In a short span of time, I’m doing two posts about the same company. That’s a rarity, but I think it’s well deserved. Products being developed in Pakistan that do well on the international scene make me super excited. So when I heard from the guys at Pepper today and they told me that their [...]
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. That’s [...]
Dear Readers,
You may have noticed a few changes around here. The most obvious one is that the look and feel has changed. Since inception, almost two and a half years ago, we stuck to a very spartan look which I personally have grown tired of. So, we decided to change things up a bit – add a little bit [...]
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, the [...]
I’ve been holding back. I told you about the Apple Tablet clone a couple of days ago, but now I’ll come clean with the whole story. Boeye doesn’t just do Apple Tablet clones… they also do Amazon Kindle clones! Both the DX and the Kindle 2. I tried both of them at GITEX in Dubai, [...]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been able to post much here. One of the reasons why – perhaps even the most pleasant one – was that I was away at GITEX in Dubai. GITEX has grown to be one of the largest tech shows on the planet, with attendees and exhibitors from [...]
Lahore-based Mindstorm Studios have been working on this project for a while now… but the wait is finally over! Mindstorm Cricket Revolution is OUT (no pun intended). As will be amply evident from all the screenshots I’m posting here, the game looks absolutely amazing. There is great attention to detail, a rich team selection, multi-player [...]
Generally speaking, I don’t like Apple. I’ve made that pretty clear. That said, there is one Apple product I am interested in. And yes, if they come out with it soon enough, I’ll buy it. If you haven’t guessed already, that product is the yet-unnamed Apple Tablet.
True, the Apple Tablet has been a famed beast of [...]
Microsoft’s been talking about their plans to release a web version of Office for a while now. They obviously weren’t too hot on the concept of browser enabling one of their core revenue earners because it could potentially de-link Office from Windows on stock x86 machines. But, ultimately, it became clear that the only choice they [...]
I’m just not going to buy a bloomin’ Macintosh. That would be against every fibre of my being. I’ve railed and ranted about the deeply philosophical issues I have with Apple, so I don’t want to make this another flame. Let’s just say that TechLahore ain’t no black polo neck wearin’ hippie. Now that we’re [...]
