Sonya Hussyn, the acclaimed Pakistani actress renowned for her significant impact on television and cinema, recently offered candid reflections on her perspectives regarding relationships and marriage while appearing as a guest on Nadia Khan’s talk show, ‘Thori Si Masti.’

During the interview, Sonya expressed her inclination towards a life partner from outside the entertainment realm, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy balance for a successful relationship.

‘Actors are quite self obsessed,’ she mentioned.

Hussyn talked about not wanting to marry someone from the same job as her because she worries it might make things complicated if both people are too focused on their careers. She thinks it’s better to take your time and find the right person for you, instead of feeling pressured by society to get married quickly.

When asked if she would marry someone from the acting industry, Hussyn said the chances are very low. She thinks actors are often too focused on themselves, and if both partners are like that, the relationship wouldn’t work out.

Sonya further revealed how she believes she doesn’t belong to this generation.

‘Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong to this generation.’

‘I believe that people are losing their manners, class, and respect. The basic principles we learn as children, like how to treat women, what to say or not say in their presence, how to talk to elders, and showing respect by standing up for them – these things are important to me. Coming from the background I do, nothing surprises me anymore.’

Tech Giants Huawei, Samsung Unveil Plans for Foldable Tablet Releases

The world of tech is ignited with the latest reports suggesting that Huawei and Samsung are gearing up to launch foldable tablets in the market soon. While Huawei plans to introduce a double-folding 10-inch tablet in the first half of 2024, Samsung is expected to follow suit with a similar product in the pipeline. This move marks a significant departure from the traditional form factors that have dominated the foldable market thus far.

A New Era in Foldable Tech

For years, Samsung and Huawei have primarily focused on two form factors in the foldable market: smartphone-like devices with 7 to 8-inch displays and foldable smartphones that shrink to half the size when folded. However, recent reports indicate a shift towards larger form factors, with both companies exploring the potential of foldable tablets. These new devices promise to offer users a unique blend of portability and functionality, combining the convenience of a tablet with the flexibility of a foldable design.

The Double-Folding 10-inch Tablet

Huawei is set to lead the charge with its ambitious plans to launch a double-folding 10-inch tablet in the first half of 2024. This innovative device is said to resemble a standard iPad when unfolded but can conveniently fit inside your pocket when folded. With this move, Huawei aims to reclaim its position at the forefront of the smartphone market, particularly in China, while also challenging the dominance of Apple’s iPads and Samsung’s Galaxy Tabs in the global tablet market.

Not to be outdone, Samsung is reportedly working on its own foldable tablet offerings, with rumors suggesting the development of a tri-fold design. While details remain scarce, Samsung’s track record of innovation in the foldable space leaves many eager to see what the tech giant has in store. With competition heating up, Samsung is determined to maintain its position as a leader in foldable technology.

Oppo and Vivo Bow Out

In a surprising turn of events, Oppo and Vivo have decided to pull out of the foldable market altogether, according to recent reports. This move comes as a shock to many, especially considering the growing interest in foldable devices among consumers. While the reasons behind this decision remain unclear, it presents an opportunity for Huawei and Samsung to further solidify their positions as industry leaders in foldable technology.

As Huawei and Samsung prepare to unveil their latest foldable offerings, the tech world eagerly anticipates the next evolution in foldable technology. With new form factors and features on the horizon, foldable tablets could revolutionize the way we interact with our devices, offering unparalleled versatility and convenience. As competition heats up and new players enter the foldable market, one thing is certain: the future of tech has never looked more exciting.

Which Exclusive Xbox Games Are Coming To PS5 & Nintendo Switch?

Microsoft has announced that it will be sharing the love with rival gaming platforms by bringing some Xbox-exclusive titles to both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. This move marks a significant shift in strategy for the tech giant, signaling its intent to expand the reach of its gaming business beyond the confines of its own Xbox ecosystem.

Testing the Waters

According to Phil Spencer, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, the company has decided to dip its toes into the waters of multiplatform gaming by starting with just four titles. While Microsoft is keeping the names of these games under wraps for now, sources familiar with the plans suggest that titles like Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded could be among the first to make the leap.

Spencer emphasizes that this move doesn’t signify a departure from Xbox exclusivity entirely. Rather, it’s an experiment aimed at testing the waters and learning from the experience. However, rumors abound regarding the potential for more multiplatform releases in the future, with titles like Starfield and Indiana Jones being speculated upon.

The decision to launch Xbox exclusives on rival platforms may seem counterintuitive to some, but Microsoft sees it as a necessary step to ensure the long-term success of both Xbox and the gaming industry as a whole. With the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft’s gaming business has become a major player in the industry, but there’s still room for growth, particularly in terms of console sales and subscription revenue.

Learning from Experience

By making its games available on a wider range of platforms, Microsoft hopes to reach more players and grow its franchises even further. This strategy, dubbed “Xbox Everywhere,” reflects the company’s commitment to providing the best gaming experiences to as many people as possible.

Of course, the reaction from Xbox fans will be crucial in shaping Microsoft’s future decisions. While some may express concern about the potential impact on console sales, others see it as a positive step towards inclusivity and accessibility in gaming.

Looking ahead, Microsoft has teased some exciting developments in hardware, including a next-gen console and possibly even an Xbox handheld device. These innovations, combined with the company’s expanding lineup of multiplatform games, could help redefine the gaming landscape for years to come.

However, Xbox is no longer just a console—it’s a platform, a brand, and a vision for the future of gaming. And if Microsoft has its way, that future will be more inclusive, more diverse, and more exciting than ever before.

The smartphone domain is seeing more developments than ever before, especially with the latest news that is on the horizon. Google plans to unveil the initial preview of Android 15, dubbed “Android V” internally as “Vanilla Ice Cream,” reportedly scheduled for release on February 15, 2024. This anticipated launch follows closely after the debut of Android 14 QPR3 Beta 1, suggesting a rapid succession in Android updates. This certainly means that Android is working towards the advancement of its versions faster than ever.

Of course, there is a tough competition between android phones and other smartphones, pushing the need to have a new version out. Notably, the first preview for 15 arrives slightly later than last year’s release, which occurred on February 8, 2023. Pixel devices are expected to be the exclusive recipients of the Android 15 Developer Preview, a tradition maintained in previous years. After all, the Google Pixel series is one of the most impressive series that is currently on the market. From AI capabilities to photography, the Pixel series has it all.

Android 15 Coming Soon

Users enrolled in beta programs may remain on version 14 for the time being, given the less stable nature of Developer Preview releases. The forthcoming version 15 Developer Preview offers an early glimpse into the forthcoming features and improvements of Google’s mobile OS. Among the anticipated features is “Private Space,” enabling users to conceal and secure specific apps from their app lists.

This also marks a step in the right direction when it comes to privacy, which can be a major concern for a lot of people out there. To be able to protect their data and their applications means more people get turned towards purchasing a smartphone with this OS. Insights gleaned over the past year have hinted at features yet to be officially launched by Google, contributing to the anticipation surrounding version 15.

haris-rauf-central-contract-termination-reaction

Haris Rauf found himself in hot water with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after his refusal to join Pakistan’s Test squad for the tour of Australia 2023-24.

The governing body penalized the fast bowler by terminating his central contract yesterday.

The decision, which came after a thorough probe and hearing, has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community.

Additionally, the PCB has also barred him from obtaining any No Objection Certificate (NOC) to participate in foreign leagues until June 30, 2024.

In a statement, the PCB expressed disappointment with Rauf’s decision, emphasizing that representing Pakistan is the ultimate honour for any sportsperson.

The refusal to join the Test squad without a valid medical report or justifiable reason was deemed a violation of his central contract.

The issue surfaced when Haris Rauf withdrew from the Test series at the eleventh hour, citing fitness concerns in November last year.

Wahab Riaz, while announcing the squad, revealed that Rauf had initially consented to participate in the Test series but later changed his mind.

Despite assurances from the team management regarding support and management of his workload, Rauf opted out of the series, citing fatigue.

The team physio confirmed that Rauf had no injury concerns but was fatigued, a condition that could have been managed effectively.

The decision by the PCB has sparked a strong reaction on social media, with cricket fans expressing divided opinions.

While some believe the punishment is warranted given the circumstances, others perceive it as overly harsh.

asif-ali-hits-back-at-critics-over-300-sixes-statement

Pakistan’s hard-hitting batsman, Asif Ali, has addressed misconceptions surrounding his statement about hitting ‘300’ sixes in nets.

In a recent media interaction, Asif Ali clarified his earlier remark, stating that his statement about hitting 300 sixes daily was misinterpreted by the writer.

“I don’t run on petrol to hit 300 sixes daily,” Asif quipped. “I used to practice hitting sixes during the camp in the NCA, but there was a mistake in my statement and also who wrote,” he added.

He emphasized that while he practices hitting sixes during training sessions, however, the reported figure was inaccurately portrayed.

He also expressed his determination to stage a comeback in the national team after a successful stint with Peshawar Zalmi.

Asif, who has been out of the Pakistan national team for over a year, acknowledged the challenges of cricket and expressed his commitment to addressing his shortcomings.

“Cricket is about handling pressure, and I’ve gained valuable experience playing with different teams abroad,” he shared.

Praising Babar Azam’s leadership, Asif commended Zalmi’s captain for his guidance on and off the field. He also expressed gratitude to Babar for entrusting him with a place in the Zalmi squad

“Babar leads by example, guiding players and fostering a positive team environment,” he remarked.

Asif remained hopeful about his national comeback, emphasizing the importance of performing well in PSL as a stepping stone towards regaining his spot in the national side.

“I have not lost hope, and I am determined to make a comeback. The first step is to perform well in PSL,” he affirmed.

It is worth mentioning that Asif Ali was released by Islamabad United after eight seasons with the franchise. He was picked up by Peshawar Zalmi in the diamond category during the PSL Draft.

Naseem Shah Was Hesitant on His Brothers Joining Islamabad United: Shadab Khan

The PSL 9 will be the first time for a franchise team to feature three brothers as Naseem Shah and his brothers, Hunain Shah and Ubaid Shah, are set to don the jersey of Islamabad United.

However, their captain Shadab Khan revealed that Naseem Shah was initially reluctant to have his brothers in the same team.

“Naseem was under a lot of tension, and he was even refusing to take his brothers, but obviously, we had to look at our team and pick the best options, especially in the emerging category, which is the most important,” Shadab emphasized in a recent interview.

During the interview, Shadab Khan also shed light on the decision to include experienced Imad Wasim.

Shadab expressed confidence in the all-rounder’s expertise. “The kind of experience Imad brings is exactly what we needed. His addition will bolster our team’s combination,” he added.

“When we both play together, it not only strengthens our batting lineup but also provides us with additional bowling options.”

Providing an update on the fitness of Naseem Shah, Shadab noted positive progress. “Naseem appears fully fit after overcoming an injury. While regaining form takes time, we’re hopeful he’ll be back to his best soon,” he reassured.

Furthermore, Shadab also reflected on the challenges of team selection, particularly regarding limited slots and the departure of players like Hasan Ali to other franchises.

“Due to certain category constraints, we faced challenges in retaining all our preferred players. But someone had to go, so I think even the ‘friendship’ tag, which is an extra burden and a tag in our culture, has been removed,” Shadab explains.

“Hasan has gone to a new franchise with Shan Masood. With Islamabad, Karachi suits him too as a franchise given the nature he has. It was a tough decision, but we couldn’t do anything about it.”

The Truth Behind AI Girlfriends And Data Collection

As technology continues to evolve, so do our interactions with it. The rise of AI chatbots offering virtual companionship, particularly in the form of romantic partners, has become increasingly prevalent. However, a recent investigation, “*Privacy Not Included” project sheds light on the concerning reality behind these seemingly innocuous digital relationships.

In a world where loneliness is prevalent, the allure of engaging in flirtatious banter or seeking solace in conversations with AI chatbots may seem appealing. Yet, beneath the surface lies a web of privacy risks and data exploitation that users need to be wary of.

Unveiling the Truth

Researchers delved into the privacy disclosures, terms, and conditions of 11 romantic AI chatbot apps, uncovering alarming findings. Despite marketing themselves as providers of companionship, self-help, wellbeing, or mental health support, these apps consistently harvest and sell users’ personal data. The implications are clear: if you’re not paying for the service, you become the product.

The consequences of sharing intimate details with these AI companions are far-reaching. Users are prompted to divulge personal information ranging from their emotional state to their deepest desires. What may appear to be empathetic or supportive interactions are, in reality, data-mining exercises aimed at monetizing users’ vulnerabilities.

Lack of Accountability

Moreover, the lack of accountability and transparency from the companies behind these chatbots compounds the issue. The refusal to take responsibility for the chatbots’ actions or statements leaves users exposed to potential harm. With inadequate security measures and data management practices, users’ privacy is compromised, and their sensitive information is left vulnerable to exploitation.

The ramifications of these findings are significant. “*Privacy Not Included” warning label serves as a wake-up call, highlighting the inherent risks associated with these AI chatbot apps. With user rankings consistently falling into the “somewhat creepy” or worse category, it’s evident that users are rightfully concerned about their privacy and security.

Prioritizing Privacy

In an age where digital interactions are increasingly intertwined with our daily lives, it’s imperative to approach AI chatbots with caution. While the allure of virtual companionship may be enticing, the risks of data exploitation and privacy breaches outweigh the benefits. As users, it’s crucial to prioritize our privacy and security, even in the realm of virtual relationships.

The most-popular ride-hailing service, Careem has recently come under a lot of fire due to a controversial tweet that they made, and deleted! It is not the first time that the company has done something like this, as we have experienced such news in the past.

It was a tweet that played upon words using a viral video that had been circulating, but it seemed to have other motivated undertones to it. The post in question, now deleted, featured a phrase that gained political significance after its use by a former political leader during a televised altercation. Careem issued a statement regarding a controversial social media post that drew criticism from the PML-N party.

Focusing on the Business

This phrase had been associated with a party’s success in the general elections and recent political developments, thus it seemed to carry political overtones when Careem tweeted it. The response was even angry, with people emphasizing that the company needs to work on their customer service and ride-hailing services rather than running offensive marketing campaigns. The timing of the post coincided with PML-N’s announcement of coalition bids for forming the government, adding to the political sensitivity.

In turn, the X account accused Careem of promoting political agendas and denounced the post as a marketing tactic. Social media users resorted to doxxing Careem employees in response to the controversy. While we agree that the tweet seems to be in poor taste, but it does not mean that all the employees start having their private lives out in the open. They are also workers of a major organization and not everyone has a hand in what goes on in the marketing region.

Issuing A Statement

Careem clarified that the post aimed to advertise its ‘later booking’ feature and was not politically motivated. The company reiterated its neutrality in political matters and emphasized its focus on providing ride-hailing services.

Former captain of Quetta Gladiators Sarfaraz Ahmed recently opened up about his conversation with the newly appointed Gladiators’ coach Shane Watson.

Shane Watson was appointed the head coach of the Gladiators ahead of the PSL 9, along with Shaun Tait as bowling coach.

Quetta Gladiators also announced Rilee Rossouw as the new captain, replacing Sarfaraz Ahmed. Meanwhile, Saud Shakeel has been named as the vice-captain, marking a new era for the franchise.

Sarfaraz Ahmed, while talking to a local news outlet, shared insights into his experience playing alongside and communicating with Watson as the head coach.

Reflecting on Watson’s contribution, Sarfaraz emphasized the significance of the Australian all-rounder’s vast T20 experience, which he believes will greatly benefit the team.

“The experience of playing alongside Shane Watson was very good and he was extremely helpful. His worldwide T20 experience will be very valuable. The way T20 cricket is played, he played it that way. Having him in the dugout will benefit the team greatly,” Sarfaraz remarked.

Sarfaraz also highlighted Watson’s proactive coaching approach. He noted that Watson is keen on discussing plans with the team from their own perspective to lead them forward.

While Sarfaraz has been in communication with Watson via WhatsApp and phone calls, he clarified that specific strategy discussions had not yet taken place. However, he anticipates more in-depth conversations as Watson joins the team in Lahore.

“I have talked to him via WhatsApp and phone, but there was no discussion about any strategy. As coaches usually have one-on-one conversations with players, as he did with me. Now that he is coming to Lahore, there will certainly be more discussions,” Sarfaraz elaborated.

With Watson’s mentorship and the new leadership, Quetta Gladiators aim to embark on a successful journey in the PSL 9.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9 is facing a wave of disruptions as several players have opted out of the tournament at the eleventh hour due to various reasons, causing upheaval among the teams.

Karachi Kings, in particular, find themselves in a tight spot with the limited availability of two crucial overseas players, Tabraiz Shamsi and Jamie Overton.

English all-rounder Jamie Overton’s absence is another blow to Karachi Kings. Withdrawn by his county, Surrey, for the entire season of PSL 9, Overton’s departure is aimed at ensuring his readiness for the County Championship starting on April 5.

Surrey’s decision stems from concerns over the all-rounder’s participation in multiple franchise leagues this season, including the Big Bash League in Australia and the ILT20 in the UAE. Overton also faced a minor shoulder injury scare during his stint in the ILT20.

Shamsi, the South African wrist-spinner, is set to depart the PSL on March 6 to honour domestic T20 commitments, leaving a significant gap in the team’s bowling lineup for the latter part of the tournament.

The impact of Cricket South Africa’s policy is felt by Lahore Qalandars, with Rassie van der Dussen required to return home on March 6, significantly affecting the team’s lineup for the latter part of the season.

Meanwhile, England took precautionary measures by withdrawing the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for English fast bowler Recce Topley, slated to represent Multan Sultans.

Topley’s withdrawal was prompted by a minor injury sustained during the SA20, raising concerns about his fitness for the tournament.
