I did it again – Viaddress :/

DudeAccidents, Shopping 4 Comments

This is the second time I order through Viaddress Again :/. If you read my previous post on Viaddress you’ll know why the :/ face. I wanted to order a couple of Rubik’s Cubes (original quality ones) from amazon. So i ordered 3. All costing me around 8 KD for all three.

 Unfortunately my one-click address was somehow linked to viaddress by default, and it went through them. I didn’t know until i received an email from viaddress saying that there is a new shipment in my mailbox :/

How much do you think I ended up paying for shipment?

No, I actually paid 31 KD!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate Viaddress. My solution was to remove it from my Amazon Address list completely!

The Pumas Arrived!

DudeFashion, Kuwait, Malls, Shopping 1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago we were asked to go visit the Puma Store in AlHamra Luxury Center and try out their new Puma Factory, where you design and fabricate your own custom Puma!

To see the previous post I wrote check it out here

This was what the initial design looked like :

[shashin type=”photo” id=”15381,15380,15379,15378″ size=”small” columns=”4″ order=”user” position=”center” crop=”y”]

I was called up a couple of days ago and it ARRIVED Tell me what you think! 😀

1. The shoes came in a Clever bag, which reduces the materials required for the production of the boxes and doubles as a re-usable bag, which you can store your shoes in. 

My first impressions were mixed as I had nearly forgotten the colors i’ve chosen, and the thick shoe strings looked a little over the top, so I swapped them out with the thin white ones and voila!

Maybe i’ll pass by and get some blue laces, and orange laces maybe, its easier to choose once you have the shoes in your hands. 

What do you think ? ? ?

My Thoughts on the iPad Mini

DudeApple, Computers & Electronics, Internet, iPad 2 Comments

We were given the iPad mini to review by BEST Electronics, i had so many mixed thoughts about it, it took me quite a while to get everything down in typing.

1. The Weight

The iPad Mini has a lighter weight compared to the tablets i had (Motorola Xoom and iPad 2) you’d forget you had it in your bag. Usually with the ipad you’d feel like do I need to have it with me, its extra weight and needs extra space, but the iPad mini is a lot lighter, and you wouldn’t mind carrying it around, especially more suitable for travelling.

Also, the lighter weight means if you use it using one hand without getting tired or feeling you want to use a stand or put it on the table. I found it a lot more useful for reading, used it with iQuran, and at night the smaller screen gave less glow than the iPad 2 did, and the text was large (compared to when reading on iPhone).

 

2. The Size

From its name you’d know the iPad mini is now comparing itself to the nexus 7 and other smaller tablets in this range. Some might find the smaller size is too small if they were used to the iPad’s larger size. For others it might be just right!

The downside ?

I would say the major downside is the Screen resolution, if only the resolution was a little higher it would’ve been perfect. (but then they wouldn’t have any advancements for the next iPad mini :P) The other disadvantage is that the iPad mini doesn’t come with the latest A6x chip which is shipping out with the iPad 4, and of course  it uses the new lightning connection which means you need the new adapter to make it work with all your existing accessories.

 

Where to get it from?

The iPad 2 is being sold at BEST electronics for 129 KWD (WiFi Version) currently available in Black in all BEST Branches : Hawally, Alrai and Kuwait City.

AlGhanim Launches the New 2013 Chevrolet TrailBlazer (Part 1)

DudeAnnouncements, Cars, Entertainment, General 2 Comments

We were invited to attend the new 2013 Cheverolet Trailblazer launch event that was held a couple of days ago at Marina Crescent.

 

Surrounded by security guards, we waited untill the cars were unveiled, turns out we were in for quite a show.


They had quite an amazing performance by firebreathers.

Jumping on Glass.. 

One Amazing shot in my opinion was the intriguing look on the faces of all the people and children that attended

Now for the Trailblazer : :

New Speed Cameras Everywhere!

DudeKuwait 4 Comments

During the past couple of days I started to notice some new Speed camera posts that were put up in nearly every major High Way. The Fahaheel Express Way, king Fahad Road, and King  Faisal Road. Does anyone know anything about them, they seem to be pretty close together, but they’re the normal 3 camera configuration, not the avg. speed ones.

Here’s a photo I took today on my way home.

DudeComputers & Electronics, General, Internet, Technology, Tutorials 2 Comments

 

I’m sure a lot of you were disappointed when they found out that the galaxy note 2 that you bought didn’t support multitasking right away and needed a software upgrade. After researching online for a solution

To Get the MultiTasking update  here’s what you have to do:

1. Download and install the Samsung Kies Application (here)

2. Connect your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to the Samsung Kies application

2. It should automatically tell you that there is an update but if not, check for updates. The upgrade will take sometime to download but once it downloads it will automatically update your handset.

*** Your phone has to be connected for the full duration and if you disconnect your phone while the download is being done it will stop the download and you have to start again.***

 

In Arabic :

لتنزيل احدث نسخه على سامسونج جالكسي نوت 2 كل ما عليك فعله هو :

١. تنزيل برنامج السامسونج كييز على الكمبيوتر و توصيل الهاتف إلى الكمبيوتر باستخدام كابل اليو أس بي

٢. بعد التوصيل قم بتشغيل البرنامج وسوف يبحث عن آخر الإصدارات الجديده للهاتف. وستظهر لك تعليمات التحديث للهاتف النقال

طبعا يجب أن يكون الكمبيوتر متصل بشبكة الإنترنت، و والتحديث يحتاج إلى وقت للتنزيل. وافق على الشروط و توكل على الله و حدث الجهاز

ملاحظة: دائما قم بعمل باك اب للهاتف قبل التحديث
