Is Egypt a good example for others to follow?
From the Blog Eddy Straight From The Heart: Is Egypt a good example for others to follow? - “I begin with the name of Allah, the most merciful”. Article first published as Is Egypt a Good Example For Others to Follow? on Technorati. The protests that started on January 25, 2011 in Egypt have opened a Pandora’s box leading to many debates and views about the repercussions for other under-developed countries in general and Muslim countries in particular. The question that begs an answer in this regard is whether the countries in question are as politically suffocated and dictated as Egypt has been since 1967.For example, the people in Pakistan: The media has been asking the question whether the people of Pakistan would take similar actions against the ongoing government that has failed to deliver. Similarly, the intellectuals in India are asking if the people will rise against corruption and inequality in the same fashion as Egypt.The answer to these questions is found in a comparison to the conditions in Egypt and these countries. Egypt has been under emergency since 1967 and under a single regime since 1981 . The state of human rights has been so deplorable that many activist societies the world over have criticized Egypt time and again. The political parties are non-existent and political process is paralyzed completely.Media is suffocated and strangled and has no say. The 30 years of hegemony and frustration has caused a revolution to boil out of Egypt. On the other hand, Pakistan and India have established political setups and political parties exist with full force and freedom of expression. Media in both countries are relatively free and have a keen view on the flow of events and shape of the society.With at least a couple of major institutions still active and independent in these countries, the condition is still not as bad as in Egypt. A revolt in these countries would mean a disruption detrimental to the benefit of the countries. It is therefore premature to expect people of these countries to follow Egyptian people.Egypt had a distinct problem and hence, a distinct reaction. To fantasize such a revolution and expect it to occur in other countries without considering their respective conditions and environments would be unjust and destructive. . Read Full Post

Maxthon 3 Review – Part 2
From the Blog ProPakistani: Maxthon 3 Review – Part 2 - Maxthon 3 Review – Part 2 is a post from: ProPakistani This is a Guest Post by Fawad Hassan, who is a professional web developer, intermediate designer, and amature photographer . He currently works as Software Engineer for Ufone. He runs a web development blog iFadey and also teach web technologies. Few months ago I wrote an article as a guest writer about Maxthon 3. I am writing another review because there are UI changes and many new features added in the latest release. I am not giving any introduction of Maxthon 3 here because it was already given in the previous article . Revised UI There are minor changes in the UI as shown below. The first thing you may have noticed is that the Page Menu is gone ( Button No. 7 in this image ). All the options under Page Menu are now moved to under Menu (blue button on top-right). Let's take a look at the new buttons added in the UI. 1) Feed Reader This button opens Maxthon's builtin feed reader. 2) Online Notepad It's actually cloud based notepad which save your notes on Maxthon servers which can be retrieved from any PC having Maxthon 3 installed in it. This is similar to Online Favorites. 3) Translator You can translate complete webpage or selected text directly from Maxthon. 4) Mute Sound You can mute sounds on the opened webpage using this button. Remember that all the buttons (Feed Reader, Online Notepad, Translator) on favorite bar can also be accessed from Menu > Tools. I always hide the favorites bar because I prefer to keep the UI simple and clean. Tip: You can show/hide favorites bar by pressing Ctrl + B. Private Browsing This mode allows you to browse the web privately without leaving the traces (cookies, history, and cache files) behind. It automatically clears all the traces when you close the browser running in Private Mode. To run the browser in Private Mode, click Menu > New Private Window. When browser is running in Private Mode, it shows a shield icon on User Profile button as shown below. Tip: You can clear the traces manually by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Del. Workspace Imagine you have two or more Gmail accounts and want to login all of them at a time using single browser. Maxthon made that possible for you by introducing a concept called Workspace. Open Maxthon 3 and login using your Gmail/Yahoo/Live account. Then click Menu > New Workspace Window and open gmail.com again. You will see a gmail login page instead of logging in automatically with currently signed in email id. Here you can signin using a different email id. Split Screen One of my favorite feature in new release is Split Screen. This mode divides the screen in two halfs and display two webpages at a time. This feature is very nice if you want to compare two web pages. Press F10 to activate/deactivate Split view or goto Menu > View > Split Screen. You can move tabs from one half to the other and also open new tabs. When you close the Split view, all tabs from the right half will automatically appear in left one. Online Notepad Online Notepad is a cloud based text editor in which you can save notes and access them from any PC having Maxthon 3. Remember that you need Maxthon Passport account to save notes online. Tip: Ctr + G is the shortcut key of Online Notepad. Feed Reader Maxthon now includes a built-in Feed Reader. You can access it from Menu > Tools > Feed Reader. Things may change or new features will be added in it because Feed Reader is currently in beta. More cool features will come in future releases of Maxthon 3. So your Maxthon 3 updated to enjoy these exciting new features Installing Maxthon 3 You can download latest release of Maxthon 3 from this link . The installer size is around 17 MB. Installation process is very quick and completed within few seconds.
