Samsung Vs Apple.

Apple says that Samsung copies its rounded corners and made lists bounce. They want $2.5 billion for it.

Samsung says that rounded corners already existed, and so did precursors to bouncing lists.

They also say that apple are using their technology (they basically helped design how the 3g system works) without paying them. They want $500million for it.

Apple is saying that yes they are using Samsung Tech, but they think they sould give something like less than a penny per device - and get $40 per samsung device for the rounded corners.

Samsung argue it is crazy to ask for such royalties for something so simple as rounded corners.

(and I hate Apple. Scumbags.)

And the jury has reached a verdict.

Last few Ramadans:

Ramadan for me was always an inconvenience.

Such a disruption to my daily routine.

I mean, I have things to do, places to go, people to see and all this “don’t eat at daytime” or “do extra-long prayers in the evening” had always taken me away from the important things.

I mean, come on, staying hungry all day – what does that even do for someone? (other than help them lose a few kg?)

But it doesn’t even help you lose a few kg really cos the samosas and pakoras in the evening just pile on everything you lost during the day.

And sleeping straight after eating loads and loads just stores fat onto you so I’d always end up putting weight on rather than losing it.

<<<Eid Sunnahs>>>

1- Reciting Takbeer

2- Eating odd number of dates b4 leaving for the Eid prayer

3- Wearing your best (clean) clothes & Adorning yourself on the occasion of Eid

4- Doing ghusl for the Eid prayer

5- Praying two rakah Tahiyyat al-Masjid

6- Paying Zakatul Fitr B4 Eid Prayer is Must

7- Shaking hands & Greeting one another on Eid

8- Going to the prayer by one route and returning by another

This Ramadan… I will strive for consistency, even after the month is over.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Ramadan is over, or nearly so. It leaves like a guest afraid to overstay its welcome. As we hold on to its last few moments, it’s important to remember that the journey isn’t over.

The effort we put in during the last month should carry on through the rest of the year. We might not be able to keep everything up, and probably not to the same extent… but the attachment to Allah’s Book, the increased worship and remembrance, the love of extra prayers at night… these things should not be forgotten.

But how do we keep it up? By taking it day by day. One day at a time.

go on a long train ride

go to the middle of nowhere

do cartwheels

shout and hear my echo

roll down a HUGE hill

trying to find some pretty pictures of what i was imagining in my head (from having seen real landscapes) nearly put me off the whole thing! (hence why there's only one pic here and the tab is closed.

one day inshaaAllah i'll come back here and update this blog with pictures I took.

received an email with this duah in it:

While the Friday of any week is a source of blessings, mercy, forgiveness and salavation for the Believers, the Last Friday of Ramadan popularly known as 'Jummat'al-Wida', is light upon light and felicitation of the Noble Qur'an. It is the symbol of splendour, dignity and greatness for the Believers. It is a supreme expression of awe and majesty. On this day people walk towards the Central Mosque proclaiming the Glory and Praise of Almighty Allah aloud. On the way they are surrounded by the Angels and from the boundary of the Ka'abah pours in joyous torrents of mercy and forgiveness.
