Bom Chicka Wah Wah

Axe must have the most entertaining ads ever. Their “Bom Chicka Wah Wah” campaign must be up there with the best of them.

But one of my favorites you can find here and another one over here.

Google Reader

Google Reader is a great way to check the blogs you read without having to go to each and every website. Just add a subscription to each blog/site you wish to be updated about, and everytime there is a new post you will recieve it in the style of your GMAIL inbox. That way you can preview the post and decided whether to expand it or not. Its a very convenient way to check out all those sites you regularly read without the fuss of multiple tabs.

You can also share your list on google reader with other people.

This is also available to use on your mobile platforms.

Take120 Downloads

www.take120.com is a Kuwait-based website with a torrent style/file-sharing set up. The main difference is you buy tokens or tickets for each movie, show, song, piece of hardware, etc.. And you cannot upload your own files to the site. You ask why should i pay if i can download a torrent for free? Fair enough. But also why order from 6alabat.com or taw9eel.com if you can get the same things without a charge? To start, these are all verified files at take120, and also you will be guaranteed to download at the full speed of your internet connection. So like those other sites (6alabat & taw9eel), this is more of a convenience issue. More answers to all your frequently asked questions are available at the site, with a full library of its files. Check it out here.

Wikipedia Tightens Editing Process

Due to the lack of credibility Wikipedia has gotten over the years, they are trying to crackdown on the juvenile pranks they have been accustomed to over the last few years. From celebrities to politicans, no one was safe. Until now. They are trying to make it more legit for everyone to use. Check out the article here.

HTC Hero vs iPhone 3G/3Gs

After finally giving up my iPhone 3G (which i was enjoying apart from some trivial stuff), i got my hands on the HTC Hero.  This will not be an indepth review of both, but a basic and quick comparison as N. will post his full review of the HTC Hero soon. I will forego all the basic specs such as Wi-Fi, Quadband, bluetooth, etc. cuz every smart phone should have that. Continue Reading

Emergency Number Change

As alot of people may or may not know, the emergency number in kuwait has changed from 777 to 112 in an effort to try and standardize the number all around the world. until the end of the year all calls to 777 will be forwarded to 112 until the system is officially launched.The ministry of interior says this bold step is in order to keep up with the rest of the world which are currently using 112….

ok hold on a second…

the US uses 911 and the UK uses 999. those are the biggest superpowers and they arent universally united. i took a quick glance online to check who is actually using 112 now and came up with this list… bali, bhutan, canary islands, curacao, france, french guiyana, grenada , latvia, leichenstein, lithuania, luxemburg, menorca, netherlands, portugal (but there is another number for forest firesin portugal beware!), slovenia, uganda, switzerland. some have it used as a number you reach by only mobile. hmmmm very interesting, next time im on a business trip to bhutan or leichenstein i will make sure i call 112 when i see a crime on the streets. but to be honest it says at the bottom of the site ..

When roaming with a GSM telephone in the European Union, use 112 for emergency services.

what if im not roaming GSM? what if im somewhere besides the european union?

for now though all your questions can be answered at this helpful site, it is always up to date with an online message board where you can find one of a 1000 operators always online 24 hours a day 7 times a week to answer your questions.
