Mobile Shop: Job opportunities are for men only

mobile shop logo

I receive wrong emails often. Sometimes they are funny but usually plain boring. I also receive around 5000 spam messages per week.

Today I received the following email from Mobile Shop HR department. They have two job opportunities. The first is something called "Sales Maker" and it seems to be gender specific. The other is called "Net woek Admin" and it requires, among a list of technical stuff, good command of English language.

Language issues aside. Is this sex limitation legal, specially when it is not a job that requires strenuous activity (and shouldn't they leave this for the person to decide)?

Mobile Shop runs 58 branches across Egypt.

How to listen to live streaming internet radio in your car

You can listen to live streaming internet radio if you have a mobile phone with a 3G connection. The phone should be able to run J2ME MIDP applications (most do). Download and install MFRadio. It is open source and free. MFRadio can only play Mp3 streams.

The second step is to be able to connect your phone to your car stereo. This is highly variable, so you will have to find this out on your own.



4 years of Gmail

4 years passed today since I signed up for a gmail account. I received an invitation via Blogger. This was about 3 weeks after Google announced the 1GB inbox.

This secured my best email address:

mostafa@gmail.com

At that time, this was a mindbogglingly huge webmail inbox. Yahoo! & Hotmail offered few MegaBytes for each user, as far as I can remember nothing more than 5MB.

Facebook sucks?

It is wrong to think that following your friends online will introduce you to new ideas, opportunities and information. However, if you spend the same amount of time reading other people ideas but following a certain topic that interest you. This will probably expose you to more information, viewpoints, ideas, etc..

Curiosity killed the cat!

I don't know were did the above proverb come from. But I know how curiosity came to exist. It could be defined as the motivation to explore or examine. Curiosity is a hard wired innate behavior in many animals including invertebrates like fish. It is an instinct that probably increases our chances of survival. Simply by increasing our chances of getting food and/or sex. It is also important for learning and

تويطر .. التامجوتشي الجديد !؟

هل تتذكر التاماجوتشي، اللعبة التافهة التي تذكرك بالجيم أند واطش ولكن أنتشرت في منتصف التسعينيات في اليابان ثم أنطلقت الى العالم كله في أيدي من لا يعلم أن هناك ما هو أروش من أن تمسح الفضلات الاكترونية و تغذي كائن الكتروني معاق ؟ دي كانت الخطوة الأولة في أستأناس البرمجيات.

الحقيقة أن التاماجوتشي كفكرة ليست بطالة و لكن لمدة ٤ دقائق فقط. الأهتمام و الولع في ذلك الوقت كان غير مفهوم. و البرامجيات متوقعه و جامدة من الصعب أن تحبها.
