How Slow Internet in Lebanon Is
Jun 14th
This is how slow the internet in Lebanon is. We rank 165 in download speed and 175 in upload speed among 178 countries. Thanks to Lynn and Poupi for laughing with me about this today! It’s no laughing matter though; it’s pretty pathetic. Test conducted on http://www.speedtest.net. Click on the image to enlarge.
Attempted Gmail Hack
Jun 5th
I received an email this morning from “Gmail” account servicemails.account@gmail.com asking me to email them my Login ID, Password, Birthday, and Location. Hilarious. Who would fall for that trick? o_O
In case you would, be careful!
On a similar note, I receive an email or SMS message asking if I’ve requested a new password for my gmail account at least once every 3 months. Hacker, be you friend or stranger, if you get in, please do help out with the 1300 unread emails I’ve been meaning to find time to organize.
Facebook Announces Privacy Redesign
May 26th
Facebook just sent out this email to users who have advertised on it before. I wonder what they mean by vague terms they’ve used, but let’s wait and see. I’m happy at least they responded to the pressures.
Hi Nadine,Facebook will roll out changes today that will make it easier for our users to understand and control their privacy settings. As this change will have an impact on our users, we wanted to let you, a valued advertising partner, know about it. Please note that this change will not affect your advertising campaigns and there is no action required More >

We Can Do It! (Lebanese style)
Apr 17th
In the spirit of the Creative Commons Salon in Beirut that took place on Friday (and which I sadly missed), I’ve played around with Lara Zankoul‘s amazing photography (original photos here) and made it into a “We Can Do It!” poster.
Don’t you just love the expression on her face?
