Schwarzenegger swears and gives a hidden finger to the California legislature
I think if Freud talked about implicit dialog in every sentence and context he had never seen what Arnold Schwarzenegger was or could be responsible for.

Fun-e-Tameer, this is the word the great Mughals used for architecture. The key word is not ” tameer” (to build or construct) but its “Fun” which means art . The great Mughals like every thing else in their life saw building as a source of worldly pleasure. This is the reason why they have built structures which are timeless and even two hundred years after their decline they still are a source of great beauty even in their dilapidated state.

Microsoft Windows 7 to be launched tonight
Windows Vista was more or less a game long lost. Microsoft could not achieve the same sales or margins as it did from XP, which is still going strong and above par the much more latest Windows Vista. The strong supporters of Windows XP have long waited for Windows 7 as it promised a revolutionary automatic adjusting system that would allow it to run at better speeds with lower spec Computers.
Windows 7
In 9 hrs Windows 7 will be launched on the shelves and for download through out the world. I have to visit a launch party for windows 7 tomorrow that is being held by Microsoft in Karachi. Till then we have put up the countdown on the website for your excitement. Lets keep our fingers crossed that windows 7 isn’t a failure like Vista and does not bring with it Security flaws like snow leopard which destroyed its long standing tradition of finesse.
There have been news that IBM, Google and Apple may step into Mainstream OS war soon, Microsoft needs to strap up its seat belt and get ready for the action. Again this will require them to work hard on each and every security update and performance update that they are bringing or will bring through the service packs in the coming Windows as It is too late to keep windows XP running for more.

From the day Telenor acquired Tameer Bank, every one knew that no matter what happens some kind of Mobile Financial Services will step into the block. The expected service has stepped in the market after a viral teaser campaign in which you had to guess what EP is. After a lot of guessing and excitement on the social media Telenor lauched the bomb shell as it meant Easy Paisa, I didnt win the IPOD i hope u did.
Similiar services are being offered by other telcoms but this one may be the killer as it is backed by a real bank i.e. a real financial services provider (Tameer Bank).
