Fast Flip for Google News

Google on Monday released an experimental new content browser called Fast Flip that makes it possible to see a curated set of content sites using a physical "turn the pages" metaphor. Fast Flip pages are cached by Google and load very quickly, which is cool. And if your brain is stuck in 1969 and you want to pretend that new-fangled computer in front of you is a microfilm reader, it'll feel natural to use.

Fast Flip is a good solution for putting a magazine or newspaper online, and it makes scanning even a more modern Web feed really fast. But it still feels forced. It's an intermediate online format that gives you an experience that's even more linear than a print publication, and it provides less overall context than you can get from a moderately well-design Web site.

I believe it’s an amazing tool & I wish it will be adopted by our local newspapers soon.

That's our Hooker... Go go Jalajel

On Sep 11 2009 Published in The National, a new English newspaper launched by the Abu Dhabi Media Company.

Dubai Exiles enjoy their iftar feast with a deluge of points

DUBAI // The iftar enjoyed by Ghaith Jalajel, the Jordanian hooker, will have tasted even sweeter than usual yesterday evening.

The Dubai Exiles No 2 touched down in time just as his try all but sealed a 42-14 opening day Gulf Cup victory over Muscat.

Jalajel’s score, which put the Exiles 26-0 up, followed shortly after sunset and he celebrated by breaking his day-long fast with a well-earned banana. A dramatic storm just before kick-off did little to affect the preparedness of the winning team as strong winds blew down the fence that rings the neighbouring netball court at The Sevens, and there was even some unseasonal rainfall.

Jalajel’s front-row colleague Chris Deacon also went over for the victors and John Beeton dotted down in the corner.

The rest of the scoring was left to Paul Beard, the Arabian Gulf full-back, whose 27-point haul included two tries.
