AMAZING footage from Egypt. Watch it while you can, particularly the live feed from Cairo. (Requires Real Player) I can't believe they haven't censored this already.

Thank you for posting this. It's really fascinating, and scary, and exciting to watch, especially since I was just there (in Cairo) a month ago.

I also noticed this story: http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/01/2011128796164380.html

"About a half-hour past midnight on Friday in Egypt, the internet went dead.

"Almost simultaneously, the handful of companies that pipe the internet into and out of Egypt went dark as protesters were gearing up for a fresh round of demonstrations calling for the end of president Hosni Mubarak's nearly 30-year rule, experts said.

"Egypt has apparently done what many technologists thought was unthinkable for any country with a major internet economy: It unplugged itself entirely from the internet to try and silence dissent."

Wow.
