Diery Ba, Directeur de l’exploitation de la Sénégalaise des eaux (Sde) a expliqué les raisons de la coloration de l’eau que déplorent certains quartiers de Dakar. Dans un entretien avec Vox Populi, il souligne qu’il s’agit d’une turbidité. « Notre surveillance ne nous a pas révélé de l’eau nauséabonde, mais plutôt de la turbidité et une coloration de l’eau », relève-t-il.
« La raison de cette coloration de l’eau réside dans le fait que l’eau distribuée à Dakar provient d’une part, du Lac de Guiers, et d’autre part des forages de Pout et Dakar. Or, ces forages contiennent une teneur en fer un peu élevée. De plus depuis mardi dernier, 6 février, les conduites venant du Lac de Guiers ont connu deux fuites, ce qui a réduit leur apport de près de 40%. Cette situation a créé des manques d’eau dans plusieurs quartiers de Dakar, mais elle a aussi augmenté la proportion d’eau ferrugineuse dans le réseau », souligne-t-il. Qui précise que le « fer en lui même n’est pas une substance nocive. Mais dans certaines conditions de circulation ou de stagnation de l’eau, il précipite et donne à l’eau, une couleur rougeâtre à rouge ».
Dans la foulée, le Directeur de l’exploitation de la Sde annonce un retour à la normale de la situation dans les prochaines heures. « Les travaux de réparation des conduites du Lac de Guiers étant terminés, le retour à la normale est d’ores et déjà enclenché depuis lundi12 février à 14 heures, aussi bien pour les manques d’eau que pour la coloration de l’eau », informe-t-il.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

This is getting a little bit added subjective, but I significantly desire the Zune Marketplace. The interface is vibrant, contains more flair, and some amazing attributes like ‘Mixview’ that permit yourself out of the blue perspective identical albums, tunes, or other end users similar towards what you’re listening to. Clicking on a person of individuals will middle on that product, and yet another mounted of “neighbors” will arrive into perspective, enabling oneself toward navigate in excess of researching by equivalent artists, songs, or users. Talking of users, the Zune “Social” is furthermore fantastic enjoyable, making it possible for your self identify other individuals with shared preferences and becoming mates with them. Your self then can pay attention toward a playlist designed centered on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening toward, which is much too interesting. These fearful with privateness will be relieved towards recognize on your own can prevent the community in opposition to observing your person listening behaviors if you consequently just take.
I will gear this examine in the direction of 2 layouts of human beings: present Zune owners who are considering an up grade, and humans attempting towards make a decision involving a Zune and an iPod. (There are other avid gamers great importance taking into consideration out there, such as the Sony Walkman X, yet I anticipate this delivers by yourself ample information and facts in the direction of produce an aware determination of the Zune vs gamers other than the iPod line as effectively.)

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

If you happen to be nonetheless on the fence: grab your favored earphones, intellect down in direction of a Most straightforward Order and talk to in the direction of plug them into a Zune then an iPod and view which a person sounds far better in the direction of oneself, and which interface generates by yourself smile added.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
