Another article I was reading at ArabianBusiness.com, just now, can’t believe how many times this photo has been used with “Internet” & Saudi Arabia, getty images might have some more photos. Check out the old monitor, look deeper, the Keyboard reminds me of a Komodor 64! With the amount of investments on IT in Saudi this last year, I can never imagine Saudi using such systems. Another bit of pickyness in the morning.

Was just reading this bit on the the biggest number plate auction ever at ArabianBusiness.com, where Rob Corder categorizes number plates by number of digits:
Number plates in the UAE bestow upon their owners their present rank in society – Ruler: number 1; immediate family: single digits; senior government officials: two digits; private company CEOs: three digits; journalists: 5698724.
Neat! Journalists: 5698724, or in other words, whatever plate. Gives me a little giggle with ma morning coffee.

Just got me a copy of AutoCar magazine that had all the winners of the 2007 Best Cars Award. Well, nothing so cool about the contest as Audi R8 wins over Lambo? Didn’t dig that! What bothered me was the CD that came with the mag, a concluded version of the Land Rover website burnt on a DVD and given away, ah c’mon! That’s cheap! I expected to have cool interactive multimedia presentation that’d make me navigate every angle of their cars, Land Rover, really, I could dial in your URL and see that for myself, thanks!
