Welcome to Sharik961 where you tell us news happening in Lebanon.
In late May, 2009 we're inviting citizen to participate in reporting for the upcoming Lebanese Parliamentary Elections (June 7, 2009).

Watch the full Apple iPad Keynote online
Apple unveiled their mobile computing tablet on January 27 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco.
