Sarah Palin raised a few eyebrows within the John McCain campaign because she didn't realize that Africa is a continent, according to aides whispering to a shamelessly right-wing news outlet.

McCain aides told Fox News chief political correspondent Carl Cameron there was "great concern" within the campaign that Palin "lacked a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, and a heartbeat away from the presidency."

That technological change is transforming economic and social relations in Africa has become something of a cliche and is often presented as a panacea for Africa's ills. Mobile-phones and the internet are being used to coordinate agricultural prices, transfer money and coordinate famine relief. However, the political impact of new technologies has received less attention.

I'm stationed in Africa right now and my new laptop has vista on it.I can't get Messenger Live to allow me to hear my wife or allow my wife to hear me. I have both a builtin mic and an external plug in mic neither of which are working. Is it...

Hi all,
My flatmate is from Africa and has installed his copy of Vista with a language that no one else in the flat can understand. We now want to change the base language to English but it does not seem to be listed in the languages for 'local settings' etc. Can anyone guide me through how to get a language pack installed or some such to change it all to English? Thanks.
