Re: Tech Week in Review: 3 Things You Shouldn’t Have Missed

Kamau — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:08:22 -0000

I'm very interested in the Google Voice. They've been holding on to GrandCentral forever it's nice to see they are actually going to use what they had to offer rather then shut them down.

This is great to see! I don't know when our people will listen to WEB Dubious about Black press. I see these folks are.

Re: Did You Get Dropbox Yet?

Kamau — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:51:34 -0000

I'm already using S3 so I'll give dropbox a chance. It has 2 important things I'm looking for versioning and AES security so I'll let you know what I think. I wonder if can use dropbox to backup websites using cron? I guess I'll have to play around.

Re: Trouble with WhiteHouse.gov

Kamau — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:41:47 -0000

I'm not surprised the white house doesn't have these capabilities because they've never had to do it before Obama. Also security risk it can potentially create for whitehouse.gov. I'm sure nobody wants to look bad because a mailing list or mass text messenger service caused an exploit. So it think the process to create and integrate these features with whitehouse.gov will be a slow and costly process. But on the flipside the white house does have plenty of money (i.e. bailout) so they could use a private contractor's 3rd party solution. There are plenty mailing list and text messaging companies out there.

Re: Robert Johnson scolds Alfred Liggins for FCC Complaint

Kamau — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:56:58 -0000

While I hate to see our people argue in public and I hate to agree with Bob Johnson, he is absolutely right. Blacks folks have to come together and work in unity so for dude to try and block another black owned tv network is wrong.

Good article. I'm glad to see one company that is keeping jobs around rather than cutting them.

Re: Think About ‘The Black Factor’

Kamau — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:47:42 -0000

You know I don't why we don't see a company who won't hire people with Black names as racism. If there is no problem with a Asian name or Indian name or Russian name why should there but an issue with a Black name? Why do with have to change our names?

Re: Google Latitude: Where You At?

Now we all can be iSPY! I figure someone would come out with this technology for consumer use rather than tap around it with the many GPS products. They are comfortable enough to just straight say tracking...device.

Re: Connect With ‘The Black List Project’

Saw the documentary on HBO twice so far and wouldn't mine ordering it. I think it's good to have talented Black people speaking on Blackness.

Re: Study Examines Technology Habits of Black Mothers

Kamau — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:57:02 -0000

So who said black people don't read? This survey is yet another contradiction to the stereotypes about the "welfare queen" and "blacks don't read" foolishness.

The things people will do for attention and tv time, but I do hope she finds a man.

Re: CES 2009: Ludacris releases first Rap HDS Blu-ray album

Kamau — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:25:06 -0000

I had a friend who was in school for audio engineering telling me about HD CDs back in like 2003 so I kinda cool to see someone actually use it.

Re: Boondocks’ Bootleg

Kamau — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:15:29 -0000

I have never like the boondocks show from day one. IMO that show as a whole and it's bootlegged version are ignorance at its finest.

Re: Black Voices releases Toolbar, Desktop App, and Email Service

Kamau — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 10:56:08 -0000

I think there is a serious problem when a black-owned company releases a black browser and catches serious flack but when a white-owned company release products for black people it's all good. I don't see post on IT news/blogging site calling AOL racist. What's up with that? There is something wrong here?

This is such a great idea. I hope others will get involved and carry out their own Ebony Experiment.

Re: Race And The Web: Going After Niche Markets Or Practicing Digital Segregation?

Kamau — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:11:15 -0000

Good post it's always amazing to me when Black services are called "racist" by people who refused to promote and market to Black people. These people use say stuff like black people don't buy XYZ or they are marketing to the general public or whatever. Yet our products and services are called niche marketing as if what's good for Black in America is not good for America. Rap music and hip hop culture examples of what they (read: mainstream business) racistly (is that a word!) were against but if you look at products and services rap music and hip hop culture brought to the America and the World you will see what's good for Black America is good for the America. It's too bad to that the opposite doesn't always apply.

Re: CyberSynchs: Your Wireless Phone Finally Went Wireless

That's a pretty cool service right there. I wonder how the wireless sync works and what is required on your phone and pc to do it.

The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness. – Marcus Garvey

While I LOVE the idea of a Black browser I hate its implementation. As one blog said this project is so 1990ish. Us in technology have to do better! While minimalist, lightweight apps are the growing trend what do we do make a bloated, ugly browser with way too much going on. As one poster said the brothers should of made a Black plugin for firefox rather than folk Firefox and mess it up. I don’t think I’ve seen a black (in color) browser ever! Why would you make a browser black? All that different stuff going on at the top just looks like IE6 infected with spam and adware. Overall these people didn’t put anything thought in design or trending and their browser reflects that. I wish Black folks stop building Black products that sucks and then except them to sale just because they are Black. Build a quality product first then Black folks will support you. Let’s have some pride!

We must reinforce argument with results. – Booker T. Washington

Now if you are the creators of this project and you are reading my comment about it shoot me an email or two and I’ll take my time with suggestions to help this project because I know if you are not part of the solution than you are part of the problem. kamaubandele [at] yahoo.com

Re: Bob Johnson’s Newest Venture: Urban Television with an Interactive Twist

Kamau — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:08:20 -0000

I think this is a good business model if it can last but in respect to all the tommin' Mr. Johnson did for Clinton I have a feeling the highest bidders for programs on his station will be no different than the programs on BET. Unless people like Bill Cosby, Oprah, Danny Glover, Denzel Washington, Spike Lee, Harry Belafonte, Black Family Channel producers, and etc sign on and help with the programming. Though that's unlikely. With this biz model the producers will have a very large say so and we have remember it is young white middle class Americans who determine, through financial support, what "urban" programming is successful and what is not successful.

Pretty cool. I'll have to give it a try.
