Japanese Wisdom!

07.23.06

I must admit that everybody is congested and clueless as a reaction of what’s being happening to our brothers in Palestine & Lebanon. A majority even has changed his/her life theme, for example; we spend most of the time jumping from one news channel to another and on WWW side from a Newspaper Site or blog to another.

I must admit also that I have broken this rhythm and was persuaded by my friend to watch a movie in the cinema, so that we override temporarily that sad atmosphere; arab children, women & men are being killed in hundreds!!

The movie was FAST and FURIOUS 3, TOKYO DRIFT.

I am not going to start narrating about the story, but I will mention a very impressive wisdom which was the best thing in that movie. The proverb which is Japanese, was being told out by the father of the hero, who is a racing addicted guy, of not to interchange badly in the japanese society specially that the guy was trying to challenge by racing some Japanese Mafia guys.

The Proverb is:

The Nail that sticks out gets hammered

The Hammer will hit only the nail which sticks out, normal nails which are already inline will not be hammered.

Europeans, Italians… and Arabs.

I found this video to be quite funny and surprising at the time, now while I did know that driving in Italy is known to be really BAD, I didn’t realize that Italians shared that many behaviors that we have mostly everywhere in the Arab world.

One of Google’s worst fears!

07.09.06

One of Google’s worst fears may have been realised. The latest edition of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary includes the word “google” which means to use the well-known search engine to look for information on the web. The entry means that in addition to being a proper noun, the word “google” - without capitalisation of the “g” - is now a common transitive verb.

To quote Google: “We also face risks associated with our trademarks. For example, there is a risk that the word ‘Google’ could become so commonly used that it becomes synonymous with the word ’search’. If this happens, we could lose protection for this trademark, which could result in other people using the word ‘Google’ to refer to their own products, thus diminishing our brand.”

Personally, I think that if the word “google” indeed becomes a word of all dictionaries as a verb, I think it should be kept as a trademark for Google because they deserve keeping the trademark they created and became so widely used all over the world, I think it just proves how successful Google are.

Rare Picture for Ronaldo

07.03.06

I am not a fan of Brazil (My brother Yazeed is). Me, my Blood is Orange (I cheer for Holland) but since they are out (Unfortunately), I am cheering & cheering for FRANCE.

It is a 100% fact for any body who cheers for HOLLAND hates Brazil!

The reason behind so many people being so happy for yesterday’s France Win over Brazil is that the Pepsi Team, I mean the Brazilian Team, are infected with “Fake Superiority & Over Exteme Pride”. This pride needed to be broken because Brazil no longer played like before.
I admit that Brazil’s play was so beautiful and entertaining before, but not anymore. Even Ronaldhino plays better in Barcelona (My Best Team) than he does with Brazil.

Yesterday’s match was amazing, Zidanne/Henry/Rebera were all great.
For me, Brazil Team is a group of historical guys who were marketed by PEPSI :)

Now, Back to the original subject of this post. This picture of Ronaldo was taken whilst his visit to Palestine. I dont know when that was but I read that the Media started to blacklist him ever since that visit. I received this via a FW email today.
