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 . As an end-user, I think the PS Vita looks the more interesting one as apple's iOS 5 is just playing catch-up to android which is already becoming more popular.

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?
