It's not helped by the absolutely useless technology reporting in the daily press. Does anyone know why all the tech articles in the Kenyan press are so bad? Or perhaps I should phrase that more positively - does anyone know a good Kenyan tech reporter? So, this is a tactic that me and the rest of the Ubuntu Kenya LoCo team should probably avoid then :)

Remember the Deya Miracoool Kids?? It didn't become public because someone couldn't agree with a woman being able to give birth to a child every 3 month, but instead because this man from the other church complained about it, saying his confession doesn't allow such things. Hence the 400/= thing - seriously, if you sell an old computer for 30.000 Kshs to someone, ppl won't complain, but once it's cheap they'll become curious and want to know more. So the irony in this faked article isn't the rather sad satiric story about "hackers" getting killed, but instead the fact that you could actually sell anything to people as long as it's put on the market in a good way. @58: The other day, a Kenyan newspaper mixed up “hackers” with “crackers” – so this is just a runing gag on their inability to provide qualified informations because such a scenario may always be possible.
