    ALTAIR MICROCOMPUTER
    December 18, 1974

    The pioneering Altair 8800 microcomputer was first put on sale in the U.S. as a do-it-yourself computer kit, for $397. It used switches for input and flashing lights as a display. Ed Roberts founded Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS) to market his product that used the 8800 microprocessor. The demand for the $395.00 machine exceeded the manufacturer's wildest expectations. The Altair 8800 was featured on the cover of the Jan 1975 issue of Popular Electronics. The first commercially successful personal computer, the Commodore PET, which integrated a keyboard and monitor in its case, came out in early 1977. The Apple II followed later that year.

    POLAND AUSCHWITZ’S ARBEIT MACHT FREI IS STOLEN
    December 18, 2009 - Poland

    Thieves in Poland have stolen the infamous wrought iron sign that announced "work sets you free" over the main gate at Auschwitz. The sign saying "Arbeit macht frei" was erected by the Nazis soon after the old Auschwitz barracks were converted into a labour and extermination centre in 1940. It was used to suggest that hard work would allow inmates to walk free. As Auschwitz was turned into a major hub for the Holocaust and murdered over a million people the sign has come to represent a cynical commentary. 'It seems that a gang of perhaps three people unscrewed the sign between three o'clock and five o'clock on Friday morning,' said the Polish police. 'They must have used a ladder and had a car waiting for them.' ( The men who stole the sign are arrested the next day and the sign is found cut into three pieces, each containing one of the words Arbeit Macht Frei )

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Internet and mass media have reached almost every house and is continuously becoming difficult to give out everyone with a view of events occurring across the globe in one go.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

It is a substantially recognized concept that totality governments, especially belonging to the Middle East and Muslim world are regularly employed in unrelenting effort to strangle the high bred technologies of mass-media such as the internet from going against their regional or national privacies for political, security or diplomatic reasons. Western interests on the other hand, seem to be exploiting the powers of conventional media to move views of the world to advantage of their interest against other areas of the world and especially towards Middle East and the Muslim world.

Plentiful proofs show up that after the infamous attack on the World Trade Center on September 11; the relation between western powers and the Middle East and Islamic world have turned bitter. As an outcome, it is becoming quite evident that western mass media businesses are on a way to carry out negative information against the Islamic world and the Middle East. This is because they want to carry out later motives of their sponsorship, by confronting Muslim views as negative. The financial powers, economic and diplomatic influence to make it worse as these mass media giants make it simpler to make the propaganda much louder as it appears thereby regulating views of the world against the Muslim world.

The online magazines exploit underlying opportunities of modern mass media programs to circularize new perspectives, ideologies and ideas to the farthest part of the globe and also to balance views of the world on happenings that take place globally. Their main aim is to offer and provide facts and truth behind these events. So they offer an insight of the truth to the world, thereby changing their views. All the worlds 1.5 billion Muslim people take a look on the global issues and events and also form an authentic forum for good discussion among Christians, Muslims, Jews ore people from other religion and beliefs. So here the role of online magazine comes in.

What an online magazine requires is to be unbiased and provide news updated with time scale of one minute. They must also provide opinions of the public masses regarding events around them and around the globe. They must balance between the world news with an objective to promote brotherhood and peace. Broadcasting news must be authentic so as it does not influence people of other beliefs in a negative manner. That is what every online magazine must do. Healthy discussions must be taken into account on the news forum to promote social respect and required justice.

Islam tribune is one such online magazine that promotes authentic and unbiased news to help balance Muslim views and World News. The Middle East news is authentic that it provides and the Muslim News influence majority of those people who are a regular reader with social balance in mind.
