Found this survival gear guide while browsing the web yesterday.

Our fears & fantasies have changed over the years. When thinking of zombie apocalypses, I too often think of what the world would look like. Is it worth surviving if you are in a constant state of fear like many of the Zombie movies and TV shows present characters in these situations? How would you remain hopeful in a situation that seems so hopeless? It seems the scariest thing to me about zombies is not that you have a chance of your brain being ripped out and torn to shreds by chomping teeth, but rather knowing a person you may have known is now that flesh eating zombie who has nothing human about them left. For me, the scariest thing about a zombie outbreak would be seeing the people I know and love turn into something without any humanity, something without life.

So be fully prepared to defend your own Humanity

Announced a few hours ago in Blackberry Live that the famous BBM Messenger is gonna be across platform app which means that iPhone & Android users gonna be able to simply download BBM from their App Store.

It’s a bold move from Blackberry to gain more users back on BBM but My initial thought that they are slowly killing themselves coz other than security Blackberry had this unique feature which now can be available on iOS & Android.

Yesterday out of boredom I searched #kuwait on Instagram and I hope I never did. All the pics were mostly out of Google, Cheap Ads, Food or texagram ( a stupid app for sharing Notes on Instagram ). Instagram gained a huge number of Kuwaitis since it launched and I won’t be exaggerating if I assume that more people are using it than Twitter nowadays. Twitter became a feed for sharing Instagram pics, with the huge amount of instagrams out there I thought that by searching #kuwait I would have been indulged by some awesome local pics but to my disappointment now I know anyone abroad searching for some images that represent Kuwait he will have a hard time finding a decent one.

Everywhere in Kuwait there is someone either posing for an Instagram pic or holding his mobile in a weird position trying hard to get the perfect short, not to mention all of those teens walking around in malls holding their DSLRs. All of the pervious observation and I would expect finding some decent pics when searching about Kuwait.

Of course I know no one would care about saving our country’s hash tag on Instagram by posting good pics, am I the only one who noticed this !!!

Would you even care about saving #kuwait???

Many have been taking the plunge into buying the Samsung Galaxy S4 without knowing some basic information about the device they are paying for. The Galaxy S4 comes in 3 different models, the Quad core model which come in 3G or LTE & the Octa Core model.

I asked a representative working in Samsung Al-Babtain about the available models here in Kuwait & most of the available models here are the Quad Core ones while the Octa ( 8 Core) model is gonna be available within a month or 2 at most.

How to distinguish between each model ?

The Quad Core 3G is Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4

while is the Quad core LTE is Samsung I9505 Galaxy S4

The Octa Core (8 core) model Samsung I9502 Galaxy S4

You should know which model you are getting before spending your money on something you probably dont want especially is you already own a Galaxy S3 you dont should not upgrade to the galaxy S4 unless you get the Octa Core model.

Check out the latest commercial from Nokia trying to promote the Lumia 920 (Windows phone) while making fun of Samsung’s fan boys who most of them dont know that it runs Android :p  and Apple’s addicts.

We have seen this kind of approach last year when all of Samsung’s commercial were about the iPhone & few years back when Apple made their PC VS Mac commercial series, could this kind of approach work for Nokia & Windowsphone ???

I don’t really see to where this country is going! “People” we’ve become Dumb, dependent & so annoying. YES the picture that were spreading yesterday about the new traffic laws is FAKE, note point #7 a “JORDANIAN Car” so someone with a below basic english language “he thought the word Jordanian is a verb.” & a lot of free time edited the picture &  swapped the currency and all.

An UGLY fact to highlight is that the host site of this picture is a STUPID, DULL & OUTDATED looks like “Official Governmental“ site called ; Q8hosp.info, i actually don’t know which is more annoying that the fact they posted this fake news in the first place or that they still have it live on their site, exactly at the middle of this page –> Here

How do you usually pay your mobile bills & Network’s provider subscribtions  ?

Do you waste your time going through different websites just to find a certain product & compare each one ?

Do you own a small business & couldn’t find an online payment method suitable for your customers ?

Im glad to announce that a new era for mobile payment has arrived. A new way to get away from all the annoyance mentioned above. We live in a mobile world where more than 35% of our time (according to some study) is spent using our mobiles & PCs and one of the most annoying things to do is sell & buy stuff online mainly because most of the local services don’t provide online payment through their websites, or if the do some are not user or mobile friendly, well thats all gonna change with TAP.

Last week we had a chance to meet Ali Abu-Alhasan One of the master minds behind  Tap, to get a preview of this new service that I believe gonna be a big hit in Kuwait. Aziz & I burned Ali with our questions and concerns & he answered all our question professionally & honesty. We are really proud of those awesome Kuwaiti developers behind Tap.

Tap is a web app that enables you to buy, pay your bills and sell your products/services online without the need to go to the official website of the seller. Whats really interesting about Tap is the ability to create your business/personal profile and start selling your products within minutes without the need to worry about security, all small businesses gonna benefit from this service and you the cunsumer are the beneficiary, paying your bills, subscriptions, buying stuff and browsing through various products while enjoying your coffee or being in your comfort zone.

Check the demo above and be amazed.

Tap is basically a web app which is much better in my personal opinion than a mobile app, you just log into it from you browser no matter what mobile you are using (iphone, Android, Blackberry) and thats the main advantage of a web app, just open your browser and you are browsing through an app-like interface. Tap will official launch on May 6th but the site is live now for you to preview.

Many have been asking me about the Galaxy S4′s price so here you go Galaxy fanboys check the prices down below. I must mention that the prices below are for the 3G model NOT the LTE plus no matter where you buy it from I would highly recommend getting Albabtain warranty cause I had a horrible experience with Wahran’s unprofessional workshop staff.

Its been a while since I’ve reviewed a game, so many great games have been released since the beginning of 2013, I couldn’t find the time to sink myself into their worlds, sometimes I wish a day consists of 36 hours so I may finish all the stuff needed to be done. I couldnt resist getting my hands on Bioshock Infinite 2 weeks ago. Crysis 3, Dead Space 3 and Tomb Raider were calling me when I was buying Bioshock but I held my hands over my ears, I know I wont have time to play them all, I had to pull myself away running away from the voices in my head screaming Dead Spaaaaaaace :-p

Any way back to Bioshock its a first person shooter with an extraordinary story, if you are unfamiliar with the Bioshock series then your missing alot especially if you enjoy deep video game stories. The story is so mind twisting I dare you if you can stop thinking about it even when you turn off your console.

The story takes place in the state of Columbia not Rapture as the first 2 Bioshock games (if you played Bioshock 1&2 you will know Rapture) supposedly its 1920 with a steampunk theme. The visuals and graphics are amazing but the way they developed this steampunk era was more than amazing actually its mind blowing somehow I wish that that era really existed.

The story is so intriguing  a weird BLEND  :-p  that would keep you looking for the truth and whats the reason behind all of this.  Gameplay not as hard as previous Bioshock games you duel guns and magic plus Elizabeth will help you during battle, dont ask me who is Elizabeth you have to know that by yourself.

Now go buy Bioshock Im 100% sure that its gonna be 2013 game of the year, if you get the PS3 version i would highly recommend getting the included Bioshock 1 bonus.

Mario, of Super Mario Bros. was just a plumber , he ended up a hero. But fame don’t last more than a game time!

Look around you, we are surrounded by famous people here & there on different disciplines & majors. We “Kuwait” daily produce more celebrities than the oil barrels “a little Exaggeration”. Some do deserve the fame n some don’t, it’s a comparative judgment at the end of the day (for example: To me, Kim Kardashian do deserve it while Paris Hilton don’t) but this is just me & my opinion…. i know i know my example is not that relative to “our” so said celebrities but,,, it’s my post oo KAIFI! & i will illustrate more on the next post (Stay Tuned it would be Super troll post!)

A true movie star will make its way down Mecum’s signature red carpet this May in Indianapolis. Known by most simply as “Eleanor,” the modified 1967 Ford Mustang from Touchstone Pictures’ “Gone in 60 Seconds” will cross the block as Lot S135 at Dana Mecum’s 26th Original Spring Classic auction this May 14-19. This collector car icon piloted in the movie by retired master car thief Memphis Raines, played by Nicholas Cage, is the real McCoy. Several cars were built to handle various duties in the filming of “Gone,” but this is serial number 7R02C179710, the “Hero” car driven by Cage during filming and the model used in movie close-ups, posters and promotional materials.

Built by Cinema Vehicle Services with the help of master designer Chip Foose, the body pieces of Eleanor were mocked up on a Mustang using clay and wood. Molds were then made to produce a new fiberglass front end filled with high-powered PIAA driving lights, new fender flares, side skirts and scoops, hood and trunk lid. To give the car big-screen performance, it was treated to a 351/400 HP Ford crate engine, which shares room with a front subframe body brace by Total Control Products, LLC. This progenitor of the Eleanor revolution is relatively untouched inside with the exception of an Autometer Sport Comp Monster tach, fire extinguisher, Go-Baby-Go shift knob button for Line Lock and a switch for activating a nitrous injection system.

“Eleanor has become one of the most widely recognized movie star muscle cars in the world, so when the decision was made to offer the ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ Hero car for sale, Mecum’s Spring Classic auction in Indianapolis seemed like the perfect venue,” commented Ray Claridge, owner of Cinema Vehicle Services. Set to be offered directly from the builder on Saturday, May 18 at the original, best and largest muscle car auction, this is truly the car that started it all.

Thirty-two hours of the Indianapolis auction will be broadcast live on Discovery’s Velocity Network with the entire auction streaming live on Mecum’s website at www.mecum.com. Mecum’s Indy auction is open to buyers, sellers and spectators. Gates open at 8 a.m. each day and general admission can be purchased at the door for $20 per person; children 12 and younger will be admitted at no cost.

For more information on the auction or to register as a bidder, visit www.mecum.com or call (262) 275-5050.

Its been a while since Blackberry z10 have been released and many having been having issues with migrating their contacts to the new Z10. What Im about to explain is not Z10 specific actually its the method i always use to keep my contacts synchronised across all my mobile phones which is pretty simple but unfortunately not explain much so no matter whether you are using a Blackberry, Android or iOS you may use this method to transfer your contacts between those platforms.

The first step you will need to do is to transfer all your contacts from your old phone to your PC or Mac using (iTunes, OutLook, Kies) depending on what you your old mobile is, its a bit of a hassle but trust it you wont have to suffer from it again.

Back on your PC open Outlook ( if you are using Windows) or Contacts application (if you are on a Mac) Go to File Export Contact vcf File. This option will export all your contacts in One file and please please try to remember where you are saving that file.

Now go to your email account, I prefer using an email account that you dont have Contacts already stored in it so you dont mix up your mobile contacts with email contacts. I would highly recommend using Gmail, OutLook or Live cause through my experience they work great with syncing. Go to your email account and choose the Contact tab and choose Import Contact , when promoted choose the file you have saved in the previous step.

Your contacts should be now saved on your email address and as you add your email to your new phone just choose to sync contacts & email

It might sound late to talk about the HTC One which got announced back in March but since I found out that many dont even know anything about it even the avid Android users who only care about the Samsung Galaxy S4 as if it was the only Android mobile out there. Ive always been a fan of HTC since windows 6 & 7 used to dominate the market, too bad HTC doesnt have a huge marketing campaign as Samsung or Apple does.

By the way this is not a review of the HTC One since its not yet available in Kuwait, I’m only highlighting the fact the there is another Android beast out there and not only Samsung Galaxy. HTC is famous for their extraordinary build quality and as an engineer I appreciate good material & build quality. The HTC One is made of Aluminium not cheap plastic as the Galaxy, also one of the key features of this device is the Boom sound which you may notice in the pics above that the HTC One have 2 speakers (Top & Bottom grills) oriented towards the user the give him the best quality of sound.

Did I mention that the screen resolution is 920×1080 ? and did I mention the fact that HTC was the first manufacturer to introduce the 1080 resolution back in 2012 with the HTC Butterfly and now they are doing it again with their latest device with a 4.8″ screen rather than the previous Butterfly’s 5″. This time HTC is driving the mobile industry with some new cool features like the Ultra Pixel camera, Boom sound & IR blaster.

To get the full spec of this beat click HERE, also check the video review below for a full review done by Engadget.

So do you still think that the Galaxy S4 is the only Android out there ?

I’ve started watching this series pretty late, well i caught up &  being following the episodes weekly now. currently It’s on the 3rd season.

If you like Zombies and all this stuff then this is for you. Basically it’s a black-and-white comic book story that has expanded its reach to television and video games now. To me this is a masterpiece with the brilliant script, excellent acting and even better direction. It got everything I’m looking for: drama, violence, relationships, comedy. Totally recommend it.

IMDB wrote:

Rick Grimes is a former Sheriff’s deputy who has been in a coma for several months after being shot whilst on duty. When he wakes, he discovers that the world has been taken over by Zombies, and that he seems to be the only person still alive. Having returned home to discover his wife and son missing, he heads for Atlanta to search for his family. Narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Zombies on arrival in Atlanta, he is aided by another survivor Glenn who takes Rick to a camp outside the town. There Rick finds his wife Lori and son Carl. Along with his partner and best friend Shane, he founds a small group of survivors who struggle to fend off the zombie hordes, as well as competing with other survivor groups who are prepared to do whatever it takes to survive.

Finally me fighting zombies day-by-day on my couch… Since Lost I had nothing but comedy series & top gear to watch; now finally I have some series to take my TV time for suspense and action…

How many traffic violators you may spot in 15 minutes ?

A couple of days ago I was stuck in traffic and as usual many idiots started using the Highway’s Safe lane to avoid wasting their precious time. It became an every day scene watching those freaks passing by the safe lane inorder to avoid traffic, those idiots are not more important than me and i can even bet you they dont have anything important to make them use the safe lane or their time in not more valuable than mine but I respect the road and others and it pisses me off just watching them stampede next to me.  So in a 15 minute traffic which is not that big a deal I started taking pics of them just to know how many idiots can pass by me so feed your eyes and watching how many dumba**es I found.

So what do you think & How many traffic violators you may spot in 15 minutes ???

Iwish simply the most annoying reality show you might ever come across in the arab world. I didnt get a chance to actually write about it cause each time i try to watch an episode it drives me mad, how shallow, untalented the participants are not to mention some of the judges.

We live in a community were the more you act like an expert even if you words doesnt make any sense the more follower you gain and if you throw an english sentence now and then in your conversation you are a sophisticated intelligent person even if you dont have the right accent. Im not denying that we have some talents here is kuwait but they are all over whelmed by the actors and shallow idiots around them.

Let me start by talking about 52 degrees a business that claims supporting youth and young talents while infact they are just feeding on their blood. Have you ever passed by 52 degrees?
I believe most of us have done that and ended up regretting it, just walking around their show room 90% of the products are way over rated, stolen designs or even freaken ugly and not even worth looking at not to mention the catastrophic price tags on them.

So here is how I think the idea of Iwish came to life, years have passes and 52 Degrees suffered from the lack of things to offer and they came up with the iwish idea, a reality show to promote them and remind people of 52 Degrees but it actually back fired at them and ended up highlighting everything that is wrong in our community and how some businesses support the untalented shallow actors who claim they wanna build their career. I dont wanna make this post long so I’ll end it here and make room for your comment to express what i have might not mentioned.

What do you think of iwish ????

We have all been there, driving in own car stuck in traffic fed up with listening to music and maybe looking for something more informative to listen to and feed our mind while wasting those minutes. We waste precious minutes of our lives driving, waiting inline, waiting for a friend to arrive, many minutes through the day get wasted and the first thing anyone does to waste time especially when driving is to turn on their radio and  start listening to some kind of horrible radio show no matter whether they like it or not and frankly between all the radio shows we have here in Kuwait I can only name a couple that really worth listening to, some are funny and some are just discussing whats going on in Q8 and the rest are cheesy horrible shows that should get banned. So what if you wanted to listen to a show talking about a specific topic that may intriguer your interest Technology, engineering, marketing or even just a video game show we dont really have this kind of shows, not to mention those horrible cheesy radio commercials that are all preformed by one guy who is always amazed and shocked by the latest offer from X company and the typical woman talking to her friend about X company offer. OMG those ads are so freaken horrible.

I know I went off topic with those ads but the solution that i was surprised many dont know is called Podcast, Podcast is a prerecorded radio shows inorder for you to get the latest news, reviews, general talk or even professional analysis of a certain topic some famous networks have their own podcasts like CNN, ESPN, Engadget, and many other. The purpose of a podcast is to feed your mind by listening to something that interests you or even entertains you in your own time you just download or even stream the episode to your mobile/laptop/iPod and listen to it whenever suits you. Ive been a podcast listener for 3 years now and Im so surprised that some dont even know what it is so i had to at least try to explain it in this post.

Many podcast apps are available in the Apple Store, Google Play Store & Blackberry World Store so to help you out and not make this post long I’ll mention my favorite Apps that I personally use and the same thing apply to all of them just open the app search for a certain topic that you like Football, Technology, Fashion or search for a certain network like CNN  and add it to your list and listening.

My favorite apps PocketCasts available on iOS and Android & if you are using Blackberry Z10 try Nobex and AntennaPod.

Do you agree with me that most of our radio shows are just cheesy and not worth listening to ????

Summer is just a few weeks ahead and I know summers means less movement and more calories to keep thinking of and accumulating. The past few weeks I gained some extra kilos with all the office work and not going to the gym cause I dont have time, usually I try my best to burn those extra calories through the day. Its been an annoying thoughts that has been going though my mind, while trying to find a solution I asked myself why not try the Nike Fuel band just to have some kind of measurement to motivate me a little or at least comfort my mind if I reach my goal I know its not a magical solution to burn calories or even help you burn, its just a way to track your activity though the day & its not 100% accurate.

Relax, set back & start thinking …

Actually, i didn’t want to talk about this for a start but noticing the raising number of “soft” or “delicate” men (or boys) around us made it hard for my nerves to not point this out. Reader, Have a quick tour on instagram, twitter, keek or even the malls and streets & you should understand what i’am talking about. I am not talking about those who are officially gay one’s, i am just referring to those boys who act like :

• My extremely wide V-neck T-shirt is classy  & unique “un-hairy chest showing”!!! WTF
• I speak french! DaCooh
• Yesterday I almost had a heart attack, my favourite orange! color pants was not ironed “Where could you find an orange pants for a start??!! LA SENZA??” ROFL
• I don’t do sport coz i don’t like sweaty me!
• Men makeup “enough said”

& many many more …

Am I the only one seeing & hearing this round?
