And the winner is…. (2010-2-15)

 
 As you can see I decided to buy the i-Pod Touch based on the overwhelming recommendations on this blog and from speaking to friends. Bought the 32GB version from Alghanim for KD112 (I had a KD20 voucher so paid KD92)- they threw in a free Philips CD/radio alarm clock (which also has a connector for [...]

iPod Classic or iPod Touch ? (2010-2-3)

After years of resisting the iPod - I have decided to make the switch. (I have a Sony MP3 Walkman which I bought a couple of years ago and a Creative player before that by the way) . The switch is long overdue I hear some of you say. Yes, I would agree. It all started when I [...]

Stress Free Packaging (2009-11-16)

 

One of the things that annoys me is the plastic packaging they use for many small electronics. You know the type that is vacuum sealed in plastic and it is almost impossible to remove without the help of a specialized tool ? I mean what is the point of making it so difficult to open?
So I was very [...]

I Want One ! (2009-11-11)

I have been reading about the  Squeezebox radio by Logitech (above) and it has to be one of the coolest gadgets I’ve seen for a while. Basically its a portable internet radio which connects using the wi-fi signal in your house. So you can listen to any radio station from around the world via the internet without having to [...]

I Think I’ve Found The Right Smartphone ! (2009-10-23)

It’s not revolutionary, its not cutting edge, but I do think I have finally found the right smartphone for me. I’m going to jump on the Blackberry bandwagon and go for the upcoming Blackberry Bold 2 (or Blackberry 9700 as its officially known).
The phone is an improvement on what is the best Blackberry out there [...]

Two New Smartphones (2009-10-18)

As some of you may already know I’ve been looking to make the switch to a Smartphone but can’t really decide which one. I’ve had a look at the I-phone which I think is not worth the money and recently I’ve been leaning towards the Blackberry, but waiting for a new model to come out. Well [...]

Ridiculously Expensive Gadgets (2009-7-31)

I was telling one of my friends recently that I didn’t think that the new I-phone 3GS was worth the KD 320 its selling for in Kuwait. So you can imagine my view on the I-phone in the photo which costs over $2.5 million! The handset is made with white gold and is encrusted with [...]

Nespresso Coffee (2009-7-26)

 After my disappointing coffee experience at Coffee Republic at 360 Mall I thought I would go and visit the Nespresso shop on the 1stfloor of the Mall. I already knew that Nespresso sell machines for the home that make proper Italian espresso coffee in 30 seconds. The beauty of their machines is that it is [...]

How much does a meeting cost ? (2009-7-20)

 
Ever been sitting in a long ass meeting wondering how much is this costing the Company? Well there is now no need to try and work it out. I found out a cool little tool which they should  introduce in most companies. That will stop meetings that drag on for hours…
Just click [here], fill in the [...]

The I-Tie (2009-7-12)

I can’t believe someone thought about this. A couple of guys have invented a tie which can store an i-pod (and other stuff like cigarettes or cards) at the back of it.  They’ve also added a white piece of fabric which fixes to the last couple of buttons of the shirt so the tie always [...]
