Write a letter or E-mail to your congressman and Obama? Call the state department and leave a voicemail that you want the US to support democratization (202) 647-4000
False dichotomy. If you support real democratic elections in Egypt, you may get short-term anti-American groups winning, but that will likely change over time. The US is seen as supporting the existing dictators, which is why you're seeing anyone against Mubarak as also unhappy with the US. If the people of the Arab world feel that America is not behind them—or worse, is actively trying to hinder their democratization—it’s all too easy to imagine them falling for more radical narratives. A democratic government is likely to become much more like Iraq's or Turkey's, where they have a good working relationship with the US.
Give me a break. What is so horrendous about Senegal? Tell me the Islam-related problems in Kosovo. Have you heard any news about any Al-Qaeda in Bangladesh? I'm not hearing any corruption in Malaysia, and the list of countries goes on and on...
Oh they're not worried about angry people. They're more worried about what you'll do. Friday is the weekend in Egypt and is supposed to be their big day of protests. They hope that by cutting off the internet, people won't be able to know where to meet up for the rallies and demonstrations, and people won't be able to share videos of the protests.
NOBODY has this mythical "right to exist." Do you think India accepts Pakistan's "right to exist?" No, they've tried laying down every UN obstruction they can think of. Gandhi famously said he accepts the reality that Pakistan exists, but would never say it had a right to.
Wrong, wrong, and wrong. How can you put so much incorrectness together?
First, Muhammad didn't conquer Jerusalem. He died in 632CE, and Jerusalem was conquered in 638CE. Second, there was no driving anyone out; in fact the new Muslim rulers let the Jews back into the city (the previous Christian ruler Heraclius had banned Jews).
The Rashidun caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab signed a treaty with Monophysite Christian Patriarch Sophronius, assuring him that Jerusalem's Christian holy places and population would be protected under Muslim rule. When led to pray at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the holiest site for Christians, the caliph Umar refused to pray in the church so that Muslims would not request converting the church to a mosque. He prayed outside the church, where the Mosque of Umar (Omar) stands to this day, opposite the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
As for Medina, no it was not a Jewish city, it was settled by Assyrians and Yemenis before the Jews first arrived in the 2nd Century CE. Second, Muhammad didn't "murder every Jew" like you claim. Many Jews in Medina believed he was the foretold Prophet in their scriptures and converted to Islam, the rest lived under religious freedom according to the Charter of Medina. There's an unsubstantiated story where a Jewish tribe known as the Banu Qurayzah turned on the Muslims, but a Jewish judge Sa'd ibn Mua'dh ordered their execution.
Lastly, I'm really tired of this false rumor that Muhammad was a child rapist. He was not a pedophile, 1400 years ago the standard was to marry shortly after puberty, women in the family suggested the marriage to him, the marriage was partly political like most marriages of royalty in Europe, they didn't consummate the marriage until she was older, and she was the same age as Mary in the Bible when she married Joseph.
Then you're not the target. Most of the world isn't geeks, so in 1999 when he showcased built-in WiFi in laptops, the audience gasped since they weren't as bleeding-edge as you.
There's no way they can do this without violating the Terms of Service. Facebook may post profiles to the public but they don't let you run a scraper on them without permission
Your answer is how they can charge him with lawbreaking. Treason is a very specific type of crime; committing an act that betrays your country. The Constitution has some very strict requirements as to who it can apply to.
More data is good, but more stuff to process the data in a meaningful way is almost a necessity. Sure I can look up the weather XML feeds but I'd really like an app to put it into graphics I can make better sense of.

They do as they normally do, go buy a boxed copy of iWork from the Apple Store, or go download TextWrangler or Delicious Library from the developers' websites.
I feel like once they did this for WikiLeaks, the floodgates opened and now Mastercard is going to be under pressure to cancel accounts left and right. Heck, why isn't Mastercard closing the accounts for the Ku Klux Klan? How come you can still donate using Mastercard?
Back in 2000, the magazine 2600 tried to register VerizonSucks.com and found that it was already registered to Verizon, along with 100 variations. So they registered VerizonReallySucks.com and were doing fine until Verizon sued them.
Leaking information on a private individual (which Assange has gone to lengths to generally avoid) is different than leaking information on a government or corporaton
Ah, so you block the New York Times and Washington Post for posting 'traitorous' documents, but are they still rebroadcasting 'patriotic' Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity in Iraq for the troops?
The military has a special TV and radio service called AFRTS that replays shows for troops overseas, but there's been accusations of bias for years (eg all conservative shows but no liberal ones)
Read the summary or article again, it is talking about switching from 3G to LTE (4G?), not from No Service to LTE. Typically it doesn't poll as often AFAIK.
Designers have to strike a balance; if it polls the towers too often and tries to connect via 4G, it would drain the battery and possibly slow down the connection. Switching from a 2G to 3G network on AT&T is similiar, although usually its about 30 seconds

The people are more progressive, but they're stuck under a dictator whom the US has supported

Once iPhone comes to Verizon (likely the announcement is Tuesday and release February), the iPhone will again rise to the top.
There's a ton of Open-Source app distribution systems aside from Apple's nice GUI one.
