In Google crawler we believe.
Although we haven't seen many textual content in flash files but Google crawler will is able now to index your embedded textual content.

Official Google Blog - Google has been developing a new algorithm for indexing textual content in Flash files of all kinds, from Flash menus, buttons and banners, to self-contained Flash websites. Recently, we've improved the performance of this Flash indexing algorithm by integrating Adobe's Flash Player technology.

tsk tsk tsk, the silliest security breach at Apple.com
ArsTechnica - Marko Karppinen, CEO of the MK&C development house out of Helsinki, Finland, had his account password and login changed at the request of someone that wasn't him. What did it take to get around Apple's strenuous security protocols for this type of thing? This well-crafted letter:
"am forget my password of mac,did you give me password on new email marko.[redacted]@yahoo.com"
Of course, after that kind of sweet talk, the account info was handed right over, much to the chagrin of the actual Marko. With just this one slip-up, Apple compromised his e-mail, iDisk, .Mac syncs, credit card details, iTunes Store account, ADC Premier membership, and his iPhone Developer Program details. The Premier membership alone is worth around $3,000.
Would you get a Mac account now?

One month ago I wrote about Ubuntu Jordan LoCo Team covering some of our activities and plans for the future which includes establishing a National Open Source office in Jordan which I understand that is a shocking news because it was very unexpected even for the team working on it but on the other side I received some emails asking if we're going to regulate Open Source work in Jordan and if there will be any kind of taxes.
My answer is LoL.
I agree that our government did not leave anything without a tax tag but I guess that's acceptable considering that we do not have natural resources other than citizens pockets and by the way we do pay taxes less than any other country that we
Anyway, the National Open Source office is about encouraging and boosting Open Source development in the Kingdom starting from advocacy work, training courses ending with providing enterprise open source solutions.
Another phobia that many people live with is
Unfortunately we have people of that mentality that if you offer them for free because it's part of what you believe in or part of your day job they will start doubting if it's good or not and at later stage they will doubt if you can implement that service or not; because it was given for free or nominal fees.
For reason or another people don't believe that Jordanian can make a solution instead of using someone else solution and just implementing it although we are really capable in many fields but here is a funny thing, you could develop whatever you want and just tag it or give it a cool western name and people will fall in love with it and pay whatever you ORDER them to pay of course with your White Power tag only.

if it's free then it's not good. well, maybe this is not a phobia but a passion to pay for things that you don't really need, like a super market with Oracle solution and actually it's not even a super market in the proper definition of super market.

The long waited solution has just arrived, although they did not cover all of the Kingdom yet nor all of Amman but they are coming to your area soon.
If you live some where close to Jordan University street, Al-Gardens or Al-Rabyeh then you are one of the luckiest Jordanians as they have covered those areas and now working on covering Shmisani and later Wadi Saqra.
According to their customer care, if they got a deal with the NEPC to use their infrastructure they would be able to cover Amman within three months.
Although I feel so sad that they did not cover our neighborhood yet but I really feel so happy just for hearing the word Cable; combine it with Service provider, isn't it awesome?
Here is some details I got from the customer service, currently they are using local Internet provider but they are working to get their own line within a month and then they will be able to sell 10mb Internet, did you hear that? 10MB? GOD, I love JCS.
Another cool thing is that you will get a 70 TV channel with your cable connection, twenty out of them are subscribers only channels if you want to get them through satellite but with cable you will get them for free.
Did I mention the free telephony between JCS subscribers? or the 50MB Intranet between subscribers? another good thing about them is that they will not cap your Internet connectivity and they will never torture you by dropping your Internet speed into very unusable state because you decided to use what you have; of course they might change their mind just like what TeData did before.
I'm so excited about cable service and I really hope they wont turn to become a monster just like what others did.
