Fring for Symbian

13 07 2008

I have always wanted to use Skype on my phone.. So I decided to installed Fring on my E71 which is a client for Skype, MSN, ICQ and other messaging services. whats really awesome about it is the fact that you can use 3G to make the calls, that means international calling just became 100 times cheaper for me! the reasons i didn’t like fring before was the fact that it was only WiFi for the calls, now with this feature and my 14KD per month subscription for data it’s very good way to be connected with people outside of Kuwait as well as saving money when you do that.

Astronaut Training Experience

29 06 2008

I was surfing the net trying to kill some time before I sleep and I found this experience which reminded me of blogger who want to be an Astronaunt , so this post goes out to.

The Kennedy space center in Florida is offering training course that costs $250 per person for the all day course which includes mission simulation in a real side shuttle and a VIP tour of the Kennedy Space Center.

sounds like an interesting experience to me especially that I will probably not read the moon or go to space.

  • Front and back cameras for video conferencing.
  • 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera

Billgate’s money can vanish..

9 06 2008
  • Bill Gates earns US$250 every SECOND, that’s about US$20 Million a DAY and US$7.8 Billion a YEAR!
  • If he drops a thousand dollar, he won’t even bother to pick it up bcoz the 4 seconds he picks it, he would’ve already earned it back.
  • The US national debt is about 5.62 trillion, ifBill Gates were to pay the debt by himself; he will finish it in less then 10 years.
  • He can donate US$15 to everyone on earth but still be left with US$5 Million for his pocket money.
  • Michael Jordan is the highest paid athlete in US.If he doesn’t drink and eat, and keeps up his annual income i.e. US$30 Million, he’ll have to wait for 277 years to become as rich as Bill Gates is now.
  • If Bill Gates was a country, he would be the 37th richest country on earth.
  • If you change all of Bill Gate’s money to US$1 notes, you can make a road from earth to moon, 14 times back and forth. But you have to make that road non-stop for 1,400 years, and use a total of 713 BOEING 747 planes to transport all the money.
  • Bill Gates is 40 this year. If we assume that he will live for another 35 years, he has to spend US$6.78 Million per day to finish all his money before he can go to heaven.
  • Last but not the least: If Microsoft Windows’ users can claim US$1 for every time their computers hang because of Microsoft Windows, Bill Gates will be bankrupt in 3 years!!!!!!

iTunes sells Arabic music!

5 05 2008

Earlier today I thought that I was searching my library for a song by Mohammad Abdu and all of a sudden i’m looking at the iTunes store. I realized that the iTunes store sells arabic music. thought I share this with you if you into arabic music and like to purchase your music instead of downloading them for me.

if anyone knows about this please let me know how can I find the listing of the Arabic albums on iTunes instead of manually searching for the artist or song, that could be a hassle with the way they spell in Arabic.
