Google, THE monopole

The main goal of Google is to hold the maximum of viewed adverts on the net, and gain huge amount of money. Till now, ads are only shown as small links with some text. And the context intelligently matches user interests.

But, will google in the future, only rely on such type of incoming ?
My answer is simply : NO !

First step after acquiring Youtube is to play video ads before launching mostly viewed sequences, also put some intelligent context matching text ads somewhere. There is dailymotion and he already doing that.

But if we rethink another service that only google holds its sources, the GoogleStreetView !
Google Street View is a very helpful service provided by Google for free and for everybody.
Google can simply use some algorithms to detect the ad places in a street view, the orientation the deformation, and replace these zones with Google related stuff.

Goole StreetView, the next...

As explained in the photo, it won't be a difficult thing to be coded by the Mountain View team, and it will be a "Google only" stuff difficult to be reproduced in resonable time by other competitors. And of course, it will be a colossal source of money.

I really wish you "Don't be evil" Google !

Interview with Sameh A. Habeeb–Gaza-based Independent Journalist By Zahra Hankir
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

January 5, 2009

Twenty-three-year-old Sameh A. Habeeb, a photojournalist based in Gaza City, hardly sleeps. The sounds of the bombings keep him awake.

Habeeb seldom leaves his home for fear of being killed by sporadic bombing, but he has slipped out several times to take pictures and to obtain chilling first hand accounts of daily life ever since the Israeli attacks on Gaza began on Saturday December 27.

During the days, his main priority is to find a place with electricity so he can charge his laptop and connect to the Internet. His goal is to get the word out about what is happening on the ground in Gaza. He works primarily from his phone, calling up a number of sources, from doctors to media contacts to human rights workers.

Habeeb is one of few local journalists in besieged Gaza who are attempting to reach out to international media outlets by way of the Internet and the phone. “I’m not sleeping so you are welcome to call me on this number in the night,” says one of his blog notes.

Aware that mainstream media have fallen short of reporting on the crisis, in part because international reporters have been banned from entering Gaza but also due to political biases, he has been issuing daily reports of the situation. The reports can be found on his blog, on his Facebook account and on arabisto.com. http://www.gazatoday.blogspot.com/

Habeeb was born and raised in Gaza, and has worked in civil society for many years. He has also worked as a journalist at the Ramattan News Agency, a regional media facility based in Gaza. He has offered his journalistic work to various organizations worldwide for free.

The young journalist is currently confined to his home with his three sisters, his two brothers, his parents and his grandmother with barely any food.

During the interview below with the Indypendent, Habeeb speaks from his phone over the sound of persistent bombing that he has grown used to. “Can you hear that one?” he says. Boom. Boom. “That was an F-16 [bomb]. I know how an F-16 sounds. I can distinguish what types of bombs they are.”

His voice trembles a little, but he goes on speaking, even after being asked if he would like a moment to collect himself. “You know that I can speak and that I will speak at whatever hour and in whatever situation,” he says, resolutely.

It is almost 1 a.m. in occupied Palestine.

Zahra Hankir: What is the current humanitarian situation on the ground in Gaza?

Sameh A. Habeeb: If we counted the things that are missing and that we need, we would not finish [this interview]. There is no bread. There is no sugar. There is no gas. There is no fuel. There is no electricity and there is no wood. There is no cement. Everything you can imagine, we do not have. And this was a problem that started with the blockade and that has accentuated since the attacks began. It was preplanned. It is not only a matter of a rocket being fired here and there. It is a strategy that Israel has followed.

As for daily life, and the humanitarian situation, Israel is telling the world that they are not allowing a humanitarian crisis [to unfold] in Gaza. [Israeli foreign minister] Tzipi Livni is a big fool, because she is trying to convince the international community and those working on the Palestinian cause that Israel is helping with the humanitarian situation. But on the ground, she is allowing a big catastrophe to continue. Gaza was in need before the siege. During the siege, Israel was allowing some 40 trucks carrying basic commodities (cans, goods, etc) in. Now, at the time while the war is taking place, they say they are allowing commodities to move in, but they are allowing nothing in! Thirteen trucks with commodities are not enough for a population of a million and a half. They say they opened the crossing, and that everything is okay, but this is a big lie.

Some houses do not have water, as power is needed. Israel has targeted many wells of water in the middle of the Gaza strip, and a well that was in the north. Add to that the coastal authorities were saying that Israel was not allowing them to bring materials to purify water…

Tomorrow, I will be visiting one of the doctors at al-Shifa hospital to investigate the types of weapons that are being used.

As for the medical situation, since the beginning of the siege, around 270 people died because they were not able to leave Gaza for treatment, or were not able to get medicine during the blockade. Medical machines and equipment were also not available, as well as spare parts. Today, there is a very big problem in hospitals because of this. Hospital management has called medical students in their senior, second or third level to help at the hospitals.

ZH: What has been the general attitude of Palestinians in Gaza towards Hamas?

SAH: The main concern for the Palestinian people now is how to find food, how to light candles, how to keep warm. They do not think much about politics. Generally, support for Hamas is still there, and the decisive battle would be proving whether Hamas will have support or not as it still did not [attack] “hot” areas.

ZH: What is your current living situation?

SAH: I live in Gaza City, two kilometers from the Israeli borders. Since the beginning of the blockade, which was imposed 20 months ago, and since the beginning of the war, my life has been turned upside down. There is no gas. No power. No Internet. I charge my laptop by going here and there to get Internet, but generally, there is no fuel, no gasoline, and no oil. In the humanitarian aspect, we do not have anything now. Today I wanted to go to the market to bring home some food. Thank God, I did not go; there was a massacre from artillery shells. Israelis hit the market — the busiest market in Gaza.

Imagine a life with no Internet. No power. No food. Confined to your house with no work. I spend a lot of time on my bed covering myself with blankets because it is so cold. There is no heating. I think. I think. I think.

ZH: How have you managed to carry on work as a journalist, balancing demands of the job while keeping yourself and your family safe?

SAH: It is too hazardous to go out whenever I want to. I sometimes go out to take photos, but I’m generally scared to go out because they [the Israelis] restrict all kinds of journalism.

As for the things I do, I have my laptop that I charge from time to time. I visit friends who have power in other areas. I sometimes go some kilometers away to get power.

I charge the laptop and then I call friends to get their news. I have sources in various areas. I call doctors to learn of what is happening in the hospitals. I listen to the radio stations. I have an amalgam of sources, really. And I make sure to write and report them at the end of the day. I have my own sources, as I previously worked in journalism for one year, and have sources in the humanitarian field and in the media world, especially with Ramattan.

ZH: How has the Israeli military treated journalists?

SAH: Since November 1, 2008, Israel was not allowing journalists to go into Gaza, or any international organization officers. It was totally closed, and this is part of the Israeli media blackout. We have a huge media blackout in our work, in addition to conditions of panic and fear. We don’t have the freedom to report and write. We are not being accessed by many international media outlets. People have tried to call many times but have not been getting through; this shows that Israel has destroyed part of the telecommunication for mobiles. Only landlines are working. Besides, we don’t have access to Internet, which is crucial.

ZH: Do you feel that there is a lot of pressure on local journalists to get the truth out?

SAH: I feel that my country needs national human resources. I don’t depend on other media sources, I have my own way. Yes, it’s almost like a burden to report in such harsh conditions. But I still do it. I report for the people.

ZH: How do the Palestinians perceive the response of the Arab states?

SAH: Perceptions are generally still the same. We’re not too aware of what is happening around us [in the Arab world]. But Palestinians do not depend on outside powers. Some here do feel that the Arabs played a part in besieging Gaza, specifically Egypt, and the issue of the tunnels and the Rafah Crossing, which is still closed and [Mubarak] is not opening it. Also, there are other Arab regimes that are not helping the Palestinians and are not working enough. It is clear that the Palestinians were frustrated with Arab countries, particularly at the beginning of this war, when they [the Arab nations] could not even agree or set a time for when to hold an emergency Arab summit.

ZH: How have things changed since the ground operation began?

SAH: Before now, we thought that military operation would end by Sunday. Now it is harder for us to adapt to the new reality [the ground invasion]. We are confined to our houses, are not able to go to the market to bring supplies, we have no access to banks. All our assets are being paralyzed by this situation.

ZH: Would you say Israel is targeting Hamas areas specifically?

SAH: No. Hamas militants are still firing rockets! That is still going on. The number of those innocent civilians who have died debunks arguments that the Israeli army is not allowing civilians to be casualties in the Gaza strip. We can tell what type of rockets they are using, and prohibited weapons. There are cluster bombs. The artillery shells were exploding before reaching the ground.

ZH: What media are you following, if any?

SAH: While we had power, I was following CNN, but I knew that it is not so neutral. As for now, we only have local radio stations.

ZH: Would you say that this is genocide?

SAH: Yes. The big number of victims indicates that this is genocide. Israel says it is attacking Hamas, but on the ground, we are seeing that most of those killed are civilians. The world has to realize and has to know that Israel is not doing as it says — fighting Hamas and terror — and that this is part of the media blackout of Israel. As the days pass, the crisis will become much worse. More people will have less access to basic needs.

En soutien à la résistance du Peuple Palestinien Contre les massacres à Gaza

RASSEMBLEMENT A PARIS 17H00 Place de l'Opéra

ISRAEL BOMBARDE LA BANDE DE GAZA : PLUS DE 145 MORTS DEJA....

Plus de 145 morts !

Contrairement à la présentation des medias dominants, l'attaque israélienne n'est pas une riposte aux tirs de roquettes depuis la bande de Gaza ! ça c'est le "cadre" matraqué et imposé par la com. gouvernementale israélienne qui a pour but d'inverser les rôles, de pervertir la réalité en faisant passer l'agresseur pour la victime. Quand Israêl bombarde la bande de Gaza ce n'est pas de l'auto-défense ou de la légitime défense, pas plus que ne l'était l'attaque du Liban en juillet 2006 par les mêmes israéliens, pas plus que ne l'était l'invasion de l'Irak par les USA en mars 2003.

Ce bombardement de Gaza, qui survient après un blocus partiel israélien depuis juillet 2007 et un blocus total de la bande d Gaza depuis janvier 2008, n'est que le Xème bombardement israélien destiné à massacrer des palestiniens, à détruire maisons, hôpitaux, écoles etc. en vue de contraindre les palestiniens de la bande de Gaza à fuir, abandonner leurs terres. Ce bombardement de Gaza est la continuation du Mur de l'apartheid en Cisjordanie, des exécutions extra-judiciaires, c'est la continuation des crimes de guerre de Jenine, Naplouse en 2002. C'est la continuation d'une politique d'apartheid, de nettoyage ethnique et de massacres à laquelle nous disons : Ca SUFFIT !!

Ce bombardement de Gaza survient après la décision du conseil des ministre européens qui a décidé le "rehaussement" des accords d'association avec Israël alors même que le vote des députés du parlement avait reporté ce vote ! Il est aujourd'hui de la responsabilité de tous - et en premier lieu des partis politiques- de dénoncer ces crimes.

Face à l'injustice le silence est criminel

17h, Place de l'Opéra.

refugiée ou?
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

reugee?
Translated into English by: sami
plusieurs raisons m'ont amenees a adherter a TIG. L'une de ces raisons:

chaque chose dans la vie possede des doubles faces

l'esprit philantrope et benevole peut aussi etre exploité pour des manipulations et des violations par exces de zele...( cela veut dire que des gens sensés aider refusent ou participent a des violations ...)

Je m'y connais et pour mon cas les manipulations atteignent le stade de comédies odieuses sous couvert de failles juridiques...

de cela pas question de parler a ce stade..

pourtant je vais montrer ici un exemple qui s'apparente (quoique de loin et ayant lieu sur net) a cela:
une demande d'argent d'une pretendue refugiee
(( ce cas qui n'est pas spécifique de ce que je veux exposer peut cepevdant contribuer a montrer le cot" dont je veux parler. car si une personne s'engage a suivre mes tentatives de gerer et informerelle verra l'indifférence des structures himanitaires en place et moi meme j'ai plusieurs fois constaté meme l'implication de gens du milieu dans ce genre de delits et violations...))

L'histoire:
1*un message d'une fille sur un site connu(tagged.com)


Message:

I am waiting to hear from you.(Believing that age,distance or colour will not be a barrier to love),take care. Yours inlove, Josebeth. nicejosy23@yahoo.com

REMARQUE: la phrase entre parentheses dans le message .(Believing that age,distance or colour will not be a barrier to love) je l'ai trouvée aussi dans un message similaire d'une senegalaise sur webdate.com en 7/2008!!!!!

2*Je reponds par tagged.com ( ( lui disant: lovely face, i love you ...etc donnant mon adresse hotmail ...)) alors elle reponds sur hotmail :

Dearest

How are you this morning and your environment.Hope all is well with you?
Mine is a little bit hot over here in Dakar, Senegal.In this camp we are only
allowed to go out only on mondays and fridays of the week,it's just like one
staying in the prison and I hope by Gods grace I will come out here soon.
I don't have any brother,sister or relatives now whom I can go to,all
my relatives ran away in the middle of the war,the only person I have now is Rev
Emmanuel Anthony who is the pastor of the (Christ The king Church) here in the
camp he has been very nice to me since I came here. I am living in the
women's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for
women.

The Pastors Tel number: 00221-7773-12561 if you call and tell him that you
want to speak with me he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here I
don't have any right or privilledge to any thing be it money or whatever
because it is against the law of this country.I want to go back to my studies
because I only attended my first year before the traggic incident that lead to
my being in this situation now too place.
Please listen to this,I do have my late father's statement of account
and death certificate here with me which I will send to you later,because when
he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in europe which
he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is eight Million six
Hundred Thousand Dollars($8.6M).

So I will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from
it you send to me some money for me to get my traveling documents and air ticket
to come over to meet with you.I kept this secret to people in the camp here the
only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to
me. So in the light of above,I will like you to keep it to yourself and
don't tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money if
people gets to know about it.

Remember I am giving you all this information due to the trust created by
your gentle and loving responds from thruogh your reply.I like honest and
understanding people,truthful and a man of vision,truth and hardworking. My
favorite language is English but very fluently.Please do call me thruogh the
pastor to confirm my faith in you as a loving person and we will talk more.

Forget not to send your pictures to me ok.Have a nice day and please think
about me cos I longing to hear from you soonest.

With love,
Josebeth.
