Tweet I don’t like hip hop or rap music. But I’m sharing with you the one exception that proves the rule. French-Pakistani rapper Pakos has produced this really awesome song celebrating Pakistan. The video below, I believe, is a fan production but does a pretty good job of getting the point across. The point being, [...]
Tweet Let me just start off by saying that the Chinese rock! And what I wouldn’t give to ride this amazing new piece of technology they’ve unveiled; the fastest train in the world. This bad boy hits 394.2 kph without breaking a sweat and links Wuhan in central China with Guangzhou in the country’s south. [...]
Tweet We don’t quite know yet who the telco is, but if it was THE largest (mobilink), they would have probably said so. That leaves Telenor, Ufone, Warid and Zong. Your guess is as good as mine.

Undoubtedly, it’s been built with a lot of love and attention to detail and frankly, all of it shows. This is clearly one game designed by cricket enthusiasts for [...]
Tweet For over two years now, we’ve been covering the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) saga. Brave Prof. Negroponte embarked on this adventure years ago and after much wrangling with corporations, the loss of his CTO and other staffers, and cost over-runs, the OLPC Sugar still hasn’t quite hit that $100 number. For a while, [...]
Tweet How many times will we come across these “Digital map shows Kashmir in Pakistan” stories? Well, certainly more than once! After all, it wasn’t too long ago that we reported on the outbreak of great outrage and violence in India because Nokia’s digital maps showed Kashmir to be a part of Pakistan. In that [...]
Tweet Software piracy is fast becoming extinct in Pakistan. Yes, it still happens at an individual level, but these days you can hardly find a reasonably sized company that deliberately uses pirated software. Microsoft and the BSA have played a huge role in this, for obvious reasons! But the upshot of all of this is [...]
