Two great OS X apps : July 03, 2002 : Note 0

Two Mac OS X apps have been updated recently and sport revamped interfaces.  Both of them are beautiful examples of native OS X apps. The first is Proteus.  Proteus has recently been updated to version 1.6.  It is an instant messaging app that…

Arab Human Development Report 2002 : July 03, 2002 : Note 0

The Arab Human Development Report 2002 was commissioned by the UN and put together by Arab intellectuals.  In it, the Arab countries are criticized for oppression of women, per-capita income is down to new lows, low productivity and very little research and development.  It’s great to see that…

Maypop : July 02, 2002 : Note 1

This article by former Libyan prime minister Abd Al-Hamid Al-Bakkoush looked to be promising in terms of a level-headed Arab crying out for great reforms in the Arab world.  Even though he is arguing for good changes in the Arab world, his ultimate goal in bringing about these changes is…

No interest for US Muslims : July 01, 2002 : Note 0

It seems that banks are bending over backwards for minorities (including US Muslims) by offering no-interest loans and credit cards.  They offer these because interest goes against Muslim shari’ah law.  So… they don’t want to push away Muslims because of their religious beliefs, but don’t give a #$%& when they…
