Imagining where to start from?Well, stereotypes aside, in a non-technical way I break it down for you; what some programming languages would be if they were men would perhaps give you a better comparison of programming languages: JavaScript He’s friendly enough, but he’s inconsistent.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 comes in two sizes – the 41mm option, and the 45mm option. Both watches come with GPS functionality, and rather than run on Google’s WearOS (being an Android Smartwatch), Samsung actually opted to install the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 with its own Tizen OS.

Back in the day, DSTV was the only digital Satellite TV provider and being a monopoly, they charged exorbitantly that only the affluent few could afford it. You had to buy a decoder, then a dish which you had to install and then pay monthly subscription in dollars. Then GTV came with a bang threatening to chew into DSTV’s monopoly. Unfortunately, the Global recession of 2009 saw them closing shop after they had gained quite a considerable share....

Founded in 1993, TTCL is a remnant of the East African Posts and Telecommunications Company.
