Africa's big Apple

Few days ago there was a discussion and i mentioned how impossible it is to pinpoint the exact population of Lagos, well! this video said 20million people with a landmass of  999.6 km2 (385.9 sq mi) compared to that of  London (1,570 km2 (607 sq mi), however, Lagos is approximately more densely populated with over 2000 people /km2 than london. Yes i was right all along. well who cares?

Fashola has continued to hype and increase the rep already owned by Lagos, truly lagos is like a country on her own.

Windows 8.1 upgrade

Microsoft flaunts her upgraded OS Windows 8.1 for mobile devices, brings Home button back for traditional Windows lovers

Microsoft gives us the first official video of the new Windows 8.1 11 hours ago by Vince 193 comments Microsoft has uploaded a 4-minute video giving you a first look of the upcoming update for Windows 8 dubbed Windows 8.1 The video demonstrates just a handful of the new features and customization options and the issues Microsoft has fixed. New tile sizes, lockscreen photo frames, homescreen wallpapers, Apps sorting, and of course, the return of the Start button in Desktop mode. Check out Jensen Harris from the Windows team giving a neat presentation of the changes that the update brings. As you saw, most of the changes are cosmetic in their nature, and not much in terms of functionality and under-the-hood-fiddling has happened. Of course, we’ll see in detail what Microsoft has been doing on Windows 8.1 when it launches on June 26, at the annual Build conference.

Gadgets with Time/Compatibility

As time passes, technology makes giant strides and has a direct effect on the size of computers, gadgets and its peripherals which all reduce drastically in size reduces in size, even

but at a point also in the future devices will start going back to their big shape, using Apple's iPhone as a case study, with the way iPhone 5 was developed from iPhone 4s, the screen had a vertical increase, using that as a starting point, instead of devices to become more compact, they might end up being used as weapons. anyway that's just an unlikely fantasy

Nigeria's Broadband Plan: free internet at every NIPOST

A little bit optimistic about this information, it's actually very promising, with the usual Nigerian sluggishness and corruption it will be better to right off this document and go back to normal business, however, there are lots of reasons why one should not.

The Chairman of the Presidential committee on National Broadband Strategy and Roadmap which was inaugurated September 2012 is Dr. Ernest Ndukwe (OFR) and Vice president  Mr. Jim Ovia. Ernest was pivotal in ensuring development and monitoring of Communication giants in Nigeria like (MTN, Glo, Econet and the others) back then, one of th reason GSM came. Also ensuring the then NCC (Nigeria Communication Commission) was one of the most successful ministry. The NCC then chaired open sessions for the public with communication companies.

The comforting part of this story is that, if these men can apply  a similar drive to that of Bringing the GSM to Nigeria to Broadband then YES, they can achieve their plan to the betterment of the discussed nation.
Easily readable version of the plan. VeryPromising!!!
Hints:
There are plans now to free up the occupied 700Mhz Spectrum for deployment of LTE (4G) as the committee identified that 3G and 4G(LTE) will be the best way to facilitate a rapid encroachment of Broadband. "LTE is today the technology of choice for 4G services.Government will conduct spectrum licensing rounds for LTE by 2014/2015 in the 2.5GHz/ 2.6GHz bands (generally considered to cover the frequency range between 2500-2690 MHz). The 2.5/2.6 GHz bands offer abundant FDD spectrum suitable for building LTE networks." Presently Only a few cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt currently have any appreciable fibre infrastructure coverage that could be classified standard.
Some approaches will include:
FTTH: Fibre to the Home
FTTB: Fibre to the Base
FTTx: Fibre to the x (where x is defined as where ever may be in need of fibre connection)
LTE or 4G
3G
Sattelite



By 2015 according to the plan, will have all NIPOST branches host Public access points, meaning that you could use internet for free whenever you are in a NIPOST office





What do you think about this prospect?
With corruption, will this be feasible?
