Thoughts …

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Sometimes you dream to become something, but you don’t know exactly what does that mean or what is it going to be. I know this is a vague thought, but really this what I feel. If at once you became something you are not prepared for it yet, you will be struggle between the excitement of this opportunity , and the fear of failure.

The problem in any opportunity is that you will try to overcome your mistakes and weaknesses. You will never or you will not have the time to show you strengths, and act normally. This is what leads to failure most of the time. Our curiosity to overcome our weaknesses is greater that our efforts to sustain and empower our strengths. I think we need to balance between them, or even utilize our strengths to the maximum and forget about the mistakes and weaknesses (This is what I think).

Another problem is the confidence and self trust. If we don’t belief in our self, we will never achieve anything. The people will think about you, what you think about your self. This is fact and I have seen it. If you think you cannot do it, no one will think. If you think you are not up to that level, no one will think !

This was some thoughts I have been thinking about them lately, and I think it is good it share it.

talk, chat and interact using fring

Monday, April 6th, 2009

My sister was talking to me today about an application that she installed in her mobile and was able to chat with her friend. I did not take her talk seriously until she insisted to show me how the application is working. To be honest, I was shocked when I tried this it.

It’s name is fring, and by using it you can chat, talk, and interact with your friends using MSN, Google talk, Skype, ICQ, Twitter, Yahoo, and too many other social internet accounts. Additionally, you can use fring to call fixed line and cell phones using Skype account or any internet voice provider (SIP). I think the amazing part of this application is his ability to under any cell phone brand. This will give the the credit over any other phone client.

Extinction of numeric keypads

Monday, April 6th, 2009


It seems that the numeric keypads age is going to extinct, as more than one report from large cellphone companies talk about how the touchscreen and QWERTY keypads are taking over. This change might be because of the new usages of cellphones and increasing the popularity of the SMS, notes, and cell application. Researches said that the usage of SMS has increased 200% in 2008 (compared to 2007), while voice calls has increased by < 5% for the same period. This confirms the theory that business is driven by customers needs and usages.
