I found this link on Digg today morning. Its the funniest Steve Jobs keynote I have watched. In it he announced his new partnership with Microsoft and then goes and tells everyone how Internet Explorer was going to be the default browser on the Mac. What I found funny is the Apple crowd, everyone was like booing and screaming out “Noooo!!”, I can only imagine how fucked up the experience must have been to them back then. [Link]

This is a video of a BMW M3 racing against a chipped Porsche Cayenne Turbo in Kuwait. Notice that the M3 slams on the gas after the Porsche starts to accelerate. I love M3’s. [2.8MB WMV]

Someone sent me this video today morning. It seems there is a street in Dubai where cars were always speeding so one day they decided to add a speed bump to slow traffic down. Problem is people were still speeding not knowing their was a speed bump waiting for them. The video shows how some cars were flying over the speed bumps which is cool but you have to wait till the end of the video to see the Lamborghini nearly flip over which is hillarious. [589KB 3GP]

They really don’t make cars like they used to. This video of Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear team trying to destroy a Toyota Hilux proves how reliable Toyotas really can be. I only wish they tried the same tests with the new Hilux to see if it lasted as long or lasted at all. [Link]

I am back online from Starbucks. Seems my phone problem at home won’t get solved till work resumes on Sunday. Anyway I was just checking my email and I found a video of Geo which was sent by his breeder in Belgium. He looks really cool and bigger then I expected he would be. Check the video out. [MOV 460KB]

A friend of mine just sent me this video clip of a funny prank. Some guys from a tvshow tied a deer to a hood of a car and parked it outside a supermarket. When people pass the deer they would make it look like the deer is still alive and talking to them. Its a lot funnier then how I just explained it, just watch it and see.

Faisal sent me a link to this video showing a young child getting beaten and abused by his maid here in Kuwait. According to the person who originally posted the video this is the story:

“Recently a family in Abbasiya employed a female servant at their house to look after their kid. After a couple of days the kid turned gloomy and was always tired. With some doubts, the family put a hidden cam in their sitting room when they left to work. When they returned, they saw the video and they were shocked to see how the servant mistreating the kid.”

Here are a few tips by Knick on how to prevent incidents like this:

1. Get a telephone recorder which is avaliable in Hawally for KD 8-12 which records all incoming and outgoing conversations. A normal cassette is used to record.
2. Keep rooms that are not required by the maid locked.
3. Almost every houshold has a PC attach a webcam and place it in such a place that it monitors the entire room.
4. Dowload windows media encoder and install it to start monitering your house daily. (8 Hrs movie approx is 300 mb)
5. Spend quality time with your children, buy them small gifts every day in return for a report on what happenned during the day at home.
6. Love your kids, show them that you do and let them understand that you are always there to love and protect them.
7. In most of these cases the children are silenced by the maids who threaten them to tell the parents that he/she did this or that and they will be punished. Parents tend to go with the maids who are a different personality in their presence and punish the children. Children loose faith and confidence in the parents. Do not let this happen.
8. Children who undergo such traumatic experiences in their childhood tent to grow up with more complicated personalities, lack confidence and are effected mentally.

I got a video of some girls getting harassed by what I understood were some Saudi guys. The video was shot with the phone of one of the guys. I think I read about a similar incident sometime back in the papers but I am not sure if its the same incident. [3gp 1.1MB]

You have to see it to believe it. Two videos, one shot from inside the Mercedes SLR while the other from the outside. The Land Cruiser according to a commenter is pimped out with 4 turbos generating +800hp. Crazy shit.. [Link]

A website with the finest collection of TV commercials, and all free to watch. [Link]

Finally, this is so cool. [Link]

This video is not for the faint of heart. I think it was shot in Saudi Arabia of a car making stunts when everything goes wrong. Not very graphic but definitely shocking. [WMV 3.8MB]

Just found this website while looking for an old soccer commercial, it seems to have all of the popular soccer commercials I have ever seen and they are all downloadable for free. Very cool. [Link]
