The Cable Guy: How to network a continent - http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-m...
This is how the last mile has so far been covered in Africa. The future is already here; but it’s about to be supercharged by a cable emerging from the sea in Mombasa, removing the need to rely on frustratingly slow and expensive satellite connections. And as it happens, Kenya will soon have no fewer than three fibre-optic submarine cables, all beaming traffic back and forth to the rest of the world at the speed of light. - Ben Turner

I like when lawyers tell you something is possible, and then enumerate 1,000 things that will get in the way. Legal chilling effect.
Hot, Hot, Hot! A Twitter Augmented Reality App for iPhone - http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
When using TwittARound, the avatars of nearby Twitter users float through the top of the screen where the live video feed is displayed. Tap on any of the avatars to see their Twitter feed which will show up at the bottom. It's a simple but elegant way of interacting with an augmented reality. - Ben Turner
