This is a cute Microsoft Explorer commercial, very spot on. They captured the lives of the 90′s kids perfectly. I’m getting so nostalgic about the 90′s, even though I wasn’t a kid then anymore.

I’ve been in the US for a week now, and the first thing I needed here was Internet on my phone. We went to all three major mobile phone companies, and most don’t have prepaid Internet lines. Our only and beat option was AT&T’s GoPhone plans. I got a one month unlimited local calls and texts (including Mexico and Canada) for $50, and then added unlimited one month data (which I also use as a wireless hub for my both my Kuwaiti line iPhone and laptops) for just $25 extra. The process is easy simple, and takes 15 minutes at any of their branches.
There are cheaper options too, like just add $10 for a 1GB 1 month plan. The connection is way faster than ours for phone Internet, and almost snappy for laptop use. So if you’re ever in the US and need Internet on your phone, then just get this from AT&T.

The issue is way more serious than just posting about a few running-a-red-light violations [link] with names and dates.
It turns out that the same guy was also able to collect complete information of Kuwait University students (including bank accounts and home addresses), AND full information regarding legal cases and offences of people from the M.O.Justice (by generating their civil ID numbers).
This guy is rumoured to be an Egyptian working for our government, named Sameh Ahmad or something like that. On the bright side, it seems that catching this guy might be a semi-easy task (like 90% sure), only if the authorities decide to issue the relevant warrants and start investigating.
I got all this info. from the video I posted here. It’s a shame really that internet security expert, Abdulla Al-Ali, is an unpaid volunteer investigating all this on his own accord and initiative. I vote for the M.O.Interior to immediately hire him as an outside expert and consultant, and allow him to beef up their systems’ security.
This is some serious business here. We can’t have our personal, bank, and legal details exposed in the open like this. This is precisely why Americana and Europeans refuse to provide their governments with personal and important details without proper warrants. It’s because their information can be easily hacked and their privacy exposed and spread in the open. Or worse, be used in illegal activities and identity thefts.

Saudi Telecom co., Mobily, just announced that it will offer free data roaming in Egypt and the UAE for its data plan subscribers. Prices are very cheap compared to Kuwait: 1 Gb for kd 8, 5 GB for kd 17, and unlimited data usage for just kd 30. These packages are the local plan packages, with the added benefit of using them abroad.
When will be getting this in Kuwait? All of our local telecom companies operate in neighboring countries, so we should at least get GCC and Sham area coverages with Zain (Bahrain, Jordan & Saudi), VIVA (Saudi), and Wataniya (Qatar).

My DSL subscription ends at the beginning of March, in like a week or so. I usually go to InfoConnect to renew my annual subscription, but with the elections this year, I just didn’t have the time to do that. Also, I kept on hearing about all those wi-fi internet providers (like Mada and WIMD), and was like going to probably check one of them out, rather than renew my QNet.
However, I ended up being too busy to check anything out. So when I got the call from QNet to renew, I quietly nodded and asked for the details. Things turned out in my favor. I renewed my 4 Mbps for KD 218 a year, which is pretty much what it’s supposed to cost. But luckily, I was rewarded with loyalty points, like 15 points per kd.
These reward points will entitle me to either: double speeds of 8 Mbps during my subscription period, or free extra months (perhaps 4-6 extra free months). I wouldn’t know the details till the beginning of next month. But honestly, either way, it looks like I win.
So, here’s my advice to you. If you’re a QNet subscriber, and your subscription is about to expire, then give them a call and ask for special offer details.
