Dubai on Empty

A good read...even better choice of words... "Nowhere roads going nowhere"

Students left without books

Free every damn thing but no books for schools. How does not having education help a state? Sad, pathetic bunch of idiots ruling a state.

Duke Nukem Forever

Looks like the much awaited Duke Nukem reboot has failed miserably. The review below might be biased on the offensive humor and objectification but more I'm sure will come out about the gameplay.

E3 Updates

There has been a buzz of activity in the technology world as part of the E3 convention. A few major announcements have been Apple's iCloud, iOS 5, Playstation Vita .

Maradona: We'll make history

How do football clubs like Al Wasl, Al Jazeera sustain themselves? Compared to international clubs that are followed by millions and have high-profile transfers with intense games, how do these UAE local clubs compare? Recently a big celebration was announced for a local club with international stars and a ferrari to give-away. These clubs don't seem to have millions following them, millions of dollars in stadium rights or television viewership, but still they try to reel in big names. Are these a local version of Manchester City or Chelsea with billions to spend? It is even interesting that these clubs are trying to get high profile players. Is this going to be another J-League where european players in the twilight of their career move to prolong their fewer days?

Sharjah...not a summer surprise

Sharjah is being true to its summer promise - not any shopping extravaganza but power cuts...

There should be a serious inquiry into the way things function at the W&E authority since the general public should be informed prior to the outages which would help them make alternate plans.

Vehicle Recalls

A lot of vehicle manufacturers have piggy-backed on Toyota's vehicle recall. A few manufacturer's who have recently recalled are: Toyota, Honda, Audi, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, Nissan.....the list goes on...But is it fair that only Toyota had to have a congressional hearing!!
