Death Of a Bookstore ..

I was in hawallay and i Read the news of Alrubaya’an closing his Bookstore and selling every book for 250 fils ( around 1 dollar )

So i went there , and after a while of driving around and asking i finally find the basement where the books are begin sold

Entrance to teh basement

I advice you all to Go and try and give these books a new loving Home
I didn’t see much English Books , saw like 4-5 of them and 2 French books , the books are mostly Arabic

Too much books

The books I got ( all arabic )

Blogger Blocked or weak ISP ?

From the all reports from blogs like Fonzation & Zaydon Kems has blocked Blogger Site from view

Now Kems is famous for Blocking Sites when anyone demand it , i’m not pointing fingers but we remmber When aljasim site was blocked by Kems without any Court order or Even a writ en order from anyone ( which could be challenged )

Now any old Internet User in Kuwait would remember Kems as hell , As the one company which Ruined the Internet Fun for users
Dail-up which took 2-3 hours to connect and only stayed for 2 hours connected ( provided you were active on it ) and was slow and you had to pay 65 kd ( 45 if you were a student ) per month for that lousy service

We need Some kind of Law for Internet in Kuwait , you can’t just add a Filter Software and block as you like , you can’t block sites because some guy from State security Called and told you so , there should be written order by a committee to block site and you can challenge them on that verdict , not just block without any idea why or merit

Speaking of Kems i just checked the site
It has couple of problems
1- Its a comapny that offer serivce in kuwait , which the main spoken languge is arabic yet the site has no arabic section
2- The Site has no information about the company , who own it ..etc checking the other ISP sites in Kuwait Qualitynet Has a whole section about who own it
same thing with Fasttelco not to mention United Networks
