This is Particularly Funny and Ironic due to the fact that Steve Jobs, the co-founder and chariman of apple that passed away a month ago, is of Syrian Decent(His father was Syrian), that is the equivalent of Cubans Banning Cuban Cigars in Havana haha ...

That is very funny because in an indirect way the I-Phone is of 'Syrian' origin!!!!! It is probably the only original component of technology to come from the region that is now called 'Syria' in the last few thousand years. Let us not forget that 'Syria' is an artificial state ((like Jordan, Saudi, etc) that was formed by the Sykes-Picot Agreement between France and Britain in 1916.

Introduce a law banning iPhones people will use them anyway and its only a matter of time before there is an app for Androids and then will have to ban them as well. If Assad was smart he would operate cellphone jammers that not only stops the apps which hurt his feelings but it limits coordination capabilities of the protestors. If only Assad had adopted Apples famous THINK DIFFERENT slogan he would not only still be in power but he would have made himself a hero through a jobs program because its unemployment that sparked all this not a desire for democracy. Instead the idiot chose killing and its going to cost him his job and possibly even his life.
