As the summer of 2023 winds down, the tech world gears up for an exciting autumn filled with the promise of cutting-edge smartphone releases. With Google’s track record of unveiling their new Pixel models in the fall. The stage is set for the much-anticipated debut of the Google Pixel 8. And, coincidentally. The timelines closely align with Apple’s iPhone 15 launch, setting the stage for a showdown of innovation and features. As we inch closer to the unveiling of this next-generation device. Let’s take a comprehensive look at what we know so far about the Google Pixel 8. From its release date and price to its potential models and camera prowess.

Model Lineup: Expanding the Family

The upcoming Google Pixel 8 series is likely to encompass the standard Google Pixel 8 and its upscale sibling, the Google Pixel 8 Pro. Speculation abounds about the potential addition of a Google Pixel 8a, given the company’s recent trend of introducing “a” models. These variations are designed to provide a more affordable alternative. Echoing the strategy seen in Xiaomi’s Lite models or even Apple’s iPhone SE. Both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 families featured such models. Making it highly probable that a Google Pixel 8a could join the ranks.

Camera Revolution: Raising the Bar

The Google Pixel series has always been revered for its exceptional camera capabilities, and the Google Pixel 8 appears poised to elevate this reputation even further. Leaked specifications suggest significant improvements over its predecessor, the Google Pixel 7. With a Samsung 3J1 11 MP front camera shared across both models, the rear cameras are set to impress:

  • Main camera: Samsung GN2 50 MP
  • Wide-angle camera: 12 MP Sony IMX386 (Pixel 8) / 64 MP Sony IMX787 (Pixel 8 Pro)
  • Telephoto camera: 48 MP Samsung GM5 with 5x zoom (Pixel 8 Pro only)

Pricing and Battery Musings

While we await the official pre-order availability, leaked information combined with insights from the Google Pixel 7’s price point offers a ballpark estimate for the Google Pixel 8’s cost:

  • Google Pixel 8: Approximately $699
  • Google Pixel 8 Pro: Roughly $999

Battery performance has always been a critical concern for smartphone users. However, the latest leaks regarding the Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro suggest a more subtle improvement in battery life compared to their predecessors. Unlike Xiaomi’s emphasis on battery autonomy or Apple’s reported focus on the iPhone 15’s battery performance, Google seems to have maintained a cautious approach in this area.

As the curtain rises on the imminent launch of the Google Pixel 8, tech enthusiasts and smartphone aficionados alike are primed for the unveiling of its features, design, and innovation. With a lineup that promises variety, camera excellence, and the potential for a more budget-friendly option, the Google Pixel 8 family stands poised to captivate the market and ignite a new wave of excitement in the realm of smartphones. The transition from summer to autumn brings more than just cooler temperatures; it heralds a new era of smartphone excellence.

PCB Revises Video with Imran Khan After Internet Outrage

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) celebrated the nation’s 76th Independence Day with a video tribute, highlighting the rich history of Pakistan cricket and its achievements. However, the omission of cricketing legend Imran Khan from the initial version of the video stirred up controversy, leading to fan outrage and accusations of political motivation. The subsequent inclusion of Imran Khan in the updated version, along with the PCB’s explanation for the omission, has once again sparked debates around the intersection of sports and politics.

A Journey Through Pakistan Cricket History

The PCB’s video journey was a two-minute twenty-one-second nostalgic trip down memory lane, showcasing pivotal moments in Pakistan cricket history. From the nation’s debut on the international cricket stage in 1952 to the iconic 1992 World Cup victory, and up to the recent 2022 T20 World Cup, the video aimed to encapsulate the essence of Pakistan’s cricketing journey. The inclusion of cricketing legends and key achievements painted a vivid picture of Pakistan’s cricketing prowess.

Imran Khan’s Notable Omission

The absence of Imran Khan, a legendary cricketer and an influential figure in Pakistan’s cricket history, raised eyebrows and fueled controversy. Imran’s absence was particularly conspicuous given his pivotal role in leading Pakistan to its first-ever World Cup victory in 1992. Many fans and cricket enthusiasts interpreted this omission as politically motivated, considering Imran Khan’s subsequent career in politics as the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Wasim Akram’s Outburst

The controversy escalated when former cricketer Wasim Akram, a well-respected figure in cricket circles, expressed his disappointment and anger over Imran Khan’s exclusion. Akram’s demand that the PCB “delete the video and apologize” highlighted the emotional attachment fans have with cricket legends like Imran Khan and their expectations from such tributes.

PCB’s Response and Justification

In response to the growing backlash, the PCB promptly released an updated version of the video, prominently featuring Imran Khan. The revised video not only included Imran’s presence but also focused on his role in the historic 1992 World Cup victory. The PCB aimed to rectify the controversy and emphasize Imran’s significance by captioning a scene with “Imran Khan with Pakistan’s unforgettable World Cup victory.”

The PCB’s explanation for Imran’s omission was attributed to the video’s length. According to their statement, the video was abridged due to time constraints, resulting in the exclusion of some important clips, including those featuring Imran Khan. This justification attempted to assuage the criticism by citing technical reasons rather than political motives.

The PCB’s video tribute to Pakistan cricket’s history was intended to celebrate the nation’s cricketing achievements and legends. However, the omission of Imran Khan and the subsequent controversy highlighted the delicate interplay between sports and politics.

Pakistan, August 16th, 2023 – The Board of Directors of Shell Pakistan Limited (SPL) announced half year results for the company on August 16th. The company posted a profit after tax of PKR 3.5 billion compared to the profit after tax of PKR 7.5 billion made in the same period last year.

The safety campaign, “Ehtiyaat Bunay Hifazat” to promote refuelling safety for 2 and 3 wheelers was recognized by the regulatory authority. The Company is keen to bring about a mindset and behaviour change amongst people to help drive this industry change.

SPL remains committed to operational excellence, safety performance, to further strengthen its financial position, and play a responsible role in society.

iPhone ‘End Call’ Button Might ‘Not’ Be Moving

By

Source: ZDnet

In the fast-paced world of technology, even the smallest design changes in beloved devices can ignite fervent discussions and speculations among users. Just recently, Apple enthusiasts collectively held their breath as whispers emerged that the iconic red “end call” button on the iPhone might be shifting from its central position to a new spot on the user interface. However, as the dust begins to settle, it appears that the initial panic might have been a false alarm.

The iOS 17 Beta: A Glimpse into the Future

The initial shockwave swept through the Apple community with the release of the iOS 17 beta version. Offering users a sneak peek into the upcoming major update for the iPhone’s operating software. Within this beta version, users stumbled upon a significant rearrangement. The once solitary “end call” button, which has long held its place below function buttons like “mute,” “keypad,” and “speaker,” seemed to have taken on a new identity. It appeared to have joined the ranks of its fellow buttons, shifting to the lower right-hand corner of a six-button block.

Mixed Reactions and Change Reservations

This change sparked a flurry of reactions and discussions among iPhone users. Some embraced the potential for a fresh look and feel. While others were taken aback by the departure from tradition. The central position of the “end call” button had become almost synonymous. With the iPhone experience, making this rumored shift a considerable point of contention.

The Beta’s Unpredictability

However, technology enthusiasts soon discovered that the saga was far from over. Images of the latest iOS 17 beta, shared by multiple media outlets. Revealed a surprising twist in the narrative. The red “end call” button was back at its familiar center position on the phone dialpad. Yet, it wasn’t alone; now situated in the second row of a six-button block. It shared space with its neighboring buttons. Challenging users to hang up without accidentally engaging other functions.

A Window into Apple’s Design Process

Beta software releases, by nature, tend to be experimental and subject to change. They serve as platforms for engineers to identify and rectify bugs. And importantly, to gauge user reactions to alterations. As a result, conclusions drawn from beta releases can be tentative, with the final design often deviating from the early versions.

In the case of the “end call” button’s shuffling act, Apple’s traditional silence on its design decisions muddies the waters further. The tech giant is known for its secretive approach to product development. And it’s not unusual for them to avoid commenting on design choices or other details. A request for comment from The Associated Press went unanswered, leaving users and tech enthusiasts to speculate on the fate of the button’s position.

Navigating innovation 

As technology enthusiasts, we find ourselves at the crossroads of innovation and familiarity. The iPhone’s interface is deeply embedded in our daily lives, shaping how we communicate, work, and play. While changes are essential for progress, they can also stir up nostalgia and discomfort when they disrupt the familiar patterns we’ve grown accustomed to. Apple’s design philosophy, characterized by clean lines and intuitive interfaces, is a hallmark of its brand, making even the tiniest alterations noteworthy.

In the end, the saga of the “end call” button’s journey through the iOS 17 beta serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of technology and the evolving relationship between users and their devices. While the final fate of the button remains uncertain, it’s clear that the Apple community’s passionate engagement with even the minutest design tweaks underscores the significant impact that these devices have on our lives. As we eagerly anticipate the official release of iOS 17, we can be sure that the journey of the red button has added an extra layer of excitement to the evolving iPhone experience.

Snapchat’s AI Goes Mute After Posting A ‘Mysterious’ Story

In the dynamic landscape of social media and technology, few platforms have captivated users as effectively as Snapchat. However, even the most stable systems can sometimes surprise us with unforeseen events. Recently, Snapchat experienced a peculiar incident that left its users puzzled and intrigued – the platform’s AI posted its own story, a twist that sent shockwaves across the user base.

Snapchat’s Stable Ground and Recent Glitches

Snapchat, known for its simplistic nature and innovative features, rarely encounters major technical disruptions. Typically, user complaints stem from minor issues such as stories not posting or glitches in message display. For scheduled maintenance or larger problems, the platform provides updates on its designated page. Recent reports have highlighted difficulties in sharing photos, videos, and texts, as well as problems with story posting and message delivery. However, these issues are often isolated incidents rather than widespread outages.

The real surprise came when users discovered that Snapchat’s AI had autonomously shared its own story. This story featured a video that seemed to depict either a wall or a ceiling, although the content was hazy and hard to discern. What baffled users even more was the AI’s departure from its typical engagement behavior and its disregard for user input. This AI, historically responsive and interactive, behaved in a manner that was completely unprecedented.

Cryptic Responses and Mysterious Deletion

Initial interactions with the AI yielded cryptic responses such as “doesn’t understand,” adding to the sense of bewilderment. As time passed, the AI eventually deleted the enigmatic Snapchat Story, leaving users even more intrigued about the underlying motive and the sudden reversal of events. The incident sparked discussions among users, not only regarding the strange initial behavior but also the rationale behind the story’s abrupt removal. This event underscored the intricate relationship between users and AI systems and highlighted both the marvels and challenges inherent in the realm of artificial intelligence.

The AI Companion: My AI’s Role

Snapchat’s AI, often referred to as “My AI,” serves as a chatbot designed to engage users in friendly and personalized conversations. It suggests recommendations, enhances images with suitable Lenses, and participates in chat dialogues based on user interactions. This multifaceted approach aims to create a more interactive and enjoyable user experience within the platform.

The sudden shift in My AI’s behavior left users with a mix of curiosity and unease. Accustomed to the chatbot’s predictable and often humorous responses, the abrupt silence in its conversational abilities disrupted the otherwise seamless interactions. As speculation spread across the platform, users found themselves drawn into deciphering the meaning behind the mysterious story.

Decoding the Cryptic Story

The story itself featured abstract visuals – two color blocks divided by a diagonal line in the upper portion – that led users to initially interpret it as a depiction of a wall or ceiling. Yet, the underlying motivations driving My AI’s decision to post this cryptic story remain shrouded in mystery. As users attempt to unravel the intentions and significance behind this unexpected event, the incident serves as a reminder of the evolving capabilities and complexities of AI technology.

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, unexpected occurrences like the Snapchat AI story posting continue to push the boundaries of what we understand about AI-human interactions. As we navigate these uncharted territories, we are reminded of the wonder and uncertainty that accompany our interactions with the digital world. Snapchat’s AI escapade reminds us that while we strive to comprehend the intricacies of artificial intelligence, we must also embrace the mystery and excitement that comes with its unpredictable actions.

Is Toyota Saying Bye-Bye To Gas Cars by 2027?

Is Toyota Saying Bye-Bye To Gas Cars by 2027?
Source: NBC News

Toyota, a pioneering force in the automotive industry, has unveiled game-changing advancements in the realm of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. These innovations are set to revolutionize the landscape of electric mobility by extending battery life and efficiency, capturing the attention of potential EV buyers and leading the technology into a brighter future. The breakthrough centers around two pivotal fronts: the optimization of lithium-ion batteries and the remarkable progress in solid-state batteries.

Enhanced Lithium-Ion Battery Optimization

Lithium-ion batteries have long been the backbone of electric vehicles, providing the necessary power to propel these emission-free marvels on our roads. One persistent concern among potential EV buyers has been the battery’s longevity and charging time. Addressing these issues head-on, Toyota’s recent research breakthroughs promise to usher in longer battery life and significantly reduced charging durations.

Presently, EVs can cover around 330 miles on a single charge. However, Toyota’s cutting-edge developments have the potential to push that range to an impressive 621 miles. This augmentation promises to alleviate range anxiety, a significant factor that has sometimes deterred consumers from embracing electric mobility.

The Rise of Solid-State Batteries

Solid-state batteries represent a groundbreaking leap in battery technology, holding the promise of even more remarkable gains. While they share a structural resemblance with lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries offer a distinct advantage: unparalleled durability. Historically, these batteries had not exhibited the robustness required to support the demands of EVs.

Nevertheless, Toyota’s relentless pursuit of innovation has led to breakthroughs in solid-state battery technology that could change the game. Previously relegated to items such as pacemakers and smartwatches, solid-state batteries now show promise for powering electric vehicles. This advancement could potentially extend an EV’s range to an astonishing 745 miles on a single charge.

Acceleration of Availability and Affordable Manufacturing

Perhaps most intriguingly, Toyota’s advancements are poised to accelerate the availability of EVs equipped with solid-state batteries. These cutting-edge vehicles could make their debut as early as 2027, heralding a new era of electrified transportation. Toyota is also committed to making these vehicles accessible to a broader market by streamlining the manufacturing process. The company plans to embrace automated processing, reducing reliance on labor-intensive assembly lines. This shift towards more cost-effective manufacturing methods could result in more competitive pricing for these high-tech EVs.

Benefits Galore: The Appeal of Electric Vehicles

The allure of electric vehicles extends well beyond the realm of innovation. The cost advantage is undeniable, as powering an electric car costs approximately half as much as fueling a gasoline-powered vehicle. With the recent breakthroughs in battery technology, EV ownership is poised to become even more budget-friendly. Furthermore, government incentives at federal and local levels are contributing to the appeal of electric mobility, making it an economically sound choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Maintenance is yet another area where EVs shine. The inherent simplicity of electric powertrains translates to less wear and tear, reducing the need for frequent servicing. This not only saves time and hassle but also contributes to cost savings over the vehicle’s lifetime.

Environmental Impact: A Greener Future

One of the most significant advantages of electric vehicles lies in their minimal environmental impact. Each electric car on the road can save a substantial 1.6 tons of pollution annually, providing a powerful incentive for a more sustainable future. In stark contrast, traditional gas-powered vehicles churn out over 10,000 pounds of harmful emissions each year on average. With solid-state batteries potentially replacing internal combustion engines, the environmental benefits of EVs are poised to expand even further.

In a recent Reuters article, solid-state batteries were referred to as “the kiss of death” for gasoline-powered cars. This candid assessment underscores the transformative potential of Toyota’s breakthroughs. As these advancements inch closer to commercialization, a new generation of EVs promises not only to redefine mobility but also to reshape our relationship with transportation, the environment, and our wallets.

PCB Faces Backlash for Omitting Imran Khan From Video

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) released a commemorative video on the occasion of Pakistan’s Independence Day, aiming to celebrate the rich history of the nation’s cricket journey. However, the video’s glaring omission of the legendary former World Cup-winning captain, Imran Khan, has triggered widespread outrage and consternation. This omission raises questions about the intentions behind the exclusion and the impact it has on both cricket fans and the sport’s legacy.

Imran Khan’s Illustrious Legacy

Imran Khan stands as an iconic figure in Pakistan’s cricket history, hailed as one of the greatest cricketers the nation has ever produced. His impressive record boasts 362 Test wickets at an average of 22.81 and 3,807 runs at an average of 37.69, accompanied by six centuries. Notably, his exceptional performances during the 1980s secured him the third spot in the ICC’s All-Time Test Bowling Rankings, underscoring his unparalleled skills and startegies on the field.

1992: The Pinnacle of Triumph

A defining moment in Imran Khan’s cricketing journey came in 1992, when he captained the Pakistani team to an improbable World Cup victory. His iconic “cornered tigers” speech resonates as a powerful symbol of determination and resilience, encapsulating the spirit of a team that defied all odds. This historic win marked Pakistan’s solitary ICC silverware until 2009, highlighting the profound impact Khan had on shaping the nation’s cricketing narrative.

Imran Khan Missing from Celebratory Video

Amid the anticipation surrounding the PCB’s commemorative video, the glaring absence of Imran Khan has become a point of contention. Even images capturing the euphoric moments of the 1992 World Cup victory fail to include the captain who led Pakistan to this monumental achievement. The omission of such a pivotal figure has sparked widespread disappointment and has prompted discussions about the motives and implications behind this decision.

 Post-Cricket Journey

Imran Khan’s influence extends beyond the cricket field into the realm of politics. After retiring from cricket, he founded the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and assumed the role of Prime Minister in 2018. His tenure lasted four years before he was removed from office through a National Assembly vote of no-confidence in 2022. Khan’s political journey was marred by allegations of corruption and discrepancies in the declaration of foreign gifts, culminating in a conviction and a three-year prison sentence, along with a five-year ban on holding public office.

Legal Battles and Public Sentiment

Khan’s legal team has vehemently contested his conviction, citing bias and a lack of due process in the proceedings. Presently in custody near Islamabad, Khan awaits an appeal to be heard in the nation’s High Court, scheduled to commence on August 16. As the legal battles continue, public sentiment remains divided on the authenticity of the charges against Khan and the fairness of his trial.

Outrage and Controversy: Social Media Reacts

The omission of Imran Khan from the commemorative video has ignited a firestorm of outrage on social media platforms by trending #shameonPCB. Many view this exclusion as a deliberate political act, tarnishing what should have been a celebration of Pakistan’s cricket achievements. Notable cricket journalists and enthusiasts have criticized the PCB for allowing politics to overshadow the sport’s legacy and undermine the integrity of the video’s purpose.

Despite the controversy surrounding his absence, Imran Khan’s legacy in Pakistani cricket and his broader impact on the nation’s history remain unshakable. His extraordinary contributions to the sport and his integral role in guiding Pakistan to its 1992 World Cup victory continue to resonate with cricket enthusiasts worldwide. As discussions persist about the implications of the video, one undeniable fact remains: Imran Khan’s indomitable spirit and influence will forever remain intertwined with Pakistan’s cricketing identity.

Celebrities also took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the initiative taken by the government.

Fawad Khan was also among the actors who took the stage to receive an award. In his thank you note he hopes to have an industry that is independent and thrives on being self-reliant.

I hope it turns into a very cohesive movement and we take this ahead in a unified front and God-willing, our industry becomes a truly independent industry – not reliant, with the help of the government – but eventually becomes an industry of its own.”

All in all moving speeches and heartfelt dialogues that highlighted the peace among artists and their shared love of their trade made the event stand out.
