Seasons Manipulate Car prices in Saudi
as we all know that price of petrol is a big influence on car prices, we've seen GMC trucks take a leap on price matters from 11 thousands to 40 thousands letter-ally speaking , but that a one time thing to happen, but to see the price fluctuate every year and on a specific season , that got to be written about, so a car buyer would know what to buy and when to buy, in winter you need to stay away from 4x4 cars, cause the price is up to the roof and it's mostly over priced because of the seller greed and also because the buyer won't keep it for long so he will pay whatever it takes to fly away from town on this car he just bought and will sell afterward, giving him freedom to give it hell and not to worry about workshop or any spar-part issues, so 4x4 is not recommended on winter season, secondly during Hajj season try to avoid the SUV cars because many workers in the field of transporting of Pilgrims are competing in the market, last thing avoid the cars that has been used by a Kdad cause he has no mercy for the car whatsoever, take my word.

The world's most overpriced tech products
The world's most overpriced tech products
By Suzanne Kantra, Techlicious.com
When coming up with my list for the most overpriced tech products, I had to set some ground rules. Simply slapping some diamonds and platinum on an iPad wouldn‘t count — anyone could do that. The product had to be designed by the company selling it and the product price needed to far exceed the intrinsic value of the materials. I also selected products where the overpricing is made even more obvious by having much cheaper options available that are just as functional (or in some cases more so).
In the end, I came up with six products that are so outrageously overpriced they just had to make the list. Here they are:
Vertu
#6. Vertu Constellation Quest Smartphone ($8,299)
Vertu, a division of Nokia, has built a brand around super-luxury cell phones for the Hollywood glitterati and Russian oligarchs of the world. The Vertu Constellation Quest is a beautiful phone, with hand-tooled leather, sapphire keys and other luxury features. But at the end of the day, it’s still just a phone, and not a very advanced one, either. Running Nokia’s dated Symbian operating system and with a tiny 2.5-inch display, it’s decidedly behind the times. For $8,299 you should expect more, and you get more with practically any iPhone or Android phone on the market — most of which are under $600, even without a contract.
#5. Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 4 —85-inch 3-D TV ($85,000)
Bang & Olufsen
Bang & Olufsen has always been a premium-priced brand, but they’ve outdone themselves with the BeoVision 4 85-inch plasma TV. With its whopping $85,000 price tag, the BeoVision 4 clocks in at mind-blowing $1,000 per inch. Sure it has some cool features, like a screen that automatically lowers when you’re not watching it, but who really needs that? Instead, pick up Sharp’s new Aquos 80” LED LCD for a mere $4,500.
#4. Leica M9 Titanium Digital Camera ($28,000)
What happens when you take an already pricey $7,000 Leica M9 camera and put it the hands of automobile designer Walter de'Silva from Audi? You get the even more pricey $28,000 M9 Titanium version made from titanium, sapphire crystal and leather typically used on Audi cars. While I appreciate that the “Leica logo has been restyled and is elaborately hand-engraved in pure resin, inlaid with white enamel, sealed with clear varnish and then polished and positioned centrally — directly above the lens“, I think I’ll save 21 grand and go with the base model.
AudioQuest
#3. AudioQuest Diamond HDMI Cable ($1,495)
There is no shortage of overpriced HDMI cables on the market, but AudioQuest takes the cake with its Diamond line, charging a jaw-dropping $1,495 for a 6-foot cable. What do you get for that price? A lot of marketing hooey, mostly, about solid silver connectors and proprietary insulation. Digital signals aren’t prone to interference over short lengths, and there is scant evidence that higher-quality cables make any difference. Instead, get a 6-foot cable from highly regarded Monoprice.com for $3.50.
Goldmund
#2. Goldmund Eidos Reference Blue Blu-ray Player ($170,000)
How can the Eidos Reference Blue Blu-ray player possibly cost as much as a house? According to Goldmund, ”It is because our specialists made absolutely no compromise between the quality and refinement of the finish, the exceptional mechanical construction and the cost.” For those of us that have to make compromises, we will likely be better off with the Samsung BD-D6500 (well under $200 retail), which offers many useful features not available in the Eidos Reference Blue, such as 3-D output, built-in Wi-Fi and hundreds of apps. And don’t worry about compromising the picture; "Avatar" is going to look just as good on the Samsung player, and you’ll have enough money left over to buy a house to watch it in.
#1. Text messaging from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon (20 cents a message)
With all the high-priced gizmos out there, how does a 20-cent text message make my #1 spot? Let’s do a little math. AT&T charges 20 cents per text message. A single text message is limited to 160 characters, which is at most 160 bytes in size. So, 1 GB of bandwidth can handle about 6.25 million text messages. Multiply 6.25 million by 20 cents and you find that the cell phone companies are charging $1.25 million per GB of data for text messaging. If you’re a heavy texter, texting plans from the carriers can drive cost per gigabyte down into the tens-of-thousands of dollars. Or use that old standby, email, instead.

Apple and Blackberry Crumble
IOS 5 is available now and you can download it directly from itunes it has some new features and it is jailbreakable as devteam stated with redsnow , Though every one is complaining about "error 3200" and it's somehow came after steve died , we didn't used to have a common error like that when steve was the CEO i guess every horse must have a hump
Now Blackberry has been shutdown for almost 3 days and they say it's maintanance while we know best not to be fooled with an albay like that, i mean if it was maintanance then why comesthe shutdown all on a sudden , i say this remind me when Sony Network got hacked and i can't see how that was a maintanance , all in all it is such a shame to see big Tech companies can't handle the trust people have put on them.
Sigh , just sigh for you Steve it's just a week now and look to the apple you gave your life to prosper , i can't say the same about blackberry but it sure has a lot to do from now on.
Bently SUV to be released in 2015
The future Bentley SUV, a vehicle that is scheduled to enter the market in 2015, will satisfy the company’s luxury ambitions, being set to arrive with a 12-cylinder petrol engine.
According to autocar, the decision was taken to help the company in it’s fight for supremacy in the luxury world, with the poweplant expected to be a future generation of the current W12 unit used by the Continental range.
However, it is possible for the SUV, shown here in a rendering by deviantart user blackstripe77, to be fitted with a diesel engine, as Bentley could offer it with a next-generation of the Audi V12 TDI unit, which currently powers the Q7.
Bentley has gone to great lengths in order to make the SUV plan work, with the company replacing its chief engineer, Elrich Eichhorm, with Rolf Frech, who comes from Porsche, bringing a complex experience in the field, as he has been a part of the Cayenne development team.
