Wateen Wimax USB Review

i decided to try Wateen Wimax usb for my laptop this season  ,i am using Link dot NET  for 1-2 Years now , but as its winters here and i prefer to work in bed most of the time lol , i heared that wateen is now offering USB wimax device after reading their Advertising banner illustrating that they are offering service in my Area  ( i am living in Punjab Society , Near DHA , Lahore  these days )   , so i decided to give it a try i purchased this device for almost like  rs 2500 with one month advance internet fee , i was told to verify the signal strength before registring device so in case it wouldnt work i can return and get my refund  , so  as guided i pluigged it into my laptop and it was initially giving signal strength like 80-100 % was quite happy and excited so i ordered to register the device so i can start using internet over that  , once i got confirmatory email from Wateen i dediced to use internet over that but worst nightware was there after i enter my username and password there and click connect signal drops to 20% and LAN doesn’t connect . i tried on desktop pc too but same results , tried calling their call centers but they are guiding me to ask for a refund to representative  Franchise . As i purchased device from a small outlet in Hafeez Center Lahore so they are recommending me to contact Wateen’s Support center . No wimax for me :(  still awaiting full wateen service  . my next aim would be to try PTCL EVO with 3.1 MB/Sec Link .

just a single suggestion if you have plans to purchase wateen dongle make sure you have full and best Wateen coverage in your area .

Dual Screen Laptop / Notebook to be released this year !

My wish to use Laptop for multi screen tasks is about to complete i think , i personally like doing professional work on lappy but some tasks like 3d modelling , or HD photoeditings require multi screen , i hope this model will launched in other parts of world including Pakistan soon ,gScreen claims their G400 Spacebook is the first dual screen laptop with two 15.4 inch LED display screens and a full-size keyboard, built into one unit. Though no pricing has been announced yet, reports state that it could be close to the $3,000 mark.

The notebook, which will be powered by Intel Core 2 Duo and run Microsoft Windows Vista/XP Professional is geared towards designers, animators and photographers who are used to double-screen desktop environments. It will be available for shipment from the USA to both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates through Amazon.

gScreen’s Spacebook model won’t be the only dual-screen laptop to hit the market with both Lenovo and HP keen to join in the double action.

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year, Lenovo released details on its new ThinkPad W700ds that sports a main 17 inch LCD screen and an additional 10.6 inch screen that slides out from behind. Another device from HP, dubbed the ‘HP Firefly with Voodoo DNA’ comes with a multi-touch touchpad and dual displays - a large 17.1 inch LCD and a smaller second 4.3 inch LCD.

Google’s Owner just released a statement that his Company will soon lauch an Open Source Operating system with strong base for those who spend most of their time on Internet , Google at the moment almost owns the internet from Google search engine to Trends each of its web based application help Users , Developers alot .

i am sure Google cant overcome Linux but they way Google Chrome Dminated the browser race from Mozilla Firefox is worth apperciation , its a fantastic step by Google for those who cant afford expensive Operating Systems like Microsoft Windows , Vista etc

beside that this step will help in reduction of piracy as many users are using pirated or non-licensed versions of Operating systems .

life is busy again …. thats good ;)

i am writing this post after a long long time  , reason = “extremely busy ” with freelance life , creating more than 8 websites currently and more than 12 Blogs  , Odesk rendered some very good paying projects for still mining getacoder but i think i have enough projects for -2 Months . 

Beside that spending little time on my personal projects too , will launch my 2 new websites this year .

Work and Earn Online ..

i recieve many messages on social networks and IM’s from my friends and collegeues that how they can work online and earn some $$  ,

So i decided to to write a little content to guide them how they can find some work online , first of all forget phishing scam offers like :

“work from home and earn $10,0000  daily”

or

“work from home and earn millions ”

etc etc  ….websites with such slogans demand a startup fee between $100-$200 and when you pay them initiall fee …boooom …they either dont reply back to your emails or either they will give you a long timeframe when you will have to start working for them…..so heres the easy way :

a. Every work and task demands skill

it isnt possible that you can just start earning online without having any skill

you must either have good content writing skills , coding /programming , or designing skills to work online .

b.  what skills i must have to  find online work ????

so this time you wont have to submit any fee or dont have to click any links to earn , there are many websites which hosts many projects posted by service buyers if you either one of the following skills you can provide your services as freelancer and can earn good amount online :

1.Web Development

2.Graphic Designing

3.Technical Writing

4.Creative Writing

5.Programing Knowledge

6.Article writing skills

……

there are many other skills but these skills are prominent

so if you have either of the following skills then there are chances you can apply for online Freelance jobs.

c.Where i can find work ?

so now you visit the following websites:

1. Odesk

2. Get A Freelancer

3. Get A Coder

4.Eu Freelance

5.Rent A Coder

i personally prefer odesk (the first one)  as there are tons of freelance jobs there and its payment methods are very good .

i will soon post another topic to make things much easier please let me know if you want to clerify anything .

British Architecture in Abbottabad , Pakistan

Abbottabad located between the high mountains of  Hazara Division of NWFP   was ones a stronghold of British Army in early 18th  and 19th century .Abbottabad was selected as a home and army mess for many Britishers as it was requirement in that time to have a Army strong hold near the most tensed area of that time  , yeah it was Khyber Pass area ,

in that British  regime  ,some prominent buildings / barracks were constructed which still remain the part of Abbottabad but are in endangered condition .

Abbottabad pakistan

there was a good relation between locals and British Army men that time which can be judged by fact that city “Abbott-Abad ” was named after A great Abbott.

after recent earthquake many old buildings are endangered Gov and municipal Admins must have to pay a bit attention to this situation of Hazara region will loose a major part of its heritage.

Another Endangered House
