Nice website Duplays…

raymond — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:05:29 +0000

On its 3rd attempt, the website is now clear, simple and concise. As the only media outlet to present its product offerings, it can only be just that.

I’ve always believed the boys at Duplays have a great idea on their hands and I wish them much success in the future…partly cause I’m a member of their flag football league…Go Ocho Cincos!

iPhone to run Smart-control homes

raymond — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:41:57 +0000

To sum it up, the recession has shifted the consumer mindset when it comes to home automation systems. It’s no longer about novelty, but about energy efficiency. Pulse Technologies is offering a range of home automation products that assist the average consumer in monitoring the output of energy from your home…so your sure to save some cash.

Efficiency is a key requirement in all economic sectors, especially now with the global economic downturn. Why not bring it home as well?

BTW, a big thank you to our friends at Hill & Knowlton.

This is old news for one of our clients (Pulse), but was just released in the UAE Digest on 21/09/09. It’s clear international investors are looking to the Gulf and Dubai to tap into talent in a still growing market with Yahoo’s more recent acquisition of Maktoob and Intel Capital’s support of regional IT players (below) back in the Spring of 2009.

I’m still confused!

After some internal debate, I’ve convinced myself to buy a smartphone. After surfing the internet, I was left wanting to throw out my current mobile! Why you ask? Well, with the advent of social networking sites, everyone seems to have an opinion.

So, who do you believe? Help!
