The Sakhr App

I just read on Gizmodo that Sakhr صخر the computer/software company are working on a voice translation app for the iPhone and Blackberry. The demo looks good, but I’m not sure if such Apps are accurate;  or actually, I don’t know if such apps are convenient. (Youtube)

We all have the same balls!

I guess it’s the first time we see the same balls (design) used in English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and Italian Lega Calcio. Still I doubt that we will see those balls used by AC Milan, Real Madrid, along with Liverpool and all the other teams sponsored by Addidas and the other losers.

“Nike made a progressive ball figment of the continuous studies in research and development. Total 90 assures a lot of precision and balance, a better management of speed and rifle range, an excellent visibility airborne and on the ground.”

The Old Combination

What About You?

I was a bit worried about swine flu especially before I traveled to the US last month, but when I reached there I noticed that everything was normal. No one checked us in the Airport and people seemed very normal on the streets.. I mean I didn’t see anyone wearing a mask or something… Yet I hear that many people in Kuwait are cancelling their summer vacations because of the swine flu. I personally believe that the media “especially in Kuwait” had highly exagerated the swine flu issue. Now.. What about you? Are you going to cancel your vacation??

“It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.” -  Jerry Seinfeld

I told a friend about it , and yet it happens over and over again, and we fall for it every time it happens. Two weeks ago I was trying to convince TY (the friend) how the media sets the mode and the importance of whatever we articulate around every day.

“Here you go, all we talk about today is the Iranian elections, no more Lebanese elections, no sign of bombings in Iraq, and nothing about Pakistan,” reflecting how the situation in Iran took over the media worldwide. I guess many of you out there agree about the role the media plays in our everyday life.  

The other vital part we’re born to miss is how the “media” sets the mode on what’s really important for us, what’s urgent, and what’s no longer relevant. The latter part is nothing but the safest door-lock placed on our minds; it’s really funny (sarcastically) to see that the CNN, over 4 days, has only talked about the life of Michael Jackson, disregarding all the events happening in the world. How many people out there have heard about Melanie Oudin (USA)? , or about the latest Max Mosley saga with F1 teams?, 15 people killed in Beirut last week (not to mention yesterday’s epic battle in Beirut), or even the everyday glorious actions undertaken the omnipotent Ahmedinajad, or the latest Honduran curfew?

I strongly believe in conspiracy, I do admit that I’m a conspiracy theorist. I also beleive that the media is controlled by a “shadow power”, a power that controls the media in the most powerful country on earth, The U.S.

The power of the “media” does not only affect us as citizens, but also (that secret power) affects any communication medium around the world. If today Al Arabiya TV decides to cover an event which is concurrent and congruent to another event that might be perceived as highly important only by “that secret power” itself, then we’ll all lose interest in Al Arabiya for not covering that “more important” event going on.

June 11 : WHO declares swine flu pandemic.

Again, What’s the latest on swine flu?

“Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here, of our own device”

What’s in the box? Hello iPhone 3GS

I went back home after work and found that a friend had sent me a box… What do you think is inside this box??

Tip: There is a small box inside this box;p

Update_____________________________

YES!!! Most of you got it right!! It’s my new iPhone 3GS!!!!!!!

Finally!! It’s here. The phone is almost identical to the old iPhone 3G except that the words at the back are more shiny.

My friend sent me the 32 GB model and yes it’s officially unlocked;) I tried it yesterday and I noticed that it is faster than my old iPhone. The battery is also a bit better. I’ve tested all the new services such as the Push notification, Find my iPhone, Voice control, Compass, Video recording, and Internet Tethering. I will leave you with the gallery- Read the description of every image.

They just don’t care

The thing that you are looking at is part of the old Kuwaiti gates and as you can see, someone had spray-painted the walls of the old fence. They just don’t care!

Thanks AAW

Wakeboarding in Kuwait

One of our friends sent us this article about wakeboarding in Kuwait..

_________________________________________________

When in Kuwait people are constantly looking for fun activities or new hobbies. However, some interests are difficult to fulfill without proper instruction and training. When it comes to wakeboarding proper instruction and training is the key component when learning this incredible sport. Al Shaye marine recently opened up a wakeboarding training camp offered by the multi-talented Bader Al Jihaym, Jeanne Al Failakawi, and Saleh Al-Duwaisan. These instructors offer valuable tips and tricks in order to elevate riders from the beginner to more extreme tricks and flips. The wakeboarding course consists of a 10 hour course: 2 hours theory and land training, and 8 hours practical training on their boat. The wakeboarding camp is a group course with up to 5 participants in each course. During land training the team offers a trampoline to imitate the feel of wakeboarding and answer several questions one might have. However, once you start the practical course the real fun begins with learning and mastering the art of wakeboarding. Girls are more than welcome to join with Jeanne Al-Failakawi offering her valuable training and instruction.

The only negative side to this course is its steep price of 120 KD, which in my opinion is a bit pricey. However, if you are just interested in a one-time introduction to this sport then it is a perfect choice for those who are interested in wakeboarding.

Bye Bye Michael

It seems that it’s true.. King of Pop Michael Jackson had passed away earlier today. I’ve always been a fan of Michael’s classics and I also wanted to see him in London this summer…

BBM rumors…

Who ever started these rumors is sick! A couple of days ago a friend called and told me that Asala Nasri passed away in a car accident in Dubai. Before that it was Abdulmajeed Abdullah, and also before Abdulmajeed they said that Nasser Al Qasbi from “6ash ma 6ash” passed away! Thank God they are all alive…(Youtube)

One more thing..

I have noticed that all of these rumors have started from the Blackberry Messenger-BBM

Latest Habba – bicep revolution

I’ve been noticing lately that every other man in Kuwait is only concerned on  how many people can he accidentally knock-off while walking through a peaceful crowd, or having bigger biceps.

The ugly part of this habba is that a large percentage (and believe, very large) of those people are on steroids, or whatever they call that shot you take to make your muscles go crazy.

The other smaller percentage of people believe that they are born nutritionists; going on to take pills like crazy, which include amino-acids (proteins) and other protein powders which smell, taste, and look like shit!

I’m sorry, I don’t know what goal they want to achieve? Sorry for them!
