Pak Suzuki Launched the New Cultus 2018

By

Yesterday, Pak Suzuki launched the automatic variant of its new Suzuki Cultus. Azam Mirza, the Executive Officer Marketing and After Sales Pak Suzuki, told the media that the company decided to bring the auto version of the Cultus after listening to the feedback from customers and dealers.

Previously, Suzuki launched the Mega-Carry, a heavy duty vehicle for workers.

Asides the Cultus, Suzuki also launched 2 new bikes as well. The brand looks like it is planning to expand and diversify its presence within the country.

The bikes are the Suzuki GSX-R600 and the Suzuki GR150.

The 2018 Suzuki Cultus is equipped with K series K10B 12-value 3-cylinder 1.0L 1000cc engine with 5-speed manual transmission, front-wheel drive, and a sportier look.

The VXL variant comes with airbags, power windows, fog lights, and anti-lock braking systems. On the other hand, the VXR variant comes with optional upgrades.

As Pak Suzuki itself mentioned in the presentation, the AGS is basically an “automated manual transmission” system. Instead of developing a fully automated transmission, Suzuki has devised a clever way to make their current manual transmission into an automatic transmission.

Price

The 2018 Suzuki Cultus AGS is priced at PKR1,528,000.

Abid Shaka Makes it to BOL TV!

By

We all remember the time BOL TV created an uproar in the entertainment circuit of Pakistan with its launch.

The network entered the race to leave the rest behind with its power-packed talk shows, popular media moguls, and state-of-the-art infrastructure.

Many popular stars and media moguls became the face of the television channel to create the much-needed uproar in the entertainment circuit and became a part of its revolutionary ride.

From industry stalwarts like Sajid Hasan, Nabeel, Aamir Liaquat, Veena Malik, Nadia Hussain and Hamza Ali Abbas; BOL roped in all the big names to create a furor.

But seems like its dream of creating a vast media empire seems to be crashing now that its members are gradually resigning and are exposing the media house like nobody’s business.

Is it us or BOL is losing its grip?

Soon after Aamir Liaquat and Sajid Hassan declared their departure from BOL, the network has kickstarted a new TV show ‘Lagti Hai Tou Lagay’

And you won’t believe who is starring in the show?

Posted by Lagti Hai To Lagay on Saturday, November 18, 2017

It is Lyari’s much-hyped gangster, Abid Shaka!

Earlier, this year, the bold and frivilous Abid has become a social media sensation Pakistan. He never fails to speak his mind and became the talk of the town for being a drug junkie.

Already, he has been featured in countless segments that are now going viral on social media.

Why BOL has stooped so low that they have introduced a flippant like Abid Shaka on a professional platform that claims to be Pakistan’s No.1 media house.

Facebook Introduces Messenger Kids

By
Anusha Sachwani
-

Just when you think there is absolutely nothing else Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg can do to take you by storm, he proves you wrong!

World’s biggest social media has done it once again, and this time, Messenger is preparing not only to be the #1 app for teens and adults but for kids as well.

Facebook has launched a new application by the name of ‘Messenger Kids’ suitable for children under the age of 13.

Here’s Why Huawei Mate 10 Lite is the Ultimate Selfie Superstar!

The company has mentioned that the guidelines have been taken into consideration after talking to thousands of parents and associations like National PTA and parenting experts in the US.

Facebook found the need for a “messaging app that lets kids connect with people they love but also has the level of control parents want”.

This is a very smart move as US Federal law does not allow children under the age of 13 to sign up for Facebook.

“Parents fully control the contact list and kids can’t connect with contacts that their parent does not approve of. Parents control kids accounts and contacts through the Messenger Kids Controls panel in their main Facebook app.”

How it will Work

New chats by non-approved contacts can be vetted by parents of the children who are using the app. Parents will be able to control their child’s Messenger Kids app through their Facebook accounts.

iOS Platform

As of now, the application is available for iOS devices in limited rollout with the preview of the app only available on the Apple App Store in the US. Parents and other approved adults can use any device to chat with the child through their Messenger.

Bitcoin Bubble Buster Can Predict the End of Bitcoin!

In its introductory blog post, Facebook stated;

“There are no ads in Messenger Kids and your child’s information isn’t used for ads. It is free to download and there are no in-app purchases. Messenger Kids is also designed to be compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA).”

Features of Messenger Kids

Kids will be able to do other things asides chatting with their friends. These include video chat either one-on-one or group with approved contacts. They will be able to enjoy filters and other content like emoji, sound effects, playful masks, etc.

According to a report by TechCrunch, Facebook started research 18 months ago to find out what children and parents wanted out of a potential product.

“It (Facebook) found that kids had the right hardware but the wrong software. Ninety-three percent of 6-12-year-olds in the US have access to tablets or smartphones while 66 percent have their own device. Three out of every five parents surveyed said their kids under 13 years use messaging apps, social media or both,” the TechCrunch report stated .

All tools and features have been made keeping children in mind, they will have the authority to report inappropriate content if needed. Also, it will be ad-free so that children can have a proper experience.

How to Properly Erase Data from your Smartphone Before Selling it

By
Anusha Sachwani

Selling Smartphones is not as easy as you think. A phone keeps essential user data within it even after individuals perform ‘factory resets’ several times. Security researchers picked up several phones “wiped” this way, and found tons of data.

In a research done by the security software developer Avast, using 20 phones which were wiped using only factory reset, the team was able to retrieve data hidden in the phones successfully!

They were able to recover the following:

  • More than 40,000 photos, including over 1,500 family photos of children, 750 photos of women in various stages of undress, and 250 selfies of the previous owner’s “manhood”
  • More than 1,000 Google searches
  • More than 750 emails and text messages
  • More than 250 contact names and email addresses
  • Four previous owners’ identities
  • One completed loan application

Bitcoin Bubble Buster Can Predict the End of Bitcoin!

For those planning on selling their Smartphones, be sure you actually wipe data and make the phone data-free so that nothing can be misused after the device is no longer in your possession.

How to Erase Data from iOS Sets

For iOS users, your iPhone has built-in options that securely erase your phone. However, for someone who has an old iOS set like the iPhone 3GS and iOS 3.0 devices, Apple has moved to hardware encryption on its phones.

So this means that all data you store on the internal storage (which, aside from anything on the SIM card, is everything) is automatically encrypted. Your phone uses a device-specific key that’s never stored anywhere but your handset.

You simply have to do the following to erase data from your handsets; Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.

ATM Cyber Attacks Take Karachi by Storm

How to Erase Data from Android Sets

Android users have to take a few more precautions, unlike iPhone users. Most of the steps depend on the manufacturer of the set. Unlike iOS, the data encryption of Android sets is not done on hardware, the setting need to be selected manually via Settings.

Keep in mind that the process is time-consuming and that when the PIN is entered, it might cause some slight performance decreases. This process also can’t be reversed without wiping your phone, so consider carefully before you commit.

Once your data is encrypted, Andoird users have 2 options to wipe their data, either by data reset or by rooting the device with a custom recovery, wiping via the recovery might not do everything properly.

Be sure to vet your device before you hand it over to the new owner.

Forbidden Meat Being Sold in the Name of Delicacies in Pakistan?

By

-

The amount of sub-standard food available in the country has been increasing day by day. With unhygienic kitchens and unlawful ingredients, the Punjab Food Authority has been on the tail of such restaurants and many have been fined and sealed for not following the regulations set by the authority.

In the city of Gujranwala, restaurant by the name, ‘Miyaan Ji Tikka’ was raided by ARY News recently, uncovering the sale of ‘Haram birds’ in the eatery as a delicacy. Little do customers know that the delicacies they have been paying for are actually not permissible to be eaten, keeping in mind the Islamic rules of ‘Halaal’ eating.

A popular bird, ‘Chirray’ (Sparrow) eaten as a delicacy in Gujranwala is not available in the city due to the seasonal changes. However, eateries have been selling another unidentified meat which could very well be from the haraam species as the sparrow, cheating customers who have no idea what has been going on.

On inspection of the kitchens with the Punjab Food Authority, the ARY News team uncovered how the restaurant owners have been hiding the truth from the customers. Representatives of the PFA then went on and sealed the kitchen of Miyaan Ji Tikka due to their unhygienic kitchen conditions and also due to the unidentified birds they have been selling under the name of ‘Chirray’.

Everything You Need to Know about the Mercedes Shootout at Seaview

By
Anusha Sachwani
-

In an unfortunate incident which took place on Sunday, 3rd December lead to the death of an 18-yr old Zafir Zuberi, leaving Zaid Khan critically injured, and Irham Rahim and Izhan Khan in trauma.

Khawer Burney and his friends were arrested for this incident after being tracked down by the police. According to Burney, the incident happened by ‘accident’. Burney added that his intention was not to kill or harm the boys, but he just wanted to shoot at the tires.

The Incident

According to eyewitnesses, a group of 4 boys went out to have breakfast and were speeding near Seaview (Do Darya).

While they were enjoying their morning ride, the speeding car accidentally hit a heavy bike, panicking, the boys continued to speed trying to get away.

However, they were chased by a double-cabin vehicle — which was escorting the injured bike filled with armed men who opened fire at the Mercedes, resulting in 1 death, 1 critical injury, while 2 managed to save themselves.

 

 

The Reports

According to the police, at least 9 rounds were shot at the car even after it came to a stop, the armed men continued to open fire.

Also, unconfirmed reports suggest that the driver of the Mercedes was under the influence of Alcohol. Khawar Burney was identified later by eyewitnesses and arrested.

The Statements

Burney said that he opened fire on the Mercedes after the car hit his Vigo. “I wanted to aim at the tire but the Mercedes turned and the bullets hit the car,” said Burney. “Everything happened accidentally,” he added.

However, this was a new statement Burney came up with. In an earlier statement to the police, Burney had said he tried to stop the ‘Mercedes car’ when he witnessed the accident, engaging in aerial firing in order to signal it to halt.

As he fired, his pistol moved upwards by mistake, and the bullets hit the people inside the car. Dr Abdul Rahim — the motorcycle rider — has disassociated himself from the incident, saying he doesn’t know either Burney or the deceased.

The constant change in statements has surely made everyone raise an eyebrow, not to forget that Rahim’s claim of not having any association with Burney or knowing the deceased has also raised several questions.

Muhammad Irham, one of the boys who survived the attack but remains in trauma shared his last memory with his friend Zafir who had saved his life before a bullet fatally wounded the boy.

Deceased Zafir Zuberi

The investigating officer in the case said the deceased, Zafir, died of wounds from two bullets.

The vehicle he was riding was shot from the left side. The bullets hit Zafir in the chest and hand, the officer said.

#JusticeForZafir

Friends and family of the deceased have started an initiative called #JusticeForZafir so that the criminals behind this murder, the armed men asides Khawer Burney can also get arrested and so that justice can be served.

This is a developing story.

Pakistani City Makes it to The Global Competitiveness Rankings

By
Umaima Nadeem
-

It is estimated that around 80% of the population of the world will be living in the urban areas by the end of this century, as the developing countries will become increasingly urbanized.

While in Pakistan, 50-70% of the population in living in the urban centers, this ratio is expected to increase in coming decades. Urbanization in Pakistan has indeed grown, and people are living a better lifestyle relatively, but the poor management of the cities has largely wasted the potential of urbanization.

Pakistani cities lack the international standards or modern urbanization due to their poor management and regulations. Our cities have performed poorly in terms of the criteria of density, livability, business environment, walkability, and competitiveness.

The Economist ranking of Hot Spots by 2025 ranked 120 cities in terms of competitiveness and “ability to attract capital, business, talent, and visitors”.

Karachi was ranked 111th whereas other Pakistani cities such as Lahore did not even make it to the list!

Singapore was 3rd, Hong Kong 4th, Seoul 15th, Dubai 23rd, Kuala Lumpur 31st, Shanghai 38th, Mumbai 51st, Delhi 56th and Bangkok 66th.

History has proved that cities are the center of growth and development, which attract talents and capital by providing new and big opportunities to the people.

What’s Next?

As per the latest research, around 60-70% of the population belongs to the urban areas. These people are more aware of their rights and needs. Our politicians think that health and education are the basic diseases of Pakistan.

For developing more competitive cities, the government should consider the following:

1.Decentralization

Decentralization for each city in order to find its creative edge as only autonomous cities can meet the challenges of urban and social service provision.

2. Independent Technical & Administrative Staff

The hierarchically subservient Local government has always failed to serve the city. Cities must, therefore, have their own professional, technical and administrative staff independent of the federal and provincial organizations.

3. Vertical Growth of Cities

With population increase, it is now essential to allow vertical growth of cities to pave the way for affordable housing, creative commerce, public space and many other city functions.

4. Urbanization

Urbanization means improvement in transportation facilities. Only in Karachi, we face hours of traffic jams. Moreover, this has added to the pollution in the cities. To this, there are cheaper and healthier alternatives available such as biking and walking.

PIA Slams Allegations of Using Expired Products on Flights

By

Pakistan International Airlines have always been in trouble and in the spotlight for the wrong news. From one scandal to another, the airline has definitely seen it all. However, this time around the tables have turned and the national carrier has bashed news channel for defaming PIA over ‘fake news’.

A news story aired by ARY News on Saturday mentioned PIA using expired hand cologne and other in-flight products on its flights.

However, the Pakistani airlines have strongly refuted the story, calling it absolutely fake and baseless!

In a statement issued by PIA, the spokesman said,

“PIA does not and has not ever used expired hand cologne or any other products on its flights”

The airline has also added a few pictures as Evidence to prove the news wrong!

The picture below shows the expiry date as September 2019.

PIA spokesperson has further explained that the entire stock at all stations are under strict vigilance and checked as per standard operating procedure. He also adds,

“The expiry dates of available stock are in the range of 2019 -2020. The news aired by ARY News is baseless, false and aimed to defame the airline.”

Bitcoin Bubble Buster Can Predict the End of Bitcoin!

By
Anusha Sachwani

With an uncertainty that comes with Bitcoin, many have their own opinions about the future of the cryptocurrency.

While on one hand where investors say the currency will outgrow itself and reach double its value by end of 2018, some predict its end.

Bitcoin being a cryptocurrency has a volatile behavior which is not constant. It is either going up at a rapid speed or comes across several mini-crashes without warning.

To predict the future of Bitcoin, a startup called Bitcoin Bubble Buster will supposedly tell you when the currency will meet its end using an artificially intelligent algorithm.

Not only crashes but it also tells you which will be the expected increase or decrease in value of Bitcoin inexact numbers.

Given that the prediction is based on an AI algorithm, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that it will be 100% accurate, however, to a certain extent, it might be able to provide some insight into the future of the currency. The system will evolve and improve by using the historical data to predict better and more accurate outcomes.

This might come in handy for those who are considering investing in the currency and for those who already have, or are planning to invest in another currency, this might be something phenomenal.

Fake Sexist Statement of Amir Khan Going Viral on Social Media!

By
Ghazala Sulaiman
-
amir khan

The British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan is quite in the limelight these days, courtesy his much-hyped appearance on the reality show ‘I’m A Celebrity’.

Over the past few months, his controversial clash with his wife Faryal Makhdoom drove everybody crazy. Apparently, the duo loves to wash their dirty linen in public and make their private lives a case of ‘Keeping Up with the Khan-dashians”.

So yet again, Amir has landed himself in a scandal and is being thrashed by haters for some pretty chauvinist statements.

But it seems like readers on the web have become a victim of BIG confusion as the statements have NOT been said by Amir Khan.

While we can expect Amir Khan to release such a bizarre statement, this time its really not his fault!

Apparently, BBC tweeted Asian Network tweeted a recording of various callers reacting to Amir Khan claiming that he doesn’t cook at home. Some really negative remarks about ‘women belonging to the kitchen’ were exchanged by the callers.

But now everybody is believing that Khan uttered all those sexist comments!

Here’s how the conversation went between the anonymous callers!

Caller 2: I would never cook. In my culture, women, that’s their job to do the cooking. They’re best at cooking. It’s a man’s job to actually do other jobs like the hard work, the hard labor jobs around the house.”

Caller 1: Doing housework is harder. I would not get as tired of my job as I do when I work at home. Until you don’t do it for yourself, you won’t realize how hard that is.”

Caller 2: I’ve got a dishwasher, washing machine, I’ve never actually known how to use these things. I would never touch those machineries, ever. You would turn into a woman. I’m a man. If I started dishwashing —”

Caller 3: If you use the machine, you would turn into a woman?

Caller 2:  Yeah.

Some people were smart enough to point it all out!

Whatever the media is claiming is totally wrong!

Even the ‘Goras’ are standing up for Amir!

 

 

Others are bashing BBC for creating all the furor with the audio clip.

Well, we know social media has enough reasons to take a dig at Amir Khan! However, this time this Amir’s negative publicity is simultaneously pointing fingers to the mindset of desi men, especially those from Pakistan. And that’s really not COOL!

What makes Hamza Ali Abbasi tick the most? The answer is most definitely ‘item numbers’. He is like a firecracker, which explodes whenever any soul supports the addition of a raunchy dance number is movies.

Controversy follows him everywhere he goes & every word he says becomes an issue! Countless times, Abbasi has vociferously kickstarted a debate that such songs are akin to Punjabi ‘mujras’ that objectify women and should be banned once and for all.

It all started three years ago when he took a dig at Mehwish Hayat’s item dance on ‘Billi’ in Na Maloom Afraad

I absolutely hate it when my comments are presented as being against an individual. As far as negative trends in media…

Since then, he continues to bash all the starlets that bared it all for such songs!

My review on Jalaibee aside, i am tremendously proud of Zahalay Sarhadi for not taking her clothes off in her…

Few months again, Abbasi returned again to attack Sadaf Kanwal for belly-dancing to Kaif O Suroor in Na Maloom Afraad 2

And every time he says a word against item numbers, Pakistanis leave no stone unturned to troll him into oblivion. 

Well, they always do have a point!

Now recently, Karan Johar gave a shocking statement against item numbers. After all these years, he realized that it is NOT okay to normalize women objectification. Also, he apologized for Chikni Chameli and countless other melodies with sexually explicit content.

His apology gave Hamza Ali Abbasi yet another chance raise yet another furor. Very touchee’ we must admit!

So he has caused yet another social media stir & now people are now once taking his side!

What do you guys think about this? Let us know in the comments below.

Over the last couple of days, we have witnessed an increase in the number of ATM scams. These scams are done by hackers using sneaky tricks and the misuse of technology to steal an individual’s information so that their account can be accessed.

Several videos and stories have also surfaced. The videos show concerned citizens showing the viewers how hackers smartly place magnetic strips in fake parts which can easily be fixed on to ATM machines.

The magnetic strip copies the digits and information stored on a card while a hidden camera is placed over the pin-pad.

Asides the images and videos of fake parts being found in ATMs, many individuals are complaining that money is being stolen from them and that their bank cards were somehow blocked after the incidents. After contacting the bank, they were told that this activity was done by hackers, investigations are currently going on, and will come to a conclusion in 15-days.

The Federal Investigation Agency’s  (FIA) cybercrime division is currently looking into the matter of the hacked bank accounts. As of now, according to the investigation, users who have been complaining of stolen money have accounts belonging to Habib Bank  Limited.

Not just that, but HBL informed that around 600 customers across Pakistan have lost an amount approximately nearing to Rs. 10 million in the cyber attack. An FIA official added that a large number of cases surfaced from an ATM located in Khayban-e-Ittehad.

Other ATMs which were compromised by hackers belong to public places, including Dolmen Mall- Karachi and other locations in Islamabad. Banks have blocked the cards of those individuals whose account have been to be tampered with as a precaution.

Naved Asghar—Chief Marketing Officer-HBL has said that the bank will compensate the individuals who have become victims of the attack. He also added that the ATMs will be checked for bugs and will be re-checked and that new cards will be provided to the victims.

This scam was previously highlighted, however, it was not as big as this wave of attacks.

How To Keep Your Details Safe

Before inserting your card, do a quick inspection of the ATM. Try to look inside and around the insert slot, see if you can detect any loose parts which might indicate tampering. If not, another precautionary step which can be taken is to place an object over your hand while inserting your PIN so that the numbers are invisible.

Reporting The Crime

Be sure to report the crime if there is something unusual about the ATM or your account.
