10 Things I learned watching Hannah Montana

Posted: April 19th, 2009 | Author: Moey | Filed under: Apple+Mac, Kuwait, Nightlife, Review | Comments Off
  1. She has the worse wig ever.
  2. She is a product of a company.
  3. She has some “nasal” issue.
  4. The sound of her voice or the very mention of her name is like fingernails on a chalkboard and I would rather listen to Cher groan in her man-voice.
  5. The Hannah Montana Movie makes a great place to take a nap.
  6. People over the age of 19 need to get lives.
  7. Almost all 10 year old kids with their parents make a lot of people. 
  8. You don’t really need to be talented to become famous. 
  9. Uninspiring and unoriginal music is good. According to Disney. 
  10. You don’t need to be a good actress to get the leading role in a movie.

The most important thing is that I’ve never wanted to see a little girl die more in my life.

I’m sorry Rozana, next time we’re going to watch something else, even if censored and butchered by Kuwait’s MOI. 

The story here, is that I had to go watch this with my niece and nephew. My body was itching all the time. Hanna Montana sucks!

I loved this part in “Disaster Movie” where she actually dies.


So… Galaxy is Dove?

I went to this new supermarket next to my place, to find it filled with imported chocolate that looked like Galaxy but is called Dove, and is also from Mars snackfood, USA.

It turns out that outside the USA the Dove brand is sold as Galaxy (except for certain countries, including China, Canada, Australia, Germany, Greece, and the Netherlands, where it is sold as Dove). Thanks wikipedia.


Google to announce Twitter acquisition tomorrow?

Posted: April 17th, 2009 | Author: Moey | Filed under: Amman, Jordan | 3 Comments »

According to a tweet today by Twitter CEO Evan Williams, today is a “very big day.” Williams will be appearing on the Oprah talk show. Elsewhere on Twitter, prominent twittizen Ashton Kutcher, tweeted that he too will be “twittering live” with Oprah tomorrow, concluding his tweet with: “Gentleman start your search engines. LOL.

Now, It seems to me that both tweeters may be hinting at subtly what they cannot say outright: That Williams will announce Google’s acquisition of the microblogging service on the Oprah show or sometime before the show.

Kutcher has only 140 characters or less to tell fans he’s going to be Twittering on Oprah, and in that cramped space references “search engines” followed by “LOL”? Unless we’re being punk’d, I’d say that was a pretty blatant hint. If so, they’re not the only ones dropping hints. Google CEO Eric Schmidt conspicuously “heaped praise upon” Twitter in that company’s earnings call. There’s no way he’d be doing that unless he wanted to secure a major deal of some kind with Twitter, or has already done so.

Any of these hints by itself wouldn’t mean anything, but all three together make me believe that the rumored acquisition hits tomorrow. Then, a friend burst my bubble and said: Tomorrow will be the day or even tonight when the first person on Twitter breaks a million followers. It’s a race between @aplusk and @cnnbrk.
