Jobs said the iPad will also be better for reading books, playing games and watching video than either a laptop or a smart phone. The iPad comes with software including a calendar, maps, a video player and iPod software for playing music. All seem to have been slightly redesigned to take advantage of the iPad's bigger screen.

EXPATS & LABOUR CARDS - Important Reminders

UAE January 13, 2010: An important reminder regarding our Labor Cards. to all specially to Filipino's here in the UAE. Make sure it is with you at all times and not expired as the authorities have started random checking again to ensure against the presence of illegal/overstaying expats.


On January 10, 2010 at around 7pm just upon entry to the city of Abu Dhabi, public buses were pulled over by the authorities and all passengers asked to present their identification, specifically the Labor Card/ID. Those unable to present were detained until cleared by their respective offices/PRO' s.

In situations like this, there are things you have to remember:

1. The authorities will identify themselves properly to the driver.
2. When approached in a group check, do not insult the police/authority by demanding identification when they have already presented themselves in general.
3. Once they have established their identity and purpose, they will start checking.
4. Present your Labor Card for checking without unnecessary comments or grumbling.

5. Explain slowly and properly if Labor Card is not with you or with
variations from the company ID.

6. Cooperate so as not to delay the checking and cause inconvenience to everybody else.


Doubt and question/ask for assistance when:

1. No proper public identification is made by the checking "authority".
2. When it is only you singled out and approached by an individual or two out of a big group.
3. When harassment occurs and you are asked for money or property.

REMINDERS:

1. Have your actual Labor Card ID.
2. Make sure it is not expired.
3. If you don't have it, have a stamped copy.
4. Always have your office PRO / HR Manager's direct number.


Random checking is not restricted to public buses but also implemented in malls , other public places, and residential buildings / villas under surveillance for illegal expats.

Kindly pass this message along to other expats you know.

Burj Dubai is now Burj Khalifa

Dubai: January 4 2010, The Burj Dubai now "Burj Khalifa" was unveiled at a glittering ceremony by Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai this evening.


But in changing the tower’s name from Burj Dubai to Burj Khalifa, in honor of the president of Abu Dhabi, Dubai revealed a rare streak of humility consistent with its diminished economic condition.


The 160-storey building built at an estimated cost of $1.5 billion attracted hundreds and thousands of onlookers for the spectacular inauguration ceremony that combined a dazzling sound and light show. Now Burj Khlifa is the Tallest Tower in the World
