There is an interesting debate going between Gulf news technical writer Scott Schuey and users from Emirates Mac User Group (EMUG) about the article published by Scott on 7th june 2008 about Investing in a suitable computer system.

The users of EMUG started to discuss about that article “Gulf News answers the Question Should I buy an Apple Macintosh instead of a personal?”

Scott gave reply with another article on 14th June 2008 as “Live with it: Mac is not the greatest“.

Here goes the reply for the article by the EMUG users “Gulf News pissed with EmiratesMac”

The debate is going red hot, I am waiting for the next reply from Scott Schuey !!!

After watching Apple WWDC 2008 Steve Job’s keynote it is very evident that we will not get iPhone in this region any time sooner. In around 70 countries iPhone will be available during this year. One such country which does not get is United Arab Emirates. What is stopping Apple to expand their products to Middle. Every other company in the world is make U.A.E as their product’s distribution hub.

Seeing the performance of the application on an iPhone I am really thrilled to jump into Cocoa programming language. I am sure it is going to be a little hard to being with. That is there with all programming language. Why not give it a try..!!!

After hearing the new 3G iPhone there are so many number of people at my office who have an iPhone is ready to sell and to get a new 3G iPhone. It is mainly because of the new features like 3G, GPS, and enterprise solution it is offereing. I am praying so much that iPhone dev team comes up with jailbreak for the new firmware version

The comments posted bellow by lot of companies are not verified by imthi.com. If anyone is buying iPhone from these sellers imthi.com holds no responsbilty if there is any issues. Thanks for your support.

Today I was browsing through a web page which was translated using Google translator. I noticed a new tool tip over each sentences.

When you click on the link “Suggest a better translation” you get a textbox to give a new translation of the sentence.

Google is learning translation from the users. The translation engine will evolve based on the user input over the time

I bought Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones yesterday from Virgin stores. The sound quality is really good and it is loud and good to hear trance. It comes with 10 meters cord

“The Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones are a great pair of headphones that deliver high-quality sound at an affordable price. With 40 millimeter diameter, dome-type driver units and long-stroke diaphragms, your music will sound great. The MDR-XD200 driver units reproduce surprisingly-clear sounds at a wide frequency range (10-22,000 Hz). These substantial headphones feature neodymium magnets for greater power handling and higher frequencies. Five times more powerful than standard earphone ferrite magnets of the same size, neodymium magnets mean that the Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones maximize energy, while keeping size to a minimum. With these advanced technological features, the MDR-XD200 provides great sound without placing too much strain on your pocketbook.

With the MDR-XD200 Sony has taken special care to please both the audiophile and cinema-geek. The MDR-XD200 features a sound mode switch (music or movie) to more adequately match the sound source. With a simple flip of a switch, you can focus the headphones’ frequency range to make your music come to life or bring you that much closer to your favorite film star. Of course, Sony has not scrimped on comfort. The Sony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones feature an ear-conscious design with soft earpads for your long-lasting listening comfort. ” - From Amazon

The cost of the headphone is around 30$ (AED 109).

Long long ago I had this crazy Idea of building a bloggers directory. Then I started project i2blog.com with my brother Ravoof and friend Yogi. The idea of the project was to unite all bloggers by thier country, interest and zodiac. Which you might think really funny now since blogging and web has changed a lot in past few years.

The project first came live at 9th of April 2005. I was updating the website till I came to Dubai. After I moved to Dubai I migrated all my site from a hosting company to another one. During the migration some files got currupted and I was not able to restore the functionality of the site. Today I finally forced myself to update the site and to make it work.

I still have some crazy ideas to work on the site but the time is only factor. May be I should organize myself to get more time. I don’t want to stop working on this as it as good search ranking and it is already listed in dmoz directory.

Some screen shot of the website.

Two more Salik toll gates will be installed in Dubai - one each on Al Maktoum Bridge and between the First and the Second Interchanges on Shaikh Zayed Road. This was announced by the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

“The installation of the new toll gates comes as part of the second phase of the Salik system to regulate traffic on Dubai Roads,” said Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the RTA. The new toll gates will start working from September 9.

Recently Dubai RTA opened the new Al Garhoud Bridge with 14 lanes 7 on each side of the road. Al Garhoud Bridge will have a capacity for 16,000 vehicles per hour. This is such a great bridge. But the sad thing was no one was using it as it was having a salik gate in front of it. Everyone was using Al Maktoum Bridge. There is big traffic congestion on this side. Once the if the put this Salik gate if people wants to goto Shaikh Zayed Road they have to pay Salik.

Lot of discussion is happening everywhere that Dubai is taxing the people. I strongly believe that they are trying to make lot of people life’s better. This toll system is there in lot of major cities in the world where they want to control the traffic flow. Dubai is not the first in this. We should be happy that they are not up to the biggest toll gate or most no of toll gates in the world is in Dubai
