Apple's iPhone 5 Rumor Updates !


As we all know that iPhone 5 is going to be released this June. But according to the yahoo news and the rumors floating around, that apple is going to delay its release to sometime this fall or even 2011 . I honestly don't know if that's a good move by apple . It might be good news for the Verizon people, because the just got hold of their new iPhone 4. They would be really disappointed if the iPhone 5 comes out after few months from the time that they just received the iPhone 4 . Also the iPhone 5 probably has some technical issues to work out. So them holding it out for the reason that they can sell iPhone 4 without loosing there investment in the phone that just recently came out. Since the cat is out of the bag, the customers probably will holdout and still will hold out for the new phone. So either way it will be in their best interest to bring out the new phone bug free. On the other hand this decision could harm apple in my opinion. I think if iPhone 5 doesn't announce its release date soon , they will face a huge competition this year from the booming Android phones and especially the Samsung Galaxy.

Horrifying Sandstorm attacks Kuwait on March 25, 2011





      A massive blinding sandstorm had hit Kuwait before yesterday! It was an unexpected sandstorm that forced the international airport to shut-down. While drivers had to slow-down or stop as the sand turned skies into an orange brown, enveloping the whole city.
 If you haven’t seen a sandstorm, then you should consider yourself really lucky. I was looking at the videos; it’s like something right out of a movie with dark cloud hovering over the city. It looks so scary; I have never seen anything like that there before. I’ve experienced sandstorms when I lived in Kuwait, but nothing like this.
      As I saw the videos, the first thing I did is picked up the phone and called my parents in Kuwait and checked on them , they told me they were on their way to somewhere , where they only had 5 more minutes to get to their destination . They suddenly saw the air filled with sand, that made it very difficult to drive on the near-zero visibility roads. Their 5 minute driving distance, had turned to 3 hours, so you can only imagine how difficult and dangerous is to drive where you could not seen anything. The storm went on for several hours. Besides the disruptive air /road travel, and the blinding dust, sandstorms can cause major respiratory problem for children, the sick and the old. Not to mention damage of the overall area and plants. Hope nothing major happened to anyone in Kuwait during this horrible sandstorm disaster.
