I was reading iPhone environmental requirements since I was “somehow” interested in getting one. What bugs me is that iPhone Environmental Operating temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C) is not good for our climate. Temperature here in Kuwait can hit over 50°C (shade). Yesterday was 45°C when I checked. If I’m not mistaken, it can reach 80° C when not under shades (It’s what I remember from a high school class).

I guess I’ll just have to wait for it to release here and see what happens rather than purchasing it over the web. Maybe some modification will be made to meet the temperature here.

Maybe he is just got insane since microsoft’s developers are the ones making money for him!

I was shocked when I read the news about the new test about antiVirus products in PC World news. Microsoft’s OneCare is the worst antiVirus on the list of 17 tested products. That thing pissed me off since Microsoft was trying to monopolize OneCare for windows and gives other antivirus companies much less permission in to work on windows than it should be, like not giving antivirus vendors an access to windows’ kernel on 64-bit version of windows.

Microsoft, a multibillion dollars company, one of the largest companies on the world needs to re-think carefully about what it is doing. They suppose to be mature enough to think better after all those decades of experience on computer world. Look at this funny adv video:

Some of you might ask me why not move to Mac OS. I can’t and I don’t think I’ll try. Simply because many programs, games, and even arabic font are available on Windows much more than Mac OS.
