Robert Fisk; The Great War For Civilization Speaking on his new book, The Great War For Civilization; The Conquest of the Middle East at King Middle School, Berkeley. Nov 19 2005.

Robert Fisk yet again speaks the truth. – ICH -

What got slashdotted recently? “Dell Finally Goes for AMD…” While “Remarked Celerons Sold As P4s…” Macworld reports that iPod is competing with Barbie’s for the top 10 girls toys.. What is going on in the world?! I am never usually ‘against’ the advance in technology, in fact I am not against it but I am slightly weary that things generated by the advance in technology such as computers, multimedia, TV and electronic entertainment are possibly taking too much of a role in peoples lives. I know that many children (and adults) spend a lot more...

AnandTech have a great 11 page article detailing with images the Xbox 360, with a good explanation of each detail here.

US forces ‘used chemical weapons’ during assault on city of Fallujah The attacks on Fallujah, the small town near the city of Baghdad, were the headlines of this time last year’s news. Now it has hit again with even more claims of total disregard to the UN convention. UNN wrote about the Fallujah Napalm case last November. Thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives to the stupidity of this war, I think its time the world spoke out. “Bodies melted away before us.” Powerful new evidence emerged yesterday that the United States dropped massive quantities of white phosphorus...

Ever since the first details of the Xbox 360 hit the web, gamers have drawn comparisons to Sega’s ill-fated (yet still highly regarded) Dreamcast console. There are the obvious examples – the timing of the launches or the color of the hardware – but then there are a lot of not so obvious ones, too.Read the Dreamcast-xbox360 comparison article at 1Up.com And I must say, there are A LOT of similarities. It’s actually quite frightening to see how much the Xbox 360 and Sega Dreamcast look alike, even the logo is practically the same! But not to worry, after going through the...

I’m 16 Today! Okay thats probably the first time I’ve revealed my age on my website so bah, you can abuse it as much as you want I don’t really celebrate Birthdays but AlhamdullilahAll Praise is due to Allah (God). I thank God for blessing me with 16 years of healthy life. Today is also the last day of Ramadan! I can’t believe how fast a month can pass. I can easily remember typing the article saying ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ and now I am saying ‘Eid Mubarak!’. Eid is the Islamic festival which takes place at the end of Ramadan. It may come as a surprise...
