cyberspace America



America has been the first and most powerful country regarding providing cyberspac information.Cyberspace meaning "steersman", "governor", "pilot", or "rudder"is the global domain of electromagnetics as accessed and exploited through electronic technology and the modulation of electromagnetic energy to achieve a wide range of communication and control system capabilities. The term is rooted in the science of cybernetics and Norbert Wiener’s pioneering work in electronic communication and control science, a forerunner to current information theory and computer science. Through its electromagnetic nature, cyberspace integrates a number of capabilities (sensors, signals, connections, transmissions, processors, and controllers) and generates a virtual interactive experience accessed for the purpose of communication and control regardless of a geographic location.
In pragmatic terms, cyberspace allows the interdependent network of information technology infrastructures (ITI), telecommunications networks—such as the internet, computer systems, integrated sensors, system control networks and embedded processors and controllers common to global control and communications. As a social experience, individuals can interact, exchange ideas, share information, provide social support, conduct business, direct actions, create artistic media, play games, engage in political discussion, and so on. The term was coined by the cyberpunk science fiction author William Gibson. Now ubiquitous, the term has become a conventional means to describe anything associated with computers, information technology, the internet and the diverse internet culture. Cyberspace is recognized as part of the US National Critical Infrastructure. (www.wikipedia.com)
But as it is evident we can see that America has been the formost and most important country regarding internet system providers and it possesses the main internet providers around the world and we can name google. Youtube and generally speaking America now is in charge of all the information provided in the cyberspace and now india is walking in the same way as Americans and as Iranians we should take the initiative to move forward and be active in providing interenet information throughout the world.

Man tried to bomb U.S. plane in attempted terror attack



A Nigerian man accused of trying to bomb a Northwest flight to Detroit on Christmas Day was arraigned Friday in a quiet hearing that lasted barely four minutes yet attracted a throng of reporters, protesters and curious observer. It is said that he was wearing a white shirt and metal shackles on his feet, with his head shaved, the defendant, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, was silent when his lawyers entered a plea of not guilty.
On Wednesday, a federal grand jury indicted Mr. Abdulmutallab on six charges, including attempted murder on an airplane, attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and related offenses. He is accused of concealing explosives in his underwear and of trying to detonate them with a syringe of chemicals as Northwest Flight 253, which carried 289 passengers and crew members from Amsterdam, was descending for landing in Detroit. He managed to start a small fire but was overpowered by other passengers and flight attendants, and the plane landed safely. [1]
Asked whether he was taking medication, Mr. Abdulmutallab responded: “In the last 24 hours? Some painkillers.”
His lawyers waived a detention hearing and consented to having Mr. Abdulmutallab continue to be held in the federal prison in Milan, near Ann Arbor.
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has said that Mr. Abdulmutallab could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted. Mr. Holder has also said that the government has obtained significant information from Mr. Abdulmutallab about the Yemen-based branch of Al Qaeda that is suspected of planning the attack.Mr. Abdulmutallab’s father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a respected Nigerian banker, alerted both Nigerian and American authorities in the fall that his son, a Muslim, had become radicalized and had moved to Yemen. Two Nigerian lawyers — Maryam Uwais and Mahmud Kazaure — attended Friday’s hearing to observe for the family. [2]
As it is evident another wave of terror and insecurity encompassed U.S and Americans on Christmas Eve. More important than the event is its consequences that inflicts other Muslims in all parts of the world and especially Muslims in America itself. These kind of actions are doomed in all parts of the world and by all humans regardless of their religion and race and culture and no true human in any part of the world confirms these kind of actions and that’s why dozens of Muslims from nearby Dearborn gathered outside the courthouse carrying large American flags and colorful signs that read “NOT in the name of Islam” and “Islam is against terrorism.” And as another example of outrage we can mention “Abdulmutallab is not Muslim,” said Mohssen Sadeq, 40, who said he came to the United States from Yemen in 2000. “I need peace and freedom everywhere. I don’t want terrorists anywhere. This is my country. I love America.” in spite of all these outrages unfortunately a sense of disrespect and fear exists among non-Muslims toward Muslims and Iranians as a Muslim nation are not exceptional in this kind of feelings.
