech guider so far.Even though we haveRichard Branson , to whom most of my inspiration have been lying all through  but an image and motivation that captivated my soul,was from Steven's last speech in Stanford university. " Looking back i thought it was the best decision i ever made." This's the recap of the whole  speech that, not only made my day but changed everything in me concerning the rough times that I've been going, through my journey in technology analyzing & brain storming.

 

         Okey, it may seem ironic to some folks, cause since then Bill gates and Bronson have been my pillar to where all my inspiration were all ripped off from.Steven jobs by then had made a "BOOM" on the so called technology planet but with less concerns on what the tech global was all about.My life with technology can be best portrayed through Steve's last speech in Stanford university when he announced that, a world can never be self-driven if you invent & stay with your gadget without going public for the world to see.This confirms best that, Steven Jobs didn't relay on the idea of "self-mind-maze" but what the world would have made & talked about his geniouse thinking.Take a look on how twitter reaction was then as a result of Job's death & compare it with last terrific moments when he used to introduced his gadgets earlier in California, before releasing them to the market.Take a look at the precious & captivating own made "IPHONE" which made a close hit of about 8.5 billions sale in the closest countries, Netherlands,Carlifonia & even the U.S.This gives jobs a legacy that his gadgets will still sail in the forthcoming years & not be altered or be manipulated by any tech related company.

Gates being a tech-icon too, made a history in the past years but with a single PC in his cabin made him less geniouse compared to Steven Jobs who's pockets were filled with most smart PC's running IPHONE Operating System (  i OS ). Gates could have made & topped Job's doing from the previous introduction of the powerful OS Windows XP & that being packed with numerous service pack kernel, but because of high  seeking expectation, Jobs made me prosper best in everything that i worked on. Previously, on august this year , many people have known me better with different perspectives on-top, some have been hanging on a leaf-let of a bamboo tree. Back in 15th October he left a tendril that will be remembered by many & i being included.."Life is too short & a second of invention can make a billion in the next 2hrs that you utilize it more aggresively".With this words ringing around me, my journey as a future I.T analyst will as well experience trouble & wide out-look of stupid scenario just as other folks think of me, but i asure you that whenever a word is planted, a sentence, a novel & even a library may be as a result & that's what jobs has pundified in me."Stay hungry stay Foolish"

                          R.I.P STEVEN JOB'S & FOREVER SHALL YOUR INSPIRATION

                                                              CIR-CUM IN ME.

TERRIFIC MOMENTS OF THE CURRENT OPERATING SYSTEMS

Its been long since I tackle & gave a fresh analysis on the issues concerning our current Operating Systems.
Taking a close examination of the HP company, I can say there is nothing much to consider but a well future of the best selling Ipad Operating System. It's just the other day when we had it giving off the finale break on developing WebOs. Something ironic with the decision made futher was that, the company gave out a clean six figure $3.5 dollars U.S money that seemed a break through to the development of the Web or rather palmOS . If you can notice how all this started & how it came to its finale, this definitely tells you where the HP company is heading too. Its this time, that they've given out a hault to PC WEBOS & given a warm welcome to Ipad's WebOS. Come next year, when we'll be experiencing WebOs up the market again. With companies like Microsoft, Apple, Google & ISOLINUX are all left on the arena for seeing better moments of the OS generation.
Name them, like, Googlers, Doodlers or even the Tech jiants but the fact remains that Android together with Chrome OS will always follow Tovarlds for their best. Google have been work-in-hand with Google for captivating give out of the current OS. The U.S multitude have been giving in for this numerous OS hoping that the need of data security would be, but a better embrace for their future assessment. Comparing the company with the legendary Apple INC, I can analyse that Google are yet to step in to their expectation because of different reasons. I've got my fellow geeks whom we've been discussing the issue out, but to my observations many people would opt going for stylish & numerous devices, forgetting the issues on data encryption. Google may never sniff a better angle when indeed competing with Apple INC. Steven jobs has been highly rated ever since 2003-2011 to which Google will never capture their imperial but stare out Apple flying with colourfull raves. Matters concerning data security, I can say Google can never be compared with no other. Take a look at how Android OS's beginning with its earlier versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.1 & finally 3.1 have been securely imposing great encryption on data storage. As a FUTURE I.T ANALYST, I tend to stress that technology enhancement is self & best suited if security it greatly clinged up to.

JOURNEY OF THE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM.

Its been a decade since the evolution of the operating systems came about. Anything kept for back-up in those old days were merely creating an exclusive opportunity for a better interaction of the so named VIRUSES.
I may offer big thanks to Linus Tovarlds, the isralite man who invented the ISOLINUX Operating System to which its being ignored in our various markets serving technology gadgets a dream come true. Individuals have been going for Microsoft products including its best forgone OS commonly known as the Windows XP / the service package that others name it. Its true & also a fact that whenever Microsoft introduces anything new to the U.S market no one will lay a distance proximity about the product itself, rather many will be justified to it. Going to various organizations, what captures the eyes if many is the windows XPs OS running on those great & super-fast dual-cores. But the questions which you should get right in hand, are at times contradicting if not well taken of. Why should I get a certain type if Operating System?? Why should I bother introducing an interactive procedure whenever I install the Operating System onto my device?? Does it have a better scheduling & synchronization of data that I want?? Will VIRUSES & the blunt headed hackers have an illegal access onto my device through an head-on installation or other, virtualization?? When all this are answered correctly, then you've got no point but to have the appreciated OS serving on your device with lots of merit on the go.
You may find it contradicting but let me assure you that in the coming technology generation most of these precious devices will all be running a great safety of the ignored LINUX OS. Keeping in mind, you may have the window fly onto your desktop but to my assurance, the individual serving a LINUX world will have a better in you & any other individual serving the same.
Giving it a close view of history, the gentleman ontop, Linus Tovarlds has been experiencing difficulty ever since his 1st evolution of Obuntu OS. He's been working for years, trying to deploy a geek relationship with his suppliers. He 1st created a low resolution of Obuntu OS which gave its initial way in 1992. On the overboard many couldn't predict the moment & when the next could come,as they didn't like the UI together with its non-friendly interaction environment to which it served. In the early 1995 he went wide when he conjucted a better skweeding commanding environment to which the deposition of the world threatening VIRUSES couldn't bag at all. This was the 1st kick-off given to him & the ISOLINUX company itself. Today I can say many gadgets including my spectacular ANDROID phone, runs the ISOLINUX fully, especially when it comes to better & updating CUSTOM ROMS as other folks do. You may seem to know it all, but after going through all this, you'll notice you've been running the best & impressive OS to which I, the FUTURE I.T ANALYST us analyzing at the moment.
Look at this expensive devices like the IPhone. It runs an IOS kind of Operating System, to which am not going to criticize it futher, but have you realize that the caching, installation cylinder & the UI captivating HD buys the full sequence & I may say the best utility drive, come from the so called ISOLINUX ??? Not leaving behind the new made 2-by-2 scale kind of routers together with the Ipads that we luxurious take them for superb interaction, runs also the ISOLINUX cylinder customization. Being the forthcoming future I.T ANALYST I will always encourage & emphasize most that the ISOLINUX OS is scorching under a hasty kind of journey but believe me SIR Tovarlds will be the next supreme master in this tech-globe universe !!!

SMART MINDED INDIVIDUALS WHO MADE THE INTERNET A SUCCESS

        I can't imagine the whole world is entirely having a close inch to the pick of technology. Sometimes you may wonder how the whole thing of the so called internet came all about but then you find yourself only to be sniffing at a close edge of what the internet thing is all about. When i was a kid, i knew little actually about internet co-founders but more on the inter-net's greatest platform. How far we've strided, rather, depends on how giants of the Internets world got well on it & had it newly born to the entire name that we call the " INTERNET ".

          The gentleman over-their seems rather happy, just by the look of things. We may be aiming to counteract the say " The sky is the Limit " , isn't that true?? but as to my overview of perspective, " Aim at the moon to have your star got well focused beyond it, & that's actually the sky !!,,,,hahaha i may be sounding old in lectures but i can vivid remember that " Old is Gold ". Microsoft founder, by the name Bill gates, he's well known for the huge microsoft cooperation. Being a son of a well known lawyer, he's one but the only & mostfull individuals who stink pretty rich if may say !. During his last conference held in lisbon, he said that, he actually needs a special computer,,,,Got it?? a special computer that could enable him store exclusively, preciouse data related to his family's fortune. It happens that the numbers of his fortune has reached is too big for an ordinary computers like the one we're used to, together with the IRS numerous i Pads & inbound smartphones to accommodate all that staff. As a future analyst i still don't get a vivid picture as to why individuals like them never let even a single of his info sprout beyond their nose & mouth , only to give a better cartel for the future??.Okey, in Kenya we may be having very seriouse & numerouse developers but with poor eviction & integrity to converse out the issue of OS developing, just as it's seen with Gates in the U.S !.Don't judge me wrong anyway anyway cause it's not what somebody aspires to became but only the higher sensation that a person has over something that makes his/her life more interesting & sweeter towards the boarders & edges of a sweet smelling nectar. Early in the 2000, was the year when Gates & his wife Mellinda founded their foundation which was later known as " Bill & Mellinda Gates Foundation ". As a future analyst i may conclude that he's one of the most influential people in the world not living his success inspiring millions of other people working in & out his Domain.

                Getting to an interesting level of the internet , actually those who are internet junkies !!, if i may say, these two gentle men made it all over after simple & a few components internet driving utilities were kept at-hand to offer us with the few enlightenment of eradicating illiteracy across the globe. Take for example Bob Khan, the old man in a black official suit & bespectacled to all have him as a computer scientist who finished his studies at MIT in the U.S . He is also well known to have come-up with TCP / IP communicating protocols that made it more vigilant in communication above all cross-talks. It's about 3 years down the line that still i haven't known to introduce various packets with clear accordance to the topology best suited for but funny enough Bob Khan, made it all awesome !!!. In the fall of 1972 he demonstrated the ARPANET ( that's the core set of a network that came to compose the global internet ) by connecting 20 different computers at the International Communication Conference. This actually made people realize that packets switching was just but a good deal of technology. I know some characters may be wondering, why i say all this where as i do nothing where as i do nothing but for your clearer assurance am deeply getting into it day-by-day, ha hah !!!! Excuse me for such a laugh but it's out of mercy that i pity for this characters actually. Okey, not living behind Vint Cerf, the next gentleman taking a closer glance beside Bob Khan, also made the TCP / IP protocols grow in vast distribution when he formally worked for Google & made it's communication a success.Since 2010 Vin Cerf has served as a commissioner for the broad band commission development for digital development & that's a UN  body which aims to make broadband internet technologies more widely available. For sure am all about the staff you've been going through but I'll still give in a lot of stress that as a future I.T  analyst, I'll need to see Kenyan geeks making it right in the coming Vision 2030. Finally there goes off my words to express & it's till my word that a road for our future developers should be well seen under the constructed poody.

MOBILE WEBS VS SMART APPS TECHNOLOGY.

As a future developer, I get asked
my opinion on mobile web vs. rich
app development quite often, and
understandably so. For most mobile
developers, this is one of the very
first questions we face when we
begin planning to build an
application. And to be honest,
there’s really no “correct” answer to
the question. If I absolutely had to
break it down to a couple distinct
criteria, the decision would likely be
based on the following:
OS/Hardware-specific feature
requirements
Development budget
Development timeline
Target audience
Before I get too much further, I feel
I ought to explain that a vast
majority of my mobile development
experience has been with Android,
so you’ll likely find that most of my
examples revolve around it. With
that in mind, let’s carry on.
OS/Hardware-specific
feature requirements
HTML5 and native mobile browsers
are quickly getting to the point
where the gap is quickly closing
between what can be accomplished
from inside a browser vs. what can
be done from a native (rich)
application. However, there is still
one significant feature that separates
the two in my opinion: push
notifications.
I’m not very familiar with the push
notification system for iOS, but I
have implemented Cloud-to-Device
Messaging (C2DM) for Android
several times, and it is incredibly
useful for server-to-device
communication. You can use them
to get a device to “call home,” start a
process running on the device, or
even deliver a short message. The
only feature that comes close to this
in HTML5 is the WebSocket. But if
the user closes the browser, your
channel of communication is
severed.
Another reason why you might
choose to build a rich app is
because your requirements demand
a long-running service that persists
in the background. A background
service may be needed for indefinite
location tracking, device monitoring,
or lengthy calculations/processes.
One of the features I like most about
Android as a developer is the way
intents were designed. Intents allow
you to not only integrate other
applications into your own, but also
integrate your application into
others. A good example of the prior
scenario would be launching a thrid
party barcode scanner application
from within your own app and
receiving a UPC code back. As far as
the latter situation is concerned,
many apps will allow you to “share”
content with other apps, so it’s
possible to get your app to appear
in the list of possible choices (for
instance “sharing” a place from
within Google Maps). This unique
interoperability is definitely a very
strong case to build a native Android
application over a web app.
Development budget and
timeline
I doubt there are very many
developers out there who’d
disagree with me when I say that
mobile web development is grossly
cheaper than developing a native
rich app. Granted, 95% of my
development experience is web
development, so it’s fair to say that
it’s what I know best. However, the
fact that you can develop once and
automatically target every web-
enabled platform is quite a powerful
one. Compare this to developing,
say, an Android, iPhone, and
Blackberry app separately, and it’s
easy to see the advantage here.
As far as development timeline is
concerned, I don’t think I need to
say much more. Obviously
developing one web app is quicker
than developing multiple rich apps,
so let’s move along.
Target audience
OK, I’ll admit it. I’m an Android
fanboy. So when I first started doing
mobile development, I completely
neglected iOS and only focused on
Android. No wait, let me try that
again. I completely thumbed my
nose at iOS and all my iOS-using
friends. It didn’t take me long,
however, to realize that if I was
really serious about being a full-time
mobile developer, I simply could not
ignore one of the top two mobile
OSs, no matter how much I
disagreed with Apple’s philosophy or
believed in Android’s success.
So, the easiest and quickest thing for
me to do was develop a mobile web
site for my iOS-toting friends. The
result was actually quite impressive,
as I had created a nearly identical
copy of my Android app for the web
using webkit transforms via some
javascript I found/borrowed/
modified for my own purposes, to
create independently scrolling areas
(something that is not easy to
accomplish with mobile web).
At first, my peers were pleased that
they now had a way to use an app
they had been begging me to port
for months. But as soon as the
novelty wore off, they quickly
realized that the mobile web version
just wasn’t quite as slick as a native
rich app could be. Even though they
could create a bookmark on their
home screen to make it appear as a
native app, the differences were still
noticeable (namely the lack of push
notifications, which I get around by
sending emails).
Conclusion
Now I’ve presented a select few
arguments on both sides of the
case. Clearly there are a lot more
factors that go into this decision, but
I feel like the ones I’ve mentioned
have been the biggest determining
factors in my own personal choices.
There really is no right or wrong
answer at this point, and at the rate
the mobile tech industry is evolving,
everything I have just said may be
moot tomorrow.
As things stand today, I feel that the
best approach is to target both
mobile web and rich apps if all your
determining factors allow for it. But
this is clearly a subject that will need
consistent reevaluation as time
progresses. Eric Schmidt himself has
been quoted as saying “HTML5 is
the way almost all applications will
be built, including for phones” so
I’m confident in saying this is a topic
to keep your eye on.
On a final note, I encourage
everyone reading this article to
watch this video if the subject matter
discussed piques your interest. It’s
the Android vs HTML5 session from
Google I/O and I discovered while
writing this article that it was
uploaded to Youtube, as it was not
streamed live from Google I/O.
Hopefully I have answered a few
questions for you, and if not feel
free to sound off in the comments!

KENYA AS THE FIRST INCUBATION CENTER WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY ENHANCEMENT.

Kenya has been selected as the home
of the first of five incubation centres
around the world that aim to promote
a knowledge-based economy.
The new hub named m:Lab was
launched on Thursday with the aim of
creating a new space for Kenyan
developers to collaborate on
developing applications for mobile
phones.
Kenya was selected due to the
country’s rising profile as a software
development hub.
The development means that Kenyan
SMEs in the sector will now be have
access to a 13 million Euro kitty over
the next two years to fund their
growth.
The joint partnership between
infoDev, a donor-funded ICT for
development agency hosted by the
World Bank, the Finnish Foreign
Ministry and Nokia, will provide the
funding for the initiative.
“We are helping businesses improve
value in the sectors that have the
most potential to contribute jobs and
exports – for Kenya, this means ICT,
agri-business and tourism,” said
Johannes Zutt, country manager for
the World Bank.
The programme brings together three
tracks – mobile application
development, business incubation
and technology entrepreneurship –
together with a supporting track of
analytical work in the field of ICTs and
Innovation Systems in Agriculture.
Information PS Bitange Ndemo said
the country was hoping to push the
contribution of the ICT sector past
agriculture to being the country’s most
significant GDP producer.
“We aim to raise the contribution of
ICTs to the economy from the current
Sh5 billion to over Sh25 billion in the
next five years, and to do this, we
must put in place sustainable
solutions to enable the growth of
SMEs in the sector,” said Mr Ndemo.
Analysts say the technology sector has
increasingly been driven by an
emerging middle-class population
with potential to buy smart phones as
well as rising industry investments by
players.
Demand for mobile apps presents a
huge potential for developers, brands
and end-users but players will need
to invest time and resources if they are
to fully gain from the fast-growing
mobile marketing global industry,
expected to be worth Sh1 trillion (US
$17.5 billion) by 2012.
“Mobile application marketing is a
rapidly growing engagement and
advertising channel for local and
international brands today. Increase
in use of apps by young population
and emerging middle-class is spurning
an unprecedented growth which may
help companies focus on more eye-
balls of their target markets in a totally
new dimension,” said Mr Oyolla.
Locally, the growth of mobile internet
subscription coupled with a significant
adoption of smart phones are key
factors driving the mobile application
segment in Kenya. In its January 2011
report, Communications Commission
of Kenya (CCK) noted between July
and September 2010 that 98 per cent
of the Internet market share being
through mobile devices.
“In the end, we expect to have win-
win situation. Developers will have full
local support to develop and sell in a
global marketplace to millions of
consumers while brands will be able
to engage their customers via
immersive mobile apps for continuous
relevance and loyalty,” said Mr Oyolla.
