As Steve Jobs said, "keep hungry, keep foolish," in his seminar speech at Stanford quoting the now infamous magazine.

Keep on looking if not found yet, and try new things, all the time.

Re: What do Bruce Lee, Microsoft and Procter & Gamble have in common?

Hayk — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:16:19 -0000

This is little more than common sense.

Common sense is that anything, be it a business or individual, becomes successful after attaining a certain critical mass, i.e. a exceeding a certain threshold, be it a revenue or a number of fans or audience.

Thus scalability is the key. Just the same way anything that becomes pop. that is popular, reaches and appeals to big masses.

Scalability is the strategic characteristic and distribution is the implementation or realization of that characteristic.

Re: Positiveness of uncertainty

Hayk — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:11:45 -0000

Uncertainty is what drives this world. Remember what the great da Vinci said: "Confused things kindle minds for great inventions." That is the story of this world and humanity. Every groundbreaking invention and novelty came out of confusion, uncertainty, problem.

Uncertainty needs to polarize us like electric current polarizes charged ions. It has to give us an orientation to adjust ourselves and a direction to head to.

The problem with this one is that it seems their official site Noqoush.com isn't up yet; so the choice was to not link to it, rather than link to it and send the reader off to nothing.
However, other than cases like this, there usually always is a link or two in the posts, linking off to a relevant site or to more details.

Pitty there is no links to any website. Neither here nor on arabcrunch or any other blog or news site.
i searched the web trying to get one, however it seems we still need to implement this kind of practice in our editorial work...

Re: MasterCard Survey: Jump In UAE Online Shopping Growth Rate

John Voyt — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:46:05 -0000

There are so many sites springing up in UAE its not even funny. It seems like the internet boom has just come here.

I wanted to buy a couple of Bluray movies and looked online and found www.aido.com. I was skeptical to order as I was not aware of them before. From my list of 8 movies I ordered only 2 movies and guess what, I got it delivered the next day.

THey seem to be good, have not tried the others but will do so.

Don't forget localized Arabic domain names coming out very soon. Currently we've been able to reg Arabic.English(com) but pretty soon its gonna be Arabic.Arabic(com) aliasing to what is current.

I think localized domain names will really push the rest of the web to get online and do business.

Group buying, indeed, a very hot concept right now, but what i concerned about is if there is a group buying platform or more exactly group buy marketplace where a store owner like me can publish my products, so others can purchase it at lower price????

Re: N2V Adds AqarMap, Qaym And True-Gaming To Their Portfolio

they have no reason to reveal the numbers without a clear benefit or regulatory reason to do so. if they paid a rich amount then the buyer wouldn't want it impacting values in the rest of the market and if it was too low the seller probably wouldn't want it known that he made a paltry amount if any.

investors in the US are generally required to be forthcoming for a variety of reasons including commercial and regulatory although there are many private transactions there as well.
