BEST INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER IN UGANDA
For a while now I've been sucking over the dreadful internet speeds in this country and worst of all, ISP's charge high costs for their supposedly 3G(300kbps).
But who offers the best internet?
          1. ORANGE TELECOM 
          2. Orange logo.svg 
 My very first choice is Orange Telecom, the French multinational telecommunications
cooperation Orange offers speeds of up to 21mbps that's on their latest modems although on a speed test, speeds range between 5mpbs-8mbps. sometimes they even go as low as 3mbps-5mbps download speed and an upload speed of about 2mbps-3mbps. Dunno whether it's just the marketing or Politics, but these speeds never hit the 21mbps spot. Basing on Stability and Steadiness of the Network, i must say its a 4star that's if we are rating on the basis of dial up connectivity.
Talking about the costs, uhmmmm. The costs range from 300,000 per month that's for unlimited and of course their pathetic caped packages which are so dynamic therfore not worth mesioning. Internet settings for orange;
Account name: Orange internet/wap
Homepage: http://m.orange.ug
Proxy address: 10.201.20.4
proxy port: 8080 or 9401 for old versions
Access point name: orange.ug
             2. MTN 
            The MTN Logo
MTN The southafrican based telecom company known for its annoying customer care and unstable mobile money service is number 2# on my list.
 Speeds on MTN are very steady and fast too. Though not faster than Orange, MTN offers speeds of about 3mbps download and 1.5mbps upload speed and that's not so bad, is it?
The costs are equally outrageous and go for around 300k a month same as orange. The only exception is that MTN is abit mean when it comes to its unlimited subscription.
internet settings are;
Account name: wap
Homepage: http://mtn.co.ug
Proxy address: 10.120.0.138
Proxy port: 8080
Access point name: yellopix.mtn.co.ug
                                                   3.WARID TELECOM
                                                    Warid Telecom logo 
Buoy i  must say, warid telecom seems to be da best telecom company in Uganda....Bomboclat a yut.
why do i say this? 
1. Now even the poor can talk For all the hours in the world
2. Seems like Ugly guys can now hook up beautiful chicks for as low as 1k
3. cut the crap, lets get serious,
okay? 
Alright warid telecom is number 3# on my list and Though their advert 3G has gone viral, don't get fooled to think its actually 3G.
When run on a speed test, Warid registers about 1.7mbps download and around 0.3-1mbps of upload speed averagely though the disadvantage is that the internet is so unstable, one minute its on 3G and the next its on Edge. 
And i forgot to mention the annoying unending messages they send you like your about to Suicide yourself.
okay lets jump straight to the settings;
Account name: warid gprs
Homepage: http://google.co.ug
Proxy address: 10.5.27.80
Proxy port: 8080
Access point name: wap.waridtel.co.ug
 

 Don't forget to post your comments on what you think is the best ISP and MOST IMPORTANTLY, remember to Subscribe to my blog and watch out for part 2 of my ISP list.

4 DIMENSIONAL CINEMA(4D CINEMA)

So what exactly is 4d cinema?
well, most of you have heard of 3D cinema and for those of you who don't know, 3D cinema allows you to watch movies in a 3 dimensional way just like above.

4D cinema/Film allows you to watch 3D movies with enhanced features like smell, shake, fly, strobe lights, wind, fog, all synchronized with on screen action. Beautiful ain't it?

So what exactly do i mean?
Some of those nasty times when a comedian puffs and everyone in the film is like Ahhrrrrrrr, well, now you can smell that.
A car bursts into flames and you can smell the scent of burning rubber for example the film transformers premiered a 4D film in Hollywood and God, the smell of rubber disgusted the audience....that's a disadvantage i guess.
Kungfu panda was also one of those films premiered on 4D and lets see what happened;
Everyone received a slight punch in the kidneys when Po got hit(Po is the main character in the movie i.e the bear). Why? The seats had massage chair motors so that the feeling could be felt on your body.
Although Some customers complained of feeling damp from the water effects after watching Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and And there were reports of people becoming nauseous and going temporarily deaf after watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Most of the audience felt good.
And now.........................................
4D cinema is even becoming better with the creation of seats that bend backwards when a character is kicked in the film and seats that fly when a flying scene occurs in the film and of course its even getting better time after time. 


So what do you think, Do you like the idea? Post your comments below.

THE UPCOMING I PHONE 5 






















So many rumors have circulated about the design and the features upcoming in this amazing i phone 5 so am going to talk a little about what ur going to expect form this baby.

the design idea was created by an artist called Jon Farcette and it looks like apple is buying the idea.

apparently the i phone 5 will be built on liquid metal A mix of several different metals, Liquid Metal could allow the phone to be more durable. Light like plastic but durable like aluminum, it would also allow the phone to weigh less and have a thinner profile. 

these are some of the features to expect from the i phone 5;
  1.  4 inch wide screen
  2. 10mp rear and 5mp front camera
  3. quad processor
  4. quad speakers
  5. landscape and horizontal video viewing
  6. 1gb of ram
  7. 4g/LTE support
  8. inbuilt digital wallet
  9. liquid retina display
  10. extensive smart features 
interesting thing about this new concept design, which by the way is going to become a live this year(later) is that its going to be breath taking

hacking the prepaid electricity service

want ho hack ur electricity meter? well..... i've scrached my head for a while right now trying to figure out how this thing works.
the meter itself has no much significance since by default, it sends no electricity to ur house and if any wire connected to this meter is cut, the electricity goes off.
there 2 ways to hack this system:
1. you can open the device, remove the chip, put it into one of those classy chip programmers and just change a few values usually 1 or 0 for true or false or
2.you can use a random key generator to generate its value usually 14 digits. you can either choose to program the code itself or receive the real code from me on email. use C,C++ preferably. since the device has no way of communicating online, its ever offline.
3.  some of these things still run on magnetic fields n u can actually play around with the speed at which it bills u by either altering the magnetic field revolutions or use ur own ideas.

the only problem with the system is that once u tamper with its billing system, they r able to know at a later stage when the auditing is done and u'll still have to pay for the amount consumed so any ideas of avoiding these r very welcome.
