Yahoo Acquires Maktoob

TechCrunch reports that Yahoo has agreed to acquire Maktoob, more here.

It seems the deal is worth $85 Million, for 20 Million Maktoob users. This means that Arab Internet users are worth just a little above $4.

When Microsoft bought Hotmail back in 1998, it was purchased for $400 Million and had 9 million users. Meaning one user was worth just above $40 for Microsoft.

Bedouin Man on a London Tube

A bedouin man on a London tube singing nonchalantly without care, just chilling on the london bus. I love how the stiff upper lipped british passengers are ignoring him as if nothing was going on.

Dishdasha Dilemma

A problem that is perplexing one half of the Kuwaiti populace is what dishdasha to wear these days. I am not refering to the color but of the material. Should it be cotton meaning a summer dishdsha, or wool meaning a winter dishdasha?

You will really stand out and be odd looking and out of place if you make the mistake of wearing the wrong season's dishdasha. A few rules that you can follow to help you out in this dilemma follow:

1) Watch Kuwait TV, I know it has been ages since you last saw it but watch any way. Look at the Kuwaiti news reader, what dishdasha is he wearing ?

2) Look at the people in uniform, especially the police, did they switch to winter uniform?

3) My favorite rule, and one followed by all brown nosers loyal employees, is look at your superiors at work, the higher his position in the hierarchy the better, what season dishdasha is he wearing ? Follow the leader, as they say, you can't go wrong there because your boss is never wrong.

4) The most important rule is, if you decide to switch, you cannot go back to your old color. You will experience great shame if you do.

I am still wearing a white summer dishdasha for those who are interessted.

Tea Time

It is after 4pm, time for tea. Have some tea, or Chai.

Dwwen Dead

Dwwen, the blog aggregator for Arab blogs is closing down on 15 June 2008 because they could not make enough money to support themselves.

I feel bad for those guys, it was a decent site. I don't know how popular it got but I passed by from time to time.

Dear Dwwen,

Please don't die, just release your server code into the wild and let some enterprising hacker maintain it.

All the best.

A Dog looks up to a man, a cat looks down on a man, but a patient horse looks a man in the eye and sees him as an equal.

How Much Money Does Kuwait Have ?

According to the CIA, link here, Kuwait has $ 51,490,000,000 as part of its current account. I don't know if this number represents money sitting in the bank or a total of Kuwait's liquid assets. We are number 9 in the list. China is the first in the list and has 7 times more cash than us. Japan follows next with 3.8 times more cash than Kuwait. Among Arab countries, Kuwait is second to Saudi Arabia with the Saudis having 1.73 times more money than Kuwait. Out of 164 countries, 103 countries have negative balances and 61 have positive balances. The United States has a deficit of $747,100,000,000.
