Apple just wrapped their ‘Let’s Rock’ event and these are the announced products:

-New iPod Nanos.
-iTunes 8.
-New thinner iPod Touch 2.0
-New colors for Shuffle.
-iPod Classics (I don’t get this update. They no longer have the 160GB?)

Thanks loco for reminding me.

As the title suggest, google made a browser. Smart move, google. They said in their introduction that since everything we do online nowadays is within a browser; emails, chat, sites..etc. then they might as well make their own browser and build it from a scratch.

There is no Google Chrome for MACs as of yet but there is for windows.

Thanks Hamad.

This year’s Ramadan marks the 29th anniversary for Alroudan’s tournament, a yearly Ramadanian football tournament. And this time, according to a friend of mine, they will have many former football champions among the honor guests list. I’ll mention 4 of the most famous ones:

• Bebeto.
• Fernando Hierro.
• Rui Costa.
• Carlos Valderrama.

Plus other GCC national teams’ champions.

The tournament’s Official Site.

I was recommended this Kuwaiti version of Youtube by a friend of mine last weekened. It isn’t an old site, it debuted according to them on march of this year. I’m loving it. It got full length movies and is somehow, to me, faster than youtube.. which is weird.

The people behind the site are doing a great job. Check it out, LINK.

Thanks Sulaiman.

What would it sound like if 15 of the hottest female singers joined voices? The answer will be revealed Sept. 2.

That’s when “Just Stand Up” hits airwaves and iTunes. The song features Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood. All sales of the star-studded single will benefit cancer research.

The charity tune was conceived by Antonio “L.A.” Reid, who produced it with longtime creative colleague Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds.

Yesterday I was watching Funoon channel and I found out that Funoon is
adding a new channel called Funoon PLUS. I Know that each “plus” channel means a repeating channel. But I also know that Funoon repeats its programs a lot in one day. (e3ada X e3ada) so why are they adding a new channel for that?

Forgive me if this is old news, but I saw Al Kalha restaurant the other day in Mishref’s international fair ground (arth alma3areth). Its a palestinian (or Jordanian, not sure) restaurant. My roommate back in the UAE was a Kalha addict, he loved their falafels.

Their Phone # 5390043.

These are the new numbers effective on october. From the picture it shows that Zain numbers will begin with a 9, Wataniya with a 6, 2 for the landlines and Commercial lines will begin with 1.

Thanks Abdullah

We just got an email with a picture confirming a post Mishary did weeks ago about Sephora opening soon in Kuwait. The location is Avenues phase II right in front of Caribou’s Cafe. The place is under construction now but will open soon.

Thanks a lot Om MiMi.

Just got an sms from Ahmad telling me Sultan Center Souq Sharq is closed because they had a fire!

Can anyone confirm it? Got any pictures to show us?

Thanks Ahmad

UPDATE: just got the picture from Ahmad.

It’s been awhile since I last heard something new from Whitney Houston, but Whitney is back people! I just got her new song featuring Akon, titled “Like I never Left”. Its a nice breezy summer song, a catchy slow jam and for some it could be a perfect sing along song. Just the perfect song to ease back into the public and for the people to warm up to her again. Akon’s part is good too, their voices compliment each others.

I think its good they decided (and by they I mean Clive Davis) to leak a song like ‘Like I Never Left’, which I consider a safe song. Vocally and lyrically its very safe and could be received well at radio. They could’ve easily gone with a big production big over the top vocals, but They were smart not to do so, imo, and by leaking this song so casually without announcing to the world that its her first single from her new album, they’ll get a chance to remind people of Whitney and at the same time avoid getting harsh criticism for it not being first single material.

I like the song a lot. Here, listen for yourself:

Dubai: Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim has been found murdered in an apartment in Dubai Marina late on Monday, police sources said.

Some Arabic websites said the singer was found stabbed and disfigured.

The singer was living in Dubai for the past eight months, according to the websites.

Suzan Tamim shot to fame in 1996 after she participated in the popular ‘Studio Al Fan’ television show and won the top award.

Tamim has released two albums in her career and has married twice.

Emirates is ready to establish their new route from Dubai to New York very soon, ofcourse with the new double decked airplane, the A380. Here is more about it:

“Emirates was quick to recognise the potential of Airbus’ revolutionary design when it was first introduced in April 2000, and was the first airline to place an order – and is now by far the biggest single A380 operator, with 58 new aircraft due to join the Emirates fleet.

When the Emirates A380-800 makes its maiden passenger-carrying flight, we will for the first time be able to transport more than 500 passengers in a single aircraft, with the same levels of comfort and service that has made us the world’s fastest-growing airline.”

The guy who is most probably going to get executed for being involved in the 9/11 attacks, is complaining about the courtroom sketch, and says that the artist made his nose bigger than what it really is.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (AP)
The confessed mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America said a courtroom artist at his arraignment Thursday made his nose look too big.

No photographers were allowed inside the courtroom for the first appearance of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged coconspirators on war crimes charges. So it fell to artist Janet Hamlin to provide the world with the first image of the al Qaeda kingpin since his capture in Pakistan in 2003.

Her rendering was reviewed to make sure it didn’t include classified information, and wound up in Mohammed’s hands when his defense team was given a look, said Pentagon spokesman Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon.

Mohammed wasn’t pleased.

“I heard he said I should compare it to the FBI photo of him,” Hamlin said, clutching a copy of the much-publicized capture photo that showed Mohammed in a T-shirt looking disheveled and unshaven.

Asked if Mohammed had a point, Hamlin said: “I agree totally” before rushing back to the courtroom to downsize his nose.
