Streaming live news from the USA and around the world. Pretty nifty. [Link]

When will this stop? A regular combo used to cost KD1.750 a few years ago at Gulf Royal Chinese in the Marina Mall food court and then they increased the price to KD1.950. Now they’ve increased it again and the new price for a regular combo with coke is KD2.250.

Amazon just dropped the price of the Xbox 360 HD DVD player to just $79! Thats really really cheap!! [Amazon Link]

The reaction of the American guys taping the fight is hilarious. [YouTube]

I really like the old Sadia commercial above. Even though its really old I still remember watching it as a kid. Below are two more commercials I found. The Sakhr one I hadn’t seen before and I didn’t find interesting except for the fact its a Sakhr commercial. The last one is an Indesit commercial and I found it really funny but probably for all the wrong reasons.

For some reason I always thought Rainbow Brite’s horse (Starlite) was a unicorn. [Link]

From all the online dessert/munchies stores that are opening up in Kuwait this has to be the strangest one so far. I was checking out the blog Some Contrast today when I found out about an online store here in Kuwait that makes and delivers flavored popcorn! They deliver popcorn to your house.. thats nearly weirder than the idea me and Nibaq came up with for selling flavored banank online! [Link]

I am not a big American Football fan but one thing about the Super Bowl I look forward to are the commercials. Advertising Age have collected all the ads from this years Super Bowl and have arranged them in alphabetical order. You can check them out by clicking [Here]

My advertising agency (JWT) is currently looking to hire a Senior Art Director and an Arabic Copywriter. If you’re interested send me an email and I will get back to you. [Email Me]

Talk about cheap, Jazeera Airways has an offer where you can buy tickets from Kuwait to either Beirut, Dubai or Bahrain for just KD1. Even when you add the taxes thats still really cheap. [Link]

Update: For the non believers, here is proof you can find tickets for KD1

Best Buy Kuwait, the fake Best Buy in Hawalli have the tiny Asus Eee laptops for sale and they are being sold for KD159 which is KD50 more expensive than Amazon. Its really sad how they’ve blatantly copied Best Buy’s logo and name. If it was a crappy shop I could care less but they do actually have a decent collection of stuff so they should also put the effort in coming up with a better name for the place.

First the Spice Girls and now this. According to People magazine NKOTB are going to make a comeback 15 years after they split up. I guess Take That is next. [Link]

Info & Connect 2008 will start from tomorrow the 3rd of February and last until the 9th. If you are planning on renewing or getting a new Internet connection this would be the best type time since all the ISP’s usually have offers at this exhibit. I tried checking the Info & Connect website for more details but its currently not working which is ironic. Location for the exhibit is Mishref Fairground Hall 4. [Link]
