The UAE is determined to make a name for itself in the international film industry. Previously little more than an exotic backdrop for moving pictures, the country is taking steps to ensure that Emirati directors can make their own blockbusters. Rania Abo
ABU DHABI // Fadel al Muhairi is busy scouring his hometown for locations for his first feature film, a social drama about a young man’s quest to find his role in society. Armed with a Dh90,000 (US$24,500) grant from the Emirates Foundation, a joint private and public sector national endowment fund, the Emirati filmmaker believes that he is in the right place at the right time.

I just upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.5. Apparently the theme we were using is not compatible so I’ve got to either fix it or find a new one. Oh well, the new version seems very nice.

A company having an FAQ on their web site is a good thing, I think, but what’s the value of it if questions are faked? I mean if a question placed in the FAQ isn’t at all frequently asked? Does it really matter or is it bad practice? The issue came up when I saw this FAQ at Cyborg IT’s web site:

A2. What new trends do you see on the Internet for 2004?
We believe 2003 - 2005 will start a new trend toward an increasing number of ‘mature’ Internet users. These ‘Baby Boomers’ are beginning to have more time available when they can sit in front of the computer and look for things that are important to them. This group of affluent adults has a significant amount of expendable dollars ready to spend on what interests them.

Now forget for a second that it’s now 2008, but think about the question. Do you really think that’s a frequently asked question? I doubt it.

“Never gonna give you up”
Never gonna give you up

“She wants to dance with me”

“Together forever”

“Whenever you need somebody”

“Take me to your heart”
