A coworker informed me today that few days ago, the site of Skype (http://www.skype.com ) is no longer accessible from Jordan.

OK, I had it, I can’t stand this anymore, and I got to spill it out. I love my Macbook Pro, and I can’t imagine how I was computing before it. But, the level and quality of support an Apple user get in Jordan is basically, the worst anyone can get.
I bought my Makbook Pro […]

I know I haven’t written for a while, but I found a certain piece of news about a new blog for Ahmedi Nejad the Iranian president. It seems that the blog was announced in official news agencies. Now I must admit that the Iranian blog movement had always fascinated me. What amazes me is how […]
Google introduced the ability to translate from and to Arabic/English. I first heard about it last year, from my friend Basem, and it was until I saw it, and tested it, that I knew it is a good translation tool.
To test it, I used a text from BBC (Arabic and English News) about a recent […]
It seems that as Nader got cured from his Draft-but-not-publish syndrome, I caught it up. I discovered that my latest post was more than a month ago, and what’s worse, it was about IE7 :) Now, since then I wrote many drafts for posts, about several topics: Google Arabic translation, how excited I am about […]

More than a month ago, I got an email from an old friend, Robin Miller (Roblimo) of OSTG checking on me, and asking me if I might be interested in having an interview for one of my daily visits and favorites, Slashdot. Happily I agreed, and I was delighted and overwhelmed by the questions that […]
I am currently testing Google Pages which is yet a new beta service from Google.. What I saw is a Online Frontpage, with a publishing ability to your own space at http://googlepages.com.

As soon as I read the recent google post about their Local service, I rushed to try it. with so much ease, I found Amman fully covered in detail, while it did not before. Google had updated their Google Local service with the most recent images, and detail level, as the application Google Earth. Now […]
This piece of news made me really happy. Google Talk have “Open federation” now with the XMPP open standard. This means, that Gmail users will be able to talk to millions of people on Jabber servers all over the world.
