Marry me, sir! Women pop the Question

An appeal to Arab women to start popping the question, if it's true love, and sweeping their good men off their manly feet; Fairuz coming to a place near you before Christmas!; Ordinary lives under siege in pictures of Gazans; Homs- and a glimpse at a Syrian protest broken down into what, when, where how; Copycat crimes against Apple 'committed' by Samsung, documented.

'Reverse marriage proposal': It's still a practice less common than the 'norm' anywhere, but is certainly one practically unheard of in the Middle Eastern culture that remains traditional and protocol-observing when it comes to marriage and gender roles.

A Separate State of Mind [6]

Samsung Shamelessly Ripping Off Apple – Again

Do copycats have no limits? Opines, this individual state of mind! "Despite being sued by Apple almost everywhere and them resisting, Samsung have apparently not learned from their lawyers who couldn’t differentiate between an iPad and a Galaxy Tab. This time, for their MP3 player, they didn’t just copy the iPod Touch’s design.."
