  • Mass media sins

    There is more money to be made selling lies than selling truth. As a person who has worked in the media since 1999, and created Egypt’s largest portal at the time, I can tell you honest media outlets find a tough time selling ads. Not a single human on earth is without bias, but a…

  • My alternative view on the Egyptian Inar Tablet.

I think that this will not be a new note but most probably a lower budget large screen phone that will take large screens…

    Office for windows RT: Is it really office.

    Windows RT is Microsoft’s stab at gaining market share from Apple’s Ipad but as with Microsoft always they miss a chance. The real power of Microsoft is with office, and once again they screw it up. See a tablet that can run a full version of office could rule all other tablets. And Microsoft say…
