DHL sent me a package the other day telling about their improved service. They sent a brochure and a form to fill and sign. It’s not really a brand new service but more like a revamped @Home service and they’ve changed the name to Easy Shop.

The positive changes they’ve made to their service are:

1-Internet tracking.
2-Shipment leaves within 24 hours from it’s arrival to your US mailbox and you’ll get notified twice via sms and email. Once when it leave and once again when it arrive.
3-4 days transit period.
4- Concierge service.

And there is one big change they’ve done and is, in my opinion, a very big mistake:

They won’t deliver to our homes any more. We pick a service point (they have 4 points all over Kuwait) and we go ourselves to collect the packages.

If you want to learn more about this service then you should read This post and This one too.

My friend was in Avenues phase II and took the picture above. He said it looked like another big food court is about to be opened in phase II.

Thanks HKR

Viva’s located near fono’s.

Thanks loco.

We posted about this back in april. It was reported then that they’d open the Alraya branch in July.

Thanks loco.

My friend Talal who is a student in Dubai just wrote us saying there is a big issue going on with all the Kuwaiti credit cards (Visa, Master, and even Visa electron) that’s been used in Dubai within the last 6 months. He said they’re suspending all the cards and issuing new ones due to recent theft incidents. Make sure you always do a credit card comparison.

He also said that NBK is going to send him his card via DHL, and that if someone who’s in dubai and in desperate need for cash, they can lift the block on his card just temporarily in order for him to withdraw some money and then block it again right away. Click here to learn more about an alternative which is better than using your credit cards for loans.

Did you guys know about this thing? I didn’t. All I know is that they’re replacing all of their cards with new ones with a chip in them. Sort of an update and not something serious.

Thanks Talal.

Update:
I just spoke with someone from NBK and he confirmed that there have been many pretty big hacks and theft incidents on credit & debit cards used in Dubai in the past 6 months. And it’s happening with all the other banks too, not just the NBK.

So Apple’s long awaited event took place this evening around 8pm (our time) and the following are some of the results:

• New revamped macbook pro with many new features.
• New silver macbooks that look exactly like the pro line have been introduced, and dropped the black ones.
• Macbook air. upped the harddisk to 128gb and added a mini display port.
• New led backlit Cinema Display with a magsafe to power notebooks, a 2nd USB port and a display port.

Personally I was most concerned about the new macbook pro line, since I just bought mine 6 months ago, and honestly, I thought I’d be a bit more jealous, but I’m not. I’ve always hated the black keyboard on the Air’s, but then again, I’m really impressed with the new mouse button (now THATS innovation) and the new improved battery life.

To know more about the event in details se ENGADGET’s live feed.

They’re going to release a new e-Go package tomorrow. It’s going to be a prepaid package, no fixed monthly fees and no subscriptions. the e-Go device (shown above) will be sold for KD 40 and then you can charge it by paying either through eezee cards or by going online and pay using your Knet or Credit card. You can choose to pay KD1.5 which equals either 500mb worth of bandwidth or 24 hours internet access.

The network connection speed is still 7.2mb for this new package.

It’s on King Fahad’s Highway and near Alzour’s exit.

Anyway, Me and Yousef wish you all the best o 3eedkom embarak 🙂

UPDATE:

Confirmed by Al-Rai TV tomorrow is Eid in Kuwait.

Got this via e-mail:

On August 19th 2007, an oil tanker off the coast of Australia split in two, dumping 20,000 tons of crude oil. Senator Collins, a member of the Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news program to reassure the Australian public. This actual interview is so funny, you’d swear it was a ‘Monty Python’ skit.

It just proves… Once a politician, always a politician!

Thanks Taymoor.

Update:
Not a real interview.
