"Khaled Fattal, a Syrian-born businessman with U.S. citizenship, residence in Britain and an office in Singapore, could qualify as a citizen of the world.

And as an Arab with international connections, Fattal is well-placed to accelerate a task which has eluded technicians and linguists for the past decade--enabling Arabs unfamiliar with the Latin script to use the Internet in Arabic alone."

Good story from CNET about an aspect of the internet usually hidden: it functions primarily in English which limits its usage. But that is slowly changing.
