<p>The iphone fame in Pakistan is at rise despite the fact that it is not officially launched here at yet.  Interestingly a number of people attempt to buy the fake iphone by considering it the original one. Something similar I had experienced few days back but luckily saved my $250 from wasting it on the so called iphone.  So here I am to unhide the mockery of fake iphone.  By look it is appealing enough that it is certainly difficult to recognize it as the copy of iphone.  This inferior iphone has the same size of touch pad screen, an apple logo &#038; the statement manufactured in California assembled in china on the back side.  You can’t say it a crap phone until you play with it for a while. Yes! After being annoyed by its poor touch pad sensitivity you must say, this is the worst iphone I had ever seen. </p>
<p>This iphone lacks almost every superior function that original has, it didn’t support Wi-Fi internet connectivity nor you can install apple applications from the application store, music store &#038; iTunes.  If you like to <a href="http://casino.ladbrokes.com/en/roulette/type">play roulette</a> on you mobile, you will find it very difficult to enjoy a proper game using this iPhone. Its low pixels camera is crap. It didn’t support GPS navigator, it can’t even play mp3 &#038; the funniest part is its poor touch sensor where you need a touch pen to browse. A touch pen is the part of this phone. Its sound quality is worst, listing to songs on its headphone is like listening the radio transmission of your neighboring countries at MW frequency. </p>
<p>I don’t know the exact price of this iphone in Pakistan but it deserves nothing more in the range of $100. Yes the credit goes to china for copying apple but remember  buying this phone is a mistake, if you had ever used the genuine iphone you will prefer to throw it after using it for a couple of days.  So be aware:)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many SIMs are registered with your name? You were not able to answer this question exactly but thanks to PTA now your can easily find the number of SIMS registered with your CNIC. write your CNIC number from your cell phone &#038; send it to 668, you will receive a massage showing the number of SIMs registered with your identity for each mobile operator. This is an excellent solution to cope with identity fraud in SIMs registration process from different cellular companies in Pakistan. I must admire this step of PTA, Since one year they are actively working to archive fair data from the mobile subscribers. I believe they have succeeded in this goal. I just checked mine &#038; was surprised to see that there are 9 telenor SIMs registered with my CNIC, I cant wait to contact the nearest Service center of telenor to infrom them about the fake entries with my identity.</p>
<p>Identity fraud in SIM registration process is one of the major problem that is in the scenario since the arrival of telecom companies in Pakistan, I believe telecom companies, government &#038; the users itself are responsible for it, First it is the responsibility of telecom companies to allow only the authorized sales points for the sales &#038; registration of there SIMs (subscribers identity module). They are required to actively monitor the sale points &#038; ensure fair registration from the users. However we can expect them unfair at this, because every company likes to have more subscribers to gain more revenue. So ultimately for achieving this they can try every possible sales channel without caring about the consequence. </p>
<p>Ok! Now turning towards the government which holds a major responsibility in this regard, unfortunatly it seems me that the government was finding it difficult to direct the telecom operators with a fair &#038; strict policy regarding the registration of new SIMs, Before the serious involvement of PTA (Pakistan telecom authority) the sales &#038; registration process of telecom subscribers are not fair, SIMs of different companies were selling without the requirements of proper identity document, that is as easy as finding classifieds from <a href="http://clhandbook.com">Craigslist</a>. Even a kid can purchase these SIMs from any retailor. </p>
<p>Franchises &#038; the retailors are the great contributors in the occurrence of fake entries, every franchise owner gets a good profit margin on every SIM that is registered &#038; sold in a defined region. They make fake entries for their sales in most of the cases when a buyer didn’t submit their original CNIC with the purchase. Similar is the case with retailers, they get Rs 20 to 30 on each registration form they submit to the franchise for registration, they attach anonymous CNIC with the registration forms that resulted in the fake entry for a particular mobile number. However, PTA has make these things easier now. you can register your SIM directly by calling them from your mobile phone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Corporate identity, trademarks or &#8220;logo&#8221; can be classified as the lingo of 21st century, where advertising &#038; marketing becomes the essence of daily life. Now a days Trademarks &#038; logo is the popular way to recognize a specific product, place, event, person or group. In 13th century trademarks for the first time was presented to identify people like Goldsmith &#038; paper makers. Now logo or corporate identity is considered the most essential part of any business.<br />
<a href="http://s930.photobucket.com/albums/ad150/oooppps/?action=view&#038;current=AppleLogos.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad150/oooppps/AppleLogos.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></p>
<p>While looking at how the identity changes with time, Apple Inc in particular, has in the recent few decades changes their logos, Apple is an American multinational corporation that designs and manufactures computer &#038; electronics products. Generally the logo design is changed when a new &#038; advanced Logo designing software is introduced. </p>
<p>Apple fist logo was introduced when it was established in 1976, that was the time when the use of computer for designing graphics was not yet introduced at professional level, so that&#8217;s why we find this logo simple, in 1976 apple came up with another logo that is advanced from the fist one, similarly in 1998 we see the current logo which we find more attractive with a Web 2.0 concept. Logo designing for a <a href="http://www.directorybie.com">directory</a>, forum, blogs &#038; other static or dynamic web portals is a growing profession. nowadays graphic designers use different graphics softwares in which Adobe photoshope &#038; corel draw are most common.    </p>

<p>Ufone &#038; zong particularly, mobilink up to some extent &#038; warid quite often. All the telecoms operators are sharp competitors not by just the specific brands &#038; tariff they offer but also in electronic media advertisements. Lately i came through the advertisements of ufone &#038; zong. the recent entries makes me feel that there is nothing about convincing &#038; persuasion with that product add but was just a taunting documentary. Although Ufone maintains its sense of humor by creating humorous adds which is the best part i like in it. These days Ufone &#038; zong has captured most of the premiere add time in all major TV channels in Pakistan. it seems me that both the companies have acquired quite a healthy budget in this quarter for media adds. Dont it looks awkward to do extensive advertisement? or should i called it development in terms of media frenzy?</p>
<p>Ali zafar &#038; telenor is no more associated with one another if we see inside latests in telecoms advertisement industry, this is when i switched on the TV a day before &#038; noticed ali zafar performing in latest mobilink add. Is Ali zafar will be a loss for telenor? my answer will be no because now telenor have already acquired another brand girl   &#8220;annie&#8221; which used to be a famous pop singer &#038; a model. Telenor media campaign is however all about singing &#038; dancing but it suits with the style of ali zafar. Now the same dose not suit with annie. anyhow lets see what new girl will do in future. Ali zafar is although a superstar in telenor media adds. he has performed &#038; recorded many theme songs for telenor talkshawk media campaigns. One cannot forget him singing &#038; dancing in talkwshawk advertisements. It is a fail idea to present him as a brand model in mobilink as he has already been used extensively in telenor. it will be a mismatch if he continuously signed add for mobilink.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Itâ€™s been years since I am wondering in the e world. Infact there were many things I donâ€™t know about. During the beginning of my journey I have no idea about many interesting things that are considered as the backbone at e world. At the start I own a blog which belongs to free blogging hosts. I signed up with a free sub domain blog a start blogging in it. It was then Little by little I start learning things &#038; interacted with a list of webmasters &#038; entrepreneurs from every corner of the world. The blogging thrill continues &#038; I moved to a self hosted domain account for my blog. I came to know that there are many people in e world but the most successful are the one who work smarter with focus on quality. So in e world the secret became Quality of services when success is the main concern in e world. Similarly maintaining a rapport &#038; healthy relations with the customers &#038; competitors is very important if you wish to move with the e world for a long run. </p>
<p>When It came to quality the most important things to consider is <a href="http://www.mckremie.com">web hosting </a>for your website, If your site is hosted with a trusted &#038; high quality company then you are safe. I have witnessed many people who choose cheap hosting solutions &#038; ultimately suffer loss of data due to server crash or virus infections. So the bottom line is always try to became a quality symbol &#038; donâ€™t compromise with standards. Success is yours.</p>

<p>Lately one of my blog post discussed about the expansion of Wimax technology in Pakistan. So here I am with new evidence. Augere a Netherlands company with a team of highly skilled &#038; experienced personals aimed to Start Wimax broadband services in Pakistan. I came to confess this news after going though a list of new job apportinities announced by Augere in Sundayâ€™s newspaper. Here I want to let you people know that Augere has been assigned by telecard to start their operations in Pakistan. Lately they are having disputes with Wi-Tribe another Wimax operator regarding licensing issue. While looking at the current scenario regarding wimax we came to know that currently Wateen has the monopoly to offer wimax based internet service. Wateen subscribers faced speed problem at many places &#038; they has yet to work on making it to meet the required quality standards. I believe it is good to have more competitors in the market where the customers can have more options. Wi-tribe &#038; augere in the future will be the sharp competitors in the industry. I wish they soon ended up with more coverage &#038; quality of services that the current Wimax operator provides in Pakistan.</p>

<p>Recently Ufone came with its new promotional campaign &#038; introduced a new call package for their prepaid customers. This is the tradition of Ufone that they always came with exciting offers for student community in Pakistan who happen to be price sensitive. In fact they know the need of them so the arrival of this package is also a big hit &#038; appreciated by youngsters. According to one number free offer, any prepaid subscriber can activate one number free by dialing 160 from their cell phone. But hey the fact is this is not free at all. RS 36 will be deducted daily from your balance for using this service. Other calling rates will be RS 1.21/min (ufone to ufone) &#038; RS 1.93 (ufone to other networks). The one free number offer is not a bad deal while looking at its cost. Isnâ€™t it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You probably came across dozens of websites while searching for specific information in google or any other search engine. At the same time you often get annoyed while looking at the results that are not reverent to what you are exactly looking for. Similarly on the other hand at many cases you become surprised to see the accuracy of results. The reason is the different ways through which a website goes to be able to appeared in search results. In fact search engine looks at the website differently as we do. Besides physical appearance of a website there are many other factors that involves in making at website search engine friendly. Things like, quality, originality &#038; uniqueness of the content of the website, back links (your website link on other websites), Excellent HTML coding &#038; CSS based design, proper heading &#038; tags are very essential for a website to became search engine friendly. Most frequently Search engine love websites of old ages with a revelant domain name &#038; good page rank.</p>
<p>In the scenario of internet marketing &#038; sales, most of the entrepreneurs these days focus to make their web postal search engine friendly in order to get maximum exposure. For SEO purpose they frequently hire web masters to promote their websites in all major search engines. <a href="http://www.mckremie.com">Web hosting for small business</a> &#038; domain registration services for a website are the popular business over the world wide web. Here I must concluded that making your website appear on the first page at the search engine results for a specific keyword  is more likely to be a long term process, you have to work for that with building back links &#038; maintaining quality content at your website.</p>
