Take120: iTunes Kuwait style

[click for larger pic]

Take 120 seems to be a new service for Kuwait market offering iTunes style downloadable content from movies to music for a nominal fee. The content looks like Divx encoded and ofcourse there are no DRM issues here ;)

There is a vast range of movies, tv shows, music in English, Hindi, and Arabic. From what they have advertised, KD 1 would fetch 4 movies, 50 songs and 6 tv shows. Not bad at all. Its a membership based site and you have to purchase tokens from KD 1 to KD 25. The tokens are time constrained, so you have a time limit to download as many files for a particular token. This is the token breakdown:

 

1 KD – 24 hrs download time (one user)
2.5 KD – 72 hrs download time (one user)
5 KD – 168 hrs/ 7 days download time (one user)
10 KD – 6 weeks download time (one user)
Gold Package – 25KD for 2.5 months (4 users)

Any takers ?! Has anyone tried this before ?!

Why do they play ‘Faith of Islam’ during athan/prayer time on FM stations?

Bookmark and Share

During the Athaan [prayer call] time, if you are tuned into any FM station in Kuwait apart from BBC, they all play Faith of Islam by Maurice Jarre from the movie ‘The Message‘. Why cant they play the Athaan itself? I mean there has to be some logical reason for this, so any ideas drop in your comments.
