There are talks of a movie based on the book and is said to be a 700hour long movie.

It’s only a matter of time and seems inevitable that file sharing websites like Megaupload will be closed down. Apparently the USA feels that it can control the internet and seems to be getting it right without the help of SOPA and PIPA. Filesonic has recently followed suit and closed its file sharing completely which actually makes the facility totally useless. Now you can only download files that you have uploaded – no more sharing. The FBI says that this is to kill piracy especially for the entertainment arena. I don’t think so, something smells really fishy. If the FBI has the power to close down websites as huge as Megaupload, imagine what they can do to religious websites but by merely saying that they have terrorist content. Who knows where they will stop – if they do.

Well I personally have an UNLIMITED LIFETIME PREMIUM account with Filesonic where I share files. Theres are files that are for clients – like Photoshop mockups and designs which are way too huge to email. Now I cannot share these files anymore. I am currently demanding my money back from Filesonic but I doubt i’ll get very far.

Im so sick of the USA controlling the world. While the American people say that it is their government and not the people – I beg to differ as it’s the American people who are so proud of that idiotic slogan – “THE AMERICAN DREAM”. Wake up you ignorant blind Americans and stop believing everything you see in the damn movies.

F&%K – Im sick if this SH1T.

A fire broke out today from the top floor of one of the Darul Ulooms buildings, better know as “CookSubs Room” by the students. The whole building was completely engulfed in flames leaving nothing but burnt walls. Alhamdulillah no-one was injured. Reports say that the fire started at 17:30 and continued until 18:30. There are no reports as yet as to how the fire actually started. One thing for sure is all that is left are the memories that students have of buying food from Cook Saheb “Cooksub” and “chilling” in the eating room.

There were many students and local residents who came to the firefighters aid and great admiration has to be given to all of them for their bravery in trying to save the building and its contents.

We will post updates and more photos as they become available.

Steve Jobs has been a great inspiration to all when it comes to design and creativity. I decided to put the dude on my laptop as a reminder of how he always strived for the best and never stopped looking for ways to improve design and not to mention the one thing he always said “Love what you are doing.”

Packet of Romantics

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a hellava sweet tooth. I just love sweets, cakes, chocolates, biscuits…you get the picture. Romantics is just one of those sweets you pop into your mouth and enjoy the sweet taste… until now. I was in Jo’burg (Johannesburg for our international visitors) a few weeks ago at a sweet warehouse and got a packet of Romantics – amongst other luxuries. This evening I wishing for something sweet so I opened the packet and popped one in. Damn!!! this aint no Romantic. I bit on it and it just crumbled like a compressed block of sugar. It was as sweet as hell. I even convinced my wife to taste one. I tried another… just as bad. No way was I going to give my kid those. Then it dawned on me of the rubbish they make for the kids today. No wonder they are sitting with allergies, coughing and hyper active.

Before I threw them in the bin I decided to dissolve a few in a small cup of water just for fun. I was horrified to see what was floating on top that couldn’t even dissolve.

Take a look at the pics to see what I mean. This is the crap that we are giving our kids and then when they are up all night coughing, we want to pump them with medicines. We need to rethink what we are feeding our kids and if this is just one type of sweet that is full of junk, imagine how many other sweets are damaging our kids.

What do you think?

Apple released the iPhone 4S today. Although identical to the iPhone 4, the iPhone4S has a major upgrade on the inside. The upgrade includes a A5 dual core processor, 8 megapixel camera with stabilizer, 1080p HD video recording up to 30 frames per second and a beta version of SIRI. Siri is the intelligent assistant that does everything – all you have to do is ask. “Make me coffee?”, “Finish my brochure design?” “Take the dirt out?” mmmmmm not quite everything. It’s more like a Yellow Pages, TO DO list, kind of app with a voice. To be honest I really don’t think I could get used to it. Anyway, with the faster CPU and better graphics, I’m sure the iPhone 4S will be worth the upgrade… when it eventually makes its way to our shores.

Another announcement was that iCloud and iOS5 will be available on October 14 October 12. Now this is an upgrade I can’t wait for. I don’t think I will be rushing out and laying down the extra cash for an already perfect iPhone but iCloud and iOS5 will be worth it.

Update 1:
Apple has released the keynote of this event “Lets Talk iPhone“. To watch the video, you’ll need to use a Mac with Safari 4 or 5 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Lion, an iOS 3 or later device with Safari, or a PC QuickTime 7 on Windows. Enjoy!
