It’s what we predicted would happen. In fact it’s what we thought had happened sometime ago, but here are some authoritative figures that confirm it. According to a piece in Bizcommunity, Rick Joubert of Vodafone estimates there are now at least 9,5-million mobile wap users in the country. These are combined user figures on all the local cellphone networks. In comparison, Online Publisher Association (OPA) statistics of traditional desktop web SA users, puts the local-only ...

Terra preta (“dark earth” in Portuguese) refers to expanses of very dark, fertile anthropogenic soils found in the Amazon Basin. It owes its name to its very high charcoal content. It is also known as “Amazonian dark earth” or “Indian black earth”. In Portuguese its full name is “Terra preta do índio” or “Terra preta de índio”. Terra mulata is lighter or brownish in color.

Good morning, Washington. It's Friday again, which is awesome. Much less awesome is the preponderance of headlines today involving young teens who have been shot or killed in the last month. There actually aren't really many more stories to choose from for the roundup this morning. Just last night a 15-year-old was killed in Southeast, and WJLA has an interview with 13-year-old Quashawn Brown, who is now home from the hospital after having been shot ...

The debate over the Detroit bailout is all over the automotive blogs - every armchair pundit and auto enthusiast has their own opinion. I’ve written about it twice already (here and here). So it’s not unexpected to read 30 posts a day about the same issue. What did surprise me is how wrong so many of them are. Autoblog, one of the big’ems in the autoblogosphere, recently published this small post indicting those of us ...

The following is not exactly the letter Dr. Scott McLeod asked for awhile back in his post, “Edublogger letters to the next President,” but it hits near the mark for me. This is my comment to the USNWR blog post today by Eddy Ramírez, “Who Should Be the Nation’s Next Education Chief?” Of the options you’ve listed here, Linda Darling-Hammond would certainly have my vote. I agree with others who observe that we need someone ...

Some observations from Switzerland that may be relevant to the ongoing talking point from some libertarian institutions that a lack of fealty to small government orthodoxy somehow did the GOP in. They have over here a party of the populist right called the Swiss People’s Party that takes a Euroskeptic, immigration restrictionist line that on economics generally favors low taxes, deregulation and stingier social services. At the same time, their main electoral base of support ...

Since 2007, the Department of Defense has restricted overseas military personal from accessing a number of popular sites including YouTube and MySpace for reasons largely attributed to bandwidth usage and possible security issues. In honor of Veteran’s Day, Delve Networks has teamed with Military OneSource (a service of the Department of Defense) to launch TroopTube - a YouTube-like site that gives all active-duty military personnel and their families a place to share their videos online. ...

Q: When will the carriers start to let go of the grasp they have over what applications and content can be put out there on their network/deck? A: The topic of carriers becoming less controlling & more open has been a very hot topic in the U.S. especially and even led to Google’s initial bid on the U.S. spectrum auction. Although nearly all carriers say they are open to being open, they also say that ...
