Got two questions for you guys and need your help because I’ve already did a search on Google and didn’t come up with anything, the questions are:

1. Can I redeem a UK iTune card if I’m signed in US store?

2. Can I merge two cards together? let’s say I got in the balance $10 and just bought $50 card, once its redeemed will my balance be $50 or $60?

UPDATE I:

Answers are:

1. No

2. Yes

So, I’m heading to Apple store to try to exchange it with anything else.

UPDATE II:

Just came from them and they’ve accept to exchange it. And I did exchange it with the MBP battery for Yousef’s laptop.

A good Macbook Air offer caught my attention on an ad by Electrozan. As you can see on the right ad the Air is up for KD249, which was a great bargain. I called a friend who was interested in the Air and told him about the offer. But then I saw another ad today, the left one, with a much higher price, KD549. I don’t know if this was a typo or just an offer for an old Air that ended.

Can someone clarify?

Since my office got shifted to a new location, my computer position also changed, and my screen now has been easily looked at by collegues and they’d know everything I do. No privacy. It was really annoying, So couple of weeks ago I was found a solution for the problem, thanks to Ahmad, for telling me about the 3M privacy filter which is really do the job for me. All you need is to enter you monitor’s brand and model and it will automatically select the ideal filter.

For more details and pictures comparison click below.

Above the screen without the filter and you can see how very visible my screen is.

Now this is with the screen filter attached, it gives the impression that my screen is off! which is really cool and you can notice how close I am to the monitor, so from this point which is almost 15 cm far from the center of the monitor no one can see what I’m doing

Its also available for laptops, mobiles and CRT monitors. Now when it comes to the cost I think its a little costly since it’s, with Aramex shipping, around KD40 which I think is a bit expensive. But hey it does the job.

If you’re thinking of getting one just click HERE

Zain’s Marketing Department have sent us their new Zain MiFi device, which is not yet released in the market. Let’s start by telling you what it is first: The MiFi in a nutshell is a mobile router. And it’s size is almost exactly like the Blackberry curve size.

We have put it through tests for 3 days now, and we have the results. But before talking about its functions and all, we’d like to point out that this thing is elegant! when we held it it looked like a women’s fancy compact makeup; Storage is easy with this thing. Its a mobile router that you can charge and then use wirelessly.

Whats in the box:

• MiFi device.
• USB cable.
• MiFi Battery.
• Charger.
• Manual.

Device specs:

• Uses wireless 802.11 b/g.
• Maximum of 5 WiFi enabled devices.
• Up to 16 GB microSD card slot support.
• Battery life is around 5 hours.

Speed test:

I got two sim cards with different connection speed the first one was 7.2 Mb/s and the second was the 21.6 Mb/s. I knew the MiFi’s limitation was up to 7.2 Mb/s but I wanted to give it a try and know it’s real limits and see the results for myself. I’m glad that I did.

First I used it with my 7.2 mbps sim card.

The Download speed average was 1.37 Mb/s, and the Upload speed was 0.08 Mb/s.

• MP3 File (3 MB): Downloaded in 30 seconds.
• Video Clip (35 MB): Downloaded in approx. 3 minutes.
• Movie (800 MB): Downloaded in approx. 78 minutes.

Then I used it with my other card, the 21.6 mbps.

The Download speed was 2.44 Mb/s and the upload speed was 0.3 Mb/s.

• MP3 File (3 MB): Downloaded in 17 seconds.
• Video Clip (35 MB): Downloaded in 2 minutes.
• Movie (800 MB): Downloaded in 44 minutes.

Conclusion:

You’ve seen the comparison and how the speed differed. It was explicitly mentioned that the device supports up to 7.2 Mbps, but when I used my 21Mbps card, the speed increased by almost a 100% Which could be interpreted as both good and bad.

Good: because I was able to get more out of the Mifi by using my 21Mbps.

Bad: because if I use my 21Mbps card I would want to get the best out of it’s speed, and in this case I wasn’t. You won’t face this little dilemma if you’re using the 7.2Mbps.

The device is very stylish and small. No wires are needed when you use it, just insert the sim card and it’ll connect to the internet and provide internet for up to 5 laptops. Its very mobile and would take no space at all while packing, actually it would fit right into your pocket. You can charge it and it’ll last for 5 hours, and if the battery runs out you can connect it through the USB wire to your laptop and it’ll start charging.

Very good for those who go camping and chalets. It does what it’s made for and it does it awesomely.

It’ll be released soon in Kuwait. The price isn’t set yet, but we were told it’ll be around KD80.
