They weren't aimed at a port or an airstrip. They were looking for something far more valuable — and far more vulnerable. They found it. Two Amazon Web Services data centers in the UAE took direct hits. A third in Bahrain was damaged by a nearby strike. Structural damage. Fires. Power knocked out. Fire suppression systems flooded the hardware with water. Two of the three availability zones in AWS's entire Middle East region went dark simultaneously — something the system was never designed to survive. Banks went offline. Payments failed. Careem, the Gulf's dominant ride-hailing and delivery platform, went down. Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank — all reported disruptions. The UAE stock market halted.

iPhone App Pair answers the question: How to stay in touch when in a long distance relationship



So if you have been in a long distance relationship you might have experienced things like longing, missing and other associated love experiences. If all of this can be transferred to an App - Pair seems to be quiet a good fit. The app offers things like ThumbKiss. If you're wondering what a ThumbKiss is, it works like this. when your distant partner touches the screen at a certain place, you can see the exact spot and by touching the same spot both the phones will vibrate simultaneously. If both of you are online you could sketch together. Messaging is very private since you're connected to only one other person. You can also send photos videos and text messages for free. Play tic-tac-toe together. Creating a shared to-do list will will help you and the person you love to stay in each other's minds with actions.


The app is free to download and use and has been created by Oleg Kostour who moved from Canada to Mountain View to setup a software company. Instead, building app to stay in touch with the girlfriend he left behind in Canada. 


Pair: How does it work

Once you download the App on your iPhone or iPad you will need to send a request to someone to be your pair. Once accepted you can then start using the app to stay in touch. No, you cannot have more than one pair at a time. You can however unpair and then re-pair. If you're a long distance couple or know one please let us know in the comments section below if you think such an App will actually help. An Android App is on the way.
Download Pair now form the Apple App Store
