مقالات مكتوبة بواسطتي, تعبر عن وجهة نظري بأشياء عادية بالحياة, فأنا شخص عادي جدا و أرائي الشخصية أيضا عادية و لكنها بأسلوب هزلي بعض الشيء, و قابلة للنقاش.

This is how you transfer your TV into a Smart TV
Anyway, the brand is a Chinese One I-life , the price for this baby around 40KD and it's a Chinese brand, got an authorized dealer in Kuwait!
I'm talking about Android TV!
It's a small peice that got Android OS installed on, you simply plus this baby into your TV thru the HDMI and that's it! you can connect this device to your Home Network, Internet, and you will see Android OS on your big flat TV! Talk less and tell us more!
Alright, this is the box:
1GB RAM
Dual Core 1.6Ghz
and Full HD
when you open the box you will find the following:
The packing is neat and nice
You will get the device (with it's cover)
2 USB Cable
Wireless Keyboard
Charger
A small HDMI cable (even that the device it self can be plugged right away in your TV, but the Keyboard needs to see the receiver USB, so this extension is basically, to make the device visible and NOT behind the TV.)
Before we start i would like to take a second to review the Keyboard/Remote.
As you can see, it's a full mini keyboard, with a small mouse pad area, the most important part of the keyboard is the mouse pad, it's where you will put your fingre and navigate, the full mini keyboard is really so much handy, it got a page up and page down, it got a shortcut for the home screen, back and select, if you want to do multiple clicks you may hold anything in the keyboard and swipe your finger (this way you are actually like putting two fingers on your screen) this can be useful for playing games!
Now the question which would pop to anyone's mind....what if i lost the keyboard?
Simply: go buy a WIRELESS MOUSE!
I didn't try yet which wireless mouse would work best currently i'm searching for any app where i can control the Android Tv from my other Android phones...hopefully i will find one.
Now let's get back to our review.
So when you connect it it will be like this:
This is the Wireless Remote/Keyboard receiver, it's a simple UBS thing.
Once you plug it in your TV and after the loading screen you will get this home screen:
The first thing you do is connect the device to your local area network, so head to either the settings or click on the click and choose settings from there
From there, just like any android phone, choose your network and connect to it.
because many Tvs with different resolutions, you may head to the "Screen" and set the best display for the best picture for your tv.
Now with all important settings set, head to the Apps to see how it looks
and if you want to see the beauty of your Android TV and customize everything you may use widgets too
Turning your tv from "regular" one into a Smart Tv never been easier!
and with Internet you can now surf the web all you want!
Just download Chrome and enjoy the net!
Here i would like to point out on a tiny problem, the text size!
Text size on tv would be smaller, because you will be sitting at least 3 meters away from the screen, so the solution for that would be : installing a font Maximize app and increase your fonts above the limit which is offered by default:
170% is PERFECT for me!
Now here's some screen shoots from youtube, and the Play store.
For playing games...Hmm don't expect much because the control is really not that good, the mouse pad area is pretty small, but you still can play small simple games smoothly like Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Candy Rush...
This Android Tv device has a Memory Card slot, where you can insert a 32 GB for example and get all the Space you need for your multimedia ;)
Within the built in File Manager you can do simple tasks:
But why not download a more professional File Manager (Es File Explorer) ;)
the following are just screen shoots from the screen of various built in Apps.
To sum up everything:
This device is a MUST HAVE GADGET! it literately makes you feel how stupid your Tv was before plugging this device in! if you're thinking about buying a new Smart Tv, save your money and buy this Android Tv, it worth EVERY FILS!

سوني بلاي ستيشن 4....ريفيو سريع جدا
1. عشاق للإكس بوكس 360
2. عشاق للسوني 3
3. مدافعين عن السوني 3( و هي الفئة التي تعلم أن ال3 ليس ممتاز و لكن من ولائهم اسوني يدافعون عنها) و أنا كنت منهم..سبب ظهور هذه الفئة هي قلة الحصريات في البداية...و كرت الفيديو الأعلى بالإكس بوكس و سعر سوني 3 المرتفع وقتها...و ظهور البلوراي...و غيرها من الظروف.

الشباك....شباك الطيارة
لما كنت عزابي و كنت أسافر كنت أعمل البوردينج و أخد الشباك بس دائما دائما كان ييجيني المضيف و بكل أدب و احترام يطلب مني أبدل الكرسي مع واحد تاني عشان الزلمة بعيد عن مرتو...أو وحدة بكل أدب و احترام تطلب مني أبدل الكرسي معها عشان تقعد جمب صاحبتها....يا جماعة الخير مرة انطلب مني أبدل مع ولد صغير عشان سعادة الطفل بحب الشباك!!! و أنا طبعا بكون مستر "نايس" و بقوم و أنا ببتسم....
و في أخر سفرة من سفرات العزوبية حجزت أونلاين و اخترت الكرسي أونلاين و وقتها برضه اخترت وجبة خضار...و نسيت اني حددت الوجبة....و مرت أشهر و بس اجا موعد الرحلة كالعادة طلعت عل طيارة و زلمة طلب يبدل معي عشان يقعد جمب مرتو...بتزكر وقتها اني اتدايقت و قمت من دون ما أبتسم بوجهو....أو أعتقد اني ابتسمت ابتسامة صفراء حقيرة...و بعد ما طارت الرحلة سمعت الحرمة بتتخانق مع المضيف بتقولو أنا بدي وجبة جاج مش خضار و هو بولها لأ حضرتك طلبتي خضار و هدا موجود بالحجز...أنا كنت ماخد وجبة الجاج و مبسوووووط عليها ههههه ما رفعت راسي و قلت خليكي الله لا يردك انبسطي عل شباك....
اعتقدت انو موضوع الشباك راح ينتهي أول ما أتجوز لكني للأسف كنت علطان بالعكس تماما... زوجتي و ابني صارو همة الي بيقعدو عل شباك هههههههههه و بأخر رحلة قررت المسكينة تخليني أقعد عل شباك بس كنا راجعين من سريلانكا و كان في 3 كراسي أنا و مرتي و كمان واحد سيلاني ريحتو طالعة أستغفرو الله بتقرف!
و الله ما هنلسي أخليها تقعد جمبو...فضحيت و خليتها هية على الشباك و أنا كنت بمثابة حائط الصد لرد الرائحة الفظيعة...أو بالأحرى كنت بمثابة عازل روائح بمتص كل قرفو و هي ما بيوصلها اشي....
و هلأ بهاي الحظة الحاسمة أنا راجع عل كويت لحالي و مرتي بعد شهر راح تروح و تلحقني...و هيني و اسم الله علي قاعد عل شباك و فش حتى حدا جمبي!!!!
السؤال القوي هلأ....هل راح يضل عبود قاعد عل شباك؟ مع العلم انو الكرسي الي جمبي لحد هلأ فاضي و الطيارة حتطير بعد 10 دقايق....تابعوني و بس أوصل الكويت على خير و سلامة يا اما بعلق هون بسمايلي حزين أو بنشر شوية صور من الجو بالاس 4 😁

Game Developing
Do we need all these great graphics?
Seriously, would it make a big difference for you?
My Personal Opinion...
No at all!
When i play a game i give it From 20% - 40% for graphix
60% - 80% GamePlay
20% - 40% Story
i'm an old school fan, i liked those games back in the 80s where there was NO STORY and ugly/meaningless grafix BUT great game play
nowadays games need CONCENTRATION! more TENSE...it's not a relaxing habit it's more of HARD/EXTRA MIND WORK !
I miss oldies.....

سامسونج اس 4.... ما أهم صفاته؟
الجمعة، 15 مارس 2013
The samsung S4
Well i gotta be honest i didn't expect all this, after rumors filled the internet i was thinking that rumors were over selling the S4 but i was wrong the S4 offered much more than what has been rumored!
As I'm too sleepy here's what impressed me and maybe later i will share some more details...
1- PAUSE the video if you looked away and then resume the video when you look back.
2-take picture or video with dual cameras (the front and back cameras working the same time) this can be used in video calling too and chat.
3-take up to 100 pictures within 3 seconds.
4- have a dramatic picture if you are recording a dancer the dramatic mode will take seceral pictures of the dancer and will put it into one picture making it like a dramatic scene.
5- add sound to your photos record a short sound clip and attach it to your picture.
6- wave your hand above the screen to scroll down or up!in gallery, internet browser and for answering phone calls too! This way if your hands are dirty/oily you don't have to touch your phone! The phone will respond to your hands even if you were weari g a gloves too.
7- turn the s4 into a sound system and play the same song with other S4's without having an internet connection or even a wireless network up to 8 phones and you can assign the left/right/center speakers!
8- S Translator supporting 9 languages with internet connection just whatever you want and the phone will translate it to the other language, even better without internet connection the phone has more than 3000 pre-saved sentences in different languages catagorized imto groups to help you get by if you were in a country where you can't speak their language!
9- too many accessories like bracelet to track your body calories...and many other checks.
This is what impressed me the most there should be more of course but I'm really too sleepy now...but to keep it short... This is my next phone inshallah :)

RIP Chávez
Citizens of Valenzuela ....You have my deepest sympathy....
This man was loved by all Arabs, especially my home country Palestine, as he stood by them during the war with Israel, and Venezuela was the 1st (and only) country which welcomed any Palestinian without requiring to issue a visa...
All the respect to him, he will always be remembered as a man who cared for the poor, the weak and aimed to have a better world...
RIP Chavez ....RIP.

My seafood experience
Let's face it I'm an adventurer in food and in new things in general....i don't like fishes....i don't know how to swim but im not afraid of water i don't know what does all this have to do with #seafood but i admit it, i officially hate seafood.
Today i went to Nokhatheh النوخذة my wife loves seafood but there are many things she never tried before so i thought....hmm lets go there for her, how bad would seafood be for me? For sure I'll love something!
So we went there and it was open buffet so we eat....result?....let's just say that when i arrived home i prepared noodles!!! Fishes were everwhere tuna salamon were swimming even in the salads the only buffet counter that didn't have some sea animal was the deserts counter which by the way was not even rich!
My wife felt really bad for me, and i can tell that she was not happy seeing me trying to eat some Taboleh anf Hummos...but well, i don't regret it and im sure she loved it after all.
This is a bad experience for me, but rest assured guys I'll stay adventurer no matter how bad the results were, coz simply this is who i am :)

I hate my Birthday
I just can't resist growing old, and to top it up, i have a bad memory, i really don't remember much things about my life, not to go far, for my weeding (which was 3 years ago) i can't remember everything! even my wife sometimes tells me about stuff that happened in that day and i can't remember it, so growing old means:
- More and more forgetting about special events in my life.
- The "Shame List" is growing bigger and bigger, now i can't act like 20 years old, saying that i still play video games will make people think i'm too old for that...video games are not for kids anymore wake up people! i won't buy Rayyan a PS3 or PS4 EVER, only Wii let him play something suitable for his age...no one will be convinced with this, so 5alas i have to let it go...or at least hide the fact that i still play video games!
- More responsibilities, at work at home everywhere...everybody is expecting something wise from me, i don't mind giving my opinion on stuff but i'm not wikipedia..
-I'm not one of the three little kids anymore, here's the thing:
My parents had 4 kids in a row (with 1 - 2 years difference)
then they took a break for 6 years.
then again 2 kids came with (1 year age difference)
then break for 8 years
the my sister, me, and my last sister came to life with 2 years difference between each and everyone of us.
we were always referred to as (the three little kids = التلاته الصغار) but apparently no one will ever call me that anymore ...
- I'm 1 year closer to death, nothing is grantee in this life, i pray on time, i stay away from bad forbidden things, but you never know i might just end up in hell after all :( not to mention imagining how i will not be there for my kids for the rest of their lifes (i know...i know i'm being silly ...let me say whatever i want this is my day after all!)
- My goals are not achieved, yup i am aiming very high, will never be satisfied i know...this feeling motivates me to work harder rather than pushing me down, but i have to mention this as one of my fears.
Ohh well...after all this...Happy Birthday to me

ريان و التكنولوجيا
ابني بمسك الأيباد و يقلب الشاشات و يذهب الى لعبته المفضلة (و هي لعبة للأحرف الإنجليزية) يسمع للأغنية و من ثم يركب قطع ال(puzzle) مع بعضها و يكمل الرسمة التي أمامه و عندما يمل، يخرج الى القائمة الريسية و يذهب الى الفيديو و يفتح على فيديوات أغاني أطفال و يستمع لها...
و عندما يمل من الأيباد بتركه و يمسك موبايلي الجالكسي اس 2، و يفتح على الجاليري و يبدأ بتصفح الصور و الفيديوات ثم ينتقل الى شاشة الأرقام و يتصل بالأرقام التي يراها (طبعا نحن متعودين أن نضع الهاتف بوضع الأوفلاين) و عندما يمل من موبايلي يمسك موبايل والدته النوت و يفتح عليه الألعاب و الفيديوات.
ريان لديه القدرة و الدراية على معرفة الإعلان الموجود في اللعبة و اغلاقه و يعرف أين يجب أن يضغط لإخفاء الإعلان (اما اشارة الإكس أو أن يضغط على كلمة NO) و يعرف تماما كيف يرفع و يخفض الصوت في الأجهزة و يعرف أنه باستمراره على الضغط على زي الHome فانه يستطيع عرض التاسك مانجر و منه يختار أي من التطبيقات التي يريدها!
لطالما تمنيت/تخيلت أن يكون له مستقبل مميز في مجال التكنولوجيا و لكني لم أفكر أبدا أن ما يفعله الأن قد يعتبر بداية لشيء كبير في المستقبل و كنت أفكر بشكل جدي أن أعرض ابني على مختص لكي نسأله اذا ما كان لعبه بالأجهزة ضار أم مفيد...لكني بعد قائتي لهذه المقال فأنا على يقين أنه على الخطى الصحيحة و ان شاء الله سأنمي فيه هذا الجانب التقني!

أنا .... و أبل و الأندرويد!
الأن بعد كل ما قلت لنقل أني أعيش على أمل ظهور جهاز نوكيا يعمل بنظام الأندرويد فصناعة نوكيا جبارة متقنة و تضاهي صناعة الأيفون (ان لم تكن أفضل منه) و لكن يعيبها الإصرار على نظام السيمبيان ...أما بالنسبة للويندوز فون فللأسف ليس منتشر بكثرة و بالتالي البرامج و الألعاب ليست منتشرة أيضا لهذا لا أعتقد أني سأحول للويندوز بأي فترة قريبة...

ليلة مميزة
تالين فتحت عيونها
رجع كح
تالين فتحت أكتر
رجع كح
صحيت تالين
صار يعيط
صارت تعيط
سكت ريان
تالين لسه بتعيط
ريان مش عارف ينام من صوت عياطها
امها أخدتها و راحت بره الغرفة
ريان صحصح
طلعت أنا أخدت تالين و امهم رجعت مسكت ريان
تبادلنا الأدوار عل فاضي
الجوز بيعيطو!!!
الساعة قريبت تصير 1 و بعد 5 ساعات لازم أصحى عل دوام
عيش حياتك لحظة بلحظة كل لحظة من حياتك لها قيمة لن تعرف هذه القيمة الا عندما يرزقك ربنا بالأولاد الله لا يحرم حدا من الخلفة خليه يدوق شوي....

Fear of driving in Kuwait
In Kuwait in the past two years i had 2 accidents, one time i was in the far left and a car came out of an off desert road invaded the street moved straight from the desert crossing 1st, 2nd and hitting me in the 3rd lane... the other accident was at morning the traffic was fine suddenly one idiot completely stopped his car, some one hit him from the back, then third car stopped at the right time and i was the 4th car, received the worst damage, even i was going at max 50KM/h the airbag opened front glass completely damaged, radiator, left light, motor fan and many more things were broken...
Aside from my accidents, every day whenever someone want to pass by me, and for any tiny reason he got mad, it's very common that he will give me that look, or maybe even drive in front of me and start hitting breaks suddenly so that i lose control!
Recently i've developed a fear of driving it really scares me a lot when someone comes so close to me, i feel that my break lights are not on, and he's gonna hit me, i try my best to keep at least 5 meters between my car and the one in front of me, but cars behind me won't wait they'll come so close to me, and sometimes it's really hard (being in a heavily traffic street) it's really hard to move to the right and let them pass....
My fear was developed over time, many events effected me, the most recent one was last month, a guy was killed in PUBLIC and in the biggest mall in Kuwait (The Avenues) because he A:MOST caused an accident ALMOST nothing happened no damage was done ALMOST an accident...the guys followed him from the freeway to the mall, went to Carrefour bought some knives and stabbed him...1 hour later he was announced dead.
