5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks which will leave 4G behind. However, the technology was not predicted to come to Pakistan at least for a few decades. How did we get its first test run done already?

Who Brought it Here?

PTCL Group is one of the country’s largest and most influential telecom groups. It comes as no doubt that they have tested 5G technology in a special, exclusive ceremony at PTCL headquarters. The ceremony was attended by the likes of Syed Amin Ul Haque, Federal Minister for Information Technology & Telecommunication as the Chief Guest.

However, it is important to note that the trial is strictly on a non-commercial basis right now.

What Did The Demonstration Entail of?

The ceremony included live 5G usage scenarios at the ceremony. The demonstrations also included remote surgery, Cloud gaming, and overview of other anticipated 5G technology applications. The most exciting part has to be the achievement of the fastest data rate with download speeds reaching 1.685 Gbps during the 5G trial.

The Medical Advancements Made Possible

The introduction of 5G technology in Pakistan will mean more than just fast data for phones. Once applied in Pakistan, it can enable doctors to conduct surgeries remotely in far-off areas. This can not only actually remove barriers between doctors but it can advance fundamental social developments in underdeveloped areas of Pakistan.

Social Impact of 5G

5G will make the “Digital Pakistan” dream come true. It will enable the digitalization of Pakistan by connecting people with efficient purpose-built technology to facilitate opening industries as well as individuals.

Moreover, this 5G can enable future innovations in struggling sectors such as remote education, public safety, transportation, health and manufacturing amongst others. What we are hoping for is the more equal distribution of resources by utilising this mega-tech development. 

What Are The Limitations?

There are several limitations that have yet to be overcome. 5G is firstly an incredibly expensive technology which a third world country like ours can not afford. Pakistan still does not have access to 4G in many areas, how can we jump onto 5G?

Moreover, 5G requires an entirely different infrastructure to be laid on the ground level. This obviously means a large investment. In the face of several other investments waiting to be made, will we prioritize this?

5G technology will surely enable an emerging technological environment and create an ecosystem conducive to economic prosperity in Pakistan. However, we have a long way to go.

Naseebo Lal Reacts To Response On PSL Anthem 2021

psl anthem

PSL Anthem for 2021 was released with quite a bang. There was much noise right after the song was aired. Some just did not like the song, while some thought that only Ali Zafar had given good PSL anthems. But what was in this year’s anthem? It had Naseebo Lal, Aima Baig, and Young Stunners coming together to form a stadium anthem that would make the crowd ‘groove’ with the music.

PSL Anthem – Groove Mera

Yes, groove does not just mean a trench; it also means dancing to popular music. And yes, the anthem does grow on you. So when you sit down to listen, sometime later, you will be singing along just like you did with ‘Baby Shark’. But people have been making fun of the anthem. Aima, one could say, has not paid much heed to the trolls, the Young Stunners were used in many memes, Naseebo Lal, however, got the most bashing. The haters did not like her presence for a PSL song.

While there are haters, as there are for literally everything, people have also showered love for the song and the singers.

Before we continue further, take a look at the anthem for yourself. 

https://youtu.be/KBdjwrywyKo

For Naseebo Lal, this project was different from what she is used to. Singing a song focused on a sports-related activity, which is also the most awaited event for the entire country, must have been a new experience for her.

In an interview, she was asked about how she felt. Amidst tears of joy, she mentioned that it was all God’s blessing that she got the project. Never had she ever gotten anthems or PSL songs to sings, so if the organizers thought she could perform, it was all thanks to God. She also mentions that it was her talent that made people shortlist her for it because if it was not a challenging tune, she might not have gotten it.

The Groove Mera song has won the hearts of loyal music fans and the fans of PSL who are grooving with ‘Aaj dekhe ga crowd’ in the talented voice of Naseebo Lal.

Here Is Why Internet Services Have Been Disrupted In Pakistan

Pakistanis have been facing disruptions in internet services today. Now, we are a nation that is used to internet problems, but as it turns out, this time, there is a legit reason behind these problems.

Internet services disruptions in Pakistan

So the problem detected is that the submarine cable that connects Pakistan’s internet to the rest of the world is offline. It isn’t the only internet supplier, but it does occupy the major pie (20%), so problems there are bound to affect most of the population. The IMEWE cable needs to be restored, but there has not been an update on how much time will the restoration process take.

While the submarine wire needs to be restored, we need to work on alternative methods of getting internet services because just this puts us decades back in the world.

Zong’s Network Glitch Wakes Up Internet Trolls & It’s Hilarious

With the constant advancements of technology, the services have become relatively cheap and affordable. But we still have to pay for them. For instance, now receiving calls and messages is free but making calls and sending texts or using the internet is not. So we have to either have a phone balance or packages to utilize these services. Yesterday, however, you did not need to have that money in your account if you were a Zong user.

Zong System Glitch

Due to some system glitch, Zong users could use all the data they wanted, make phone calls or send texts without being charged anything. It was like a dream come true for Zong users, yes. But it was also hell for the other network users who witnessed Zong people flaunting their free internet. And as we are famous for it, Pakistanis started pouring in memes on Twitter.

I will tell you this; they were one amazing assortment of memes we have seen in quite some time.

Let’s have a look:

1. Zong users were clearly very happy

2. They were also rubbing it in other network users’ faces

3. Network users were definitely in love with the network

4. Rubbing it some more

5. What other time would be good to update the app?

5. The crowd on the browser would definitely hang the phone

Some more memes on Zong Network




While Zong people enjoyed the free services and the other networks did not, it should be noted that it was because that network made it so. Because there was a system glitch and upon correcting the problem, the system will go back to charging the users. And we should also note that because of this glitch, the company must have also lost quite a bit of money.

So hilarious reactions and memes on Twitter aside, other network users (read, me) should also get such instances in life to feel the happiness amidst all these sad days.

Toyota Fortuner Vs Toyota Surf – A Comparison You Need To See

Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Surf comparison
Image Source: suvdrive.com

The automobile industry is one the fastest rising ones in the world. Where we were still trying to move past manual cars, many new transmissions are a thing. Gears used to be considered extremely inefficient many decades ago. Often times, it took quite a while for a car to start and its exhaust release was monstrous.

In every car brand, there are friendly rivals and competitors. They are of the same company but their similar features cause them to go head to head. This doesn’t mean that one of them is bad or less in features, it just depends on the preference of the driver. Today, we can have a comparison between Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Surf. Both of them are robust vehicles and deserve a frame of their own. Let us dive into details.

Toyota Fortuner and Another comparison
Image Source: carwale.com

The Two Ends:

Toyota Fortuner is considered as a relatively new entry into this industry. When it first came out, it gathered quite a lot of popularity due to its features. It gathers quite a lot of power under the hood and leaves the driver wanting more. It is built for tough terrains and can move across any form of landscape.

Now, moving towards Toyota Surf, it is another titan. This is one of the older ones in the history of Toyota. When people used to think about the Land cruiser counterpart, they used to imagine Toyota Surf too. The Cruiser price bracket has gone high by a huge margin so we compare two vehicles in a more reasonable comparison. Surf is also a suitable vehicle for the family and had a power-packed engine.

Design And Beneath The Hood:

The Toyota Fortuner Diesel variant comes with a 2.8L engine while the petrol one has a 2.7L capacity. It is a seven-seater vehicle with adequately good fuel mileage. In terms of transmission, it is both auto and manual, depending on the variant. Its fuel tank has an 80L capacity.

Toyota Surf has an automatic transmission, all fitted with a 3.4L engine. This is quite a powerful engine, and its built quality is a standing testament to its capability. It has a six-cylinder engine with a 5 person seating capacity and a 70L fuel tank. With 180 top speed, this vehicle is one to be trifled with.

Surf and Fortuner by Toyota

The Price Bracket:

The Toyota Fortuner is currently set at a price of between 90Lac to 100Lac. This seems like quite a hefty amount for a vehicle but what it offers can stand as a justification for its price. Its features are premium and it’s fit for the whole family. Now, this is an impressive vehicle!

Coming to the second one, the surf is available at a price of Rs.95Lac and moves up and beyond Rs.100Lac. There is not a substantial difference between the prices of the two vehicles compared here. Both require an investment and running over the long term. We hope the driver is able to select based on the preference of drive and features!

Shoaib Akhtar Blasts PSL 6 Anthem, Shows Disappointment

Cricket is one of the best sports known to the world of today. It started off with Great Britain wanting to do something different. This country is honestly known for a lot of sporting inventions and they still do it. You must have heard of the ashes. It is one of the oldest series in the history of the sport. Then there are famous cricketers who have shaped the history of the sport. These people have used their talents to boost the spirit of the sport sky-high.

Whether you watch cricket or not, you must have heard of names like Shoaib Akhtar, Ricky Ponting or Javed Miandad. Now, with us entering into the second month of 2021, we see PSL 6 starting. There is quite a lot of hype surrounding this event and a lot of people are looking forward to it.

PSL anthem and Shoaib

Cricket At Heart:

We, as Pakistanis, have a certain passion within us. This is built in a lot of the people here due to it being so popular here. Everytime you think about cricket, people from Pakistan must appear in your mind at some point. It takes quite a lot of spirit to support a team through ups and downs. Where they may boo the team over a loss, they still hold their heads high in hope that they will win again.

Events in cricket are widespread. They range from test series to one day matches or T20 ones. Test series last more than four days and T20s are some of the shortest games ever. However, they are often quite intense and thrill-filled. The PSL is yet another type of cricket based event which takes place every year now. The teams have a roster with people from all over the world with track records.

PSL 6 Anthem:

With every PSL version, comes a PSL anthem. The opening ceremony of the event is one of the most anticipated ones. It often features celebrities and singers from various domains, coming together in one place. However, the anthem has gathered quite a lot of different opinions.

There are different opinions from everyone! Even Shoaib Akhtar has expressed himself over the anthem ‘Groove Mera’. A lot of people have said they love the opening, while some have said ‘Young Stunners’ performed well. Alongside there, there are many people who have either made memes or satire about the anthem!

Another Sports Season:

Despite everything, we must keep in mind that the event is yet to happen. It’s opening will take place on the day of the first match and people will want to see it. Pakistanis are huge fans of the sport and will not hear any negative views about it.

We hope that the PSL 6, this year, has a lot of interesting stuff to watch. It is always fun for two teams to go against each other and battle it out on the pitch. The battle is about to begin again, get your hats and drinks ready!

Brands Troll Weetabix Over Strange Breakfast Combination

Image Source: gloucestershirelive.co.uk

Weetabix is a breakfast food that you would typically take with milk. Made of oatmeal and some other ingredients, it works well with milk, so that how one would take it. Meanwhile, beans are something you would take with bread. And while people want to venture out of their comfort zone, doing that with food doesn’t sit right with many people.

weetabix

Weetabix and its strange food combination

So when Weetabix decided to play around with food, it looked just weird. What the brand did was combined Weetabix with Heinz’s beans. They tweeted about it.

Before you start gagging, let us tell you that there are quite some laughs in store for you. And this is because before people could express their horror, brands from all over came forward to convey our feelings to Weetabix.

Brands troll and react

Well, remember how we outright rejected pineapple on Pizza? We, in fact, forgot all about it. Domino’s didn’t. And they replied to the tweet. The tweet said that they thought their food combo was the strangest, but Weetabix won in that category.

Nando’s were worried about them, though, because something must have happened for things to get this bad. Nando’s tweeted in reply that they are there for Weetabix should it need an ear.

But KFC UK & Ireland was not ready to talk when food had been made fun of. They said that the matter needed to be taken to Geneva Convention. And thus began a side banter between Nando’s and KFC UK where Twitterati had to tell them to ‘get a room’.

 

Tinder, too, declared this food combination not a match, but Weetabix wholeheartedly endorsed it, reiterating that they would totally swipe right.

Sky TV also jumped into the race, saying it was their duty to save the nation from seeing this.

Meanwhile, KFC was on a roll…

It’s always interesting to see brands using their own keywords to troll others.

The best one yet was the pun filled trolling of Specsavers and National Rail. Have a look:

It continues:

This was an interesting activity that many more brands took part in. And it did not just create virality but also gave organic reach to many brands participating in this trolling. If you haven’t come across it yet, we strongly suggest that you do so, it will be a fun-filled evening.

iPhone 12 Mini Sales Drop – Should We Expect iPhone 13 Mini?

Image Source: ePhotoZine

Apple is the undisputed smartphone leader of the world. Even though the company is facing tough competition from its competitors like Samsung and Xiaomi, past records have shown that companies tend to follow Apple’s strategies and incorporate things like them in order to sustain their position in the market.

Image Source: The Verge

iPhone 12 Mini’s Is The Lowest Selling iPhone By Apple:

Apple released four models of iPhones last year which were probably meant to cater to everyone’s needs. However, the latest data reveals that the lowest and cheapest iPhone from that range, iPhone 12 Mini was a massive flop. As per Counterpoint, which is a well-known industry data provider, the sales of the iPhone 12 Mini were only 5% of the total sales of all the iPhones in January 2021.

Industry standards have shown that consumers have preferred to buy larger devices in the past few years. It is important to note this point as the iPhone 12 Mini was the smallest phone in the smartphone range released by Apple.

Are There Going To Be “Mini” Category Phones In The Future?

J.P Morgan analyst William Yang says that this sharp decline in the sales of iPhone 12 mini reveal Apple might even stop the production of the phones in the second quarter of the year 2021, as more people prefer the upper models rather than opting for the lowest one.

Even though Apple is yet to comment on any of this analysis and insights, but it is interesting to note that people prefer phones with larger screens despite the fact that that the focus of smartphone manufacturers was on decreasing the size of the phone several years ago, however, touch-screen and content consumption like videos, gaming, etc. might have changed consumers’ preferences.

Even though there has been no formal announcement of the iPhone 12 Mini getting discontinued, if this happens then, this will be extremely embarrassing for a giant like Apple to be halting the production of one of their products due to less demand.

The release of the iPhone 12 range was released with a delay of a few weeks owing to the pandemic. However, many have preferred to choose between the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max.

The phones were released in Pakistan officially, and as always, Apple was trolled for its latest features and the charger-less iPhone.

What do you think about the iPhone 12 Mini’s sales? Do you think Apple is losing its position in the market? Let us know under the comments.

6 Reasons Why K2 Mountain Is Claimed To Be ‘Savage’

Image Source: Sky News

Ali Sadpara and his accompany mountaineers have been the subject of headlines for over a week now. The Pakistani mountaineer, with a passion that could put the mountains’ height to shame, has been missing for 4 days now. The desire to mount K2 may or may not have claimed their lives but we’re hoping for a miracle.

What Is K2?

K2 is the world’s second-highest peak, coming second only to Mount Everest. This mountain, however, has been termed as a deadly peak as it has enveloped the majority of the lives that have tried to mount it.

Here’s why it is so deadly:

1. The Height

K2 is located at 28251 ft above sea level which we can only imagine. The temperatures here can exceed even -60 Celsius! The geographical location of K2 is between Baltistan in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan and the Dafdar Township in Taxkorgan Tajik of Xinjiang, China.

2. Where Does The Climb Start?

The climb to reach K2 starts from the Pakistan region which is why most foreign mountaineers come to Pakistan first. Its base camp, from where the climb begins, starts from a height of 16896ft which speaks for itself!

3. The Neighbours Are Just As Daunting

Interestingly or horrifyingly, K2 is surrounded by five of the world’s 17 highest mountains as well. The peak is nestled amongst other humongous ones which makes it all the more terrifying.

k2 savage mountain

4. One of a Kind

K2 is also called the deadly mount because it is the sole 8000 m peak that has never been reached by anyone from its East Face or during wintertime. Ali Sadpara’s quote reads that he wants to mount the peak in “winters” especially because of how impossible it is. Being situated towards the north, it is more prone to unbearably severe winters.

5. 25% Death Rate

It was George Bell who actually named the peak the “savage mountain”. George Bell was a climber on the 1953 American Expedition who almost slipped from the climb. It is a generally held belief that out of every four mountaineers who climb the mountain, one person dies. Mount Everest’s death rate stands at just 4%.

6. Previously Failed Expeditions

Till date, K2 has never been climbed in winter and after the tragedy that we are only waiting for to be confirmed, it still has not been. The expeditions in 2019 that started with this motive were also unsuccessful.

Danyal Zafar’s Video Featuring Alizey Shah Goes Viral

Danyal Zafar, aka Danny Z, has made quite a reputation as a prankster through his Instagram. See how he takes it to the next level with Alizey Shah!

The Best Prank

How many times have you hidden behind a door waiting for someone to come out so you can boo them? For us, it has to be way too many times, and it doesn’t always end in the best way. Such is the case with Danyal Zafar and Alizey Shah on the set of their latest collaboration.

The latest video Danyal Zafar has posted shows the up-and-coming artist hiding outside while Alizey Shah is inside. As soon as she comes out, he boo’ed her loudly, and lo and behold; the reaction was worth it. Alizey Shah lets out a scream, which only becomes a reason for Danny Z to laugh even more.

Friendly Banter?

Danyal Zafar and Alizey Shah are the latest feature of new talent this industry has to offer. The young stars were engaging in friendly banter on a new Ramzan play HUM TV is recording.

The yet to be titled Ramzan show is a Momina Duraid production, and Saifee Hassan directs it with production by Umer Mukhtar. The play has been pegged to be lighthearted drama, just like Hum TV’s usual Ramazan special affairs like Suno Chanda! The drama also stars Javeria Abbasi, Aamir Qureshi, and Komal Rizvi, so it seems like we are all in for a treat.

Shooting for the show has already begun – as we can see- and will go on air in April with the beginning of Ramzan.

Is It Appropriate?

While the act itself was pretty harmless, it’s Alizey Shah’s reaction that is being deemed inappropriate by their fans. The hitting at the end, even though it might be just jokingly, does not set a good precedent for professional relations. 

Netizens Reactions

The netizens were amused as well as surprised by the same video! The prank is hilarious, and we can not doubt that— this prank always gets the best of us. Naturally, you can find a multitude of laugh reactions in the comments below. It was cute!

However, many people are raising eyebrows at the situation. Some are expressing their reservations about the act itself, while others are just confused. Does it look forced, or does it just look inappropriate? Here are some of the reactions you need to see:

Shehzad Roy
Image Source: Dawn

Shehzad Roy is known to be someone whose songs we all have seen or heard since our childhood. His songs are humorous and involve social commentary regarding social issues while taking a more satirical rather than serious approach.

Image Source: SAMAA News

His Latest Song Featuring Modi And Abhinandan:

Shehzad Roy is known to be someone who sings timeless songs, and his music videos are always relevant. Even though his songs have discussed domestic issues and political scenarios in the past, his latest song aims at Indian Prime Minister Modi, who faces global criticism for his policies and reactions against the Indian farmers.

Shehzad Roy revealed a snippet from the song’s music video while sharing the link of the full video link from his Youtube.

At one point in the music video titled, “Kon Kiska Aadmi Hai,” Shehzad Roy is commenting on those who are working on creating divisions while also at one end using Modi and Abhinandan (who are played by some actors) while referring to the infamous incident of Pakistan Army shooting down his aircraft and served him tea.

Watch the full music video below:

Fans React To The Comeback Made By Shehzad Roy

Soon after the song was released, Twitteratis celebrated the comeback of Shehzad Roy, who had been absent for a brief period of time from the Pakistani music scene.

While someone pointed out how the guitars were not plugged in the music video.

Shehzad Roy, even though he was not releasing songs for quite some time. He was still working off the spotlight for Pakistan’s welfare and for specific social issues that he considers dear to him. He was also appointed as the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador back in 2017.

Shehzad Roy’s song “Laga Reh” was a massive hit for providing a unique insight into Pakistan’s political scene. Even though the song was released more than a decade ago, it is still an accurate commentary and description of Pakistan’s ethical and political landscape.

Shehzad Roy and his songs hold a dear memory in every millennial’s heart. When the local music industry was thriving, Shehzad Roy, Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar were the front-line artists who were known to represent the true essence of Pakistani music in the 2000s. 

Let’s hope the Pakistani music industry returns to its days of glory and starts coming up with genuine content like it used to.

What do you think about Shehzad Roy’s comeback? Let us know in the comments below.

Pakistan Soon To Utilize Waste To Generate Energy

Back when we were enrolled in schools and colleges, we used to study that Pakistan has to exports waste because there is just too much of it. And the countries importing it would employ it in various uses. But now, it seems that instead of exporting it at minimal rates, we have realized that we can make better use of it.

FPCCI on Waste Utilization

The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) president has hinted that the concept of generating energy through waste will soon be introduced in Pakistan. Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo also said that all the associated ministries would be taught about this technology was this to be employed. This happened during the meeting with the delegation of the Pakistan Plastic Manufacturers Association on Tuesday. He mentioned how Pakistan was getting more used to the idea of waste recycling and Chinese innovation.

Moreover, he said that Pakistan should delve into non-traditional goods now because “Pakistan’s exports are concentrated in only a few products and a handful of markets.”

Image Source: Wikipedia

FPCCI – the rest of the meeting

FPCCI also stated that this also means that rules and regulations of doing business need to ease up because they directly affect the country’s exports. Meanwhile, the Pakistan Plastic Manufacturers Association delegation added that they have been very active in introducing Pakistan’s plastic internationally. And this contribution is important for the economic development of Pakistan.

Currently, due to taxation by the Federal Board of Revenue and Sindh Revenue Board leads to double taxation on the industry. And this negatively affects the revenues. Moreover, it’s not just the problems in doing business internationally but also doing business with different Pakistan cities.

So the meeting ended with hoping to ease up the business operations and the introduction of energy generation from waste. Hopefully, this will lead to better utilization of wastes. And our government and the people, both, will get more invested in waste disposal.

Hyundai Denies With Apple

The automobile industry often faces a wide variety of encounters. Sometimes, they are faced with problems from the real world, otherwise, they are faced with virtual issues. When the self-driving car designs were first being made, it became quite a hassle to understand how it worked. It was considered near impossible to build a vehicle that thinks on its own and requires no help from the driver.

However, seeing the rate at which Tesla is progressing with its technology, it does not seem entirely impossible now. What remains is to achieve full autonomy of the vehicle, which is said to take some time. Between everyone dipping into the automotive industry, Apple has done the same too. Where there were rumors of an Apple car in development, there is an expected release date of it too. However, Hyundai has refused their involvement in it!

Hyundai Era:

Hyundai has always been a brand known for its Robust quality. They are one of the best-known in the industry. They gain such a reaction from the audience that people go ‘Oh?’ when they hear the company’s name. They have vehicles so widespread that a lot of cabs in the city of Karachi have been Hyundai. This shows precisely how diverse of an area they operate in.

Of course, it is understandable that no one wants their name associated with any form of news that is not about them. Sometimes, rumors get flown here and there about different things. Similarly, it was once stated that Hyundai is in a partnership with Apple over the new car Development.

Plain Denial:

However, the recent news states that they have said this news to be untrue. Although they have said that they are in partnership with multiple firms over autonomous driving, they denied the one with Apple. Not just Hyundai, but KIA is also one of the allegedly in partnership with Apple.

They, too, have said the same thing about multiple firm partnerships but nothing specific to Apple. This is an exciting development because it shows a sense of uncertainty on the playing field. While people first did think these two brands were involved with the Apple car, it now seems the exact opposite of it.

Various Plays At Work:

We have yet to see how this piece of news unfolds over the course of the year. However, their denial has put another light shadow over the Apple car Development. Now, again, a lot of people are not sure how the company intends to progress in its automotive area. The Apple car may just be one of the most impressive products that the world ever sees. With the technology that Apple is incorporating in its devices, maybe it replicates that same one in the car.

Maybe they have something even better, in-store, planned for the car. We hope there is a positive development because a whole sea of audience wish to see the car unveiled. Tesla is not the only one involved in autonomous driving.

Pantene Hum Bridal Couture Week has been all talks after Ali Xeeshan’s statement on Dowry in collaboration with UN Women. He had used a fashion show earlier to make a statement on child marriages as well by teaming up with Ali Rez. But there was something else noted at the Couture Week, and it was plagiarism! Haris Shakeel was accused of it.

Haris Shakeel and his Ghazal

The designer exhibited his collection ‘Ghazal’ at the Couture Week 2021. One of his dresses were worn by Sunita Marshall. It was a pretty dress, and well, the model knows how to carry a dress well too. The designer, Farah Talib Aziz, took to Instagram that this dress is not really an original.

Farah Talib Aziz With her Kalidar Angarkha

Farah Talib Aziz had posted a picture of her dress. Ayeza Khan had modeled for her back in 2019. It was the orchid purple that literally did embody luxury at its finest. She had made use of heritage gota, sheesha, and aari work in her kalidaar angarkha! ⁠

The designer accusing Shakeel of plagiarism, comments on Instagram, telling Haris Shakeel to be more original instead of ‘constantly’ copying her works.

Haris Shakeel is also one of the renowned designers in the country. He is based in Karachi and is categorized as one of the mid-range designers, although in this context, mid-range is relative considering not everyone can afford him either. But yes, compared to Farah Talib Aziz, he could be categorized as that.

For customers who love to showcase the designer’s name at their wedding, it may come as a shock if their FTA dress is called to have been bought from Haris Shakeel. Another designer, Zaheer Abbas, has also accused Haris Shakeel of such an act. He even compared the designer to Tariq Road and Ghausia Market Stores, saying he considers Haris to be at the same level. Now there is nothing wrong with buying from these markets, but it must be quite a demeaning comment within the designer fraternity.

Haris Shakeel however, has denied the accusation saying that the only thing similar between the two dresses is the color.

Dogecoin Cryptocurrency Is Skyrocketing After Elon Musk’s Tweet

Image Source: Twitter

The month of January 2021 passed by us really quickly and had many eventful days. With WhatsApp’s privacy policy fiasco along with Gamestop’s price increasing after a group of Redditors decided to mess with the billionaires, it seems as if the year 2021 is not short of surprises.

DogeCoin’s Price Increasing Enormously Courtesy Elon Musk?

Now, as of today, Dogecoin, which refers to itself as the “fun and friendly internet currency” by its founders, has gained a lot of attention in the past because it was started as a joke and is named after a viral meme and has doge as its mascot or front-face.

Elon Musk, who is known as one of the prominent innovators of the 21st Century and is one of the well-reputed meme-lords often participating in the internet’s sub-cultures, has also voiced his support for cryptocurrency, Dogecoin.

A Series Of Tweets Inspired By Memes (And Reddit, Ofcourse):

The entrepreneur, investor, and billionaire responsible for a series of ventures including PayPal, Space X, Tesla, and several others, Elon tweeted a series of tweets in support of the cryptocurrency that has apparently led to a surge in its price.

Tesla Investing $1.5 Billion In Bitcoin Leading To A 21% Increase

Elon Musk’s company Tesla which has been credited for bringing electric vehicles to the mainstream, invested $1.5 Billion, which has led to the cryptocurrency reaching the price of $47000. The company has been credited for this 21% surge in the price of the cryptocurrency.

American rapper Snoop Dogg also weighed in on the market manipulation and commentary by Musk that the common people have praised as it was something that was only confined to billionaires in the past. Snoop Dogg posted a picture of Doge, which is probably in support of the cryptocurrency named after a meme.

Why Is This Moment Iconic And Special?

This has become massive news because never in the history of stock markets and cryptocurrency have we seen market manipulation of this sort. This was confined to billionaires, and they were the ones to benefit from it; however, this is the first time common people have been able to benefit from the system that has been rigged against them.

Though we are curious to see what the future holds for the cryptocurrency and the stock market, let’s hope the working class makes the most out of it to turn their lives around.

Privacy Policy: Google Has A Good News For Its Users

Google

[Update]: Going on to a website, and it asks you if you are okay with cookies. It does ease up your life a little because then you start getting personalized ads. But that means your privacy is being compromised. To make sure you see what you want, they have to track your location, analyze your preferences, your dislikes, among other things. Sometimes it gets too much, and overt use leads to people thinking their privacy is being invaded. But what if we were to tell you that that’s not the case anymore because Google is doing something new?

Well, you will still get personalized ads because, let’s be honest, that’s how businesses will keep running. But now, they won’t be tracking the user. The process with which they will do this is called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). Google product manager Chetna Bindra, when talking about it, said:

“This approach effectively hides individuals ‘in the crowd’ and uses on-device processing to keep a person’s web history private on the browser.”

The internet giant will start testing it in collaboration with advertisers later this year, where the system is said to generate a replacement signal for third party cookies. This way, they will be able to safeguard their users’ data.



The “all-new” Gmail is available to the more than four million businesses that pay for G Suite services.

People who use the email service personally for free can opt-in by choosing settings, vice president of product management David Thacker said in a blog post.

Revamped Gmail has “a brand new look on the web, advanced security features, new applications of Google’s artificial intelligence and even more integrations with other G Suite apps,” according to Thacker.

A confidential mode added to Gmail promises to let people sending messages set expiration dates and block them from being forwarded, copied, downloaded, or printed.

Messages can be revoked after being sent, Thacker said.

Senders of mail can also require that a code delivered by text message be entered before an email can be viewed in an added security layer.

“Because you can require additional authentication via text message to view an email, it’s also possible to protect data even if a recipient’s email account has been hijacked while the message is active,” Thacker said.

The confidential mode will begin to roll out to personal Gmail users and a limited number of G Suite customers in the coming weeks, according to Google.

Artificial intelligence is being put to work in new Gmail features, including “nudging” people to tend to neglected messages and automated reply suggestions along the lines of those added to a mobile version of the email service last year.

“Gmail can also recommend when to unsubscribe from mailing lists,” Thacker said.

“Using intelligence, unsubscribe suggestions appear based on cues like how many emails you get from a sender and how many of them you actually read.”

Google and rival technology titans such as Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft have followed people into the internet cloud with services, digital content, and software hosted online at data centers but accessed from the gamut of devices.
