I created a facebook account ages ago, I tried it and didn’t feel all the hype and I left it at that until my brother introduced me to ‘Guess the sketch’. The game is addictive. You all take turns to sketch a word while others guess it. Simple and addictive. Now I want to get a digital pen just to be more efficient when its my turn to sketch 😛

We’ve just added a poll, you can see it on the right side bar. We’re going to start a new poll every week for you to vote, starting today. 🙂

This week’s question got to do with Ramadan. Which Ramadan dish is your favorite?

Edit:
The poll acts weird on Safari and some mobile phones. We’ll see what we can do about that soon inshallah.

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.

Apple will hold an event on the 9th of this month, it will be probably mainly for the mini ipods, but who knows maybe they’re gonna introduce the new tablet 🙂 9K2HN stay tuned coz i think ena alah hadaak o elfal lekhwanek inshallah 🙂

UPDATE: it seems that im a bit outdated, coz there are no ipod minis for couple of years now, I guess I meant to say ipods nano. Thanks Kha for the correction 🙂

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink. However if you stare at the black ” +” in the centre, the moving dot turns to green. Now, concentrate on the black ” + ” in the centre of the picture. After a short period, all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you will only see only a single green dot rotating.

It’s amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot , and the pink ones really don’t disappear. This should be proof enough, we don’t always see what we think we see.

In the past 4 days my internet was SO SLOW! I cant even write a post. So as usual I called 107 and they kept me waiting for almost 20 min. Ok o ba3dain ?! what do you think the solution was? Take your sim card from the router, restart it and wait 10 mins. (( for those who dont know Zain’s its a normal procedure with ANY PROBLEM)) So, I waited 10 min with no sucsses. I called again and made a complaint. Until now the problem isn’t solved. And the guys there keep sayin ‘Zain Thanks Your Call!’ thanks for what?! Don’t thank me! solve my problem! Sij I’m annoyed at them!

My phone is starting to fall apart and this little piece (above) falling out is definitely a sign to move on and get a new one. I liked the phone coz it was simple, easy to use and needed nothing more than a charge every 2 days. But now I’m thinking of buying something with more features and you know more features always mean bulkier. I have little knowledge when it comes to mobile phones, and right now all I know is that I need a change and something different from the mobile types I’m used to.

The things I want in my new mobile phone:

1-Great build.
2-A screen big enough to view emails and sites.
3-A mobile made to be used for internet stuff.
4-A good camera would be nice.

Mobiles I’m considering:

-iPhone.
-Blackberry Bold.
-Nokia E71.

The phone I’m most likely to buy is the blackberry, for 2 reasons:

1-The iPhone is too much hassle with the unlocking and version updating.
2-E71 is a Nokia phone. I’ve been off Nokia for years now. They’re inherently cheap.

I don’t know whether I’d enjoy using a mobile as bulky as the Blackberry (or any of the above listed mobiles), I just know that I want something different this time.

And why?

Few days ago i got my new mini studio, and since our electricity is similar to the UK’s i’ve decidedo to order it from Amazon UK to avoid any of those bulky converters, and today i decided to assemble it.

What surprised me was that it came with a bag! so its portable! yousef ya3ni agdar ayebaa 3endekom sahala 😛

and here it is fully constructed 🙂

It costs around KD 36 (KD18 + KD18 for shipping with Aramex)
