Exposing The Truth

GADDAFFI'S LAST FORMAL SPEECH: In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful... For 40 years, or was it longer, I can't remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union. I did all I could to help people Understand the concept of real democracy, where people's committees ran our country. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup. No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we've had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us. Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called "capitalism" ,but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer. So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters. I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it. Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stoop up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light. When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself... In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free. -- Mu'ummar Qaddafi.

Why no prices
by Frankline Chitwa 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Why can't a website like gadgetsguru just post prices on what they have? Do we have to go to them twice to know the price of anything? The only sense that comes out of this is, they have a different price for everyone, which is a bad thig for business. -- www.golavish.com - The travel and leisure

Looks like Nokia is saying: Game on!
by Kevin Omondi 27 Oct '11

Would you develop for a Windows Phone ? I think they may just be the lifeline for Windows Phone 7 Platform. Lets wait and see. * * A Preview of Nokia World for Developers<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbNDW6uC8qw> youtube.com <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbNDW6uC8qw> – Reggie Hutcherson oversees the developer engagement programs at Nokia for Windows Phone, and he recently sat down with us to provide his insights about. *Looks like Nokia is adapting to a smart phone world with organizational changes and want to focus on the developers as well.* Reggie Hutcherson, overseeing the developer engagement programs at Nokia for Windows Phone, explains what to come out of the next days. The website http://www.developer.nokia.com does not look very pretty or engaging, but that may change. For me Nokia ranks only mildly above my hated Samsung phone, but with a decent operating system this might actually be a good new player in the market, especially given all the consumers still out there who will want to play nicely with their PCs. Working synchronisation without depending on apple hardware alone, anyone? Nokia always were able to build solid phones, it just was the system which was not 'good enough' in terms of smart phone thinking and usually too late for the consumer. *Faster to the market thanks to organizational restructuring* Chris Layton over at the WSJ covered the angle of the restructuring of Nokia which also explains why the company was so quiet over the last months: *Ms. Harlow said the changes have encouraged her smartphone teams to make decisions themselves, instead of kicking them upstairs. Their greater autonomy, she said, has helped reduce the time it takes to develop new smarthphones by 35% to 40%.* *She declined to be more specific. But a company spokesman said that Nokia's lead time in the past matched the industry average of 18 months."It's very clear that if you are three months late, you've missed the market opportunity. So that is the issue we are addressing," said Ms. Harlow.* Read the rest: http://online.wsj.com/article_email/SB1000142405297020391180457665042268719… So while I still do not see a Nokia again in my future, I am curious what they will come out with and how Windows OS can play into that game. This time at least they are in time for the christmas business ;)

Nokia introduces Asha, a new line of ‘aspirational’ phones for emerging markets <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheNextWeb/~3/V0qd8wEIoko/> by Aayush Arya Nokia has just announced a new lineup of mobile phones at its Nokia World 2011 conference and it is calling them “Asha”. The lineup consists of four phones that will be taking their place between feature phones and smartphones and will be targeted at emerging economies. Nokia CEO Stephen Elop spoke about how the company wanted to target “the next billion” people with this new lineup of phones. “The next billion is a really young crowd in high-growth, emerging markets,” he said, “and they are savvy mobile users”. “Asha” means “hope” in Hindi and, according to Elop, and signifies the new abilities these phones will be bringing to people in the world’s developing countries. They’ll allow them to go online while on the go, which is still a luxury in many parts of the world, and remain connected with their family and friends via social networks—features that we take for granted in modern smartphones. [image: nokia asha1 520x291 Nokia introduces Asha, a new line of ‘aspirational’ phones for emerging markets]<http://thenextweb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2011/10/nokia-asha1.jpg> The four models are 200, 201, 300 and 303, all of which run the Series 40 6th Edition OS, come pre-loaded with Nokia Maps and are carved out of polycarbonate. The 300 and 303 are the big kahunas of the lineup and are outfitted with capacitive touchscreens, with the 303 also bundling in a QWERTY keypad, while the 300 makes do with a numeric one. Both phones are 3G-capable, powered by 1GHz processors and feature 5-megapixel shooters on the back. *The Nokia Asha 303* Popout *The Nokia Asha 300* Popout The lower-end 200 and 201 models are optimised for music playback, with a claimed battery life of 52 hours of continuous playback. They are also endowed with the ability to go up to 32GB of storage and pack in a powerful set of speakers for the aforementioned music enthusiasts. The only difference between the models is that the 200 is a dual-SIM phone while the 201 goes the more traditional route of sticking with a single SIM card. *The Nokia Asha 200* Popout *The Nokia Asha 201* Popout All four phones in the Asha lineup will include the Nokia Browser, which will do server-side compression of data before serving up webpages on these phones. Nokia claims that it is able to reduce up to 90% of the bandwidth usage for the customer, thus requiring them to pay less for data. Also, Angry Birds is headed to the Series 40 platform, just because you can never have enough Angry Birds! The Nokia Asha 303 will cost €115 and be launched before the end of 2011, along with the 300 at €85 and the 200 at €60. The Nokia Asha 201 will follow with a release date set to early next year at the same price as its almost identical sibling, the Asha 200.
