Very entertaining to watch. Personally I can’t keep a yoyo going if my life depended on it. [YouTube]

Thanks Nand

I posted a couple of days back about how AlQabas newspaper stole an image from a Bahraini blogger and published it in the newspaper. Well just an update, Aysha the blogger will be contacting a lawyer who will be sending a letter to AlQabas. Depending on the response they get they will then decide what action to take. Personally I am curious to see what the outcome of this will be.

On another note, I emailed the editor of Arab Time asking him if he was aware of various cases in which they copy pasted posts from local bloggers into their newspaper without giving any credit. I haven’t gotten a reply yet.

This is pretty insane. [Link]

There is a guy in Kuwait called Sa’ad who seems to be a pizza fanatic. He recently submitted his pizza ingredients to Serious Eats and ended up getting featured there which is pretty cool. You can check out the post and pictures by clicking this [Link]

In Kuwait we’ve got the Facebook Cafe while in Lebanon it seems they have the Facebook Pub. Spotted this today in front of a nail salon called Hotnail.com (seriously).

A Bahraini blogger called Aysha was surprised to find out that not only did Al-Qabas newspaper steal one of her pictures and publish it in the newspaper but that the picture they stole was a picture of herself. She was completely shocked and surprised to find her picture plastered in Al-Qabas and now wonders if there is anything she can do. She has a full write up on her blog which you can check by clicking this [Link]

Sadly I doubt there is anything she can do about this and we all know this isn’t the first time that Al-Qabas uses pictures without permission.

What’s probably stranger than these cards is the fact that people still send Ecards… [Link]

I always forget how terrible the Internet is in Lebanon until I get here and then I either want to throw my laptop out the window or save myself from this misery and jump out myself. I can’t live like this!

Update: Ran a SpeedTest and ended up with the results above

I’m going to be in Beirut for the next 10 days enjoying the sun. As usual I’ll still be posting from there. I’m taking my GF1 with me so expect a lot of pictures.

A reader sent me the picture above of the iPad with the WedgePad. I hadn’t heard of the WedgePad before but I think I am going to get one now since it makes the iPad cozier to use. At $27 with free shipping it’s also a pretty good deal. [Link]

Thanks FYI
