One of the things I look forward to when coming to Dubai is having a bite at FatBurger. I’ve been there before and I loved it. It’s tasty, fresh and light, I always end up ordering another one

The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match

I really enjoyed the movie, Morgan Freeman was just amazing in my opinion. This movies is highly recommended.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Acclaimed filmmaker Zack Snyder makes his animation debut with the fantasy family adventure "Legend of the Guardians," based on the beloved books by Kathryn Lasky. The film follows Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father’s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father’s favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd’s jealousy has terrible consequences–causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga’Hoole–Soren’s only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.

After Life

After a horrific car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna’s grief—stricken boyfriend Paul (Justin Long) still can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn’t what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side. With an unrelenting edge of menace, "After.Life" is a stylish psychological thriller which provocatively questions the line between life and death.

Iron Man 2

In the sequel, Mickey Rourke will play Whiplash, a character that includes elements from that comic book villain and Crimson Dynamo, another Russian baddie. Sam Rockwell will play Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, being played by a returning Robert Downey Jr.

I really looking forward to HP’s Slate ever since Steve Ballmer announced it back at CES (before Apple announced the iPad) but it went dark after that with only the word “to be released later this year”. Well, the words still haven’t changed but Adobe (not HP) released a video showing the devices capabilities, i.e RUNNING FLASH – take that iPad.

It shows the devise running a number of flash-based stuff (websites, videos and games) and it looks like its running very smoothly. The device itself isn’t bad looking either.

Come on HP, stop touting us and give us a damn release date will ya?

أحبط رجال الإدارة العامة للجمارك في ميناء الشويخ مساء امس محاولة قنصل سفارة كوريا الشمالية لدى البلاد تهريب طحين محلي مدعوم حكوميا الى خارج الكويت بعد شحنه في حاوية كبيرة مصدرة باسم احدى الشركات
وقالت مصادر امنية لـ «الراي» ان رجال الجمارك «اشتبهوا بإحدى الحاويات التي كانت في طريقها الى التصدير واكتشفوا أنها تحتوي على شحنة طحين ابيض مدعوم حكوميا، فتم حجز الحاوية التي حاول القنصل الكوري التوسط لإخراجها إلا أن طلبه قوبل بالرفض على اعتبار أن القانون يمنع تصدير المواد المدعومة حكوميا
وأضافت المصادر أن رجال الجمارك وبعد الانتهاء من تحريز كمية الطحين المهربة «رفعوا تقريرا الى الجهات المختصة لاتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة

The Oscars are in just a few hours, and I thought that ruining the ending of 50 movies including the 10 that are nominated for best Picture is the best way to go.

Warning:

They are called spoilers because they are going to spoil the movie. so if you are a movie junkie you probably wouldn’t want to watch this video. The only people that should watch it are those who don’t give a damn about the endings.

This video is circling the net like crazy at the moment. What do you think?

Stephen Fry Talks about the US prison system and reveals some astonishing facts.

This is a really cool use of the DSi’s camera, should be interesting.

This is Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda, a DSiWare game that makes brilliant use of the Nintendo DSi’s built-in cameras to control an in-game camera that lets the player explore a 3D diorama to find hidden objects.

This theme is one of the most cinematic scores in the history of gaming, which obviously matches the game to which its attached. Everything about this music screams “Play me I’m epic”, which it is.

Both Mark and Frankom posted about this a while ago. But because the weather was so nice yesterday i managed to take a picture while it was in the air.

Most comments on both blogs agree that it is used for surveillance. So be carful, big brother is watching.

And they wonder why they have the highest percentage of obese people in the world!!!

The happiest website on earth.

“JetBlue 171, contact departure,” the unidentified child told one flight.

“Over to departure, JetBlue 171, awesome job,” a pilot said in response. Then a man’s voice is heard: “That’s what you get, guys, when the kids are out of school.”

If i was flying an aircraft coming in or out of JFK and a child’s voice came over from the control tower,  i think i would be a little worried.

An air traffic controller at New York’s JFK airport has been suspended from work after allowing a child to direct flights in and out of one the world’s busiest airports.  The incident took place on February 17 and an investigation has been opened. The child is also recorded saying “Adios, Amigo” to a Mexican pilot leaving the airport.

Accidents can happen with traffic in the air by different planes, maintenance problems, weather etc….  and now children taking over air traffic control….

I am really liking the Wataniya prepaid internet/data “wnet” service, its easy and convenient.

I got the card for 5KD and had 3KD credit in it. And as soon as you launch a browser no matter if you are using a mobile phone or a PC, you will be directed to the page above where you can choose the package you want with a click of a button.

You can also recharge even if you don’t have any credit left the same way and buy clicking on the “Recharge Your Account” tab where you’ll get 2 options; recharge by Knet/Credit card or by prepaid vouchers that are available almost everywhere.

The other reason that I like Wataniya’s data service is that it is the only provider that has HSDPA coverage in my work building. Zain max-out at Edge and Viva has no coverage at all.

Currently, I’m using the sim card in my unlocked MiFi router and its working flawlessly. Also tried it in my Nexus One, worked great.

A guy that broke up with his girlfriend/fiancé or whatever made a video begging here to come back to him. Its just nuts.

Do you sometimes wonder why you get stuck in traffic thinking that there must an accident or something blocking the way but suddenly the roads open up like nothing happened?  Wonder no more, a team of Japanese scientists replicated the phenomena calling it the “Shockwave Jams”

The mathematical theory behind these so-called "shockwave" jams was developed more than 15 years ago using models that show jams appear from nowhere on roads carrying their maximum capacity of free-flowing traffic – typically triggered by a single driver slowing down.
