The company is being sued for $15bn – almost as much as the $16bn raised in its record breaking initial public offering – for tracking users against their wishes, even after they have logged out of their Facebook accounts.

Les Réformistes du Liban

Those people has names, their faces are well recognized, the Lebanese Army should simply kill them, not because we love killing people, but simply because those animals are contributing in killing a whole country and destroying a whole nation.

The Lebanese Army regardless what the politicians says (who are normally Assholes) should simply follow those guys kill them to keep us (The people who want to live peacefully) safe and provide us stability to work, produce and care for who we love !

Thanks for the Lebanese Army in case they will do what I asked for …

The news sent the euro lower against the dollar, fanning concerns among investors and in Greece that the country may have to leave the euro zone.

The development highlights the weak state of the banking sector in Greece, where Greeks are pulling euros out of the banks in fear that their country may exit the European single currency despite the declared determination of EU powers Germany and France to keep Athens in the monetary union.

“As recapitalization wasn’t in place, the ECB stopped monetary policy operations,” a euro zone central bank source told Reuters, declining to be identified. “They are now in the ELA of the Greek central bank.”

Why the Greek people knowing that they are in a huge financial mess, refuse the Austerity measures ?  

How i wish hearing such a speech from any looser here in Lebanon, how nice is to hear that once of all these Lebanese losers become a man and say it clearly I’m OUT ! I really hope one day we Lebanese can hear a Lebanese politician admitting that he lost in a democratic elections and leave away !

Hollande was set to beat conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy by a decisive 51.9 percent to 48.1 percent margin, the TNS-Sofres polling agency said in a projection based on a partial vote count.

The president conceded defeat within 20 minutes of the last polls closing at 8 p.m. (1800 GMT), telling supporters he had telephoned Hollande to wish him good luck.

“I bear the full responsibility for this defeat,” he said.

Samsung Galaxy SIII , Designed for Humans

Replacing GDocs is a clever idea. The projects are compatible and your cloud-based documents can be browsed from your desktop — an attractive feature for those migrating from Microsoft Office. It’s also apparent Google has learned lessons from doomed projects such as Wave; it’s easier to piggy-back on the success of an existing project than build a new user base from scratch. GDoc’s 40 million users have little reason not to adopt Google Drive.

The South Korean group’s handset division shifted more than 20,000 Galaxy phones an hour in the quarter and contributed most of its operating profit.

That company’s shares hit a lifetime high after the results, pushing its market value to $190 billion, 11 times that of Japanese rival Sony, though still only a third of Apple’s, the world’s most valuable company.

It is not only a question of a phone, it is a while perception that Samsung could create in the consumers mind, many models, a diversity of sizes, while having the Galaxy S2 , Samsung could also provide other kind or Smart phone , at low prices where users can benefit of an Android Mobile, download apps, as if they are having the S2 or Note!

I think it was the best business model to be able to hit Nokia as well as keep Apple on the second place ! 

Waiting to see what Google is planning for MOTOROLLA! 

In September 2010, Jason Becker and Brandon Sokol co-founded Remember.com, a site they describe as a Wikipedia for memories.

“What sets Remember.com apart is that it’s not just social networking,” said Becker. “It’s social collaboration.”

The website is a digital media platform made up of crowd-sourced memories. Anyone with an account can write, record and post their first-person experiences related to a person, place or topic.

The site organizes these under searchable categories in a layout inspired by newspapers and Pinterest.

I liked the idea and i feel it is quite interesting to find a solution that manage our memories where we can share them with the whoever we want to feel some nostalgia with them …

I think it is nice, so what do you think ?

We still hear official authorities denying any responsibility and we are still experiencing the normal official behavior with the collaboration of the Lebanese media which consist on letting time pass and never mention the issue again so that the people forget the case!

Talking about politics about the bullshit related to the 11 Billion USD and the bullshit related to the 6 other Billion USD, in addition to what is happening in Syria, Iran, Iraq, and even in Fiji, is considered more important for our media than doing everything possible to force the officials lead an accountability act towards the responsible for what happened!

As for us in choura2yak.com we hope we will find who would stand with us and share with us a public campaign to force all responsible parties to pay for what they caused the Lebanese population by this huge national crime!

While Francois Holland the socialist, who wants to apply socialism in France, who want to move more into acquiring immigrants, who wants to let foreigners who live in France Vote in the local elections, who want to decrease the retirement age from 62 to 60 , got the majority of votes in the first round, we see the extreme right ‘Marine Le Pen’ who normally is against immigration , who is more fundamentalist towards Europe and who want to get back to the national France with it’s closed borders got the 3rd majority in a all time record high for the ‘Front National’.

I don’t have much information neither advanced knowledge in the local political French game, but I can smell a huge difference in the socio-economic and political orientation in the French society which is similar to what we have here, the only difference is that in France they act as humans and they react as intellectual people with full respect and tolerance, here (IN LEBANON) we are nothing but Monsters caring to eat each other simply because we are NON HUMAN!

Till we become humans, we will remain assholes !

Barcelona has the Champions League competition to get out from this season with at least one title.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon made a call to double global consumption of renewable energy over the next two decades in order to ensure sustainable economic development.

Can anyone explain to me where are the programs and plans set by our Lebanese government to encourage investment in renewable energy industries?

Can anyone tell me whom of those MPs, who spent hours of talking and shouting and attacking in others, proposed or even mentioned anything related to a future plan related to renewable energy in Lebanon?

Can anyone tell me where are the official programs to build the proper infrastructure in Lebanon so that we can import Green Cars mainly electric?

None of the official authorities care on anything futuristic they all react and never act and this is the huge dilemma that is letting our country and society move backward in terms of development and improvement!

Bakeries owners, part of the Capitalists group in Lebanon, agreed with the Lebanese minister of economy (who is also an industrial capitalist) to increase the price of bread in a way that fit their benefits.

Lebanese sheep (citizens) will for sure accept everything, shut their mouth, go to all bakeries buy bread with the new pricing, call some radio stations (who’s owners are capitalist) nag a little bit, say that this is unacceptable waste money on the phone call, the radio station will fill their air with those nags and then …. NOTHING WILL CHANGE!!! Sheep will remain sheep, capitalist will keep on making huge profits!!

Public transportation unions postponed for a week a nationwide strike planned for Thursday after “positive” talks with Prime Minister Najib Mikati, but the General Labor Confederation said it would hold a general strike on May 3. The transport unions met with Mikati Tuesday evening.

Lebanon’s Union of Bakeries announced Monday it would hold an open-ended strike from Thursday until the government compensates them for the increased cost of raw materials used in bread production.

Strike … NO Strike, this is the usual story in our country, they announce a strike then after meeting with the official authorities they cancel it, while nothing change and the people get nothing in return, only the leaders of the unions gets some privileges to assure their hidden monopoly on the economic sectors in question.

 This is what used to happen and what is still happening and will keep on happening in the future due to the lack to social mobilization that would really act in a way to get what we (THE PEOPLE 95 % of the population) should get!

The site of the ministry, which is supposed to be a help portal for all the citizens where they can use it to get information as well as post claims and follow up the status of their tickets, in addition to be able to check their bills and their consumptions and why not to be able to pay online, is now with our great minister, who broke all records in number of press conferences, a new medium to spread his thoughts on hourly basis !

The electricity problems will be solved in Lebanon ….. who can guess when ??

Several ministry websites – those of Foreign Affairs, Justice and Energy – are still inaccessible and viewers trying to open the sites are greeted by a message addressed to the government from “Raise Your Voice,” which calls for a popular movement by people to demand their rights.

“We are RYV, short for Raise Your Voice, and we are simply a group of people who could not bear sitting in silence, watching all the crimes and injustice going on in Lebanon. We will not be silenced and brainwashed by your media. We will not stop until the Lebanese people mobilize, demand their rights, and earn them,” part of the message said.

The websites of State Security, ISF, Customs and the Banking Control Commission of Lebanon were also hacked.

“We will not stop until the standards of living are raised to where they should be in Lebanon. We will not stop until this government’s self-made problems are solved, like the power shortage, water shortage, rise in gas prices and rise in food product prices. We are RYV, expect us to break the silence, whether in the streets or on the Internet. Silence is a crime,” the message ends.

The country’s National News Agency was also among state-related websites targeted in the hacking. Visitors to the site are met by a blank screen.

Government websites were not alone in being targeted.

The website of the National News Agency was hacked overnight, as was that of MTV television station. The MTV website remains closed but technicians at the television station have removed the message by “Raise Your Voice.”
