Super Square

Spy photos and info of the new Ducati 1199 superbike are surfacing around the web, the 1199 was co-developed by Troy Bayliss who has been lapping it at Mugello circuit and according to him it’s a BEAS !! -he managed to match Stoner’s lap time on the GP10-

The bike is called Superquadrata -Super Square- reference to the ultra short stroke of the all new V-twin engine, and as we can see from the spy shots the new bike is a shorter, lighter and much more compact, the new engine will have gear driven cams to maintain the valve timing at high revs.

It’s also rumored that the bike will be frameless -an innovation Ducati patent last year – anyway ECMA is only a couple of month away and thats where we except the new beast will be launched.

Yellow Trash Cans St.

I was on my to the office yesterday when i noticed new yellow trash cans all over Salem Al Mubrak St. there is a trash can every 30meters on each side !!!

The street now looks really really looks weird…you’ve got to see it to understand what am failing to describe  !!

Now the other weird issue is the interlock pavement blocks that were removed to install the trash cans, they were left next to the trash cans… as if the job was only to install the trash cans and not clean the garbage produced  by the installation!

Unlocked iPhones @AppleStore

I was browsing the Apple online store and i found out that they are now selling unlocked iPhones !

Its priced at around KD 178 add the 5% sales tax and KD 5 for Aramex you’ll end up paying around KD 200 which is more than what its sold for locally.

Wouldn’t it be nice to see all Apple products priced smiler to Apple online store?

Customer service

Zain noticed the iPhone post i wrote yesterday and took action on it very quickly, i got an email at 8AM and then a call at 10am !

Mr.Al-Omar explained to me the reasons behind the 6 month period and thanked me for bringing the issue to their attention he also agreed that the customers’ history should be considered in such cases and exceptions should be made -i was the first -.

I was excepting my post to be read by Zain since all new posts are auto shared by a lot of aggregator sites and twitters, and the fact that Zain monitor online conversations around their brand across the social web, but i never expected such a quick action from them !

Thank you Zain for the prompt customer support and for solving the issue.

Is this the new DUC?

It’s not a secret anymore that Ducati will be unveiling their new 1199 superbike in November, spy photos and concept designs are all over the net but how genuine are these photos is something that we’ll never know before November.

Discrimination @ZainKuwait

I liked the new iPhone offers from Zain and since my voice and data consumption fits one of the monthly packages they are offering, i decided to go and get me a new white iPhone.

I went to Hawaly branch, it was very crowded, the numbering machine was broken but the guys there where helping everybody with smile on their face. My turn comes i till the guy behind the counter that i want to subscribe to one of the iPhone packages… he says great and ask me for my ID, and just when i hand him the ID he goes sorry you are not allegeable for the offer !!!!

I ask why? and he goes your residency has only 5 month left and we require you have a least 6 month !!! – ليش مقدم على ڤيزا شنجن –

I try to argue a bit trying to understand the logic behind the 6 month, but he fails to explain and just say: its the rules sir and its from up there !!!

I ask him to check since when am a Zain customer, and goes since 1993, i say does that have any value, would you or the branch manager be able to make an exception? he goes sorry sir we can’t !! so i leave the branch laughing trying to comprehend what just happened !!

I have been a loyal Zain customer for the past 18 years, i never tried of even had the urge to try any other service provider but unfortunately it seams all that doesn’t count under any brand loyalty program at Zain !!

The irony is am gona continue using Zain services because i believe they are the best and just blame the above on the system .

Thank you Zain for making my day.
