This Egypt thing gives me hope in humanity.

Well ok, so far:
Protestors have lit the HQ of the leading political party on fire. Coincidentally, the HQ is located right next to the Cairo National Museum. Protestors are also lining up to protect the museum from fires and looting.
Protestors have just lit the HQ of Mobilin on fire for shutting down the internet.
Reports of policemen taking off uniforms and joining the protestors
I probably missed some things but eh.

The media seems to overlook the same protests in Yemen and Tunisia for the same reason.

Yep, the goverment ordered all Egyptian ISP's to shut off broadband connections to the internet. The only way for them to get online now is dial-up.

Well, looks like shutting down the internet has caused...
A flame war.
