ROZEE.PK has come up with a brilliant idea of advertising that has been successful gaining attention of the local public who are still unaware of the company. ROZEE.PK has acquired a rickshaw (a form of transport in Pakistan) and named it Basanti. The rickshaw runs on CNG and has a GPS tracking system that is used to track its location. Glorified with Rozee.pk‘s pictures on it, the rickshaw is red in color and gives a smooth, comfortable ride. It has a message written in Urdu “Jiddi rozee nahin – odha kuch nahin”, claiming “One who does not have a job does not have anything”.

Google and YouTube Delegates in Pakistan

Shafiq Rehman — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 17:48:59 +0000

Pakistan is on the threshold of technology and though it has only 10% technology penetration, there is a strong platform for growth and investments. This is what Google and YouTube delegates observed about the technology scene in Pakistan when they came here for the International Youth Conference. According to the delegates, the 62% of Pakistani youth are a huge asset for the nation if there is a proper channel to guide them for utilizing technology to benefit their own future as well as that of the nation.
The average Pakistani spends just $3/month on mobile communication and around $13/month on broadband facilities. This shows that there is a potential for technological growth in Pakistan, as the local media industry is enhancing the use of online sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to promote as well as run businesses. The youth here now watches shows/dramas/music on YouTube rather than sitting and watching on the TV screen.

The Pakistani media is booming, within just 8 years of media freedom in Pakistan. Private channels are numerous and these channels are integrating the use of technology with their service and business strategies. There is an increasing rate of data download and uploads and most importantly the growth of freelancers who are working endlessly on outsourcing projects. Online job providers such as Elance and Freelancer.com have Pakistanis as amongst their highest subscribers and job providers.

The Google delegates did not only superficially analyze Pakistan’s technological development, but also conducted interviews with ministers and leaders to discuss about the future of Pakistan’s technological development.

Mobilink Edge and GPRS settings for Blackberry Handsets

Shafiq Rehman — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 11:36:47 +0000

I had been using Mobilink Blackberry services for last two years and paying to Mobilink for the BIS (Blackberry Internet Services) for just push email since the blockage of Facebook by the Lahore High Court due to blasphemous page on Facebook. So, I decided to unsubscribe from the blackberry services to save some money and activated GPRS. I am now using GPRS/Edge on my Blackberry Curve and enjoying all the services

Mobilink GPRS Settings for Your BlackBerry

Goto Setup -> Advanced Options -> TCP

Add the following details

APN: connect.mobilinkworld.com
User: mobilink
Password: mobilink

restart your blackberry mobile and enjoy the browsing services. I experienced the following applications run smoothly: Gmail, Google Sync, Google Latutude, Web Browsing. Facebook and GTalk simply don’t work on my blackberry curve.

Are you paying for BIS (blackberry internet services) to Mobilink and getting just push email and blackberry messenger? If yes, you should immediately turn off the blackberry services and shift to GPRS or Edge data services offered by Mobilink.

Google Is The Only Hope for US People Regarding Broadband Internet

saleem — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:17:05 +0000

For the bright future of broadband internet facilities in the USA, the FCC has established the National Broadband plan but we are screwed. The Federal Communications Commission announced National Broadband Plan last week, their aim is to provide universal, affordable 100 megabits per second broadband internet service to 100 million households at reasonable rates by 2020. No doubt they have made serious efforts including very important tasks towards opening space in the broadcast spectrum but they still have not access the problem creating source .You know very well that without increasing competition, broadband service in the United States will flop and throw USA behind the developed countries.

The main fault of FCC plan is lack of competition because without healthy competition, it is very difficult to push down prices. The plan is made up to understand the necessities of only 15 percent of homes who will have a choice to choose service provider and the remaining 85 percent of homes have no choice at all .

The U.S.A has the highest broadband prices among advanced nations, while in other countries like Japan and France the prices of broadband internet services are very low. Again, it is the question of competition . So why they are going to impose such a fool plan. The answer is because the U.S. government has no backbone and ruins its own ideas.

The only hope of USA peoples is Google which is a upcoming internet giant. Google wants to put 1 gigabit-per-second connections in people’s homes in near future. Google is taking initiative on a very small scale (500,000 homes vs. 100 million) but if the initial response is positive, Google will become a much bigger player in this space than they forecast right now.

If Google, one of the largest companies in this country, only believes they can afford to hook up 50,000 to 500,000 homes with their plan, how is any other company expected to compete with the incumbent players?

Google Launches Smart Rescheduler Calendar

saleem — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 18:12:02 +0000

To schedule company meetings is a very tough task now a days. It is very hard to manage the time slot for all the people who have to attend the meeting. Google has launched a new Google Calendar Labs for this problem. This smart Calendar is called the Smart Rescheduler that brings some search smarts to the problem. The Product Manager Of Google Calendar Cyrus Mistry says, all the Google apps customers got it yesterday night. We think it is just like we are giving every employee their own administrative assistant.

The person who wants to schedule the meeting , he just has to enter the names of the participants , duration of the meeting and the date of the meeting when it has to held. The smart rescheduler then starts its work it goes out and looks at every one calendar to see when he is free then it takes into account different time zones and other commitments on their calendars (in order for this to work, all the meeting attendees must share their calendars with Google Calendar).

It is possible that at a point when it starts process someone has a conflict. At this point the Rescheduler looks at all the soft constraints and actually ranks the best meeting times. Different attendees can have different priorities so that the meeting is set around according to their schedule. Firstly, soft constraints are taken into account like partial schedule overlaps, times blocked with no other attendees, meetings where someone’s been invited but hasn’t yet accepted or meetings organized by that person. These factors often indicate a schedule that can be altered.
