ROZEE.PK – Pakistan’s # 1 job website won brand of the year award 2009. The award was presented by Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, prime minister of Pakistan on 7th May, 2010 at  governor house Karachi.

CEO Naseeb Networks Monis Rahman said in a statement

ROZEE.PK wins Brand of the Year Award, becoming first brand with $0 ad budget to win in history.

ROZEE.PK competed along side the most well known brands in the country including Nestle, Unilever, Zong, Mobilink, Bank Alfalah, Engro and many others. It is indeed noteworthy that ROZEE.PK is the first company in history to win this award with zero rupee advertising budget. It is also worth mentioning that ROZEE.PK is among the very few companies to receive an A++ survey ranking and one of the only IT companies to win.

I would like to congratulate the whole team of ROZEE.PK for achieving this great milestone.

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?

The federal or feudal government of Pakistan imposed governor rule for two months in the largest province of Punjab effective immediately. This was imposed after the court decision of Sharif Brothers (Nawaz Sharif & Shehbaz Sharif) disqualification.

According to the Geo News and Express News, President of Pakistan, Asif Zardari passed this rule on advice of Prime Minister. I think that’s very interesting that Zardari is taking advice from Gillani (Yeh kub or kaisay huwa).

According to my opinion, this should not happen to the govt of Punjab as Shehbaz Sharif and his cabinet was working very hard to help people of Punjab as well as all Pakistanis to build better Pakistan.

So, what is your opinion about this act of Zardari?

During the browsing, I found and interesting website and thought to share it with the readers. Freerice.com is a website where; for each word that you get right answer, they’ll donate 20 grains of rice through the United Nations World Food Program to the hungry people.You get to feed the hungry people free of cost along with the improvements in your vocabulary. After visiting the site I have committed myself to get at least 2000 grains daily. 2000 grains might not be a good number for a hungry person but at least it makes the difference.

Basically freerice.com has two goals:

• Engage people in playing a simple game of English vocabulary to everyone for free.
• Help the end world hunger by providing free rice to hungry people.

I think they are working for a very good cause and we should participate in this social cause. You can spend all your free or spare time on this site.

To get maximum grains, I recommend purposely failing the first 4 words while answering the correct meaning. This puts your level of difficulty at zero, so the first lot of words you get are terribly easy, so you won’t have to hesitate to get the right answer.

So, What are you waiting for? Go and send you FREE donations!

I had been planning to buy a wireless DSL Router for last few weeks and after doing some online research (yes I do research) about different DSL routers, I finalized the LINKSYS. I was about to buy the linksys wireless DSL router but my friend and colleague Abbas Ahmed (Network Manager) suggested me to buy the TP-LINK which is very cost effective and its performance is much better than linksys.

Moreover the sales guy at TP-LINK distribution office told us some technical specifications and motivated us to buy the TP-LINK.

Why I bought TP-LINK TD-W8920G Router

1. All-in-one combo box with WiFi, ADSL2 Router and 4 ports for LAN
2. 108M for Rs.3000 While LinkSys’s 54M was more than Rs.4500
3. It is really very cheap, I bought this for only Rs. 3000 (USD 48)
4. It is “Made in China”

I took it and configured it at my home and I was amazed that it’s setup is pretty much simple that any novice can install and configure it very easily.

TD-W8920G comes with the following assessories

• One TD-W8920G 108M Wireless ADSL2+ Router
• One DC power Adapter for TD-W8920G 108M Wireless ADSL2+ Router
• Quick Installation Guide
• One RJ45 cable
• Two RJ11 cables
• One ADSL splitter
• One Resource CD for TD-W8920G 108M Wireless ADSL2+ Router, including:
• This User Guide and other Helpful Information

The router has eXtended Range™ WLAN transmission technology so that transmission distance is 2-3 times of traditional IEEE 802.11g/b solutions. It is compatible with all IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products. In addition, it also adopts 108M Super G™ WLAN Transmission Technology. I did a thorough test on its extended range with my WLAN enabled Nokia N81-8GB and its extended range is awesome. It’s range varies from 100 – 250 feet depending upon the number of things such as the concrete walls and WAPDA power supply polls etc. Moreover you can maximize the strength of WiFi signals with some simple techniques

Only one thing which disappointed me are its LEDS located at front panel of the router. The ADSL LED keeps blinking while I am connected to internet which creates confusion because constantly blinking LEDS means a sign of some problem in connecting to the ISP.

Pakistani former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto passed away (Inna Lilla he Wa Inna Elehay Rajioon). I am terribly hurt and shocked by this news.

The explosion occurred close to an entrance gate of the park in Rawalpindi where Ms Bhutto had been speaking. PPP spokesman Farhatullah Babar initially said that Ms Bhutto was safe. But later he told the BBC that Ms Bhutto had died.

Another member of the PPP, Wasif Ali Khan, told the Associated Press news agency from the Rawalpindi General Hospital: “At 6:16 pm (1316 GMT) she expired.”

MSNBC: “Bhutto’s supporters at the hospital began chanting “Dog, Musharraf, dog…” Some of them smashed the glass door at the main entrance of the emergency unit, others burst into tears.”

Reuters: “Police said a suicide bomber fired shots at Bhutto as she was leaving the rally venue in a park before blowing himself up. ‘The man first fired at Bhutto’s vehicle. She ducked and then he blew himself up,’ said police officer Mohammad Shahid.”

CNN: Media reports quote her husband saying she suffered a bullet wound to the neck in the attack.

Sky News: The country’s upcoming January elections would “most likely be postponed or cancelled” because of the attack.

Bloomberg: Earlier, at least four supporters of Pakistan’s former premier Nawaz Sharif were killed and another 12 wounded in the capital, Islamabad, when gunshots were fired on an election rally (Bloomberg)
