This isn't an official posting or a report per se, but more of an awareness spreading.
Some of you may already know what has happened to Egypt, and the incredible thing the Mubarak government has done there. If it were done here in Malaysia, for starters, you wouldn't be reading this post.
If you want to find out more about the impact CUTTING OFF 90% OF EGYPT'S INTERNET, cultural, economical, social, that can be easily sought in your local news website or newspaper.
But if you wanna' know HOW DID EGYPT DO IT, you can check it with this website:

And here's an interesting follow-up, COULD EARTH'S ONLY SUPERPOWER GOVERNMENT DO THAT AS WELL:
I'll be honest, me posting this and giving you guys a fresh perspective of things isn't going to really change the sour relationship between Egypt's government and Egypt's people, or even strengthen your bonds with your ideals or peers.
But it's crucial that when this kind of shit happens, one must be aware, and to some extent, be prepared:
Mentally (do you cry when you break your Iphone?)
Pragmatically (a close-by DVD shop when the film you're downloading freezes?)
Idealistically (Julian Assange???)
Either way, the truth hurts, but you must allow the truth to set you free. May the Egyptian government see the same.
