2016 has become the year of virtual reality, and even though not all of the major systems have even been publicly released yet, we’re beginning to get a taste of their capabilities. Of the best VR headsets out there, some are meant for high-end gamers looking for groundbreaking experiences, some are built for simpler (and cheaper) gaming, and some are still figuring out their respective niches. But as interesting as it has been to watch the emergence of these devices over the course of the year so far, the VR wave really shouldn’t have surprised us.
EaseUS Partition Master, lets you Migrate Windows OS to a New HDD/SSD without having to Re-install OS and Applications
As we’ve already noted in our previous post, nowadays it’s almost a pre-requisite for the IT technicians to partition both internal and external storage devices for various reasons. It could be for security reasons – which comes in handy in case of data loss or just to have specific partitions dedicated to storing various files. Most of us have already heard about the great partition software from EaseUS, it handles the three tasks (partition manager, disk and partition copy wizard as well as partition recovery wizard) adequately, I’d imagine if you are a frequent windows PC user, at some point you’d have performed one of the mentioned tasks.

Get 500 percent airtime on Airtel Kenya’s ‘Shikisha Stori Na 5x’ Promo when you meet daily target
If you thought only Safaricom has an interesting reward offer for those who meet their daily set expenditure targets, think again – because Airtel Kenya’s Shikisha Story might just blow your mind. It’s exciting to see how mobile service providers can go head-to-head with similar reward offerings with somewhat huge margins in between. I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan of Airtel Kenya, especially since they ended their real unlimited data that wasn’t throttled after surpassing a certain limit, but their bonus offering in comparison with Safaricom, I’d say they have a good case to convince most Kenyan’s at least to test their services. Daily target promos essentially revolves around subscribers having a set minimum airtime usage that’ll see them rewarded with extra talk time once the minimum expenditure has been exceeded.
iPhone SE in Kenya, Review, Impressions, Pricing and How to get one
Call it a blast from the past, a retro or recycled iPhone, the iPhone SE seemingly strays from Apple’s official release cycle and packs what some would view as a combination of the best from two very different iPhone models. Physically, it’s an iPhone 5s, unveiled back in the day (2013 to be specific), but it has the goodness of Apple’s latest flagship – iPhone 6s (2015 model). While it resembles a 2013 model physically, the inside is packed with 2015’s parts. Officially, Apple products have an average delay period of around 3 months from the release date to when they become available locally here in Kenya. That’s the usual norm; however, if you’re as impatient as I am, there are numerous ways you can get these gadgets once they become available in the initial markets.

IT Security Jobs
Information technology continues to move from strength to strength with businesses using more and more social media to get their message out there and the concept of big data offering the potential to give greater and greater accuracy, although also become more and more difficult to manage. As the benefits of information technology become obvious, the risks can easily be ignored and businesses leave themselves vulnerable from attack on an increasing number of fronts, not just online, but through Bluetooth and wireless as well as the use of hardware other than the standard computer devices such as company laptops, smartphones and televisions.
That said, the more astute businesses, the ones worth watching, take these threats seriously which means that cyber security jobs are now some of the most desirable positions around. The good thing is that the businesses that do want to reduce the risk of hacks or data breaches know the value of a good candidate and are prepared to offer appropriate rewards for the same.
The great thing is that roles within cyber security jobs can be as varied as the businesses that require them. From analysing vulnerabilities in infrastructure and investigating countermeasures to creating security systems or components of such a system, the possibilities are endless. There’s also the opportunity to work as a consultant protecting information systems from viruses, worms, malware and the like as well as the ability to head-up a team when instigating a security system with a number of architects or managing a team of security analysts charged with preventing disruption and unauthorised access.
