Magic Cube: Laser Keyboard

Yes, it’s here in K-town and I found it yesterday in iCity showroom for KD 55. So sharp and accurate, easy to install, small in size and is light weight! I gave it a try on MacBook Pro & iPad and it works perfectly on both. Btw, it should work on any device that has a keyboard and supports bluetooth connectivity or has a USB slot. Oh yeah, and a 1 year warranty from B2B.

Again.. available at iCity in three colors (White, Silver, and in Red) for 55 KD

iMutawa.com – My Development blog

Since I’m really into web development, and been working on web building since 1996 (When I created my 1st website), I have created this new blog to talk about web and mobile apps creation and development tools and techniques. I have posted an article there already… I’ll be more than happy to read your notes, comments, and thoughts out there :)

Note: This blog (Blog37) will remain alive and I’ll keep on posting as usual, I just wanted to keep my development articles separated because.. you know.. some of my regular reader may not be interested in reading about tech stuff or programming How-To’s!

Steve Jobs’ resignation letter

Yes it’s true as you have all heard, Steve Jobs leaves his position as Apple CEO and remains as a chairman. below is his resignation letter:

“To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community: I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee. As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role. I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve”

I hope Tim Cook keeps the Apple fresh.. as it always was

Apple to launch iOS powered TV display!?

 

It has been rumored for a very long time, a TV apple display! “The former Apple executive, speaking with us on condition of anonymity, told us that that the company’s biggest upcoming product launch will be one that hasn’t been made official yet — Apple has plans to enter the TV business.” – DailyTech. The new display is said to be large with an Apple-TV built in, but will not be developed in-house as other Apple products.

Interesting, I’m definitely getting one of those.. if launched soon. the launch is expected to be on next fall.
