Twitter got hacked

I read the news on techcrunch http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/14/in-our-inbox-hundreds-of-confidential-twitter-documents/ about twitter getting. I just kept wondering why with all the tech guys at twitter you end up being hacked. I really want to know if the hacker is an employee or a former employee of twitter and I would think that is a little forgiveable. But even then, there have to me security checks when you are handling confidential information about peoples account and confidential info. This is totally unacceptable and bullshit. Someone has to step up on their security checks..This situation will even be owrse if the hacker has actually never been an employee of twitter. That will be unforgiveable in tech terms...

What thoughts do you have on this hack...We may wake up one morning and here too that hey facebook got hacked, or yahoo or even gmail? And may be we will stop using the internet and we go back to Stone age or we devise better control mechanisms right now...

Google OS hah...Lets the games go into over drive...

I read fake Steves blog on . http://fakesteve.blogspot.com/ and saw that much as the is pretty nasty with his expressions had some pretty smart thoughts.One thing that struck me was why cant you just allow this guys the opportunity to show the world what they got. Chrome was probably a failed project but who knows it has showed this google geeks what they got to do to bring in a new product to compete with Windows, Linux and Mac OS...lets get more players in the game and it will get even much more interesting
Well..I am a big fun of open source and that should give microsoft another run for their money. I hope it goes on well for you google guys.. All the best...
..Just watch this space..

Ban on Second hand Computers for Uganda

When the budget was read last week. I was particularly suprised with one item. Banning second hand computers for you. In a country where barely 2 percent of the country's population has access to internet which is very expensive and very slow and more than 60% use second hand computers. It sucks to see a ban on this machines. This leaves me thinking if someone was doing her homework before they concluded on this ban. Someone has to speak and and together we can put the voice out to save this low income earning brothers and sisters in Uganda. Please join the cause with any form of ideas you have. I will appreciate them so much!!!
