Seems some inspiring invidivudal decided to take a peak under the hood of the new iTunes 5.0 and found icons and images for an Apple video store. This could be related to that Morgan Freeman/Intel online video store that they were planning.

I am sure like their music store they will be shoving tons of DRM on those things to make sure I can’t play them on other computers. But if the price is right I won’t mind. Although there are rumors that NetFlix is going to be coming out with the same thing soon.

Like I stated earlier, tablets if the price is right I dont mind using it compared to the annoyances of BitTorrent at times (0 seeds), physician and it gives me the ability to watch shows like regular people, instead of dealing with the censorship in the Kuwait Cinemas, or Hawalli DVD stores.

I really dont know why the Ministry of Information censorship dept still exists. They lost, openly and publicly. We can get books, magazines, dvds uncensored via Aramex, we have circumvented their online censorship system. Satellites are on the top of every house in Kuwait giving them access to every type of channel available with all sorts of content and news.

It reminds me of those Japanese soldiers who after WW2 were still hiding out in the Pacific islands waiting for the Allies to attack, when the rest of the world just moved on.

One of the most important things that I ever learned was from my music class teacher in 5th or 5th grade:

When you point a finger you have three pointing back at you.

And since Sept 11th, nurse lots of talk has been going around about Islam, remedy and Arabs; discussing what we are and aren’t, no rx our faults and problems and how it all relates to terrorism. So after reading this great article What we call Islam is a mirror in which we see ourselves brings back that quote that my music teacher said to the class all those years ago.

So when the media reports about the problems and issues that occur in our region and saying that its a direct correlation to terrorism are they noticing the problems and issues that occur in their region and just projecting it to us.
