Mahmood: “If you, your daughter, son, wife, husband doesn’t want the Bluetooth feature, why not just switch that feature off?”

Unfortunately, Mansur is to quit blogging. Bad news.

Choire Sicha leaves Gawker.

Nahid Ba-Shatah thinks that no one in this country respects female journalists. Well, I do.

Crossroads Arabia thinks what happened in Kuwait is putting pressure on Saudi Arabia. Well, after what happened in the last stage of the municipal elections, and what happened to the three reformists, I have to say that I’m skeptical. And even when Abdul-Wahed al-Humaid says: “Naturally, Saudi women will gain their political rights.” I’m still skeptical.

How could they arrest Amr this way? This is unacceptable.

I love Rojo. It is much cooler than Bloglines, and much better than Kinja. Now, if they just could show the number of unread posts the way Bloglines do. It would be perfect. BTW, I read somewhere that Gawker is planning to relaunch Kinja later this year. More competition means better products. Let’s wait and see. UPDATE: Rojo does show the number of unread feeds. Good.
