iPhone 3G "does the 3G network really work"

People,

This doesn’t get any better, The New iPhone 3G from Apple inc.
The latest technology in mobile phones, a break through internet device and a music and movie player offered from the technology of the iPod.

This Break through device offers a lot that other phones are dragged behind it.
The New iPhone 3G, the New means of mobile communication.
I personally am a big Apple fan, since ever i work on Apple computers i bought this amazing phone not to long ago.

I personally thought that its just another over advertised propaganda for people to buy i was wrong.This phone not only offers the best digital service it also offers the best multimedia functions built into a piece of plastic and glass.
Touch screen ability with
Apple introduced not to long ago and free software download from www.apple.com
for developers to develop amazing applications to go to your iPhone 3G.

Now simply you can go on your iTunes store and purchase the best applications offered in the market for consumers.
Games, GPS maps, Banking and financing you name it and you got it.
Some applications are for free, some are priced at USD$ 9.99

So the question is why this phone is so unique to the people.
A little number and the letter G, 3G technology.

3G offers high data transfer from your internet source wether your connected to the internet through a wireless network or on your Data from you service provider.

The only problem occurs is that a lot of AT&T iPhone customers have sent various complaints in the first month to Apple and AT&T complaining that surfing the internet with your iPhone 3G, is slow not as accepted from Apple.
In Canada Rogers and Fido, are the Exclusive sellers of the iPhone 3G, using this phone on there network is absolutely amazing since they actually do provide a 3G network the only problem is that AT&T do they actually have a 3G data Network ?
It doesn’t look like it.
The iPhone 3G is now selling all over the world and a lot of different service providers are offering this break through device.

Now the problem with Rogers and Fido is that they are the same company and the other issue is, How much you actually pay.
Yes, they do offer 3G data network but you will pay a lot and i mean a lot.
Starting at 100MB a month for data internet. After that you pay 50 Cents per 1 KB.
You do the math.Now AT&T give you more data plans and better prices, but the problem is that its been showing that AT&T might not have a actual 3G network.

     .........................................................................



Samsung,

Samsung have recently released there latest phone a copy in technology of the iPhone.
Most features are the same but there are minor differences,
If you want a cheap data plan that you have more than 100 MB then go for the Samsung.
basically i don’t see a lot of difference Size thickness and touch screen ability all the same and 3G technology with bluetooth.
The only things i couldn’t find in the samsung that are available in the iPhone are,
iTunes, Application store, wireless network.

These are of course exclusive standard features from Apple.

Samsung offers, Youtube, GPS and many of the same features.
I would recommend it for people in countries that do not have an exclusive seller for the iPhone as it will be worthless coming down to if something happens damages or defaults no one can fix or replace it no warranty covers it and if you will have to Unlock it every time you update the software.
The other thing that if you do not have a Service provider that provides plans for the iPhone than you are using it basically like using a ipod touch but with 1 extra feature that you can make phone calls thats about it.
The reason is that you need a internet data plan and a text messaging data plan and many other plans that need to be registered to you iPhone.
Basically using a iPhone in Kuwait is not that much of features offered and especially for the iTunes and applications store you cannot purchase anything if your outside USA, Canada, London and most of the countries that provide services for the iPhone.
Using an iPhone in Kuwait is just to show off :) aren’t we all good in this sport.
I call it a sport to show off its a competition with out votes, something similar to American idol but with looks and accessories.

anyways if you have a iPhone, Samsung, Nokia or anything that calls and your are satisfied than enjoy it while it lasts.

Cheers,

Cinema's in Kuwait K-Town "Let The Show Begin"

People,

Back again... Not trying to be negative just trying to be honest...

The cinema... 

Kuwait is a quick developing country at a quick pace.

There is a lot of touristic attractions to people who admire the desert,

We don't enjoy clubbing and drinks in Kuwait but we do enjoy the night life.

There is a lot to do in Kuwait, besides work or school.

Night life is a tradition to most teenagers, Shopping mall's, Fancy Restaurants, Brand name shopping, Cinema's and much much more.

When you decide to go to a movie in Kuwait there is one advantage better than cinema's in the United States of America.

In Kuwait's Cinemas you get to select your seat upon purchase of your ticket that means even if you go in late you can sit in the seat you pre selected. 

In The United States, you have to go early to select your seat if you go in late 5 min after the movie started you most probably well get the worst seat ever.

Kuwait has a high end quality in Cinema's. The newly built cinemas are being well designed with V.I.P Booth's and private screenings.

Cinescape also known as KNCC, Kuwait National Cinema Company is the only Cinema Company in Kuwait.

Kuwait is a small country usually smaller than most States in the United states of America.

The Kuwaiti market is to small for other Cinema Companies to open and another reason is that Cinescape has theaters in almost every Shopping Mall in Kuwait as well as Theme parks and many more various places, I am surprised that they haven't opened a theatre in the Airport.

Another reason that another cinema company is not opening in Kuwait is because, the current owners of Cinescape have good connections and are not allowing others to open cinema companies and license them.

So i say its fare as the market is small and its not fare as they have the power to control the market.

Yes, Cinescape are indeed making good progress as well as a hell lot of money but the issue is have you been to a cinema theatre in Kuwait to watch a Movie?

If yes, Then you know that if there is a Kiss or a adult scene it has been removed from the movie. 

How is it removed you may laugh but its true i have been up in the screening room and i have seen the way they cut the scene.

Movies in cinemas are obviously not on DVD and they are hard to edit, so the process is quite crazy and funny as well.

They watch the movie and see witch scenes should be cut, they then write the time of frame shown on a time frame screen. 

Movies in the cinema are on a 4K film strip, they fast forward the movie to the section the want to cut, they then bend the film from the begging of the section until the end of the section they want to cut, usually called (Key frame) they do it the old fashion way either with a piece of scissors or a blade they cut the frames out.

If Not using the old tools there is a device usually referred to as the Cutting device. 

It usually looks like a cutting board that you use to cut pieces of paper, usually a big board and a blade attached to the end of it.

 

A film strip is usually similar to a old fashion still camera film each image is on a single frame and hundreds of images are for each second of the movie, so they usually cut out hundreds of frames to remove the scene they want.

Now how do they glue back the film together ?

They use Nail polish !! Yes the same nail polish that women use to color there finger nails.

They put a little nail polish on each side of the film and they attached them together, wait until they dry and they are done they have removed the scene.

When i go to the Cinema to watch a movie do i pay my money to expect a scene to be removed ?

i usually don't like to watch much movies in the Cinema's of Kuwait. 

In this small scene that they cut there is thousands of things i can loose, like for example if its a thriller and the killer is confessing to someone that he killed, which might be one of the most important scenes of the movie, and in this scene the killer might be kissing someone.

To bad you wont able to see it there was an innocent kiss and it has been cut out, you usually leave the movie not understanding why the killer has killed. Cheers smile you just watched a movie in a Kuwaiti Cinema.

Now there is another issue. 

To me i don't mind it but some bloggers and some people i know have brought up this subject and asked me to comment about it, I will.

Cinema's in Kuwait are a bit different as i mentioned before, The bachelors sit alone in the front and then there is the family section which is above the Bachelors. 

Now i think this is not a big problem its much better and safer for stalkers or who ever i mean you wouldn't like to be with your family in the cinema and a guy sits next to you doing weird stuff in the dark, cause i sure wouldn't like it.

But i still consider it unfair for bachelors to sit in the front which means that they get the worst seat, its like torturing them for being a bachelor. 

If you think it's that bad then separate the Theatre in half on the left side bachelors and the right side families instead of making it Bachelors in the front and families at the back.

Some cinemas in kuwait not all but some a very few have made this change and made bachelors  sit on the right side and the families on the left side, but again thats a few not all so why not all the cinemas to be changed in this manner.

The other main issue is that the prices of the ticket's went up !!!! 

WHY ????

no one has the answer, the prices went up just because they said so.

When the first cinema opened in Kuwait it opened in 1954 with a capital of 7 million Rupees (the old currency of Kuwait). Current currency Kuwait Dinar, KD.

The prices of the tickets at those times started at 500 Fils. which is equivalant to USD $1, 50 Cents.

Then the price went up in 1995 when the Cinema expanded and there was 11 theaters in total through out Kuwait. The price went up to 2KD 500 Fils.

Now the price is 3 KD almost USD$ 11.

Except Monday's the price goes down to 1 KD 500 fils. again Why Not !!

Why ? No one knows probably the reason is because of the prices inflation in Kuwait. All the prices went up so the Cinema executives decided to inflate the prices as well.

And again why not, Smile your watching a movie in a Kuwaiti Cinema, half the scenes are cut and bachelors are sitting at the worst seats and paying 3 KD.

The last subject about the cinema i am going to talk about today is the Spokesman or in other words, the front cover representative.

With out mentioning any names, I am going to mention a little story that actually happened not a very long time ago.

This person was the head of the cinema as CEO as some relative of his owned KNCC Kuwait national cinema company.

The company was then sold to new owners and new share holders and board directors. The company was re named from KNCC to Cinescape.

This CEO was fired from the new management, he did not accept the idea of him being fired for his reputation and for many other reasons mainly to stay in the spot light that he owned the cinema.

He had no idea that KNCC will be sold to a new management by his relatives. He walked in to his office at KNCC and saw a Thank you letter with a Termination letter to go with it.

He left the office booming to his relative who sold the Cinema.

A huge argument took place, after that the old owners and Board members of the old company KNCC called up the new members and added a new agreement to the contract that this old CEO will remain at the company.

The new management didn't mind it but they did make a little change. From CEO of KNCC to Cinescape's Front image Representative.

I hope he is enjoying his new position.

The only problem with this subject is that he has no knowledge of the Cinema business and he is one of the people to decide which scenes should be removed with a team of 12 who none what so ever understand anything about the film and cinema industry.

So you might as well watch the movie in a cinema outside of Kuwait.

Enjoy it and remember popcorn and pepsi are the best diet when watching a movie in the Cinema :) 

Cheers, 

Long Live Kuwait, The Ameer, and The People of Kuwait with our Flag raised high above our heads.

Is This What We Want? The Freeze of Kuwait.

People, 

Usually people recognize this matter as a joke. 

is it a joke ?

i am not laughing.

Wondering what i am talking about. 

Kuwait.

Kuwait is a State a country in the Gulf region in the Middle East.

When you say Kuwait to Westerners they say OIL.

The first thing that comes to anyone's mind when you say Kuwait is OIL.

The Oil rich country Kuwait has a population of 3.1 million and an area of 17,818 km2.

Kuwait was on of the leading countries in oil production and one of the most advanced countries in the Gulf and the Middle east region. 

When i say Advanced i mean in technology, Democracy, and much more.

August 2 1990 Iraqi troops Controlled by the Devil Advocate the buried Saddam Hussain, invaded the Free State of Kuwait.

Killing Every living thing in front of them and setting the country 20 years back.

The Kuwaiti Dinar (the currency) was dropped.

The Kuwaiti Economy was abandoned for 7 month during the time of the invasion.

Kuwait was liberated 7 Month later, nearly 700 Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze by the retreating iraqi army resulting in a major environmental and economic catastrophe.

Kuwait has the world's fifth largest proven oil reserves and is the fourth richest country in the world per capita.

Kuwait's oil fields were discovered and exploited in the 1930's and after it gained it independence from the United Kingdom in 1961, the nation's oil industry saw unprecedented growth. Petroleum and petroleum products now account for nearly 95% of export revenues, and 80% of government income.

After the Liberation of Kuwait, The country was re build and set back on track in a very short time. A new currency was born, New government, buildings, houses and so on was all re build to set the country back to as it was advancing its technology and education for the youth of Kuwait for future generations.

What we as Kuwaiti citizens were not expecting was the freeze of Kuwait

For a sudden not understood reason Kuwait has frozen in many ways.

The stock market has crashed and has been down for a very long time. Kuwaiti rights has been taken, what i mean by rights as Kuwait is the first democratic country in the Gulf region Kuwaiti citizens cannot express what they need as citizens of Kuwait.

The government appointed a national assembly with representatives in every district to provide a better Kuwait for the citizens and to hear there voices and needs and take the matters that concern the government to the National assembly and help the citizens of every district in Kuwait.

Unfortunately this matter is a false matter, Kuwait is a great nation with great expectations for the future coming Youth of Kuwait. 

The National assembly is been appointed for personal matters. 

Every representative of the National assembly has entered for personal matters and to personally benefit not to help the Citizens in there needs and to hear them out to take there needs to share it with the Officials of the country to make it a better Kuwait.

Kuwaiti citizens were promised a better future, is there a future?

Kuwait's revenue has been transferred for personal accounts not for the government and its people.

The prices of Kuwait has stuck up almost 70% higher what was 1 KD is now 1.750 KD 

is this what the kuwaiti citizens want is this what they need is this how we can walk into a better future and make it an advanced country.

We have heard about the city of silk since 1960's its 2008 and still they have not started to build this dream city called City of silk (madeenat al hareer).

How can we make this a better country how can we educate the coming youth.

Instead of investing in Kuwait the large investors are investing outside of Kuwait and leaving Kuwait as it is.

When Shaikh, Hamad Sabah Al-Ahmad AL-Sabah (the son of the current Prince of Kuwait), Invested in Kuwait and Made extreme changes in Kuwait what did he get in return a thank you? No he was questioned of exceeding the limit of building on the sea side. By who ? Who questioned him ? Muslam Al Barrak and other Members of The Kuwaiti Parliament (National Assembly) Majlis al Umma.

Where is this going Until When and is This what we want.

Ahmad AL Shohomy another EX Member of the Parliament, Questioned 4 different minsters unfortunately the ministers were all members of the Kuwaiti Ruling family AL-Sabah.

The reason he did that because he was backed by other members of the Ruling family and those members did not approve the certain Ministers to be in there current positions.

Who suffers ? The Kuwaiti People have to suffer while people on the top of the branch sit watch and enjoy the show.

The National assembly to my point of view has turned into a Muppet Show for certain people with power to control the Assembly.

A Muppet show or in other words a better phrase, a Chess Game.

I wonder who the King and Queen are?

This is The Current Kuwait and this is what we as Kuwaiti Citizens Have to Live with. 

We enjoy it, We like it, We got used to it.

You Break the Law if You Break the Law and Get punished by The police Smile because the minister of interior will get questioned in the National assembly on National TV.

Smile, Is this What We Want ?
