In Technology Unblock Youtube In Pakistan
  #93 New 02-24-2008 10:23 PM
Well yes, PTA has struck again and this time YouTube comes under it's axe. It's such a shame that they have to block the entire websites just because of a few videos that don't do well with their code of ethics. My personal view to follow after these methods that will help you access and watch YouTube videos in Pakistan.

EDIT: Seems like Youtube has been unblocked by the PIE and I can access it.

Featured Entry In Technology Free themes for your Windows XP
  #83 You are subscribed to this entry  New 11-06-2007 11:25 PM
I have heard and tried a lot of so-called Windows XP customizations, packs, modifications, and hacks during my time on this OS but none really left a positive impression on me. It always was a bargain between the bells & whistles and the speed of my OS, in this case, Microsofts' Windows XP. Things turned out to be different when my cousin first told me about a new website called crystalXP.net. I was of course skeptical a ...More Read More

In Technology The PTCL DSL Experience: Feel the difference!
  #81 You are subscribed to this entry  New 11-02-2007 03:22 AM
I applied for a 256K DSL connection that comes with free modem, unlimited bandwidth for three months (with one year contract) and installation from PTCL's 1236 line. So far I haven't been able to get my connection installed despite all those phone calls to 1236, local exchange, PTCL's General Manager FTR region, and of course, their DSL department. The funny thing is that the operators at 17, PTCL's help line don't have no clue of the word DSL. The girls at 1236 (Maha, Sana, Aasiya) have been n ...More Read More

Featured Entry In Technology Way to go, PTCL!
  #80 You are subscribed to this entry  New 10-20-2007 03:43 AM
The website of PTCL (Pakistan telecommunication company limited), like all official websites in Pakistan, is being run by idiots. Considering that it's the Godfather of telecommunication in Pakistan, acts such as plagiarism are pathetic at best. Recently they introduced a so-called 2-in-1 phone and internet service that allows it's customers to use internet without having to buy internet cards or such from rest of the ISPs in the country. Obviously, like other services that PTCL provides, is co ...More Read More

In Technology All things Microsoft
  #78 You are subscribed to this entry  New 10-07-2007 11:05 PM
I can't seem to assimilate these cheap stunts performed by Microsoft just so they could pull the market share (albeit: beat Apple) for it's Zune Mp3 Players. Having failed to impress the public already with everything they did, do, or plan to, they've decided to brag about Zune. Surprise surprise, they're doing it on msnbc.msn.com. With Microsoft trying to belittle Apple's iPod on it's msnbc portal, It's SSP (shameless self promotion) at best. The funny thing is that I've never heard of this mu ...More Read More

In Technology The folklore of web directories
  #69 New 07-28-2007 12:16 AM
This is pretty much my first post on SEO here so make sure that you can digest it.


I have been doing a lot of SEO reading lately because I have got nothing better (or worse, for that matter) to do. Turns out that Rand Fishkin, the owner of SEOMOZ, created quite of a controversy in the SEO world by opening fire on web directories. As per Fishkin:

Featured Entry In Technology Emarkaz Sucks - Emarkaz.com Stinks : Beware!
  #61 You are subscribed to this entry  New 05-29-2007 03:03 AM
Well I went on to shop for some appliances from emarkaz.com only to find out that they were nothing but scammers! I am so glad that they rejected my order and refunded my money back because they don't accept orders from a non-us account even though their service(s) are centred around Pakistani citizens.

I did a little bit of price research in the market and found out that their products were extremely over priced (30%-55% difference) on every item. Here's an excrept from the tamasha blog tha ...More Read More

In Technology Seriously Cool USB Gadgets
  #55 You are subscribed to this entry  New 04-29-2007 04:12 PM
If you're under the impression that the only thing your USB port can do is to animate your cursor or maybe let you stroke a few keys; you're wrong. I came across these seriously cool gadgets while surfing for creative inspire 4:1 speakers.

First on the list is this cool USB beverage chiller that does exactly what it's name says.
