Keep smilling
I like to listen to music. Songs in Urdu are a great fun. But I also like english songs. Since I live in Pakistan and the accent of some of the western songs is not that easy for me to pick up the first time. Infact some songs always remain a good music. I never understand a word the singer says.
So for this I search the net to find the lyrics.
But yesterday I found a software that lets you read the lyrics as the song is being played.
Evil Lyrics(via Techdigest).
This morning I wanted to install it and see how it works. I opened the zip file, double clicked the program file icon and the installation starts.
As usual, I had to read the EULA and accept it.
So started reading the agreement.

So started reading the agreement.
LICENSE GRANT. Evil Laboratories grant you a license to use one copy of the version of this SOFTWARE on any one system.
So far so good. I can install only one version of the software on only one machine. Ok, its cool. Nothing new here.
So far so good. I can install only one version of the software on only one machine. Ok, its cool. Nothing new here.
"You" means the company, entity or individual.
Ok, same as every other EULA. Lets move on.
Uh! what is this.
Ok, same as every other EULA. Lets move on.
Uh! what is this.
"Use" means storing, loading, installing, executing or displaying the SOFTWARE.
Can you believe this. How am I suppose to install if I can't store and install at the same time. It says that I can either store or install. So let me get this straight, that I can only install this software if there is no copy of the software is stored on the system. If that so, then where would the installation take the files from, that it needs. I mean the moment I double click the software file and the installation starts, I am doing both things.
Probably they were thinking that the user will understand that by storing they mean an additional software copy on the machine other than the one that is being installed.
May be, but thats not what the agreement says and if I hit the Agree button, I will be commiting a sin. Man this sure is funny.
And check this out, when I hit the Cancel button the installation asks me if I am sure I want to do that. Dude @ Evil Laboratories, you got to be kidding me. First you don't allow me to install your software without commiting a sin and then you want to know if I am sure I want to stop the installation. Dude you need to review your EULA, its very EVIL.
You know what, I am going to mail them. Don't know how many people are using this software, but all of them are committing a sin.
Because of this people, beware of the softwares you install. May Allah forgive us all.
P.S. the Evil Laboratories's site doesn't has a Contact or About section. So if anyone of you is using their software, check if they have a About option in the Help menu. If the email is given, please mail them or forward the email to me and I will mail them. Thanks.
And they call ME, crazy
I want Apple to be the Nokia of electronics.
Then I want to buy lots of Apple shares.
: )
So I am thinking how Apple's stuff can be further incorporated into our lives. And I start looking around the house thinking what can be replaced with Apple's stuff.
Yesterday I went to buy Reader's Digest and on my way back I was browsing through the pages and I saw an article on how to decorate your walls with portraits. And suddenly it hits me, how about using Apple's Cinema Display for photos. In every room we can have one or two Cinema Displays on the wall and all the displays are hooked up to some central Mini Pro.
But all the cabling scared me.
So what could we do here. I thought of using of Macbook Pros but the keyboard didn't looked that nice.
The next thought was an obvious one. iMacs. I have discussed it with one of my friends and 20" iMac seems to be the right thing.
Wait, don't laugh the idea away.
You have used computers. And most probably you have used programs that change your desktop wallpaper after some predefined peroid of time. And how often have you found yourself smilling because you saw the photo that brought back thousand emotions with the memory that was attached to that specific photo.
A chance to relive that moment once again and unexpected.
Think about it. Its not something that you should ignore. A smile changes your mood and your chemistry. An unexpected one, would make you forget the world. And an unexpected one at the moment of boredom, will change the course of your day and the level of your productivity.
Am I wrong?
But it doesn't stops here.
I searched the net for alternatives. And all I was able to find was PhotoVu. Yes this thing is a good idea and a much cheaper one. It can show photos.
But an iMac can do far more.
Have you seen those old movies that didn't had sound.
Every viewer's imagination fills the air with sounds that ie or he or she needs to hear.
How about letting your wall mounted iMac frame show you small muted clip of a birthday or a party or a nice holiday journey.
How about another look of the loved ones who aren't there anymore but their love is.
You are looking under the bed or sofa for what you lost, you get up and turn around, disappointed and suddenly your thoughts just stop to exist. Your friend left a smile through your camcorder. And you found what you were looking for.
Peace.
Silently.
Am I wrong? Would you still laugh?
And thats not enough.
No need to keep wall clocks or to worry about forgetting appointments. Your wall mounted iMac frame is always there. A wireless network.
Too lazy to go to your computer, no problem, the wall.
Imagination is the limit. Even the universe is now thought to have a limit but imagination is one thing that doesn't has limits. And mine tells me that we worry about things that are not important. It takes time for the bucket of chemicals to get empty. But we have to empty it to fill it with positive attitude. How about let an unexpected and silent smile, happiness or qoutation do that for you before its too late.
Its an improvisation that is a need far more important to be ignored.

No one can run away
As you all know I love Apple. And I want revenge on Microsoft.
I love iPod, not because its from Apple, but because it has quality, style and ease of use. Same reasons why I love Apple.
Details on Zune are out(via iLounge) and MS has proved me right. Some time back when it was confirmed that MS was working on an Mp3 player, I said that this would be path that would destroy MS.
I left my revenge against MS with Allah.
And now this is what Scott Erickson, senior director of product management for Zune, said “In total we won’t be making a profit this year, but we will of course work toward becoming a profitable business in the future.”
Apple's iPod was already well ahead of any Mp3 player, either existing or the forthcoming ones, but lowering the iPod prices allowed Apple to hit the first blow to further push Zune in darkness.
And MS think that it would profit from Zune sales in future. Once fallen you have to work twice hard to get up and this give your competitor to get even more further, due to which you have to work even more to come close to the one you are trying to beat.
And now its a matter of ego for MS and we all know how big MS's ego is. They won't give up because giving up would make them look bad, when Apple has already released its OS for intel machines.
And with all that lets not forget, Zune is an entry level device, which will undoubtly host, if not many, few problems.
Next blow for Zune will be the iPhone. Apple has already made a gap between 30gb and 80gb iPods for the iPhone. Large screen and wireless connectivity of Zune will not stand against iPhone's quality, features and ease of use.
BTW, this war between iPod and Zune, is good for us. iPod and iPhone are going to get better and better.
Don't think that small wheel on Zune will let MS stand that long.
Wishing you all the badluck MS.

Live and kicking
All is well. Not much to say. Wanted to but just couldn't write what I wanted to say.
Anyway, bought an arabic dictionary for random reading. Don't want to learn arabic without a teacher but thought that learning vocabulary is something that I have done before, so it won't be that difficult. And I am planning to learn through random reading. I have lived in Saudia Arabia and know some Arabic already and Urdu, my mother tongue, also has roots in Arabic.
Also, from now onward the main page of my blog will only have the current days entry. Rest of the entriess will be on the month's page, accessed the content area below. Thought it would be easy for those who want to see the contents first.
Well I guess thats it. See you guys tomorrow.
Have fun.

A photo from Flickr is worth thousand imaginations
I was surfing Flickr.com and found a photo of a couple sitting together. Love. It looked liked they were kissing. I couldn't tell.
But it kinda stayed with me.
Again and again I found myself thinking about it. The love.
I was listening songs and once again the image flashed infront of my eyes. Lucky people. Love.
I want to enjoy my life and love definitely tops the list. But its not just sex. Love is far more bigger. And I find something else far more pleasuring than sex. Don't get me wrong, sex is awesome(don't want to give any wrong ideas to my fiancees), but there is something better.
Sitting alone somewhere peaceful.
Not a worry in the world. If there are, leave them to Allah. Learn how to do that.
Just you two. You and your spouse. Your lover.
Sitting there and enjoying each others company. A little bag with refreshments on your side. Talking to each other. No smartphone or a tablet. Just enjoying nature. In the shadow of a tree. Safe from the heat of the sunlight. And suddenly emotions take over and there is the spark in the eyes. The touch and a kiss is carved right on the heart.
True love.
Nothing like that.
Here, at this moment in my imagination, a very lovely tune starts to make a bridge between my headphone and that kiss. And I start rocking my head.
Heaven.
And I start thinking what if both of us have our own iPods and we are listening to nice songs. But what if she is listening to something else and I am listening to something else and the rocking of the heads at the wrong time, carves a bump on our heads.
That would be a scary interruption and because of that I want someone to create an earphone with four earbuds but is hooked up to just one iPod. Or even better how about an iPod that can transmit music to two separate earphones.
Four earbuds, for two lovers but one iPod, for being one.
Please.
Ignorance
I used to consider kissing on lips or French kissing between a man and his wife something that should be done privately. All the muslim world practices that and considers it to be a sin to kiss infront of other people.
Never gave it too much thought until now.
Islam orders us to perform sex in private. Not to reveal our bodies to other people other than our spouses. Even groping is not allowed in public.
But these orders in no way stop muslim husband and wife from kissing on lips or french kissing in public.
A kiss is just a simple kiss. It is just like holding hands or hugging without any sexual intentions . The emotions that may arise while kissing your spouse on lips or with a French kiss, won't be different from those that you may feel while looking at your spouse in public. So if some one considers these emotions from such kissing to be wrong thinking that they will arouse sexual desires, should we stop looking at our spouse when we are in public?
But Quran already orders us that we can enjoy looking at the bodies of our spouses and our fiances.
This means that I can stand on a bridge with my wife. Water flowing underneath. Nature all around us. I can hold her around her waist. And I can kiss her on her lips and on her cheeks. And I can enjoy the fact that others can see our love.
It would be such a heaven.
There is nothing like heaven
With a very sad and hurt emotions, I have to tell you something.
I was out for a walk and I was thinking of ways to do aerobics. I thought of many but only walking felt nice.
Innocently I decided I will not buy a bicycle only for aerobics and I also decided that I really don't like jogging or running that much.
Very happy that I love walking and I well keep doing it, I decided to keep it my most favored form of exercise. Did not thought of its implications. Did not thought what I was doing. Did not precieved what I was putting at stake.
The death of my part of imaginations that thrives on iPod Nano and Nike+. Buying them would be a sin now.
So no iPod nano and no iPod U2.
Goodbye O sexy-and-slick-but-not-useful-to-me iPods. Don't want to commit sins for you.
Sad, very sad. And I thank Allah for that. For all those nights together with the iPod Nano and the iPod U2 in my bed. Will have to delete all their photos and saved webpages and web-snippets.
But must not get disheartened. There is still the black 80GB iPod. And God knows what is hidden in those labs at Cupertino. A tablet and a smartphone. Yeh I need that and don't want to lose them as punishment for buying Nano and U2.
No way.
: )

"...eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast till the night appears;..."(2:187)
My research on Islam proved that alot of fabrications were made to the original version of Islam. Alot was added to what we call Quran and what the prophet(pbuh) practiced.
Thats why I don't trust what they call the Shariat/Shariah(Islamic law). It is very misleading and full of sins.
In the Shariat, the fast must begin with the begining of the adhan(calling) for Fajr prayer. But the Quran orders us to begin our fast at the first signs of daybreak. It is the time halfway between the start of Fajr adhan and the start of sunrise. Its only then that we can clearly see the whiteness of day taking over the darkness of night.
We must eat and drink till then. Its an order. And commiting a sin, following a fabrication(Bidaut), in Ramazan is 70 times more punishable.
So think and take care.

Termites
Just read an interview of a friend and he seemed very angry. Probably the reporter was not the target but his answers felt as if he was angry at the reporter too.
Its clear that injustice was done to him. By the Pakistani government, people and may be his own relatives and friends. But man, he wants revenge. And may be thats one thing he is not doing.
He is complaining and there is no shame in complaining. But if you can't forget the injustice done to you, then take revenge. Complaining is not the answer. Talk to someone you trust and plan out your revenge. Discuss it.
Complaining only lets people know what was done to you. It does not brings peace to your soul.
The remedy for those scars is revenge.
Parents, cousins, friends, coworkers, countrymen, humans or animals, if they have hurt you, hurt them back.
But if its some one stronger and if you can't be as strong as they are, then in that case write your feelings down and then delete them. And with that pray that may Allah give you a chance to take revenge. It might happen or might not happen but writting will help and you won't be forgotten on the doomsday.
Words without actions, will only feul your frustration. And that my friend is not a good thing.
Life
So, still no tablet or a touch screen display from Apple. I was really disappointed when I didn't saw anything on Apple's site and none on tech blogs.
For some minutes I sat here, so sad. I want a tablet soon and I want it from Apple. I already need a smartphone and I am waiting for Apple to release it. The more time Apple takes the more I have to wait. And that I don't like.
So I asked Allah to help me. To make me happy.
I went to Flickr and found some nice photos. I love photography.
And can you believe it, Apple didn't released a camera either. I mean,... Why?
Then I opened a post from Arstechnica.com about the new Aperture 1.5 that was released yesterday.
The writer was hopping for Merom-based MacBook Pros and he said something that revitalized me.

"Oh well, there's always tomorrow..."
And yes there is always tomorrow. I know myself. One rumor and my imagination and my day dreaming will start fighting to get me the best that Apple can ever produce.
And when I was sad, I thought Apple didn't cared about us tablet, smartphone and photography lovers.
Now I know that there is no one like Apple. They care so much about us. They guard their secrets and we get to live on rumors. And there is nothing as cool as rumors that become the basis of my those so wonderful predictions.
Its just heaven. Even before it happens, its here. With me. Touching my soul.
I love Apple.
I love you all
All is well.
Keep praying and don't forget to enjoy.
Take care.

We are one
Just wanted to let you know I am ok. No to worry.
Happy ramazan and ramazan mubaruk to every one.
Keep smilling and keep praying.
Keep the faith and don't worry.
Just wanted to let you know I am ok. No to worry.
Happy ramazan and ramazan mubaruk to every one.
Keep smilling and keep praying.
Keep the faith and don't worry.
O'TanoKey, its my blog's life. 22 September
We will end it
My uncle Naseem lives upstairs and my grandmother lives with him. She called me and asked me to buy and sacrifice a goat for her. With that she wanted me to stay away from her son. I told her to stay away from me or she will be sorry.
On the way out my sho shweet auntie Farhat-the-whore saw me coming out of my grandma's room and man she turned white as if she saw death itself.
Man they are so fuckin scared.
They can't even see me in the eyes.
Man I am so happy.
The revenge has begun. A part of a promise has been fulfilled.
Next stop, RAW, the Indian intelligence.
Hahahahahahaha!
Enjoy your life
I love computers. They make life so easy. And when they are from Apple, they are fun and cool to work with.
I always wanted bigger displays. The screen real estate(SRE) is so important for productivity. Thats the reason why I want two 24 incher iMacs and hook them up to make a cluster. On one I want to run Linux and on the other I want run Mac OS. Most of the time I usually work with atleast two applications and sometimes I have to open as many as five applications.
This juggling between applications is really tiresome and confusing.
On that small SRE(1024x786) makes it even more harder to work with all these applications. And when I will get a broadband connection, browser and mail will have their own display.
But at the same time I want not too much clutter or devices on my desk. Just what I need. I like the clean look that comes with few things. Infact I surf Flickr for photos of people's desks and to get new ideas for a clean and clear and open work space.
To reduce clutter I want all my books on my mobile devices, a 7" Apple tablet and a cool black Apple smartphone.
I have been reading this report(via TUAW) and I want a 30" Apple Cinema Display to be mounted on the wall. The report states that life with a 30" Apple Cinema Display is 70% more easier and productive than with a 17" display. And I have to agree after some 14 years of computer operation.
Now since I am a touch screen guy and I want to work with movies, animations and graphics, I want Wacom's Cintiq 21UX touch screen display kind of cool display form Apple to lie just infront and below the wall mounted 30" Apple Cinema Display and in between of my two sexy 24" iMacs.
And I want my balck Apple tablet, black Apple phone, silver and black Apple DSLR camera, Apple HDTV camcorder and a black iPod Nano in the drawer. And I want a nice ergonomic chair to sit on.
All this will cost alot of money but its my need and it will make my life alot easier.
So please if you want to be happy, buy Apple products and when their life ends, by more Apple products. Because Apple wants to give quality products and wants to make your experience with computers a more pleasant one. Its good for your health. Don't worry about the money, do good and try, and money will always be there.
A royal fuck they will get
So the President of USA wants to send his troops into Pakistan territory if his 'solid intelligence information pinpointed them in that country'.
He dared to say “Absolutely,”.
Well he is welcome. We aren't sitting here just playing games.
Let the war begin.
By the way is it the same 'solid intelligence' that his people showed prior to 9/11? Or is it the same intelligence that told him there were WMDs in Iraq? And do these people consist of agents like my dear uncle Naseem and that coward Akbar Bugti?
And does he means to pinpoint 'them' the way his people pinpointed me and my contacts in the Pakistan government?
If yes, then we are happy with the games we are already playing. We don't need more games. We have other important thinks in life to do. Like romancing our wives. Thats far more important than playing hide and seek with US troops.
And you know what, I have reasons to believe that if war is brought upon Pakistan, it will be good for it. Judging from history, after wars most of the Pakistan gets united and works to build a better place. Same thing was witnessed by the whole world after the October 2004 earthquake. And I am sure that after the war a totally new Pakistan will emerge that will change the world and the way we think.
Trust me.

We are not alone
For the past five days Allah has been testing me.
I had no sure sign of what was happening. But I had Allah's signs and the proof of its help. All that is in Quran, I have been made to witness the truth behind it. And only becuase of that help I was able to keep my faith during these tests.
I couldn't tell myself that I would not be helped. Or that I have to put myself into hardship to bring about a result.
Allah is the one who orders results. And it is Its promise that only It's friends, the faithfuls, will win.
So I decided, since I can't live without Quran and Allah, than its better to take the challenge head on. Musad, CIA, Raw and their whores, hell with them all.
A few minutes back I asked my uncle Naseem that is he planning to kill me. I was asked to do that. And I thought, what the hell, lets do it. I did and now he is scared like hell. First he kept asking who told me and then started lying that I said I would kill him. Thank God a friend of mine was there and he too believes that something is wrong. Why would Naseem start lying after several times repeating the question 'who told you?'
Was he afraid that my so called 'contacts with the Pakistan government' will kill him?
Now they will not dare touch me. The fear of the unknown has been planted deep into their hearts.
Man with all their power, they are still lost.
I have been helped.

Hack the rabbit hole
Its hard to decide how to die.
I have no training in combat and I can't carry any weapon due to law.
So I am thinking, Should I resist them or should I just go with them and just get over with it.
No I will definitely resist and fight till one of us gives up. I wish I had some training in fighting, not to kill them but to have confidence. If Allah wishes even a toddler can be the reason for the deaths of these infidels.
Free your mind.
Bullets can't kill you.
But I will not resist, if Allah would tell me to just let it happen. Martyrs before me have done it. With a smile. Waited for death to meet It.
The embrace.
I mean its heaven both ways.
If I live, its heaven. If I die, its heaven.
Cool.
Its like being high. Fear and pleasure mixing. And I am enjoying it. Its like a long endless freefall.
Amazing.
The love of the of the most intelligent One that knows no bounderies.
I have faith that Allah will help either way. Signs like Random reading and how I first touched an iMac and an iPod, won't let me lie to myself that Allah won't help. It sure did when my family told me to go away. There were almonds and chocolates.
Help me escape or kill or not let me feel the pain.
But I am not sure that they would reach me. It can't be. In that case they would win and I have not done anything wrong to deserve a death from the hand of Allah's enemy, while never meeting some people I care about.
But thats what martyrdom is all about. A death in Allah's way. Heaven for the brave ones.
But still I am not sure its my time. There are events that haven't taken place and they have to take place. Feelings are attached with them. If I die now, those people will lose faith. Wonderful people they are.
I have been told that Allah has arranged for some of his people to contact me tomorrow, 20th September. They will help me get away. But you never get a 100% sure sign. Just enough. And you have to hold it and think of all the good(signs) that was sent your way. It clears your view of reallity.
And I have faith. That heaven is mine. That flesh is just a cover. Consciousness is the real thing. Its mind that matters and not the muscles. That sins are the cause of pain. That death is just a window in the midst of life.
Life forever.
Something I love, and for that very reason I must wait for the market to open and buy gifts for my four beautiful fiancees, whom I will be meeting soon.
; )
Love = Justice
Just returned from the market.
Bought the gifts.
But I am worried.
I had bought a gift for one of my fiancee few years back. At the time it was just her. But now Allah has blessed me with three more.
So obviously I wanted to give all of them gifts that are of the same price, quality and nature.
But when I came back and compared the three gifts with the one that I had bought earlier, they were different. Not the same.
At first, due to shortage of money, I thought I would tell them the truth, but thats doesn't feels right.
Money is something that will come if I have to live with little effort. So I should not worry too much about it. I have enough money to go and buy another one. But wait let me see.
Nope, all I have is Rs.115. That won't do it.
So this is what I will do. If I will get the money in time, I will go and buy another one. If not, I will leave these behind. I will give them the cards that I have bought.
God, I wanted to give them something. I hope I get some money in time.
I have to buy somethings for myself too, but if I get the money the first thing I would do is to get one more gift.
True love
I had forgotten about a promise that I had made with my fiancees.
What would I have done?
Usually when we make mistakes, we try to avoid confrontation or we try to say something that is niether a truth nor a lie.
Cleverness, something that is considered an art in todays world.
But its hypocrisy.
The fear of someone other than Allah.
Idolatry.
What did I do?
I didn't had to do anything. They punished me. Won't let me ask for forgiveness. I had to beg them. But they waited before they accepted my apology.
No they don't reply. All the replying is done through Allah.
And this punishment made me walk with my head lifted proudly. My girls know how to deal justly.
It did cross their minds that they should ignore. Don't show their anger and disappointment. To keep me happy no matter what.
But being true mislims they knew not to lie.
Hidding emotions and mimicking happiness and love for the happiness's of one's spouse is a lie.
A great sin.
The fear of the spouse's disappointment.
Idolatry.
And would have hurt me alot.
A lie breaks all trust, something that takes ages to be built.
But no, my fiancees won't lie to me. They will not hide their disappointment on my mistakes. If they can forget and laugh about my mistake, I will be greatful if they would forgive me. But if they can't forget the injustice that was done to them, I would feel blessed to be punished by them.
This way I will know for sure that they are truely happy with me. That their feelings for me contain no doubts. And this would truely allow us to enjoy each other's company, forever.
The heaven of love is only for the brave ones.
Observing is believing
Sometimes, I feel that I was unable to judge my hunger. There is not much difference in hunger and in desire for food.
But yesterday I was taught how to know when I am really hungry. When my body really needs food. I wanted to know this because I did not wanted to make my body wait when it really needed food.
I had been feeling one of those sensations that start to occur when you are not that hungry but a desire is there to eat. Its kind of a slight pain in the lower chest area near the stomach.
But science tells us that when our stomachs are empty and our body needs food, HCL is produced in to stomach. And that produces a burning sesation around the area between chest and abdomen.
I was ignoring those sensations of desire for food and had gotten up to walk around and do some exercise. After few seconds I felt that burning sensation. So I was hungry.
But later I tried to experiment this theory of mine and I got that burning sensation twice and rest of the time there was none.
So I assumed that so far my theory was right. I will keep testing it.
But for now if you want to check if your body really needs food and its not just your desire for food. Walk around a little and you will soon find out.
Its hard to decide how to die.
I have no training in combat and I can't carry any weapon due to law.
So I am thinking, Should I resist them or should I just go with them and just get over with it.
No I will definitely resist and fight till one of us gives up. I wish I had some training in fighting, not to kill them but to have confidence. If Allah wishes even a toddler can be the reason for the deaths of these infidels.

A screen capture of a poll result from BBC site.
I know it doesn't means much but still I feel so happy. BTW, to see the results second time I din't entered another vote, I just pressed the 'vote' button without any option selected.
There is another reason for me to be happy. Musad, CIA, RAW and their slaved whores Mr. and Mrs. Retd. Major Naseem Peracha want me dead. And Microsoft has been helping them.
Long live Apple and CEO Steve Jobs.
Apple priced their iPod at $349 which took microsoft by surprise. MS was hoping to sell Zune at $400. But now they will have to endure a loss to be competitive. Because at $400 they can not expect to compete with roaring iPod-ITMS sales.
Its loss either way for them. They have started their walk to self destruction.

A plane was taking off from Kennedy. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth flight, Now sit back and relax. - OH MY GOD!"
Silence
Then, the captain came back on the intercom and said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in Coach said: "That's nothing. He should see the back of mine!"

Donna's husband Mike died suddenly one day. Donna was taking care of the funeral arrangements with the undertaker when she was asked how she wanted Mike's obituary to read.
Donna asked the undertaker, "How much does an obituary cost?" The undertaker replied, "One dollar per word."
Donna then said, "I want the obituary to read - MIKE IS DEAD."
The under taker was an old fishing buddy of Mike's and he was a little disturbed by such a curt obituary, so he offered,
"I'll make you a special deal since I knew Mike so well. I'll pay for half of the obituary out of my own pocket."
Donna's face lit up and she replied, "Great. I want it to read - MIKE IS DEAD, BOAT FOR SALE."
Joke
A pretty young blonde woman was visiting her new doctor for the first time found herself alone in a small waiting room. She began undressing nervously, preparing herself for the upcoming examination. Just as she draped the last of her garments on the back of a chair, a light rap sounded on the door and a young doctor strode in.
Coming to an abrupt halt, the doctor looked his nude patient up and down carefully and with considerable appreciation.
"Miss Jones" he said finally, "it seems quite obvious to me that until today you have never undergone an eye examination!"
Joke
An elderly couple are enjoying an anniversary dinner together in a small tavern. The husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you.
"Yes," she says, I remember it well.
"Ok," he says, "How about taking a stroll round there again and we can do it for old time's sake.
"Oooooooh Henry, you devil, that sounds like a good idea," she answers.
There's a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, "I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble." So he follows them.
They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence.
The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her knickers down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs on to the fence, the old man moves in.
Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. They are bucking and jumping like eighteen-year-olds. This goes on for about forty minutes!
She's yelling, "Ohhh, God!" He's hanging on to her hips for dear life.
This is the most athletic sex imaginable.
Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground. The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, still watching thinks, that was truly amazing, he was going like a train. I've got to ask him what his secret is.
As the couple pass, he says to them, "That was something else. You must have been having sex for about forty minutes. How do you manage it? You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of secret?"
The old man says, "Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."
Joke
On a cool afternoon, a guy runs down the street outside the saloon shouting "Big Mike's a' comin'! Head for the hills! Run for your lives! Big Mike's a' comin'!"
Just then, the saloon doors burst open and in rides a guy, easly 8' and 400 pounds, riding an ox and carrying a rattlesnake as a whip. He approaches the bar.
"Gimme a drink!"
Trembling, the bartender hands him a bottle of whisky which the guy downs in single gulp. He smashes the bottle on the bar, gathers up the shards, pops them in his mouth, and crunches them down with a smile of satisfaction.
Bartender nervously asks: "Can I get you another, sir?"
"Nah. I gotta get out of here. Big Mike's a' comin'."

Joke
A plane was taking off from Kennedy. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth flight, Now sit back and relax. - OH MY GOD!"
Silence
Then, the captain came back on the intercom and said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"
A passenger in Coach said: "That's nothing. He should see the back of mine!"
Joke
Donna's husband Mike died suddenly one day. Donna was taking care of the funeral arrangements with the undertaker when she was asked how she wanted Mike's obituary to read.
Donna asked the undertaker, "How much does an obituary cost?" The undertaker replied, "One dollar per word."
Donna then said, "I want the obituary to read - MIKE IS DEAD."
The under taker was an old fishing buddy of Mike's and he was a little disturbed by such a curt obituary, so he offered,
"I'll make you a special deal since I knew Mike so well. I'll pay for half of the obituary out of my own pocket."
Donna's face lit up and she replied, "Great. I want it to read - MIKE IS DEAD, BOAT FOR SALE."
Joke
A pretty young blonde woman was visiting her new doctor for the first time found herself alone in a small waiting room. She began undressing nervously, preparing herself for the upcoming examination. Just as she draped the last of her garments on the back of a chair, a light rap sounded on the door and a young doctor strode in.
Coming to an abrupt halt, the doctor looked his nude patient up and down carefully and with considerable appreciation.
"Miss Jones" he said finally, "it seems quite obvious to me that until today you have never undergone an eye examination!"
Joke
An elderly couple are enjoying an anniversary dinner together in a small tavern. The husband leans over and asks his wife, "Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind this tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you.
"Yes," she says, I remember it well.
"Ok," he says, "How about taking a stroll round there again and we can do it for old time's sake.
"Oooooooh Henry, you devil, that sounds like a good idea," she answers.
There's a police officer sitting in the next booth listening to all this, and having a chuckle to himself. He thinks, "I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble." So he follows them.
They walk haltingly along, leaning on each other for support, aided by walking sticks. Finally they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence.
The old lady lifts her skirt, takes her knickers down and the old man drops his trousers. She turns around and as she hangs on to the fence, the old man moves in.
Suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the watching policeman has ever seen. They are bucking and jumping like eighteen-year-olds. This goes on for about forty minutes!
She's yelling, "Ohhh, God!" He's hanging on to her hips for dear life.
This is the most athletic sex imaginable.
Finally, they both collapse panting on the ground. The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life that he didn't know. After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, still watching thinks, that was truly amazing, he was going like a train. I've got to ask him what his secret is.
As the couple pass, he says to them, "That was something else. You must have been having sex for about forty minutes. How do you manage it? You must have had a fantastic life together. Is there some sort of secret?"
The old man says, "Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence."
Joke
On a cool afternoon, a guy runs down the street outside the saloon shouting "Big Mike's a' comin'! Head for the hills! Run for your lives! Big Mike's a' comin'!"
Just then, the saloon doors burst open and in rides a guy, easly 8' and 400 pounds, riding an ox and carrying a rattlesnake as a whip. He approaches the bar.
"Gimme a drink!"
Trembling, the bartender hands him a bottle of whisky which the guy downs in single gulp. He smashes the bottle on the bar, gathers up the shards, pops them in his mouth, and crunches them down with a smile of satisfaction.
Bartender nervously asks: "Can I get you another, sir?"
"Nah. I gotta get out of here. Big Mike's a' comin'."

Let the flow be a flow
I just came from the market. Went to have a cold drink.
The moment I set foot out of my house, the thought was there that some one would be following me to kill me.
A car or a motorcycle and my heart would start beating faster.
Once and twice. But when it kept happening again and again, I started doubting myself. My trust and faith in Allah. I know they can't touch me if Allah wishes. And I have been right so there is no reason for Allah to give me in thier hands. So why this.
Is it fear?
Yes it is. That is clear.
But very little. Because I was out there. Didn't felt nothing when I was alone. It was only when something I couldn't see would approach me from behind. Or a suspicious looking person or vehicle from the front. And I would be normal once they crossed me. Not a single thought about it.
Then does that mean I am weak? Not a true faithful? A believer?
No that can't be possible.
There must be an explaination for this.
And once again the Mighty was there to help with a smile.
I am human.
Emotions are due to chemicals that can't be turned on or off like a switch.
Emotions are like a bucket full of water. You have to empty the bucket to pour more water in it. And that takes time.
So its normal. Its ok to be afraid or angry or sad or doubtful. Whats not ok is to let yourself be like that once you know you are doing wrong. Don't be shy once you remember that there is no wrong in doing the right. Thats the way of the brave ones.
Its human.
Thanks.

Hahahahahahaha!
Soon I would be leaving Pakistan.
Yes, my uncle Naseem and my auntie Farhat have decided to kill me. They have hired a professional killer.
They have two reasons for this.
I helped Allah in achieving good by killing Akbar Bugti. My uncle Naseem worked for him. He provides them information regarding ISI. They were planning to help USA take over Pakistan. One of their men started trusting me and I traped him. He fell for it and he called Akbar Bugti. The Pakistan government was already keeping a tab on him and had reasons to believe he was helping the Indians. But with this call they uncovered the whole network of Akbar Bugti and USA. Now these disbelievers want revenge. My uncle Naseem was asked to find if I was working for someone.
Earlier he told them that he could not find out anything about me. There wasn't anything to find. My links were with Allah. But my uncle Naseem wanted me dead for another reason too. My grandmother is willing to give me Rs.10 million, in cash and in property. And my uncle doesn't wants that. Money was the reason he killed my father through magic.
So he lied to them that I am working for ISI. It was today, 9/17/2006. He was blamed for not giving the right information and was told that now its his job to see that I die.
So my father's brother Naseem and his wife Farhat have made a very sinister deal.
My auntie Farhat will sleep with this professional killer for nine days, starting from yesterday.
After that I will be killed.
I have just been told this.
Obviously I wanted revenge.
But instead Allah told me that I should leave the revenge to It. And I was ordered to tell every one the truth.
Well the infidels are going to be punished. From USA to India to Naseem.
Now its personal.
Fuck them.

Was the light in the dark
Last night I found out the reason why I like computers so much.
I was told that I was never actually loved by anyone.
Didn't knew that. Thought there were people who loved me.
But I have been taught how to love by my faincees. How much they gave up for me. And accepted me and my believes.
So last night I was trying to count the number of people who weren't selfish with me. Who accepted me.
At first I knew there were some names, but when for ten to fifteen minutes I couldn't find a single person, I was shocked. I tried even harder but no good. None. From 1975 to 2004. 29 years and I was all alone.
It was painful.
A blow.
Tears started falling from my eyes.
Slowly my past started to clear up. Every one looked similar. They treated me they way they wanted. No justice. None of them.
And all the time I wanted for them to enter heaven.
: )
And I believed in love.
: )
And honesty. And justice.
And yet these very same people would hurt me and later would come back to hurt me agian. Even now. They treat me as if I am something dead. I have to fight to remind them. To get the right to live.
And these are the people whom I considered home.
Couldn't take it anymore. The tears were burning on my face. My eyes couldn't see clearly. There had to be some one. In Quran Allah says that I have kept easiness with difficulty. So there has to be some one.
And yes there was.
Computers.
No they didn't loved me, But I enjoyed working with them alot. There were days when I only looked forward to be pleased by my computer. By understanding Windows. By playing with Macromedia Flash. By surfing the net. By trying to learn things beyond how to install Linux. Ah! how much I was in love with the open source movement. Still am. That penguin was my friend. The past fourteen years. We have been so close to each other that I rate computers second to people in my life.
Then came Apple. It didn't replaced the penguin but Allah's orders for easiness and quality made me place Apple on top of the penguin. And the fruit pleased me alot. The bird was not jealous. It wasn't its nature. But I liked it's spirit. So Allah gave me a solution. Two 24 incher iMacs. One for the bird and one for the fruit.
A smile came. Peace took over. Yes there was someone. Up there. Taking care. It did took care. Because it knew how to.
And no, I was not as alone as I thougt I was. And if I am given thousands lives, every time I will choose the same life. Because thats what it choosed for me. The best.
Thanks.

The Creator, created psychology
I don't worry about money. If I have it, I spend it to make my life easier. I don't save. I just keep spending it on my needs and for charity. And if I don't have it, I wait for Allah to either reward my efforts for searching for a job or provide money for me through some other means. But my relation with money, is this way, because I don't have a source of income. So all the money that I get eventually has to end up.
But what would happen after I get a source of income. Yes I would spend the money on my needs and to make my life easier. And no I won't give the rest of the money in charity. Just the amount that I feel will not put me in trouble.
But how to decide what amount of money I can give in charity and what amount I can keep for myself.
This question has been bothering me. Because in Quran Allah says that we should spend money to make our lives easier, to help others and not to waste money on things that we don't need. And if we acted against this we will be blamed.
All this is fine. But I recently read something in quran that really showed me that Allah cared about us.
Alot.
Asking us to spend moderately and to make our lives easier, I think is enough for us to know how to spend. But Allah who loves Its creation with a love that equals the motherly love of seventy women, doesn't stops there.
As I said earlier, that sense of security is also our need. Peace of mind is also our need. But before this I used to think that Allah's signs would be enough. And I have experienced them to be enough. Because It always provided after I tried as much as was easy for me.
But again Allah's love doesn't stops there. It had to prove that It is worthy of being your God, the Allah.

"Those of you who die and leave widows should bequeath for their widows a year's maintenance and residence; but if they leave there is no blame on you for what they do with themselves provided it is reasonable and Allah is Exalted in Power Wise."(2:240)
In this ayah Allah tells us men that if some one among us sees his death nearing should leave a house and a pocket money that should last a year for his widow.
Quran does not stops women from getting a job. So a widow can find a job to provide for herself and Allah would help her. And it is evident from the above verse. It clearly says that if a widow doesn't takes this money and house, Allah the Wise will help her find reasonable ways to live. Her husband won't be blamed.
But Allah orders us to leave money and house for the widow.
Why? so that she could have the sense of security and peace of mind, that if she is unable to find a job she has the money to live on and keep trying. Allah will help her further.
The question that arises here is aren't men and their wives and unmarried women and men and human from the other sex, entitle to this blessing. This sense of security and peace of mind.
Isn't justice Allah's priority?
Yes it is.
And yes because of that every one is entitled to this blessing.
Start earning money what ever you can easily while enjoying your life. Spend on your needs and make your life eaiser. Don't put yourself in difficulty by being a miser. Calculate what is your average expense of living for a month. Take the upper limit and add it for twelve months. Start saving to collect that amount and only after that start giving away charity with moderation.
This money is there for you to spend when you don't have a source of income. Or when you need more money than what you already had in surplus of this saved money.
Which means that since I am jobless I cannot spend money on charity untill and unless I have an amount of money that would last me and my family, a year.
Isn't it perfect.
A proof of Allah's love.
Only Allah would think like that.
A sign of its existance.
And yes I read this ayah while testing my theory of random reading on Quran.
Enjoy.

Science
Allah tells us to search for Its signs. Without these signs we cannot believe Allah as It should be believed.
The signs have been hidden in the world around us and we need to observe and experiment to expose the signs. Only then we will become true believers. The Faithfuls.
It is only becuase of that, that I try to understand our world. And because of that I want to test my new theory of random reading. Rather than reading books and magazines cover to cover, I wanted to see how it would be if I only read what I liked or what I randomly opened.
I was thinking that since God is all that Mighty, it can help me get the right knowledge and would help me avoid the burden of trying to gain or understand all the knowledge that a book is trying to give.
I can't wait to get married. And I am sure my fiancees also can't wait. But one day I will become theirs. I don't know when that will be but I hope it is soon. So I wanted to understand the process of marriage and how it was practiced by prophet Mohummad(pbuh).
So I went out and bought a book. It had 638 pages. And since I want to get married asap, I was thinking that I would have to read it cover to cover finish it quickly because I don't know when I may get married.
So, very happily I entered my room. The book in my hand. A feeling of achieving something big soon, with me. A dream of getting married. Being loved. The first meeting. That butterfly feeling. I sat on my bed and set the pillow behind me. Raised the book. Read the name once more. Mushrot e Nikah(Requirements of marriage). So I am really going to get married. Wow!
I am about the open the book when Allah intervenes and fulfills Its promise.
A sign.
A love.
A thought comes to my mind. Why not first try my theory of random reading on this book too. Ok. Nothing to lose. I just seperate the pages somewhere in the middle and bang.
This is the first line.

"One of the requirements of marriage is that the groom should be able to support and provide for the bride/s."
And slowly my lips convert into a smile. My faith is shooting skyward. My trust getting even more stronger.
The One is truely Mighty.
I don't have a source of income. But I have reasons to believe that soon I will be given one. But Don't know when I will be able to support and provide for my fiancees. Which means I don't have to complete the book that soon. So I can read it when ever I like and what ever I like. And gain the knowledge randomly and only select the right one. And when there is a need I will just whisk through it from cover to cover.
I have been aided.

Few days a friend visited me. He was leaving for UK and wanted to say good bye. He went there for higher studies.
He was not happy here. Not satisfied. Was in search for peace.
Just like every one else he too thinks that his efforts are directly responsible for the results that he gets in life.
For that very reasons he thinks that going to UK will change his life. He will be peaceful there.
He understands why I believe in Allah the way I do. But he is not ready yet to accept completely and to practice this way.
I did not wanted to dishearten him but at the same time I wanted him to move on to the next level. Step by step. Evolution.
I asked him what were his plans. He said if nothing else, he would like to earn money even if he has to live like an animal.
He probably was thinking that a decade like that would give him enough for the rest of his life.
So I asked him why would he like to earn that much money or why does anyone earns money?
He said that it was a need. I said yes but it is a need only because every one wants to live their life in peace. They don't want troubles. Hardship. Thats why every one works hard to make their lives as much easier as possible. And still none are happy or at peace.
Every one has excepted life as something that comes with both pain and pleasure.
But I believe that life can be full of pleasures only. We can avoid pain. We can be completely at peace.
We don't have to go aboard and live like an animal.
We just have to follow Quran and we can be happier once we change our lives. Once that is done, it doesn't matter where we live.
But he is unable to accept it to an extent where he is willing to practice this because he hasn't found Allah. Or Allah hasn't shown Itself to him.
People, please if you want to be happy, find you God. For some its money, for some its idols, for some its their family and for some its fear. For me its the unseen Allah whose signs I find every where and in every step.
Istakhara is one very big sign. Pray and sleep and you might see a dream. And Quran is even a bigger sign.
Islam does not asks you to change yourself overnight. All I am saying is start practicing what is easy for you. If you don't see the signs you can always go back. But if you are shown the signs, you change only when you have the confidence to do so. When you see your own good in that change. Only then.

Just like every one else he too thinks that his efforts are directly responsible for the results that he gets in life.
For that very reasons he thinks that going to UK will change his life. He will be peaceful there.
He understands why I believe in Allah the way I do. But he is not ready yet to accept completely and to practice this way.
I did not wanted to dishearten him but at the same time I wanted him to move on to the next level. Step by step. Evolution.
I asked him what were his plans. He said if nothing else, he would like to earn money even if he has to live like an animal.
He probably was thinking that a decade like that would give him enough for the rest of his life.
So I asked him why would he like to earn that much money or why does anyone earns money?
He said that it was a need. I said yes but it is a need only because every one wants to live their life in peace. They don't want troubles. Hardship. Thats why every one works hard to make their lives as much easier as possible. And still none are happy or at peace.
Every one has excepted life as something that comes with both pain and pleasure.
But I believe that life can be full of pleasures only. We can avoid pain. We can be completely at peace.
We don't have to go aboard and live like an animal.
We just have to follow Quran and we can be happier once we change our lives. Once that is done, it doesn't matter where we live.
But he is unable to accept it to an extent where he is willing to practice this because he hasn't found Allah. Or Allah hasn't shown Itself to him.
People, please if you want to be happy, find you God. For some its money, for some its idols, for some its their family and for some its fear. For me its the unseen Allah whose signs I find every where and in every step.
Istakhara is one very big sign. Pray and sleep and you might see a dream. And Quran is even a bigger sign.
Islam does not asks you to change yourself overnight. All I am saying is start practicing what is easy for you. If you don't see the signs you can always go back. But if you are shown the signs, you change only when you have the confidence to do so. When you see your own good in that change. Only then.

Need
It was 1:30am and I was up dialing my way to Apple.com.
What was I hoping for, obviously a tablet. Ok! I admit, I wasn't sure but hey almost everyone was almost 100% sure that a large screen iPod was coming.
But instead we get better iPods.
Am I disappointed?
Hell no.
Have I given up on a touch screen device from Apple?
NEVER.
Will I predict anymore?
You bet I will. There is nothing like trying to guess what Apple will launch next. The day dreaming process is just wonderful. Even before I get it, I have used my Apple tablet almost every where and now its time to replace the battery. It just couldn't keep up with my imagination.
: )
And I still say a touch screen device is on the horizon. May be paris or may be on the 25th. But its going to happen. How about a touch screen display. And now movies can be downloaded with a resolution 640x480, giving a 'Near-DVD' experience. 640x480 instead of 320x240, could that be for a tablet? I hope so.
Anyway, I like the new Nanos. The black one is simply out of this world and scratch resistant. The silver one comes second to it. And a 80gb iPod. Wow! And its with all that cool software. Nice. And to tell the truth I am not that anthusiastic about a large screen iPod. I like the pysical click wheel. Every time I think of a large screen on iPod, I start to miss the physical click wheel. Nothing can replace the physical click wheel but with Apple and Steve Jobs, you never know. So I am very happy with the increased battery life and screen brightness.
Earlier I wanted an iPod U2 but after spending alot of hours downloading video clips and ads from Youtube, I don't think that sweet U2 will sufice my needs.
And since Samsung(via Engadget) has been able to make 32gb and 64gb compact flash cards, can we see iPods with CF slots. I hope we do. All those moving parts are not that reliable. Or may be we can expect CF slots in the Apple tablet or phone or the camera.
: )
And I have no idea what to do with iTV, but it sure looks sexy. Till it gets ready for sales and I get to read some reviews, all I will keep saying about it is, 'Man that thing sure is sexy'.
Apple can I have the 8gb black iPod nano for music and walks, the 80gb balck iPod and two of those slick 24 incher iMacs. And please, a tablet or a touch screen display or a camera, what ever it is I want it.
Random selection
For the last few days I have been thinking about how to gain knowledge from books.
Usually I read my books cover to cover. This way I always finish novels but any other book and it takes time. Partly because I by nature am a perfectionist and if I buy a book to gain knowledge I want to gain all the knowledge that it contains. Reading the book from cover to cover and in the order it was written gives me the feeling that I will not skip any knowledge. And also because earlier money meant alot to me since I didn't had much and so not gaining all the knowledge felt like a lose of money.
But after studying Islam I have changed my way.
Now for me money is not that important. I want to earn money because I am told to try to earn in quran and to spend it to make my life easier. So now money is not a priority. Feelings are.
I would read books cover to cover thinking that I should gain all the knowledge. Knowledge is power, right. But Islam teaches us that if we do good, Allah will help us. So is it difficult for Allah to help me attain the right knowledge rather all the knowledge that I can get. Righ knowledge is power.
For the past few days I have been thinking of changing the way I recite the translation of the quran. Rather than reading it cover to cover, I am thinking of reading it randomly. Just open it and start reading it. I have done it and found this more fun. Or search it for verses on what might help me decide what I have to do in a certain situation.
I do get the feeling that I may miss some thing, but no, I won't, because I have faith in the Mighty who knows when I need which knowledge.
Nib the evil in the bud
Last night I was at a book fair. Bought the book 'Ship'. I bought it because it had lots of pictures and not that much to read. Wanted to apply my theory of random reading on it.
But last night I was thinking about downloading it from the internet. Should I do that?
Earning money from books is sin. Books should only be charged for the cost that came in the making of them. From paper to composing to its place on the bookstore being run by the government.
But at the same time scanning books for the purpose of distributing them is also a sin. Every book that is protected by copyright law and prohibits scanning other than for personal use should not be scanned and distributed.
Some think that knowledge is free and that they are just spreading knowledge. First of all there are other way to spread knowledge, like the internet. And when some one buys or owns a book they automatically become bound by the copyright law, untill and unless they are in a country that has no piracy laws or are downloading in such a place, and breaking laws or agreements is a sin.
Some may promote piracy because they believe that this act would hurt their enemy, who is earning alot through copyright. Islam is against that too. This is business. If your enemy is earning money through some product from your people, your people are also earning money by selling products and services to your enemy. Wars are a way to promote justice, its not something that goes on forever. Normally we all have to live our lives and do business all across the world. We have to deal with all kind of people. Practicing such acts will only bring wars into our lives, forever. Nothing will remain normal.
I am not saying that the current system of making a business out of selling books and knowledge should accepted. All I am saying that piracy is not the solution.
If you want a change, don't think small. Plan to bring about a change at the government level. Unite first and when your power is enough, only then fight. Don't bring about a change, let Allah give you a chance, if It wishes. Pray for it.
Similarly piracy of movies and softwares is a sin. Change the government that promotes the selling of knowledge. But do that through gradually. War is the last option. And suicide bombers should not be used.
Trust in Allah. Thats the way of the true Momin.

Joke
Two women were sitting in the doctor's waiting room comparing notes on their various disorders.
"I want a baby more than anything in the world," said the first, "But I guess it is impossible."
"I used to feel just the same way," said the second. "But then everything changed. That's why I'm here. I'm going to have a baby in three months."
"You must tell me what you did."
"I went to a faith healer."
"But I've tried that. My husband and I went to one for nearly a year and it didn't help a bit."
The other woman smiled and whispered, "Try going alone, next time, dearie."
Joke
A young couple was invited to a swanky masked Halloween party. The wife came down with a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party and have a good time. Being the devoted husband, he protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed. She told him there was no need for him to miss the fun. So he took his costume and away he went.
The wife, after sleeping soundly for one hour, awakened without pain, and as it was still early, she decided to go to the party. Because hubby did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some kicks watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not around. She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor. He was dancing with every nice chick he could, and copping a feel here and taking a little kiss there. His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new "action".
She let him go as far as he wished; naturally, since he was her husband. Finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had a little bang. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped out, went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would have for his notorious behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in, and she asked him what he had done. He said, "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there." Then she asked, "Did you dance much?" He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got to the party, I met Pete, Bill and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening. But I'll tell you... the guy that I loaned my costume to sure had one helluva time!"
Joke
A rich Beverly Hills lady got very angry at her French maid. After a long list of stinging remarks about her shortcomings as a cook and housekeeper, she dismissed the maid. The maid, with her Gaelic ancestry, couldn't allow such abuse to go unanswered.
"Your husband considers me a better housekeeper and cook than you, Madame. He has told me himself."
The rich bitch just scowled and said nothing.
And furthermore," the angry girl continued, "I am better in bed than you!"
"And I suppose my husband told you that, too?"
"No, Madame," said the maid. "The chauffeur told me that!"
Joke
A blonde walked into a doctor's office with a hole in her hand. The doctor told her that he had to report all gunshot wounds, and this was an obvious gunshot wound, so would she please explain how it happened?
The blonde said, "Well, to be honest with you, I was trying to commit suicide, so first I stuck the gun in my mouth, but thought, wait a minute, I just had all that bridge work done, and I don't want to ruin it.
So, I pointed the gun between my eyes, and then thought, wait a minute, I just got a nose job not too long ago, and I don't want to ruin it! Then I pointed the gun at my heart, and thought, wait a minute, I just had these boobs done, and I don't want to ruin them!
So then I stuck the gun in my ear, and thought, wait a minute, this is going to be loud!"
Joke
Two men waiting at the Pearly Gates strike up a conversation. "How'd you die?" the first man asks the second. "I froze to death," says the second.
"That's awful," says the first man. "How does it feel to freeze to death?"
"It's very uncomfortable at first", says the second man. "You get the shakes, and you get pains in all your fingers and toes. But eventually, it's a very calm way to go. You get numb and you kind of drift off, as if you're sleeping. How about you, how did you die?"
"I had a heart attack," says the first man. "You see, I knew my wife was cheating on me, so one day I showed up at home unexpectedly. I ran up to the bedroom, and found her alone, knitting. I ran down to the basement, but no one was hiding there, either. I ran up to the second floor, but no one was hiding there either. I ran as fast as I could to the attic, and just as I got there, I had a massive heart attack and died."
The second man shakes his head. "That's so ironic," he says. "What do you mean?" asks the first man. "If you had only stopped to look in the freezer, we'd both still be alive."

Apple have mercy
For the past few days I have been enjoying Youtube. Nice thing. Alot of it. Yes, I did checked out the similar services being offered by Yahoo and Google but Youtube just kind a stuck with me. May be because of the number of users it has. Which means it has the largest number of clips.
Also because I can download from Youtube using one of the user scripts with the greasemonkey extension in Firefox. I have read the 'Terms of Use' of Youtube and they do allow the user to use the stuff from their site for personal use. And they also do not stop the users from viewing their pages in the way the user wants. Greasemonkey adds the link to the video and you can download it. And they have also asked people to notify them if their is a copyright violation and they will take action against the video in question.
Yes, its cool.
I wish Apple would let us do that. They have specifically mentioned in their ToU that the user can not view their site in any way other than the way they want the user to view it. So if I visit their site with my images off, I would be commiting a sin, never mind adding the download link to embeded media content. BTW I did found a Greasemonkey script for that too.
I wish they would change that. And let me download all the quick time videos.
: )
Anyway, Youtube has proved to be a double blessing.
Islam orders us to use this world according to our needs. I love iPod U2 but with nano and the Nike+ thing I don't need that sooo coool red click wheel. Don't have that big music collection.
But Youtube has shown me a reason for owning both, the Nano and the U2.
I know I need Nike+iPod Nano. I love to walk and exercise and this combo thing is sweet and just right for my need. Motivation.
I am not that enthusiastic on having a large collection of full legth videos but ads, trailers, video clips(both from movies and TV) and those fan made audio-visual synchronizations are just amazing and so much fun to have while you are away from your LCD/HDTV. And for this cool video stuff I would need an iPod Video. Or will it be the iPod U2.
You know what, I am not that sure its going to to be iPod U2. Do you know why? Because there is a rumor that Apple might be launching a video device. My bets are on a tablet and a Phone/iPod/video thing. At first I thought that the tablet would be released on the 25th of this month just before the Photokina show in Germany.
But I now think differently. We may see a camera being launched on the 25th. Which makes a perfect sense since Apple's iLife suite is so strong and well grounded among Mac users. I don't know much about cameras but I would like to see a camera that is a good HDTV quality camcorder and a DSLR. Don't know if that is possible. With QuickTake and iSight experience behind them, I think Apple should very much release a digital camera. And not to forget that a reader at Arstechnica.com was unable to find an iSight. Is it because a new camera was coming soon?
But I asked Allah about these two events on the 12th and the 16th of this month and I was told to think about why they were announced after the announcement of the event on the 25th.
Looking back at Apple's history, this sure is not their style. They usually let people know about their upcoming events only two weeks beforehadnd. I am pretty sure that the 25th won't only be about Apperture 2.
So what could there be on the 12th. It seems to me that this date was announced after the 25th one because they weren't sure when to set the date. Its like they were waiting to hear from someone and wanted to decide on the date after that. So they announced the date of the event on the 25th, thinking they would have to do the 12th's event sometime later. But they were wrong.
Now we already know that atleast Walt Disney will be there on ITMS. May be some other major studio could not decide earlier. What else could it be. May be some celebrity will be there with Steve who had some schedule problem.
Anyway, I think that the tablet would be launched on the 12th with movies and ebooks on ITMS. With that Apple might release a true video iPod w/o large screen. If its really good for video which I think it would be than I would have to once again give up the idea of getting myself an iPod U2.
Now we all know that when it comes to iPod's popularity, Europe tops the list. So it would make sense to use the Paris Expo on the 16th to launch a new iPod. Or they might launch the phone at Paris Expo.
We did hear that Steve was praising Apple phone to friends. Which means he likes the device and might like to launch it himself. Now it might be possible that this phone my have a large screen and can be used for watching videos. So we might see the phone too on the 12th. Or may be the phone gets released some where in October or November, just before the holidays. We might see the iPod being updated then too.
And there are also some 23" iMac rumors doing the rounds on the internet. That might get launched too.
So a tablet, a phone, a video iPod, a camera and iMac and MBR update all have the possibilities of being launched. This is how I see them being launched;
12th

With QuickTake and iSight experience behind them, I think Apple should very much release a digital camera. And not to forget that a reader at Arstechnica.com was unable to find an iSight. Is it because a new camera was coming soon?
But I asked Allah about these two events on the 12th and the 16th of this month and I was told to think about why they were announced after the announcement of the event on the 25th.
Looking back at Apple's history, this sure is not their style. They usually let people know about their upcoming events only two weeks beforehadnd. I am pretty sure that the 25th won't only be about Apperture 2.
So what could there be on the 12th. It seems to me that this date was announced after the 25th one because they weren't sure when to set the date. Its like they were waiting to hear from someone and wanted to decide on the date after that. So they announced the date of the event on the 25th, thinking they would have to do the 12th's event sometime later. But they were wrong.
Now we already know that atleast Walt Disney will be there on ITMS. May be some other major studio could not decide earlier. What else could it be. May be some celebrity will be there with Steve who had some schedule problem.
Anyway, I think that the tablet would be launched on the 12th with movies and ebooks on ITMS. With that Apple might release a true video iPod w/o large screen. If its really good for video which I think it would be than I would have to once again give up the idea of getting myself an iPod U2.
Now we all know that when it comes to iPod's popularity, Europe tops the list. So it would make sense to use the Paris Expo on the 16th to launch a new iPod. Or they might launch the phone at Paris Expo.
We did hear that Steve was praising Apple phone to friends. Which means he likes the device and might like to launch it himself. Now it might be possible that this phone my have a large screen and can be used for watching videos. So we might see the phone too on the 12th. Or may be the phone gets released some where in October or November, just before the holidays. We might see the iPod being updated then too.
And there are also some 23" iMac rumors doing the rounds on the internet. That might get launched too.
So a tablet, a phone, a video iPod, a camera and iMac and MBR update all have the possibilities of being launched. This is how I see them being launched;
12th
- Tablet(probably a 7" slate and/or a 11" MBP convertible) with movies and ebooks on ITMS
- 23" iMac and/or
- MBR update
- Camera
- Phone
- iPod update
O'TanoKey, its my blog's life. 1 September
History repeats itself
So the scumb bag jews are at it again. Causing pain all over the world. But mind you not all jews are like that. Just some who are scumbbags and their necks, their joints and their filthy minds should be cut with swords and axes and hammers, while defending and in the name of justice.
And these jews are not alone. With them are some Christians and muslims and others. Just like always. But they are the planners. The controlers.
They must fear our determination and our power.
Over confident. They made a very big mistake. Inside Man. This movie is going to kill them. They can Rethink The Passion in light of Gibson's folly as much as they want. But the Inside Man is insanely anti-humanity and we won't let them divert our attention to The Passion.
I agree with Mel, fuck this filth. Who ever they are. We should not show any softer side for their crimes. They should be punished as severely as severe their crimes are.
And mind you, Mel's comments were not anti-semitic. They were anti-jewish. From the Oxford dictionary,

"Semite n. member of the people said to be descended from Shem (Gen. 10), including esp. the Jews and Arabs. [Greek Sem Shem]"
So who ever you are, we are standing against you. Mel and I. We will fight till you fall and die. Till our sowrds become red and our knives can find no more blood of bad people to bath in.
You have been caught red handed and we the righteous fear no one.
Fuck you. And we know where to start. Inside Man. Link by link. Paper by paper. We will find you and the men, women and the human from the other sex among us with the help of Allah, will fuck you, royally.
Hahahahaha!
And fuck you we will without any lubricant.
Hahahahahahahaha!
