In that magazine, we discussed issues of Internet Freedom, with our key focus on what some writers called the �digital revolution� of Egypt. As predicted, that revolution would have far more lasting implications on, not just Egypt, but the whole continent: and as it appears, even on <em>PC Tech Magazine</em><em>!</em><br></font><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">The subsequent growth of social networking within Egypt and Africa as a whole made it necessary for us to take another look at the subject, albeit from another point of view: what we�ve referred to as "<em>artificial conversations".</em> With a major contribution to one Indian blogger, Nilofar Ansher, who is also an online producer for G3ICT (Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs), the story assesses the technical <em>convenience </em>of the Facebook and Twitter, as well as their role in Uganda�s walk-to-work protests.</font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">If you attended, or read about the Africa Internet Entrepreneurs� Conference of March 18, 2011, then the name, Michael Niyitegeka rings a bell. He is a lecturer; and a consultant trainer in a wide-range of areas in the both business and IT but is also passionate about digital/cyberspace branding and visibility, IT Strategy and Management and IT optimization. In our Interview section, you�ll see him provide answers to some of the big questions.</font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">As the <em>Mac vs. PC</em> debate goes on, we�ve taken an initiative to help you understand the benefits and shortfalls of each, with hope that the information published in this section will help you make a more informed choice when wondering which one is best for you. For now, we�ve extensively studied the physical (hardware) aspects of each. In future editions, we�ll compare the software elements (operating system and performance with regard to specific tasks, as well as security). We also asked some of the users for their opinions on the subject.</font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">In the last 3 issues, we�ve been featuring a series on FOSS, thanks to Dr. Richard Boateng and Silvia Aimasso of PearlRichards Foundation. In this concluding session, we�re pleased to bring to you the last of the four-episode series, in which we use a real-world case study to explore how we can select FOSS applications and localize them for developing countries.</font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2"><br></font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">You�ll also find interesting coverage in the regular sections of <em>News</em>, <em>What�s New</em>, <em>Learn</em>, <em>Reviews</em> and <em>Gaming</em>, all of which make for an interesting read�from my point of view anyway. I hope you agree with me.</font></p><p style="margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="Tahoma" size="2">For developers out there, look out for Google�s Android developer challenge.
