See these 3 voluntary designs me and my cousin Khaled designed for Risalitna Initiative, which soon after turned out they were in such a hurry and printed some old “weak and low-quality” design that they had before.

I will let the pictures speak for themselves; 40 days have passed since the 9th of November 2005. Download this screensaver, which is a music enabled slideshow of photos i’ve taken along with my brother Yazeed for the protests and demonstrations that took place in Jordan after the sad event. I’d like to dedicate this screensaver to the victims of the attack, their families, and to Jordan. This is my second screensaver made and released due to a sad event; the first one was back in 1999 when H.M. Late King Hussein passed away. Rest in peace abu 3abdallah, and God bless the era where H. M. King Abdullah the 2nd leads Jordan.

I am fed up from my Imate PDA, from Organization point of view, although I like it much as a GSM-PDA, but the problem that I feel that dumping my ideas & to-do over a paper is more powerfull & paper can make us utilize more. I even went back for a hardcopy diary to make my notes & appointments. Through my daily deep scanning of internet, I found this website usefull. Its called PocketMod. Check what they describe it below.

“The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner. ”

Time magazine has named Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono its “Persons of the Year,” citing their charitable work and activism aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.

The magazine said 2005 was a year of extraordinary charity in which people donated record amounts in response to extreme natural disasters, from the tsunami in South Asia to Hurricane Katrina.

“Natural disasters are terrible things, but there is a different kind of ongoing calamity in poverty and nobody is doing a better job in addressing it in different ways than Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono,” said Jim Kelly, Time’s managing editor.

The 2005 “Person of the Year” package hits newsstands Monday.

“For being shrewd about doing good, for rewiring politics and reengineering justice, for making mercy smarter and hope strategic and then daring the rest of us to follow, Bill and Melinda Gates and Bono are Time’s Persons of the Year,” the magazine said.

Time praised the Gateses for building the world’s largest charity — The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has a $29 billion endowment — and for “giving more money away faster than anyone ever has” in 2005.

I think Bill & Melinda Gates, Bono deserve this title, for they have helped the world become a better a place in a way no other could do, and that unlike last year’s selection for person of the year George W Bush.

The good: All games in high-definition; excellent user-friendly Dashboard interface; built-in support for wireless controllers; excellent online gaming and communications via Xbox Live; backward compatible with many (but not all) original Xbox titles; doubles as superior digital media hub and Windows Media extender; $399 Xbox 360 bundle includes key accessories.

The bad: First wave of Xbox 360 games is somewhat anemic; noisy exhaust fan; no built-in wireless networking; only three USB ports; no support for next-gen HD movie discs; no DVI or HDMI output; doesn’t upscale DVDs to HD resolution; gigantic oversize power supply; price will almost certainly drop.

The bottom line: While it’s missing a couple of potentially important features at launch, the Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC, including impressive digital media and networking features.

My opinion: Speaking as an Xbox owner, while Xbox 360 is definitely a great gaming console and has some cool features originally available in Windows Media Center OS, I don’t think it brings too much over the first Xbox, game-wise and graphic-wise, you’re not going to feel much improvement in the graphics unless you have an HDTV, or so I read. Not to mention that there’s not so many games out for it yet. Perhaps, I should keep my Xbox and get a PS3 when it’s released for a change, either way I’m going to wait until PS3 is released to judge.
