Tim Ferriss discussed, at the The Next Web 2010 event in Amsterdam, how to deal with haters, how to benefit from them as well. Here are some ideas that Mashable listed after they interviewed Tim. Quoted from Mashable of course. “1. It doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it. What matters is how many people do. “It’s Continue reading Dealing with haters Speaking of silly ads, just what is Microsoft Saudi Arabia thinking with this advertisement for Office 2010.
If you care about Arabic speakers why don’t you make ARABIC OFFICE FOR MAC ALREADY? Originally posted Continue reading Stupid MS Office ad in Arabic A lot of sites are claiming that Twitter is blocking #flotilla from the Twitter trends. But let’s be honest, “Flotilla” is a dictionary word and my guess is that the Twitter trends algorithm avoids “dictionary words”. Instead #freedomflotilla should be used. It’s a composite and as you noticed it’s already the first on Twitter trends after less Continue reading Twitter trends did not block #Flotilla – use #FreedomFlotilla  It never ends, does it? The following photo of Mohammed Abed Al-Jabri (Ar: محمد عابد الجابري), who died recently, was taken in 2009 by Fahd Alhazmi (فهد الحازمي).
The photo was taken during Riyadh Book Fair 2009 and posted here. Interesting note about the original photo, Mohammed’s eyes were closed and Fahd has edited the photo Continue reading More plagiarism from the Saudi mainstream media Good timing especially after the unfortunate things that happened here (Arabic post) but not here (English version). The issue of Arabic content and intellectual property is serious.

It starts with copying Continue reading Arabic discussion about intellectual property Update (26 April 2010): AlEqtisadiah has removed the article, nothing more. You can still find it if you searched for the cached version. Search for: cache:http://www.aleqt.com/2010/03/22/article_367381.html . Update 2 (24 May 2010): AlEqtisadiah finally admitted and published a note about it here. It is disappointing to see stuff like this. A well known Saudi newspaper published a plagiarized Continue reading AlEqtisadiah newspaper publishes a plagiarized article (Now Deleted) Apple has previewed their next iPhone OS, make sure to watch the video. As a member of the iPhone developer program I have access to iPhone OS 4 beta and got to try it. Of course I can’t talk about the details in respect of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) I agreed to when I signed up. I Continue reading iPhone OS 4 OHAI, I didn’t see you there. I guess I was still laughing. I have been extremely busy with a lot of stuff including SaudiMac of course. I guess I have a few things to ramble about: SaudiPad I got my Apple iPad finally. Bought it from the Apple Store and shipped via MyUS. A word of advice: don’t Continue reading iPad in Saudi Arabia and some rambling  Someone told me that once. I think it’s true. I am sad to see that this original post by Youssef on March 31st pictured here:
Was copied (I decided not to put a link to the plagiarized article) in this post on April 2nd. I will just put a picture instead of linking:
I am sad for Continue reading Plagiarism is Hilarious! |
