Ali Taqi, a student at AUK emailed to tell me about their performance in the Microsoft Imagine Cup that was recently held in our region. The Imagine Cup is a student technology competition where the aim is to create technology that will help solve the worlds toughest problems. The AUK students came first in Kuwait and second in the GCC and have now qualified to the next level which is to compete on an international level in New York. Their idea is very simple and according to them was inspired from the blog.
The students saw how when I took a picture of a problem and posted it on the blog the proper authorities would find out about the problem and get it fixed. So the students came up with the idea of creating a software which would be set up with a variety of different authorities (emergency services, garbage collection, health ministry etc..). They then would create a phone application for people so that when they find a problem, they can just snap a picture of it and then have the application send it to the proper authorities along with a geotag so that the location of the problem can be located quickly. They’ve called their idea the Revolutionary Reporting System or RRS for short.
In the video above for example they’re showing you how this software can be used to report an accident. Usually you would waste time trying to get a hold of the emergency call center and then trying to tell them what the problem is and where the problem happened. With this software they created things would be a lot easier.
I wish the guys involved in this project the best of luck (Ali Taqi, Bader Al Mohammed Ali, and Eissa Al Qadeeri). It’s a great idea and I for one would use it all the time. I do think they need to work a bit more on the video presentation before the New York event so maybe a local film maker can volunteer to help them out with this.

Astronomers have just captured an ultra hi-res image of our neighbouring galaxy Centaurus A, which is 12 million light years away! (113 528 765 671 000 000 000 Kilometers!). The zoom capability in this image is incredible. Check it out in the video below.
The entire galaxy is being sucked into a super-massive black hole (equal to the size of 55 million suns) in the galaxy’s core. The galaxy is the orange part in the center of the image. The black hole is visible when the image is zoomed in (the video shows it). And the blue areas that are spread around the galaxy are emitted gases and particles from the whole process. Notice that these gases and particles are spread over a span that is bigger than the entire galaxy!
Our humble human mind cannot conceive how huge this actually is. Imagine that while we sit on our comfy couch/bed hitting our laptop’s keyboard, there are millions of planets and stars out there disappearing slowly into a black hole. Right at this moment.

There are like tons of cool apps to share but these are my top five, what's yours ?
Around mid of the afternoon before time for college, I’ve passed 360 Mall for lunch and tour. As usual, I went to Geant to check out their new promotions, during walking down the escalator I saw people with 2-5 Samsung 32inches Palma TV in their baskets. During my way to the gate, their was huge promotions on the electronics and specially 32inches Samsung Palsma TV, which the people are buying it like a “Candy”. Their was only 1000 pieces to sell out which costs 89.900 KD and it’s really cheap … cheap price.

VIVA sent me the latest tablet device, the Motorola Xoom, to try out for a few days.
First thing I noticed was the many wires and accessories it had. There was this thing that looks like external speakers, with HDMI ports and stuff. I’m going to try and connect the Xoom to the TV, and check playback quality.
It’s going to take a couple of hours to charge, which means I can’t start playing yet.
You can get your Motorola Xoom from VIVA, starting from KD99.

Seems like Apple has already started working on the next generation of super thin devices. It has submitted a request to The European Telecoms Standard Body (ETSI) for a new standard size of SIM cards that are even smaller than the micro SIM. It’s expected for the new SIM to be used next year in devices like iPhone 6 and iPad3.

في الفتره الاخيره انتشرت السيور الي ما بقى احد ما لابسها و وايد مشاهير ولاعبين لبسوا هالسيور و سوولها دعايه.
وقالو ان جسم الانسان يتعرض لكثير من الشحنات الضارة من خلال استخدامة المعدات الالكترونية والهواتف النقالة ، والاشعة فوق البنفسجيه مما يسبب له عدم القدرة على التركيز ، آلام العضلات والمفاصل والصداع والغثيان ، فتم إنتاج أساور Power Balance لامتصاص الشحنات الضارة التي نواجها في حياتنا اليوميه ، وسعرها تقريباً من ١٠ لي ١٥ دينار .
وفي ناس اتقول ان الشركه المصنعه للسيور اعترفت ان مافي اي اثبات علمي يدل علي الفوائد الموجوده بالسيور ، واعتذرت الشركه حق كل الناس اللي شروا هالسيور وفعلا بموقع امازون نزلت اسعار السيور من ٣٠ دولار الي ٥ دولارات فقط.
