Meet the flying furies of the Pakistan Air Force

“We lock onto each other’s planes in the air and fake a battle, until one of us proclaims ‘I’m dead,’” says the 24-year-old Flying Officer, Ayesha Omar Farooq.

She is one of the many female pilots who now bolster the ranks of the Pakistan Air Force. When she takes off from the tarmac, the responsibility of flying a multi-million dollar fighter is hers and hers alone. Gone are the days when women in the military were only restricted to the fields of medicine and engineering. With the passage of time, women in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) have branched into different units and today, they are even inducted as frontline Fighter Pilots. Dressed in crisp uniforms with embellished stars on their shoulders and smiles on their faces, a group of female officers gather at the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to talk about their experiences. They are the conquerors of the skies, and the pride they take in their positions and achievements is visible in their demeanour. Their faces, radiant with courage and confidence break into smiles and laughter effortlessly. It is easy to forget that, in order to get to this much sought-after position, each and every one of them has had to put in countless hours of hard work and have had to make many sacrifices.

For these pilots, the sky is not the limit. When it comes to flying fighter jets, the higher you soar, the greater are the heights that you discover. It is only when you push both yourself and your aircraft to its limits that you discover what you are capable of. 23-year-old Flying Officer Anam Faiq, was the first in her family to join the military. As a little girl, she would attend the annual parades with her father on the 23^rd of March in Islamabad. “I was so fascinated to see those planes soaring high. I always thought to myself that one day I will also fly a plane.” Back then, her image of pilots was that of tall, dashing and muscular men. “But of course that’s not the case anymore,” she says with a laugh. Anam has now spent six years in the air force and is now in charge of her own F-7 fighter plane.

Green car: The juice on hybrids in Pakistan

If you lived near the Lahore airport and had to drive to Mall road regularly, you’d be open to buying a car whose fuel cost you less. Amir Riaz has that 50km commute, and he’s quite frank about his decision to keep a hybrid car. “I have a [regular car] too,” he told The Express Tribune. “But I prefer taking my [hybrid]. It is just sensible. It consumes one-fourth of the fuel.”

The hybrid guzzles less gas because it uses a combination of petrol and electric power (in the form of a battery). Pakwheels CEO Raza Saeed says over 90% of the hybrids sold on their website are the Toyota Prius manufactured in Japan. Other choices include the Insight and Reborn by Honda or the Civic hybrid. Some high-end names recently introduced to Pakistan are the Porsche hybrid and the BMW 7-series.

While prices may vary depending on the model of the used car, something like the Toyota Prius will set you back 1.4m rupees. If you’ve got the cash to spare you could consider what Porsche, Mercedes and BMW have to offer at a hefty price tag of Rs13.5m. Porsche Pakistan CEO Abuzar Bukhari brought in the first luxury hybrid, the Cayenne, which gives 13.75 kilometres a litre. Interestingly enough, this is an SUV giving you better road mileage than a much smaller non-hybrid 1300cc or 1000cc car. “Pakistanis should not be limited to […] for hybrids,” he argues while naming two companies. “We Pakistanis deserve better, why buy used cars from other countries?”

Imports are the most obvious option, though, especially since no one is making them locally. These hybrids, many from Japan and the UK, are being brought over the Afghan border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. However, the majority of them are arriving at Port Qasim in Karachi. About two out of 10,000 used cars reaching Karachi shores each month are hybrids.

iOS 6 Jailbreak Could Be Broken With iOS 6.1.3 Update

The other day we heard that Apple has released iOS 6.1.3 Beta 2 to developers, the update is designed to fix the passcode bug found in iOS 6, and now it would appear that the update may actually break the evasi0n iOS 6 jailbreak.

The iOS 6.1.3 Beta 2 which was recently released to developers apparently patches one of the five exploits that were used in the iOS 6 Jailbreak, the exploit was a time zone bug.

iOS 6 Jailbreak

Apparently the evasi0n iOS 6 jailbreak needs all five exploits for the jailbreak to work, so it looks like the iOS 6.1.3 software update to break the evasi0n jailbreak, unless the team behind the software can find another option before iOS 6.1.3 is released.

There are no details as yet on exactly when Apple will release the final version of iOS 6.1.3, although considering that it fixes the passcode exploit that could give anyone access to your iPhone we suspect it will be sooner than later.

Although previously committed to making tablets for only Windows and the unpopular WebOS, HP has finally decided to fall into the mainstream by announcing its first Android tablet, the Slate 7. Its a 7 inch tablet which costs just $170 and offers a dual-core CPU and Beats Audio. Here are the specifications of the tablet:

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
7 inch display with resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels

1GB RAM with 8GB expandable storage
3mp HD rear-camera
VGA secondary camera
Bluetooth 2.1, microUSB 2.0, Wifi
Available in Black, Silver and Red

To keep the prices down, the struggling manufacturer has skimped out on some features but has still offered a decent design.

ZTE Shows off its Flagship: Grand S

Its great to see the once small manufacturers suddenly coming to spotlight at big events such as MWC and ZTE is among those which stood out in particular.

Other than showing several smartphones including the one running on the new Firefox OS, ZTE also showed its next flagship smartphone once again, the Grand S. The flagship puts ZTE in the same league as its competitors, if not ahead of them.
Here are the specs of the phone:

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
5 inch display with 1080 x 1920 Full HD resolution
4G LTE support
6.9mm thick
1.7 GHz quad-core processor

Available in 6 colors

Xiaomi MI-2 is one of the best overall packages shown off at the CES. Its an Android Jelly Bean running smartphone with a 4.3 inch screen and still costs a very affordable $313.
Here are the specs:

Skinned Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
4.3 inch display with resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels
10.2mm thick
Weight: 145g
1.5Ghz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor

There’s a problem though. No its not that its maker is not capable. The problem that lies here is that finding this phone in the market will be a painstaking job. You might be able to find it online but buying the phone in a store will be next to impossible.

New Toyota Corolla expected to launch in 2014 in Pakistan -

We first reported that Indus Motors’ is working on towards assembling Toyota Fortuner locally and it is expected to launch in the first week of March 2013.

Although locally assembled Toyota Hilux was significantly cheaper then the imported one, however those who had the opportunity to drive both of the vehicles, imported and locally built were quite disappointed in the locally assembled one.

Indus Motors have been selling the Fortuner through importing for a little while now so the same comparison against locally built and imported one shall be made and given the quality reputation of local cars, we’ll not be the one to draw the swords first.

But in between the launch speculations and press releases, The Nation reports that Indus Motors is injecting more capital in its plant during the period of 2013-14 which will be 6 billion Pakistani Rupees and is mainly for the new model of Toyota Corolla expected next year.

i-mate reportedly working on an Intel-based, Windows 8 handset

The Dubai-based manufacturer i-mate might be planning a grand return to the smartphone scene after several years in the doldrums. According to a recent report, the company, which made a name for itself by selling HTC-made, Windows Mobile devices in the middle of last decade, is set to unveil an Intel Clover Trail based smartphone, which will boot Windows 8 Pro, not Windows Phone 8.

The smartphone will carry the name i-mate Intelegent. It is reportedly set to pack 2GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 4.7" display of unknown resolution. The most important trick up the i-mate Intelegent's sleeve will be the ability to offer full Windows 8 experience via an optional docking system. The latter will offer a 23" touch-enabled display, keyboard, mouse, and a wireless tablet with 10" 1080p display.

The price of the smartphone alone is said to be $750. Should you choose to go for the desktop station, prepare to fork out $1,600.

According to the CEO of i-mate, Mr. Jim Morrison, there's a factory in California ready to produce 10,000 units a week of the Intelegent. The CEO also told the Seattle Times that the i-mate Intelegent will be showcased during MWC.

This year's annual awards for the tops in the mobile industry were unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today. The awards are given to the best devices, apps, and technologies as selected by the GSM Association.

While the full list of winners is rather large and a bit obscure, we've done the hard work for you and summarized all the top apps and devices from this years' competition.

The Best Feature or Entry Level Phone goes to the Nokia Asha 305, which offers a compelling dual-SIM package at an extremely attractive price.

The Best Smartphone goes to the Samsung Galaxy S III, which is no real surprise as the device has been selling like crazy since its release. For our take on the S III,

Best Mobile Tablet goes to Google and Asus for their Nexus 7, which is still selling strong after being released last November.

Sony has revealed plans to launch a Firefox-powered device in 2014. Bob Ishida - the company's deputy CEO confirmed that Sony engineers are currently working with Firefox OS Mobile and HTML 5 evolving technologies, which show great potential.

The news broke during a Sony and Telefonica joint event, where the Spanish carrier announced that it will offer the Xperia Z Android flagship and the Xperia Tablet Z. Telefonica, together with other Sony partner networks will also be involved in the development of a Firefox phone.

What would you take for an evening's drive?

Veyron Vitesse making a stop for some fuel

Previously we heard that the Sony Xperia Z European launch will be on Thursday, February 21, but it appears French users were lucky enough to get the 5" 1080p flagship a few days in advance. Sony has unleashed the Xperia Z through its official online store in France today, asking €649 for it. The black and white versions are in stock, but there is no info on the purple one.
France is the second country to get the Sony Xperia Z, after Japan, where sales commenced on February 9. Various European operators and retailers are taking pre-orders already.
So, the Xperia Z is coming! Are you getting one? If you are still sitting on the fence you might want to check our review for some valuable information on the smartphone's real-life performance.

The iPhone 5 should be getting an update soon – the iPhone 5S probably – but what could that update be? The closer we get to launch, the more likely it is one of the parts suppliers will let something slip, like the motherboard of the new phone.
The photo was sent to iOSDoc from a “very reliable source” and it clearly shows an Apple A7 chipset – that’s the successor to the A6 in the iPhone 5 and latest iPad.

According to the source, the number of CPU cores and amount of RAM have both been doubled, meaning the A7 chipset packs a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz and 2GB of RAM. The RAM clockspeed will reportedly take a hit, though – going from LPDDR2-1066 to LPDDR-800.
The GPU will reportedly be PowerVR SGX554MP4 (quad-core) like in the iPad 4, up from SGX543MP3 (tri-core) in the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 5S will keep the 4” 640 x 1136 display – that’s not very surprising, given that changing the screen size will mean either sacrificing sharpness (if Apple keeps the resolution) or app compatibility (if the resolution is adjusted accordingly).

HTC One official photo breaks cover

An official press photo of the HTC One has leaked showcasing the phone's front panel. The source is evleaks and judging from its history of leaks, then we have every reason to believe this is the real deal.

Rather surprisingly, the HTC One get rid of the traditional three-button combo and features just back and home buttons below its display. As usual, both buttons are of the capacitive touch variety. Another interesting bit are the dual-speakers placed either side of the screen.
However, the key selling point of the smartphone remains its 4.7-inch 1080p display with a pixel density of 468ppi. Judging from the press photo the One is going to run the latest version of Sense UI (5.0), which falls in line with previous reports. Those earlier reports also suggested the HTC One is running Android 4.2 on a Qualcomm APQ8064 chipset with four 1.7GHz Krait cores and 2GB of RAM.
Yesterday, the first photo snapped using the smartphone's 13MP camera showed up on Flickr. It's yet another interesting aspect of the device, considering its using a stacked sensor with what the company calls "ultrapixels".

LG took the wraps off the freshly leaked, second generation Optimus L-Series trio of smartphones. The new devices will feature enhanced design philosophy and LG's latest software trickery. The first one of the pack to hit the shelves will be the dual-SIM version of the LG Optimus L7 II, which will become available this week in Russia.

The LG Optimus L7 II features a Qualcomm MSM8225 chipset with a 1 GHz dual-core CPU. There's 768MB of RAM and 4GB of built-in memory, which can be further expanded via microSD card slot. The display is a 4.3" IPS unit with WVGA resolution. An 8MP camera with LED flash, front-facing unit with VGA resolution, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and 2,460 mAh battery complete the highlights of the handset's spec sheet.

Apple recently released the iOS 6.1.1 software update for the iPhone 4S and now the now the developers behind the evasi0n jailbreak which was released for iOS 6.1 last week have released a new version of the jailbreak that will work with iOS 6.1.1 on the iPhone 4S.
The evasi0n jailbreak tool has been updated to version 1.3 and the team behind it confirmed that the new version of evasi0n will now work with the new version of iOS 6.1.1 on the iPhone 4S.

or people with 4S wanting to update to 6.1.1: make a backup and properly restore your device in iTunes. Do NOT make an OTA update.

ReImagined 2013 Toyota Avalon

Designed and assembled in America, the reimagined 2013 Avalon is the perfect storm of look and feel. We set out to combine next-level design with signature Avalon comfort and ease.

In Pakistan, 167000 used cars imported vs. 1000000+ local cars manufactured during last 7 years.

Nissan 2014 Versa Note

Nissan has unveiled its 2014 Versa Note at the 2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).
The new design aims to improve fuel economy through improved aerodynamics and has a drag coefficient of 0.298, achieved with the aid of Nissan's first Active Grille Shutter. The Versa Note, which uses the carmaker's global ‘V' platform, sits on a long wheelbase of 2,600mm and has short front and rear overhangs.

The wide sweeping grille curves upwards and cuts into the narrowed headlamps while the lower air intake is framed to both sides by the inset fog lamps. Two lines also feed down from the base of the A-pillar into the grille.
A strong bodyside character line originating from behind the front wheelarch rises backwards and flows into the rear lamps while a smoother line curves downwards before feeding into the rear wheelarch. At the rear combination lights feature, with the aero flares designed to enhance the aerodynamics.

In a move that marks the huge shift in interest from MPVs and minivans to SUVs, the definitive ‘mini-MPV' Renault Scenic has been rehashed and reborn as a pseudo off-roader.
The addition of unpainted bumpers and lower body cladding, along with some metallic-effect details is a clear attempt to stem the flood of buyers choosing cars such as the Nissan Qashquai. It may be little more than an Allroad-style makeover rather than a new format but it speaks volumes in terms of how the family car market has shifted and not only in Europe.

Sky+ For Android Update Brings Remote Control And More

Sky have updated their Sky+ application for Google’s Android platform and the app now comes with the features that have been available to iOS users, including the ability to use your Android smartphone or tablet as a remote control for Sky.

Sky+ Android

The new update is just the most recent to the popular Sky+ app, which makes it really simple and easy to find out about and plan great TV to watch. Other useful features of the app include being able to browse the entire week’s TV through a user-friendly TV Guide, remote record both individual programmes and entire series, get recommendations of other programmes you may like, and manage recording clashes. On Demand listings will join the Android app later this year.

new Corvette Stingray

We've seen a lot of the new Corvette Stingray. After it debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, the first model sold for over a million bucks at auction. We then managed to see three Stingrays in the flesh thanks to an opportunistic fan who caught GM engineers taking a trio of C7s for a spin. Chevrolet recently revealed that the Corvette Stingray Convertible would be coming to the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, and now we have the first official commercial for the brand-new sports car.

The battle between Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz

Despite a lagging global economy these days, luxury car sales have been holding steady, especially in the US. The battle between Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz remains fierce on all levels, including high-performance models. According to a new report from BimmerBoost and Automobile, BMW is apparently looking at going above and beyond its M performance division to compete directly with Mercedes' AMG Black Series.

Comparison of audio quality smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple iPhone 5

Today I will drive foreheads Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. Of course, I bought both companies (and Nokia), I completely deaf and did not understand anything at all - this is obvious, and in the comments you can not write.

So. I will first talk about something that is not in the text. There will be no "objective" measurements RMAA, because they practically do not say anything about the sound.Specifically, they say that the device A on the test signal is different from device B. This, unfortunately, useful information ends.

It will not be long and persistent comparisons on hundreds of different headphones. For a simple reason - I use in everyday life, or test headphones, or your favorite Ultimate Ears UE11PRO.

There will be a lengthy description of sound instruments on different tracks. Here, I wish myself and you, dear readers - less text will scroll.

Still will not focus groups, and all because I was too lazy to organize them. Can throw rotten tomatoes - but the focus groups will not, as a tester, I will speak personally.

Now - what will be. And be on the subjective testing methodology. For a start - what parameters are taken into account.

Subjective evenness response - how the device is universal in its approach to sound reproduction

Detail - how well the device to deal with complex compositions
Attack - how well the amplifier unit to cope with a rapid increase in the volume
Dynamic range - how well the device works off playing as quiet and loud sounds
Quality stereo - how well the tools are arranged in a head
Amplifier noise - noise amplifier
Comfortable volume - the volume at which the listening to your favorite music

We are slowly inching towards the release of the HTC M7, which we have been hearing about for quite some time now. The phone is expected to be revealed in the special media event held by HTC on February 19, before MWC.
Now, we are hearing that the phone will be available on all major carriers in the US, except for Verizon. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint will have the phone by mid-March when it is said to go on sale but Verizon seems to be sitting this one out entirely or might join the party at a later date.

Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note to get 4.1.2 in March

Samsung Ukraine has announced that it will start rolling out the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to some of its devices from March. The first ones to get this update is the Galaxy S II as well as the Galaxy Note. The Galaxy S II, as you may know, has already started getting the update elsewhere in the world.

Along with these two device, Samsung will also be updating the Galaxy Ace 2 to Jelly Bean, but that will happen in April. And last but not the least, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 will also be joining the Jelly Bean party around the same time.

Some highlights of the new update include improved Instant Dictionary capabilities, better camera picture previews, improved clipboard, and an updated File Manager.

A Qatari sheikh has become the first person to purchase the new Lykan Hypersport; the most expensive car in the world.

Sheikh Jawan bin Hamad Al-Thani chose black as the color for his new $3.5 million acquisition.

The supercar was co-developed by the Beirut based W Motors with help from German tuner RUF Automobile and Canadian-Auto parts supplier Magna Steyr Italia.

The model will be limited to a seven-unit production run.
The price tag will buy al-Thani a carbon-fibre chassis; gold-plated hood; diamond-encrusted LED taillights and a Star Wars-like fully functional interactive holographic display. A $200,000 Special Edition Cyrus Klepcys watch has been thrown in for good measure.

The Lykan Hypersport, which was unveiled at the third Qatar International Motor Show, now has the title of the most expensive new car in the world, formally held by the Bugatti Veyron Super Sports.

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 2 to hit Britain in March

The Samsung S7710 Galaxy Xcover 2 was announced only a week ago, but Samsung UK already issued an official press release that the smartphone should make it to the UK stores by March. Then again, that's hardly a surprise as other markets were supposed to get it around February 20.

The Xcover 2 is IP67 certified, which means it's dust tight and it can endure submersion into a water depth of up to 1m for 30 min. A dedicated camera key makes it easy to snap photos underwater, too.
Besides being rugged, it's a fully featured Android smartphone with a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen, a 5MP camera, a dual-core CPU and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean pre-installed out of the box.

Samsung Galaxy IV, the rumored next flagship of the South Korean giant might actually launch in the month of April according to a couple of images from an internal raffle doc at a New Zealand mobile retailer.

The raffle doc states that all the prize winners will be given a Samsung Galaxy S IV smartphone. The raffle ends on April 9, so we imagine the prizes should be delivered shortly after.

If the raffle details are to be trusted, Samsung's latest smartphone will be launched in the month of April. This aligns nicely with previous rumors pointing to an announcement in March and launch in the third week of April.

At an event in Thailand, Intel and Acer presented a new Android smartphone. The Acer Liquid C1makes use of the latest mobile Intel Atom Z2420 chipset, which was only recently announced - back at CES earlier this month actually.

The Acer Liquid C1 is not a high-end model but it's still decently equipped. At the front there's a 4.3-inch IPS screen of qHD resolution 960x540 pixels. On the back there is an 8MP auto focus camera.
