Nuclear Power in Kuwait

According to instant news,

Kuwait is considering developing nuclear power with the help of a French firm to meet demand for electricity and water desalination, a Kuwaiti newspaper quoted the country's ruler as saying today. (InstantNews)

Is this what the 5.4 million nuclear pills are eventually for? This is definitely not a good idea considering the many idiotic ways most of the major companies try to cut costs in order to get a bigger profit margin from the construction contract (Let us just imagine that this is not a factor with the French group for now), the heat in Kuwait is a major problem too, the poor maintenance I bet this thing will have, the terrible ways Kuwait will think of for dumping the nuclear bi-products, etc.; we are surely going to see a nuclear meltdown, leak, or contamination and be needing those pills sometime in the future.

Toys 'R' Us Coming to Kuwait

Apparantly the Al-Futtaim Group is getting Toys 'R' Us along with Marks & Spencer and Intersport to 360 Mall. (Arabian Business)

Auto Wudu Washer

This seems like a very clever new way for Wudu. Although my one concern here is that people would just place there hands, feet, and face into it and let the water flow without rinsing themselves with their hands; which to me is a really, really lazy and ignorant way to get ready for prayer.

Sony Idou (12.1 Megapixel Phone)

I hope the lens on this phone is good because most photographers will tell you that the headline megapixel count is not as important as the quality of the lens and numerous other things. While Sony has somewhat of a decent track record in the field of producing good quality camera-phones, I doubt the lens in the Idou will be anywhere near as good as the average purpose built digital camera.

Facebook in Arabic (Beta)

If anyone was wondering, Arabic was only available in Facebook as a translation application which didn't work that well. Now Arabic is a full option in the settings panel for any user to add. The interface is completely in Arabic and was translated by facebook users themselves (All translated content could be commented and voted on by users in order to verify its accuracy).

Wrestling back in Kuwait

(YouTube)

Back in the 1990s  the WWE toured Kuwait several times and held tournaments, but other than talent visits to military bases professional wrestling has been banned in Kuwait for over 10 years. This might be all tied to an infamous appearance by Vader on Good Morning Kuwait that led to Vader being held under house arrest for 10 days in 1997. (Video Above)

According to WrestleZone:

Now East Wrestling Championship is promoting the first pro wrestling championship competition ever organized in Kuwait, and the 1st cards in 10 years, held during the 19, 20 and 21 of February on the celebration of HALA February 2009 in Salmiya Sports Club, with famous international former WWF stars and Champions from around the World competing for the East Championship Belt.

Vehicle on Fire in Bnaider

A car was on fire at the dunes in Bnaider about an hour ago. Some people say that the guy was stuck in the sand and the car burnt from overheating. However, others say that it was set on fire deliberately. Thank god no injuries or deaths were sustained.
