My mother woke me up around 11:30 and gave me a red piece of paper with some weird words scribbled down on it. as i looked harder, squeezing all of my eye powers just to focus on this little paper, i read managed to read words like: delivered, postal service, my name..

I didn’t get it, i was half asleep so i can’t be blamed. but then Mom said “I think its concerning your laptop.” thats when i got fully awake! my laptop is here!!! turned out no, its not here. the ministry of whatever just sent me a notice to come and pick my laptop “or it will be returned to it’s source after 10 days.”

I sprung to my feet, went downstairs and asked our cook, i wanted more info. he said that a guy came, gave him this piece of paper and told him “let Yousef come see us and collect his package after 5 days.” HA! 5 days?! ILWAISH?!

I barely brushed my teeth and went to Kifan Central. after struggling to find the right counter, i finally managed to get my laptop just 1.5 minutes before their closing time. The guy asked me why did i bother come in such a hurry? I said “i paid a lot to get it in time and i didn’t want to waste the weekend with “what ifs” thoughts).

I didn’t pay a single dime for tax (and that my friends, made my week!)

Angled Corner Picture Frames are a smart idea, that allows you to display your pictures in a way you never thought before. They have inner frame and outer frame versions, so you now you can use that empty space you never used before.

Find them in natural maple or beech black finishes, and choose from inside or outside corner styles through the details website. The design might look cool and innovative, but the price is huge for a picture frame KD83 and KD94 “Chena ghaley eshway?”

Since i got married my internet shopping habbit increased by 400%. Me and my wife order from everything from socks to earrings! Kel shay kel shay! Walah walahnaa 3alla ghorfat el tabdeeel bel ma7alat! So we faced a problem in the past 1.5 year that whenever any site asks us to contact them by phone (and most of them provice 1-800-xxx-xxxx contact number) the problem with these numbers is that you can’t call them from outside the US. So the ONLY solution is Skype, Yes from skype you can call 1-800 even if you are out side the US.

So i went directly to Amazon and ordered Linksys iPhone.

Whats in the Box:

• Base station.
• iPhone head set.
• 2 chargers “1 for the head set and one for base station”.
• Ethernet cable.
• Manual.
• Head set battery.

• Land line cable.

Now let me go through their Pros and Cons:

Pros.

• It capable of holding the land line and Skype simultaneously.
• The head set base is separated from the base station.
• NOW i can call Apple and Amazon by simple touches! “walla fashla takhayelaw aloo gowa amazon!!!” .

Cons.

• Low quality build material.
• The two chargers designed for the US electricity, So you need an adapter to run them in Kuwait.

Final Score 3 out 5 “Due to low build quality & lack of multi voltage chargers.
Thanks to the biggest skype fan, 9K2HN, for telling me about it.

A couple of days ago I read on the internet about the controversy Genpets has created when they announced and released their new children doll/pet line. I read into it. The movie child’s play (AKA Chucky) came to mind as I read more about this THING.

From the Site

Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.

Its a living organic Thing, or a pet as they refer to it, You buy it for your children. And they , the Pets, “wake up” when you open the packaging. They recognize the first face they see and get attached to it. They Live up to 1 or 3 years, depends on the type of animal you buy.

They have feelings and emotions. they don’t scream when you cut them because they lack complex vocal cords. They do however produce different kind of noises. Here watch this VIDEO.

I’m beyond freaked out.

Thanks blasha for providing the video & bringing this up

LINK

EDIT: Oppppss!

Turned out the whole thing is fake and was a result of an artist imagination as to what would come out of real DNA and Bioengineering experiments with pets. Thanks Z for clearing it up.

From the Artist behind this idea:

To dismiss Genpets as a ‘hoax’ would be to completely miss the point. The spirit of art is to create an illusion. Genpets is designed ‘as is’ to help the viewer ponder the idea a bit longer.

I like things that glo. I hate waking up. Maybe if I had one of these glo Pillows I’d get up in the morning feeling neutral instead of murderous. The foam pillow works as an alarm clock, and an internal grid of LEDs begins to glow about 40 minutes before it’s set to wake you up. The idea is that a slow and gentle increase in light will bring you out of sleep more naturally. Sounds good in principle, but I hope it has some kind of emergency photonic disruptor mode that kicks in after I pound the snooze button for the twelfth time.

This strange bar of soap was apparently discovered in Russia. I can’t read Russian, but it translates to “the purest soap.” Somehow I doubt that this is a real product, probably something crafted by someone with a sense of humor. Either way, I wouldn’t mind having a bar of this sitting in my bathroom.

Here is a video of it:

It’s confirmed: Apple’s next event is scheduled for March 6th, next Thursday. It’ll be a Town Hall event; obviously new MacBooks and MacBook Pros aren’t to be expected, but the unambiguous “iPhone software roadmap” Time will tell us

I walked into a Zain branch today with dark clouds hovering over my head, I wanted to complain. I wanted to make, whoever ignored the phone and let it ring forever, Suffer the wrath of an annoyed customer! All I wanted was to ask if they had eGo Devices in stock and nobody was picking up! But I decided to finish what i came for first, then do the complaining. So, I went took a number (#222) and waited inline. There was a very huge group of people (taking up all of the waiting area) ahead of me and only 1 hour left for the branch to close.

I waited for 45 minutes and still the board read 221, my number was 222. more than 45 minutes have gone by and that board still showing the same friggin number! I saw the lady at the desk and she was NOT busy and to make matters worse, she stood and started walking away from her desk. She talked on the phone, walked around, chatted with her friends. I wanted to yell at something. There was a guy with a ZAIN badge walking around making sure everything is running smoothly. “AHA!!” I thought.

Me: Excuse me! I’ve been waiting here for more than 45 minutes now and i’m still waiting for that number to change! i’m holding the number next to that one!
Him: ok ok.. no problem, let me…
Me: You can’t treat customers like this! i’ve been calling this branch for hours and no one answers! and now you make me wait for almost an hour here!
Him: whats the number you’re holding?
Me: 222!
Him: But Sir? We’re on 225 now.
Me: whah? where??? that board is showing 221!
Him: thats just the desk’s counter, and the lady is taking a break. we have many other desks and they’re still taking customers.
Me: err… uhhh… well you should’ve put a bigger board!
Him: we have a bigger one, its right —> there.
Me: oh.. hmm… aa…. *looks around for the nearest black hole*

Moral of the story: Look around before you open your big mouth. Or better yet, STAY QUIET!!

Here’s more proof that a useful gadget doesn’t necessarily have to be high-tech. The TaskWatch Whiteboard from Art. Lebedev Studio (yes, the same people who make the Optimus Maximus keyboard) is basically your standard whiteboard but with the addition of a traditional analog clock in the center.

Using regular whiteboard markers you can not only use the board for brainstorming and jotting down ideas, but you can also keep track of when you’re expected to deliver said ideas to the boss. The company is currently selling a 90×60cm version on its online store but in true Art. Lebedev Studio style the TaskWatch will cost you $202.70! I know whiteboards aren’t cheap, but you’re probably better off to just pick one up from Staples, drill a hole and install a simple clock kit yourself.
