The Women Revolution In Saudi Arabia !

Today, when I was checking my Facebook, I saw some of my friend posting link for some women who want to drive a car in Saudi Arabia. in fact that, the CNN Internationale were talking about them and show the same video. As I have heard from the video, they want to drive because they do not want to be depended on other people to serve their need.  Also, they do not want to pay for driver. in fact that, they afraid to be with the driver alone. moreover, some families can not pay to the driver salary and the car also in the same time. Now, the Women have one demand and the reasons for why they must drive. what I want to say that the women are going to drive sooner or latter, but not like that, women go to YouTube or Facebook and say they wanna drive . It is not a joke but it is a thing that will change the culture and society as well in  Saudi Arabia. So, the government should face the fact that the women will drive. So, the government  has to make a project which is in 2020 the women will drive and do it step by step.
The first thing the government must do is making men feel that there are  a relationship between the man and the women and not just sexually thing. Also, the man has to understand that the women is a productive factor for developing the country and not just women who take care for the children and the home. To make this happened, we should not separate between the student in the university in part that respect our religion and our culture . For example,  the man may set in the first of the class  and the women in the last. I know someone would say they would be   فتنه, but I think the man or women who raise good and afraid from gad, they would not do that and they will respect each other. However, the women now is working with the men in some company and the hospital. In fact that, I studied with Saudi women here in the USA and everything is going well. We respect each other and we have a boundary .
Second one the government should expand the road infstractuer becasue now the people are facing alot of troubles and you can imagine that if the men and the women drive in the same time. We may be like china or Egypt.
Third one is the government should hold for hand of  power if anyone thinks to assault or abuse either way talking or physical thing forward the women and the same thing for the women. So, they would think Million time If they think to do something.
Fourth one, Do the project step by step. For Example, they may try it in the south first and they see if it is gonna work or not. also, they have to determine the age. for example the women who is married can drive unitl specife time in the day for example from 6AM to 9PM.

The women are going to drive and the government should face the fact and they have to find away to adjust the society to this change and  I provide some of idea that maybe help.

Iphone4 from Apple Company Advantages and Disadvantages

Apple Company is a multinational American Company. They are focusing on design and produce electronics device and software. The company was founded in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976. It sells and develops products such as “personal computers, portable media players, mobile phones, computer software, and computer hardware and hardware accessories.” They have 200 retail stores in 5 countries in the world for selling their products. Beside this, they have online stores that they can also sell their products. The company has 20,000 full and part time employees in the entire world. At the end of September of 2007 the company had earned 24.01billion for selling their products in the USA only (Administrator, 2008).
   The Apple Company has Innovation something calls Iphone. Steve Job said of the Apple Company “We all had cell phones. They were so awful to use. The software was terrible. The hardware wasn't very good. We talked to our friends, and they all hated their cell phones too” (Morris & Levinstein, 2008). Therefore, they have created the Iphone in a different way. Steve Jobs who works at Apple Company made an announcement in Macworld conference & expo in January 2007 about their idea of the Iphone as a new smart phone from Apple. The Iphone was available to the customers on June 29, 2007. The first version of the Iphone came with 4G and 8G hard drive. The price was 499$. Moreover, if someone wants to have one, they have to sign a contract with AT&T for 2 years (Administrator, 2008). They were successful and they earned an estimated $1.7 million for selling the Iphone in the USA only (Karif & Burrows, 2008). The engineering department of the Apple Company developed the Iphone and the last product is Iphone4. The device comes in two colors; white and black. Moreover, it is a monopoly by the AT&T Company for 2 years contract. Also, it comes with 8G or 16G hard drive. In fact, The Iphone from Apple Company is considered the best Smartphone in the world, so what, in fact, are the advantages and disadvantages of the Iphone4?
An Iphone camera of the Iphone4 has many features. It comes with 5 megapixels and with 5 digital zooms. Also, it has WOR with it which the costumers can combine three pictures in one big picture. In fact, those pictures are saved as individual or as a big picture in the memory of the device. Furthermore, the camera has something calls LED flash which can help produce clearly pictures in the night for the people who like to take pictures on night. Moreover, it has a sensor which works automatically when the location shooting is getting dark. Besides these elements, the camera of the Iphone4 has another camera on the front with VGA quality and it is easy to use. The customers have to go to the top of the screen and push the button to open the front camera (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). Also, this camera allows the customers to have video calls with other customers who have an Iphone4 or other devices. There are two ways to make a video call. The customers can go to the contact option and choose “top face time” for the one who wants to talk with. The second way is if the customers want to make the video call during the call; one of the users has to push the same button that they will see in this situation on the front screen. Then, the customers have to click this button and another one will make a beep or request and they accept the request if they want to make the video call. This option works just with the Iphone4 to the Iphone4. Also, when customers are making the video call, they can use the back camera at the same time (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). Moreover, the Iphone4 camera has something calls “top of focus.” This feature allows the customers who are taking the picture to focus on one specific thing in this picture. Also, the customers can do it before they take the pictures (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). The last thing is that the customers can send their photo by email, mss, and they can post the pictures in “Mobile me.” “Mobile me” is free and it allows the customers to share their photos online and they can check their photos from different devices. Also, it can help the customers to find their Iphone4 if someone has stolen it (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). According to Snell (2010), the video camera of the Iphone4 has HD feature which when he record something, he found it very clear. It comes with “imovie” which allows the customers to edit the video as they want.  According to Snell (2010), the photo picture from the camera of the Iphone4 is good on general. The disadvantage for the camera is if the customers want to make the video call or have “face time”, they have to have Wi-Fi (Admin, 2010). According to Snell (2010), he wasn’t happy with the flash for the camera because he feels that it doesn’t give them that much of quality.
        The screen of the Iphone4 has perfect display; according to the Apple Official Site (2010), the Iphone4 comes with “the960 by 640 LCD display boasts and a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch.” The screen of the Iphone4 has the highest resolution compared with other devices on the market. Moreover, the screen comes with something calls “Retina Display.” This thing makes the screen nearly perfect and the customers don’t see individual pixels on the screen, so the customers can read, watch movies, and make the zoom of the screen with the sharpest and most perfects views. Furthermore, an engineer for Apple tried to solve the problem of the view for the website pages on the internet in the last version of the Iphone3G. They are developing the pixels in the Iphone4. Therefore, the customers can zoom the page without any trouble. Also, the “Retina display” uses a technology called IPS (in-plan switching). This technology allows the customers hold the Ipone4 wherever they like. Furthermore, the glass for the screen has some material which used to build helicopters. Therefore, it is difficult to break the screen. Also, it has something calls “oil resistance” which helps to keep the screen clean. Moreover, the screen has LCD backlight and a sensor which helps to keep the battery life longer (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). According to Snell (2010), the screen has perfect resolution dubbed “Retina Display” by Apple. Therefore, everyone can see anything with a good view. The screen of the Iphone4 allows the customers to see anything in their Iphone4 on perfect display. The disadvantages of the screen that the Iphon4 has bad glass and if someone drops the Iphone4 on the ground, the glass is be broken (Snell, 2010). Now, we find conflict between the company and one of their customers?
      Emails are very important for people. People check their email many times each day, so the Apple Company has considered this habit. Therefore, they have provided the email option in the Iphone4 in different ways. The customers can open their email wherever they are and whatever their accounts are. Also, they can open more than one email at the same time. Moreover, they can see their email as they want on the screen because the “Retina Display” which I was mentioned in the last paragraph. Furthermore, if the customers have more than one account, they can organize their inbox depending on the account which they use. Therefore, there will not be mess between the email accounts. Also, they have a chance to organize their message depends on the person on other word the customer can save the entire messages which they have received form one person in one folder. Therefore, the customers have an ability to be in track with their friends all the time. Furthermore, the email has a spelling check which can help the customers if they don’t know the spelling for some words. Also, when the customers have received the email and it has an attachment, they can open it immediately with the message and with the same format for the attachment. Moreover, the Iphone4 has the search option which helps the customers to find the messages faster (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). The Iphone4 has provided to the customers the opportunity to check their email in a convenient way.
   The important thing in the Iphone4 is that the customer can download thousands of programs. Those programs help the devices of the customer to work in the best condition. Some of those programs are free and some of them are not. If the customers want to download some of those programs, they have to go to an App Store. In this store the customers can find the programs organized in categories. The customers can choose from thousands of programs like books, games, and lifestyle. If the customers want to download the program, they just have to double click on the program and they can find it immediately in their devices. Also, the customers can see which are the most download programs. Moreover, the customers can buy from App Store and send the purchase to their friend.  Furthermore, when the customers visit the App Store, the update icon is present to the customer for the programs which have updated. Therefore, the customers will be on track with the latest versions of each program. Moreover, the customers can download the update for their program as a group or individual on other word the customer can download more than one program at the same time (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). Also, with thousands of program Apple doesn’t forget their customers and they have something calls genius which gives the customer advice about the programs. Now, the App Store has thousands of programs and if the customers wanted to download many of those programs the home screen would be filled, so the Apple Company comes with feature calls folders to organize the programs. If the customers want to create the folders, according to the Apple Company official Site (2010), “To create a folder, touch and hold an app until it wiggles, drag it onto another app, and you’re done.” Furthermore, the folders will have names which it depends on the programs inside this folder for examples if the customer has the folder and all the programs inside the folder are health programs. In this situation the name for the folder will be automatically name by health programs and for sure the customers can rename the folder as they like. The customers can have 180 folders. The customers can hold in each folder 12 programs. The customers can download up to 2160 programs from App Store. Also, it helps the customer to use all the space in the storage carried in the iphone4 (Apple Company Official Site, 2010). There some of Advantages for the App store which according to Admin (2010), which some programs from the App Store don’t work probably and the Iphone4 just accepts the programs from the App Store or ITunes.
            With Iphone4 the customers don’t worry about getting lost because the Iphon4 provide the customers maps and compass program. This program allows the customers to search for any location they want. Also, it gives the customers the estimated destination and time to arrive at this place and they have a choice to choose if they will go by walking or using the car. Moreover, it shows the customer the traffic in the road. Furthermore, the customers can mark a point in their location, and they can send the location to their friend by email. The customers need a Wi-Fi to get the facilities of this program (Apple Company Official Site, 2010).
               Now let’s make evaluate for the Iphone4 with another device in the market. I am going to compare the Iphone4 with Android phone from Motorola in many categories. The first thing is  the data speed in both devices and the winner was the Iphone4 because  the customers who have Iphone4 can make download in averages speed of more1958Kbps, but in the Droid was less 1130Kbps in averages. The second thing is the voice quality and the winner was the Iphone4 because the people who make the experiment heard the voice nature for each other in the line and they didn’t have the drop call, but in the Droid the voice was clear, but it wasn’t clear as the Iphone4 voice.  The third one is the display for the both devices and the winner was the Iphone4. According to (Mies & Sullivan, 2010), who test the both device in this way “set the phones to their maximum brightness and loaded PCWod.com on both, with no zooming in. After placing the handsets side by side, I asked other editors to look at the text and pick which display was more readable.” The result was the Iphone4 was the winner because the Iphone4 has the sharpest and the brightest display. All in all those are some good things which the Iphone4 has more advantages than the Droid phone. According to (Mies & Sullivan, 2010), the Iphone4 has failed in the memory card or the space for the hard drive because it just comes with 16G or 32G and the customers cannot make update for the hard drive. On other hand the Droid phone comes with 8G inside the device. Also, it has another memory card in the box which has 16G and it takes up to 32G. Moreover, the Iphone4 has failed on the sound system for the headphone (Mies & Sullivan, 2010). Also, according to Snell (2010), if the customers hold the Iphone4 in bottom, they will lose the signal. Moreover, Iphone4 doesn’t have FM radio. Also, the customers who have the iphone4 cannot send information to another device using the Bluetooth or USB. The customers cannot exceed the hard drive. Also, when the customers are talking and they use the speaker. Some customers found that the speaker is very bed (Admin, 2010).
 In conclude, when the customers buy the Iphone4, they would have many of advantages like they can have two cameras one on the front and another one in the back of the device. In addition, they can send the pictures by email or post them in the “mobile me.” Furthermore, they can use the “face time” which they can talk with other people live.  Also, they would have ability to try and use the “Retina Display” screen from Apple. Moreover, they can use the App Store which allows them to download thousands of programs and they don’t have to worry about the space for the memory card because App folders from Apple. Also, they keep on track of their emails all the time and wherever their accounts are. Moreover, they would have a chance to download and upload form the internet in the fast way. Besides those thing, the customers who will buy the Iphone4 has some of the disadvantages for it like the glass for the screen is broken easily  when they drop in the ground. Also, the flash is not that good. Furthermore, if the customers want to make “face time”, they should have Wi-Fi. Also, they cannot exceed the space or the memory for the device. Moreover, the Ipone4 just accepts the programs from the App store. Also, the customers can transfer the information through the Bluetooth or USB. I think that everyone on us wants to have cell phone such as Iphone4 in his or her pocket.

The Revolution in Middle East

Those days, we have seen a lot of change in Middle East such and what it is called the revolution. we have seen  the revolution in Egypt and Tunisia , Libya, Sariya, Yaman, Bahrain, how is next. If you go deeper in those countries, you see on common thing between them which is  the economy and stander of living. the economy in those countries  are bad and i think this is the reason why the people go to street asking for change. They want to have better life for them and their children.This is the real reason and not because they want freedom of speech in their country. in the next pargrave I try to convince you about my claim.

If you go back in Tunisia, you will see the people protest because Wikileak. The Wikileaks released some information about the wealth for the president and his family. Also, because the man who burn himself. due to  the police came and take his goods. Therefore, he could not have something to eat and his family.The tow reasons above are the only reason that the evolution has been in Tuniiza. In fact that, during the protest I have not heard people asking for freedom of speech, but i heard people angry for the wealth of the president. So, we can conclude that  people go out to street not because they want freedom of speech, but they want better life.

If you go back to Egypt, you see people who have high education and they could not find a job. Also, the income for the people is very low. so the result is people go out to street hoping if the regime is resign, their life is going to be better and they live better life. Also, during the protest, I heard them talking about how wealth the regime have and how they take pilfering of money for the Egypt people. So, I think we can come with the same conclude.

another example, if you go to Libya, you see country has a lot of money, but the regime does not give anything for the people. the people over there is suffering. in fact that, they can not provide good  life for them and their children. So the result is going to street asking to change the regime because the people want to have better life. Libya has the same issue as Egypt and Tunizzia.

another example, to convince you about the economic is the only factor that makes the evolution in the Middle East. In Saudi Arabia, some people has deiced to go out to street to change the royallty system, but the result is they failed, no body goes out and protest.due to the economy is good and the people are live a perfect life why we change. The people in Saudi Arabia did not love the royal system or the regime itself, but it is simple the regime provides good life for their people and when the people feel that they are not satisfied with their income and their life, they will protest asking for change.

another example, in China, the second largest economy in the World, they do not have any kind of freedom in their country and the people over there  do not go to street asking for change because the economy is doing well. So, they do not have to change it.

another thing that when the governments or the regime in the Middle East want to portect themselves for the revolution, what they do is just how we can make the people satisfied. So, they give the people reward as Saudi Arabia which give their citizen tow salary, or  how we can make the economy better. they did not change any thing related to the freedom of speech or the news rule because they know if the people has good income, they will never turn off on them.

The economy is playing a major rule in the revolution of  the Middle East? ( Your thought)
