Ok not really. I'm in Dubai and just discovered that they give you free unilimited wireless for 30 days as a trial! So what do I do with FREE highspeed wireless when stranded in a strange airport? Why post to the Macnn lounge ofcourse.

Sorry I nothing of substance to really add to this thread.
Just that...... I wanna get outa here! There are so many people and this place smells like everything needs a shower! ugh! Hmmm wish I had a spare $100 to buy a lotto ticket for the luxury car raffle. Its a lamburgini? Oh well, I went the high class route and got a halal mcdonolds cheeseburger and fries.

Hmmm what is the difference between a normal mcdonold cheeseburger and a Halal one? One doesn't have the pig skin?

Happy that you have the free wireless.

halal = ceremoniously killed + the animal can't have eaten meat/blood + no hormones

Wow, 13 superfluous duplicate posts! That's just one shy of Athens' record of 14.

But seriously, folks: before going ballistic on the "post" button -- giving us this junk to clean up -- PLEASE, if your post doesn't seem to work, wait SEVERAL minutes (there can be a delay, so don't skip this step!), then RELOAD the page to see if your post "stuck". 9 times out of 10, the post was made, but the hamster, uh, i mean, server just never got around to telling your browser about it. (Copy your post to the clipboard, just in case the post didn't stick and you actually do need to try again.)

Dubai's airport isn't the greatest but the prices on electronic/cellular stuff is great.

Find a bar with a shishah and kick back while surfing.
