I hope at least they reply. Nice design

I tried to contact with Twitter HQ by emails, but I got nothing. As you all know, Twitter can not generate money with their service, so instead of that they start building another websites to support their service. I was thinking what will happen if Twitter increase their letters from 140 to 240 or 280 maximum. Many users will not use the service and because it is 140 only, talky people won’t use it because 140 is not enough for them. 

What I was thinking about is to let users buy more letters. Anyone uses twitter to market to some products or websites will buy more letters to deliver the message clearly to the followers. Let say the extra 140 letter will cost you 0.25$, and you can use them all by one tweet, or separate the letters as much you want. Let say I have more than 10,000 followers and less following, and I can sell these letters to advertising companies for more than 0.25$ .. that makes me happy, and advertising companies find a new way to advertise.

 I sent another email to Twitter last week, and still I still nothing.

Did anyone use Kuwait post to send anything ? I did it. It is amazing and fast for letters, but to send packages or something else, I didn’t try it. With 250Fils you can send a letter to anyone in the world, except Israel. I went to Aramex to send a tiny letter to someone in Syria for my eBay staff, and they asked for 18kd. In addition, they will take another 3kd from the receiver. There are many services provided by Kuwait Post: click here. For shipments, 5KD to Arab countries, and 6.5kd for another countries. I know you can’t trust them, but at least try it. It is amazing.

Every event from Apple, I remembered this show, specially this part. The Apple man is Steve, and the ice cream some stupid staff like iPad. If you need some money Apple, you can ask for it. Don’t make stupid movements like iPad, and don’t be shy because I know you are loving the look of a dollar more than the Apple logo. All you have a name, and you trying to make more money of this name. An apple helped Isaac Newton to find gravity, but I think it will lead to hide the iPad in future, because it is a shame.

Yesterday, I recevied my 5kg package from DHL. I paid 12.5KD for duties, for these fees:

1. Stamp Fee – 1 KD
2. Global Clearing System charges – 3.5 KD
3. Bayan Fee – 5 KD
4. National Aviation Services – 3 KD

and 26KD for DHL. What I thinking there is something wrong and I don’t know this wrong from DHL or Kuwait Customs. In January, I received a shipment and they considered it as a commercial quantity, so I have to do the declaration process by myself. I paid more than 50 KD to declare a 500$ shipment and It was commercial quantity. But, in my DHL shipment I think the customs started to deal with each shipment alone, not like the old days .. all shipments are one shipment in the papers.

As I know, no taxes for personal shipments, but what the hell with customs? Because when you order something to your mailbox here in Kuwait, you get it for free .. and they just call you to pick it up from Kaifan, but the problem I can’t trust them because of my friend and his 600KD UNSEEN shipment.

NEXT: Macbook Pro Review .. this one for Faisal

In previous weeks, I was looking to many reviews about MacBook Pro and the new iMac 27. I’m still kinda lost which one to choose, Macbook Pro 15 for 2399$ or iMac 27″ for 2399$. I’m thinking in Macbook Pro to help me in college, but I hate laptops a lot, because of my previous experience with Acer. I am a PC user for a long time, and I tried Mac for one time only.

So, which one is the best for me. iMac comes with Quad-Core 2.8 GHz i7 Intel Processor, 8GB Ram, and 1TB drive. I know these specifications can rock my graphics world, but there is something hidden which is shipping cost to Kuwait. It will cost me approximately around 80 to 100kd with DHL. In fact, I’m afraid of facing problems with iMac. Many people are facing a Flickering Screen problem with their iMacs.

I don’t know if Apple solve this problem or not, but I think I won’t buy something big from outside Kuwait, because if this happen here in Kuwait, I can easily take my iMac to the retailer and break it on salesman head. A friend of mine and twitter follow Hussaindo, recommended to order Macbook Pro, but even I hate laptops keyboards It doesn’t come with Arabic keyboard which will costs me around 70 to 90kd to replace the keyboard to Arabic one. In fact, I can resell this Macbook Pro easily if I won’t like Mac or to buy iMac.

So, which one you will take?

A picture can describe more than words, in 13 years we can see the change by credit. Dubai is boring show that based on insanely increasing which led to a crisis. Sometimes, I think Dubai like a psycho person who need a shrink to help him in this complicated life, and whats happen to Dubai is the same. They don’t know the meaning of the word “Transparency”. All they care about is The media, the real weapon of Dubai.

We all know the principals of accounting, we all know we can’t take loans if you don’t have assets that covers your liabilities. But, in Dubai they don’t have this equation of accounting because they care about the media more than the reality.  When you want to build anything, you will start how to build it then you think about how it will be look. In Dubai, all they care how it will be look. They want to showoff, not to build a real economic community. They left everything to God’s will. God gave you a mind to think, not let everything to God.

When the financial crisis attacked US, in Dubai they pretend that they in good situation, and the Financial Crisis would not effect them. The whole world take decision to face this crisis, except Dubai. They did not face the facts because they know what the results of facing these facts. A 59$ billion as a debt is a huge number for a state that do not have any assets to cover this debt is a risk to many banks. The Financial Crisis started because of the mortgage in United States, but in Dubai: In Building Skyscrapers. There are some news about the oil of Dubai won’t last for next 10 years, Where is the money of oil?

I am not a financial analyst (I will graduate soon to be FA), but I can read the facts that shows Dubai will fall. Increasing insanely leads to fall insanely. I think what will happen to Dubai is that they will lose more than their loans. I think we should name Dubai: The State of Credit. or, Debt Utilization By An Insane.
