One Day Without Internet Due to Internet Outage – A Girl’s Frustration in Egypt

Aditya — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 08:34:15 +0000

Here is the Frustration of an Egyptian Girl written in her blog after the mass internet outages in Egypt.

Almost a year ago Egypt lived a day without the internet for the first time in years…

Last Friday was the second time… except that 3 undersea cables were cut this time not only one, causing a countrywide massive Internet outage in Egypt and other Arab countries from Libya to Saudi Arabia…

When the internet outage occurred back in January, I remember I had this feeling of being digitally in darkness, feeling like I am being isolated from the world, although I wasn’t… and that day because the thoughts kept invading me on how much I have become accustomed to the internet usage in my life, I made a pledge to reduce my internet usage, and to start by reducing only one day, which supposedly was every Friday…

However, when this month’s outage occurred I realized that I completely failed to fulfill my promise to myself… I mean… I actually tried to do it for some time, and at times I extended it to be for a few days through never accessing the internet while on a real vacation trip (outside or inside Egypt)… and I kinda followed it at times, at first… but then… eventually I didn’t…

Smallest Notebook Computers

Radhika — Mon, 12 May 2008 03:45:25 +0000

Japan’s Fujitsu new Lifebook U laptop is the world’s tiniest. This 1.2 lb working miniature has an 800 Mhz processor, a 5.6″ LCD, and it runs Windows Vista. Like the Flybook, the Lifebook has a swiveling touch screen. There’s also a fingerprint sensor and wifi.

This OQO 02 weighs under a pound, can also run Vista, and has built-in broadband WWAN (via Sprint’s or Verizon’s EVDO services), Bluetooth, and a faster 1.5 Ghz processor with the screen size at around 5″.

The FlipStart is slightly heavier than the Fujitsu, weighing a pound and a half. It consists of 1.1 Ghz pentium M CPU, runs Vista, and has wifi, Bluetooth, and integrated EVDO. There’s a built-in camera for v-conferencing, and a little trackpad, just like on a full-size notebook. There’s also a jog dial and touch stick. It has the highest rated battery time of about three and a half hours.
