Loading ...Microsoft will not be happy about this one. Their Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista is final according to them and it’s status is “RTM” but consumers will not be getting it soon. That’s not the case now though after the RTM version has appeared on Torrent websites i.e. The Pirates Bay 
Comments of the people who downloaded it confirm that it is indeed the RTM [18000] build.

Talking about the Status Symbol “APPLE” - the one headed by Steve who’s obsessed with bashing Microsoft all the time. Not that I am an APPLE hater, they have good products yeah and for that they take a lot of money from their customers. Anyway…
I recently searched for APPLE in Pakistan and found the following two Resellers or whatever you may call them. There are other players too perhaps in the game but they only deal in iPods not the MacBooks - APPLE’s Computers.

I read in a news paper it will start after 25th March and now on Internet I find out it has already started on 23rd March? If it has then why do I not see any thing related to MNP on Mobile Network’s Websites? I have only sighted MNP related FAQ procedure and request form on Instaphone’s website! I guess all Networks will have the same FAQs so take a look at it…

Online Banking has started already here and there have been laws too regarding Internet and what not. We do need Paypal’s payment services since it’s reliable and affordable too. Everyone can easily use the said service.
Sending money to someone abroad or someone abroad sending money to Pakistan is always pain. I remember ordering a USB kit from a shop in China, I had no other choice but a TT and that was costly. I had to pay a fee equal to the amount I was sending… Other options for sending money to Pakistan are through Western Union and Money Gram. Never tried International Money order. UBL also offers sending money to Pakistan from abroad, they have very little presence in other countries though. There are other Private Companies working too, like Maliks Exchange but it was no use for me and yeah the “DESI” style of sending money is always there. You pay someone in Dubai, that someone calls his brother back home and gives the said amount to the person for whom it is meant.

They had done very well in sales and everything in most of the countries EXCEPT Pakistan. I feel like AMD did nothing to get hold of the market in Pakistan because last time I inquired, it was I think June last year, there was only ONE Reseller for AMD in a city near ours and no one offered AMD in our city. People over here do want to get computers but most of them want to save money too, that is where AMD could have won over Intel in the past…
I have noticed that after release of Intel’s Core 2 DUO Processors and aggressive price cuts by both AMD and Intel, AMD finally woke up and wants to get hold of things over in Pakistan. Intel has dominated Pakistan’s computer market since years, they can’t be beaten any soon. Plus resellers/dealers will have a hard time selling AMD to their customers because everyone seem to have “Intel is the best” on their mind. It is very true, they look for “Genuine Intel” everywhere! So much that they don’t consider Intel’s Celeron processors “Genuine Intel”!!! Both are of course made by Intel and are not fakes, but try telling that to someone here.

Intel Core 2 Duo processors have shaken the Computer world, at least AMD’s if not anyone else’s. Intel is scheduled to release new processors in coming months of 2007 which will add into the current Core 2 Duo processors line up. The newest to arrive is E4300, same as E6300 but with a slightly lower clockspeed, lower FSB and a 6-9 multiplier. I am amazed at the fact that the said processor is scheduled for shipping on 21st of January BUT it has appeared in Pakistan prior to that!!! Yes, E4300 is released here.
It has appeared in the price lists of “POP - Pakistan Office Products”, one of the official distributors of Intel in Pakistan. The price list is dated 5th of January. I have confirmed it from POP, it is available with them. I tried to confirm the said launch from “Intel Corporation Pakistan” and “Intel APAC Sales Center” but no response from them yet. They don’t give a damn about it I guess. The prices are listed as, ofcourse excluding the DAMN Government Sales Tax:
