Reports indicate that Syrian internet is back up and running. Videos of uprisings against the government were taken regardless and sent out of the country via satellite phone. According to reports, seven out of the country's forty networks came back at about 7 pm GMT on Friday and the rest coming back up on Saturday morning a little after 4 am GMT. Google Transparency Reports show that Syrian internet activity is roughly the same as before the shutdown. Syria follows Egypt and Libya's example

The internet is back on in Syria and uprisings were violent

Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
