Qatar
Monday, June 18, 2007
I must apologize for the long absence but professional reason kept me away and busy for a while. Most importantly, I had the occasion of visiting Qatar for about two weeks. Although I know the Middle East region quite well, I had never been to Qatar. I was precisely located in Doha, the capital. This place is quite interesting and amazing in what it has been able and is still in the process of accomplishing. Most impressive. Here’s a breif break-down of the trip. I might take several days to get through this. The flight from Paris takes about 6 and a half hours. When landing, all I could see was lots and lots of sand. In fact, there was a small sand storm when I landed so this impression was even more dramatic. Once out of the airport, traffic became an issue. Like many of these countries, they did not think very far ahead when they built their roads. As a result, a few years later, when the traffic quantity has increased dramatically, traffic is constant. It takes way too long to cover short distances. That being said, the first drive was not that bad. I was able to drive along the “Corniche” area of Doha which is a beach strip that has been recently revamped and embellished. This beach strip is absolutely breath-taking. On the other side, we can see other buildings such as the Sheraton Hotel, Four Seasons, or Movenpick tower. At the end of the beach strip is the trendy area which is stil under construction. The amount of sky scrapers under construction here is amazing. It reminded me of how Dubai was about 8 years ago. Building after building after building… Interesting fact - China and Qatar alone used up ALL of the world’s supply of steel in 2006. This scarcity has caused all of the construction in the city to halt and be delayed for at least 10 months. I will continue this some other time… in the meantime, some pictures are available in the Travel Log of http://gallery.nickology.com/ |

STARCRAFT 2 ANNOUNCED!!!
Monday, May 21, 2007
Blizzard Entertainment has finally announced the making of Starcraft II. The original game came out in 1998 and I am guessing the new version will be ready by summer of next year… perfect decade of waiting. This was the best RTS game out there and is still considered by some, including myself, as the #1 RTS game that allows for the most fun with friends and strangers alike. Check out Starcraft2.com for more info, a beautiful cinematic trailer, and some impressive screenshots… |

Jobs takes a stab at Microsoft
Friday, May 11, 2007
Following Apple’s annual shareholders meeting in Cupertino on Thursday, Jobs made some interesting remarks. When asked about a decreasing research budget, Jobs said :
The Apple CEO also said that his company can’t make up for a limited amount of engineering resources simply by throwing money at the problem. He said that the reason Apple is innovative is because the company is careful in who it hires, and so the process of growing the company’s talent pool can take years.
