Funny ...

Steve Jobs: I bought a CRAY to help design the next Apple.

Seymour Cray: Funny, I am using an Apple to simulate the CRAY-3.

For those who are not familiar with names, Steve is the founder of Apple and Seymour is the founder of Cray and then most popular supercomputer Architect.

Speed Test

I am too busy to do anything, and have nothing to post, so this my UMTS Internet connection speed test, on the date and time shown

My dreams come true

Kindle from Amazon ....


Back in the year 1992, and while working on my Ph.D. at UAH, the idea of a technology replacing the hefty books came to miy mind, it was something like this little fellow with some era-specific difference; like wireless data connections, as it was not invented or even visioned at that time, and the missing things like colors and annotations and copy/patse functions ... which must be coming soon.

TURKEY ... thanks

لندعم المنتج التركي، ولنقدر لتركيا المسلمة موقفها الشجاع في الوقوف إلى جانب الأهل في فلسطين، والذي برز في اكثر من موقف كان منه موقف السيد رجب الطيب اوردغان في دافوس، حيث وجه صفعة قوية لرئيس الكيان الصهيوني. كذلك موقف الوفد تركيا الإغاثي الذي كان أول الوفود التي وصلت الى غزة بعد إنتهاء العدوان

لنقف ضد محاولات الصهيونية والغرب وأتباعهم للنيل من تركيا التي كانت وستظل إن شاء الله قلعة من قلاع الإسلام

Good Job Fadwa

Yesterday, Wednesday Dec. 24th, 2008, was one of my happy days; it was the birthday of my son Makeen who was born 1989 (He spent the whole night out, but I am sure I will see him the other day) and it was the day his cute mother got her Master Degree in Islamic Economy from Yarmouk University

Fadwa defended her thesis titled "Quality Management In the Islamic Banks". The panel had the following professors:

1. Dr. Imad Barakat, Chairman (Chairman, Department of Islamic Economy, Yarmouk University, Irbid - Jordan)
2. Dr. Reyad Al Momany, Co-chairman (Dean, College of Finance and Administration, International Islamic University, Amman - Jordan)
3. Dr. Sa'ed Al Hallaq, Member (Chairman, Department Of Economy, Yarmouk University, Irbid - Jordan)
4. Dr. Kamal Al Hattab, Member (Former Chairman, Department of Islamic Economy, Yarmouk University, Irbid - Jordan)
5. Dr. Najah Abu Al Fotooh, Member (Visiting Professor, Yarmouk University, Irbid - Jordan)

Taisir, Batool, Yazeed, Makeen, Aseel, Nuha, some friends, department professors and some Ph.D. candidates attended the defense

Shoezophrenia

A new severe psychiatric disorder has been reported by Shoemaker Jr., M.D. in the US. Not to be confused with the well known less sever disorder "Schizophrenia", this one so rare, and only presidents are prone to. Symptoms include seeing people hitting you by shoes wherever you go, even in countries you seem to consider safe havens.

New Weapon

The Pentagon is planning to launch a new military project with hefty funding to design and test Anti-Shoes Weapon System (ASWS)

Deadline is so tight, the weapon has to be ready for use before Bush steps down the oval office ...

Hajj

All praise be to Allah, I am back from Mecca after performing Hajj
It was not as hard as I thought; the modern arrangements made the 5 Millions look like only 500 Thousands.

Asif Ali, another Musharaf

The Pakistanis did not want to be ruled by a man in the military, and America responded by sending a new one.

Asif Ali (12 years in prison for corrupt) is the new president; a new American agent with civilian dress this time, I am afraid he has paid the price (staging the slaughter of his wife, to become Shahida) so gets the office by people's votes. Get more by clicking the title

I am afraid we have to grow up ...

High Tech Tire (Click)

At last, tires are getting a focus; I have always hoped for this kind of thing, I have always doubted the pressure and the general state of my tires, and also doubted the opinion of the shops workers who possibly wanted to sell new ones. Read more on the new tech from Pirelli

Musharaf: down & out

That's it .....Musharaf, who claims to be of Pakistan, is gone !!!
He received a "safe passage" to some country, thanks to USA, UK & KSA (as they care about Paksitan !!!!! they do care about others, too)
He had to leave because he does not belong to Pakistan. On Nov. 25th, 2007, I wrote something about Musharraf, and here is the link

Cameras (Click)

I like the technology when it is reasonable; a camera with face detection allows a novice to shoot (maybe another novice) with his face in the middle of the picture, while smile shutters allow shooting when people smile to the camera, no cheese no nothing.

I like that, but what if we live in a place where people don’t smile? Whether it is their nature, war, poverty or disaster! The earth is mostly of this kind of people, those who have one or more of those “blessings”

Lego (Click)

Lego ? is this real or what ? I am afraid it is "what"
Imagine yourself getting few basic hadrware modules of your choosing, downloading pieces of software modules over the net and ... having a gadget in an hour or so ! isn't this great ? this is an emerging technology, it is real and is going to be more popular and affordable soon

Income & Tax (Click)

I have come to know some numebrs regarding the income and tax of the top offices in the US.

President G. Bush and his wife, Laura, paid $221,635 in federal taxes on an adjusted gross income of $923,807 for the year 2007, including $400,000 as president salary $150,000 advance received by his wife for the children's book she co-authored with her daughter, Jenna.

Vice President D. Cheney and his wife, Lynne, had an adjusted gross income of $3.04 million in 2007. They owed $602,651 in federal taxes on that income; paid $466,165 through withholdings and estimated tax payments, and will pay the remaining $136,486 upon filing their tax return.

I am eager to knwo what the numbers are around the world! I mean how the other presidents get their money, how much they get and how much they pay as tax (if they ever do).

Memory Nanotechnology (Click)

IBM scientists are working on a new solid-state memory technology that aims to combine the best attributes of flash, like having no moving parts, and the low cost of hard drives for an inexpensive form of nonvolatile memory that will be stable and durable.

It nanotechnology that stores information in thousands of atoms in magnetic nanowires. Electrical charge causes data to move swiftly along a U-shaped pipe (hence the name "racetrack") that allows 16 bits of data to be read or written trough a single transistor in less than a nanosecond, without moving the atoms. Cells don’t wear out like the flash memory or magnetic pets, and the capacities will even exceed that of the magnetic disk. So, more capacitive, cheaper, longer life and even less power demand, but few years of wait to be commercialized. Click the title to see it on YouTube.

The Internet ...

Joseph Weizenbaum summarizes his critical perspective on technology, he said:

“The Internet is like one of those garbage dumps outside of Bombay. There are people, most unfortunately, crawling all over it and maybe they find a bit of aluminum, or perhaps something they can sell. But mainly it’s garbage.”

After the article appeared in New York Times 1999, he wrote a letter to the Times:

“I did say that, but I went on to say: There are gold mines and pearls in there that a person trained to design good questions can find.”

This is the Internet; look at the forums, blogs and trash can like websites that you have to see when you surf unless you design good quesuions to discard most of that.
