Grillia City Mall
I like to try out new restaurants, especially if it serves rib eye steak!
So we decided to try out Grillia at City Mall.Big mistake!
- Table was not clean, we stood 15 minutes (timed) for them to clean it.
- We waited for 10 minutes (timed too) to get the menus.
- Another 10 minutes to get an ashtray
- Asked for a “well done” rib eye
The Origin of the vuvuzela
With the start of the world cup we got introduced to something more annoying than Britney Spears: The vuvuzela. We heard a lot about it, people calling to ban it, Sepp Blatter not banning it, blah blah blah yada yada yada.
This is not the issue here. Anyways, according to Wikipedia :
The origin of the term vuvuzela is disputed but was first… Continue reading
Twitter Promoted Trends
I just noticed that there are promoted trends on Twitter! I barely use the web interface and I have pre-defined trends I look out for. Cute move from Twitter. Hopefully they won’t flood us with them and just like @samerkoussa pointed out, trends should be trends and not promoted ones! It makes sense.
Amethyste Phoenicia
I will cut the crap and just go straight to the point: you want a REAL lounge bar/club? Go to Amethyste Phoenicia Beirut. No questions asked.
What I don’t like about this country is the lack of of REAL lounge clubs/bars. The ones that I know are pseudo lounges, you can kick back and enjoy a few drinks between 8pm and 8:30pm and after that you will hear some… Continue reading

Over 200 levels to play with! (It’s being reported that the game will stay for 48 hours, so hurry up!)
Goodbye Cleartag!
Less than a week and I am leaving Cleartag, personal decision, time to take a break.
Fact 1: Goodbye sucks.
Fact 2: I had the funniest and most challenging moments in my careers so far.
Fact 3: I am taking a break from the “digital” industry till further notice (some of you are familiar with the “notice” part)
Fact 4: I’ll miss the friends I made… Continue reading
Google’s new search result page
Some of us out there are experiencing the new search layout/ui of Google.
What is really interesting about it is that it changes according to your query (duh!) making the whole “experience” smoother and better depending on what you are searching for.
In a more simple way:
1st query: Lebanon. You get “everything” along with the ability to filter, images, videos, news, blogs and maps. which makes… Continue reading

Google Virtual Arabic Keyboard
I wonder why Google released a virtual keyboard for Arabic and didn’t go with the transliteration service that they already have (Google Ta3reeb) Hoping we get to know why. A business issue or an UX one? note that Google has a pseudo transliteration service that works with SOME words when using an arabic interface ( i.e. type “Loubnan” and wait, then try a different… Continue reading
