Unfortunately it was Friday and UShopWeShip offices are closed on Friday, [...]

I saw one example in InfoConnect where one of the shops was openly advertising iPhone 3GS for KD 45 [ofcourse a fake one]. What planet do you think we come from…?! The entire mobile market was offloading iPhones [...]

Blackberry update from Etisalat UAE has spyware

It seems a latest series of updates from Etisalat UAE to BlackBerry subscriber devices is riddled with spyware. Reverse engineering on the updates found out that the spyware is snooping on the messages sent from the devices and storing them on Etisalat servers. This is serious issue and so far no one from Etisalat, BlackBerry [...]
