Best network for 3G / 4G?

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:56:00 +0000

Many Congrats to Govt. of Pakistan, PTA and MOIT for successful auction of 3G and 4G Spectrum which I covered yesterday. Results are as follows:

Only Zong managed to secure 10Mhz of 4G spectrum from the 1800 Mhz Band. After this a lot of people are planning to join or switch network. But here are some points before taking any decision:

10Mhz block for 3G/4G means bigger pipe for broadband services.

Operators with 10Mhz spectrum will need lesser number of cell sites (simply you can say Towers), while operators with 5Mhz block will need more cell sites to deliver similar amount of broadband.

Speed depends upon your distance from cell site and user connected cell site as well.

Simply we can say Zong and Mobilink can accommodate more consumers as compare to Telenor and Ufone. And if you are far from cell site or maximum consumers connected one cell site it can slow your network speed.

While Warid is claiming that they have Technology Neutral Licence and can offer such services for subscribers. But they can not offer without approval of PTA.
So here are online Network Port Links:

December 25, Quaid-e-Azam aur naya Paksitan

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 08:12:00 +0000

25 دسمبر : یہ دن اتنا اہم کیوں ہے؟ اس دن سرکاری تعطیل کا کیا جواز بنتا ہے؟ کچھ ایسےسوالات اور بھی ہوں گے.

اوہ ہ ہ یاد آیا آج تو قائداعظم محمد علی جناح کا یوم پیدائش ہے،.جبکہ باقی دنیا کیلئے کرسمس .مجھے کرسمس سے کوئی لینا دینا نہی. میں تو بات کررہا تھا قائداعظم کی.ہاں جی وہی ہستی جس نے پاکستان جیسا ملک ہم جیسے بے قدرے لوگوں ،نامراد سیاست دانوں ، فوج کے سپاہیوں، غلیظ بیوروکریٹس، نام نہاد ملاوں اور پتا نہیں کس کس کے لیے بنایا تھا.پتہ نہی کیا سوچ کے انہوں نے یہ کام کر دیا کہ مسلمانوں کے لیے ایک الگ ملک ہو، پاکستان کام مطلب کیا لا الہ الا للہ ہو.

لکین خود تو آپ چلے گئے ہم کو کنفیوز کر گئے، آج تک ہر کوئی اپنی مرضی کا پاکستان بنا رہا ھے، کسی کا پاکستان اسلامی ہے تو کسی کا سکیولر. کسی کا پاکستان قدامت پسند تو کسی نے پاکستان کہModern Enlightenment کا ناسور بھی دیا. میں تو بچپن سے آپ کو ہی قائد مانتا آ رہا ہوں جناب جناح صاحب اور تو اور اس پاکستان کو بھی صرف آپ کا ہی سمجھتا ہوں. لکین یقین جانیں آپ کے اب تو ہر کو ئی قائد ہے پاکستان کا . اس عوام کو آپ کی ضرورت نہی مسٹر جناح آپ کی تصویر وہ کچھ کر جاتی ہے اس پاکستان کہ چلانے کے لئے جو آپ شائد کبھی بھی نہ کر سکتے.

اب تو ہر ایک قائد ہے ہر ایک کا اپنا منشور ہے. کسی کا قائد ذوالفقار بھٹوہے اس نے بھی پاکستان دیا ہے اس عوام کو،اسے چھوڑیں اب تو سارے اپنا اپنا پاکستان دینا چاہتا ہیں "ہم دیں گے نیا پاکستان" پتہ نی کیا کیا کھوکھلے شوشے ہیں. کوئی انقلاب سے سونامی کی طرف آ گیا اور نیا پاکستان بنانے کی بات کرنے لگا، تو کوئی آپ کی پارٹی کا نام استعمال کر کے جدہ سے واپس آ کے نیا پاکستان دینا چاہ رہا، تو کوئی اسلام کو آڑھ بنا رہا، اور یہ عوام اپنا اپنا قائد تلاش کر کے اس کی ہرہر بات پے لبیک کہ رہے ہیں، دماغ سن ھو چکے سب کے، کوئی اپنے قائد کے خلاف نہی سنتا. سب نے اس عوام کو آگے لگایا ہوا ہے اور عوام خوشی سے لگی ہوئی ہے. مجھے سمجھ نہی آتی ک جب سب نے اپنا اپنا پاکستان بنانا تھا تو جناح صاحب آپ کو کیا تھا کہ آپ نے ان سب کے لیے سوچا.

کاش یہ شریف برادران، عمران خان، بھٹو زرداری، الطاف حسین، اسفند یار ولی، نیئے پرانے سارے ملاء، فوجی اور بھی وہ سب جو اپنا اپنا پاکستان بنانا چاھ رھے،اس عوام کو قائداعظم محمد علی جناح کا پاکستان ہی دے دیں بہت ہے.

Want to visit Kennedy Space Center? Google Street view is here

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Space and touring enthusiasts (from Pakistan who can’t afford going to USA) can now walk through the Kennedy Space Center, the launch pad for NASA’s every manned mission since 1968, with Google Street View – giving you the exact sight seeing, look and feel of KSC with the comfort of sitting in your home.

Google said that the collaboration between Street View and NASA happened to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Kennedy Space Center.

“We are pleased to partner with Google on the new Street View project, which offers the public a behind-the-scenes look at the Kennedy Space Center’s unique facilities that launched humans to the moon and Space Shuttles to low Earth orbit. Viewers also will get a peek inside areas where flight hardware was processed, including elements of the International Space Station, and planetary and scientific payloads,” said Lisa Malone, director of KSC Public Affairs.

With the coverage of Kennedy Space Center in Google Street View, you can now explore the space shuttle launch pad, Vehicle Assembly Building and Launch Firing Room #4.

Go to the top of the enormous launch pad, have an Aerial peek at KSC compounds, peer up at the towering ceiling of the Vehicle Assembly Building (taller than the Statue of Liberty) and get up close to one of the space shuttle’s main engines, which is powerful enough to generate 400,000 lbs of thrust. All this possible with the click of a mouse. Amazing world this has become.

Meanwhile, enjoy below images from Kennedy Space Center:

ISLAMIC VIEW of BLOOD DONATION & TRANSFUSION

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Sat, 26 May 2012 15:46:00 +0000

Islam enjoins preserving human life and protecting it against all potential harm, affliction and hardship, and it insists on ensuring peace and security for human beings.

In the Quran, Allah says, "To save one life is to save all humanity".
Islamic law urges every Muslim to be in constant support of his community, and make it a legal requirement in many cases. According to a Hadith (saying by the Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him)),"He who relieves a believer of one form of distress, in this life shall be relieved by God of a greater distress on the Day of Resurrection" and "God will help any servant of His, as long as he continues to help his brother".
"A Muslim is a brother to every Muslim, he neither lets him down, nor does him injustice, nor gives him away".

Therefore, if giving blood to a patient is necessary for his survival, then, according to Islam, it becomes mandatory to donate blood`, as a case of implementing a basic Islamic principle which makes it imperative to preserve human life. Two important main Islamic rules are also applicable here, namely: "Harm must be eliminated" & "Necessity overrules constraints". Further more it is in agreement with the Islamic principles of social justice.

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) says, "Cupping is a most useful type of medical treatment". He also says, If any of your methods of treating the ill is effective, an incision by phlebotomy scalpel is certainly one".

In the Hadith, there is an earnest call for phlebotomy and cupping, because of their proven benefits to man. It indicates that blood donation is not only harmless to the donor, but it is also useful to him, as it activates the process of replenishing blood cells. When blood is needed in the community, blood donation becomes a community as well as a person's individual obligation. If they fail to fulfil it, they shall be considered as having committed a sin.

God has given man a position of honor. "We have honored the sons of Adam". That is why, the selling of the human body, its organs or blood is forbidden.

The inferred meaning of three other Hadiths are: -
"Cut your vein with a scalpel and allow your blood to flow and you can do this once in three months".
"You can allow your blood to flow every 17 days, 19 days and 21 days" This is applicable to modern day Plasma and Platelet Pharisees
"Removing blood from your body improves your health and enhances your eyesight".

Create Virtual Wifi Hotspots with your PC or Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Fri, 25 May 2012 10:49:00 +0000

Envision a common scenario where you need to share your internet connection with the others over a wireless medium.

Your options are to either create an ‘ad-hoc’ computer-to-computer connection or a network akin to the widely popular ‘hotspots’ – where multiple computers/devices can hook up to a single connection. The former is harder to set up and has less utility, whereas most devices don’t support native creation of hotspots.

That’s where we come in.

Sharing your computer’s internet connection

1. Windows 7 Virtual WiFi:

If you own a Windows 7 PC, you most probably have the Virtual WiFi drivers for your wireless card. It makes creating hotspots as easy as typing a few lines! Update the wireless drivers if your Network Connections screen doesn’t show the ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter‘

Open up a command prompt with administrator privileges (Start menu, All Programs, Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, select “Run as administrator”)
Configure the network interface by typing in :

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Test key=12345678

This creates a hotspot with name as “Test” and password to connect as “12345678″.
Open the Network Connections panel and right-click->Properties->Sharing tab on your Internet connection. Enable sharing and select the Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter as the medium.

Type the following to start your hotspot:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Connect to this network with your wireless device and enjoy!!

2. Connectify (MUCH MORE features than Option 1)

If you don’t have a Windows 7 machine (or the Virtual WiFi drivers), fret not, since you can still create a hotspot with free tools like Connectify. It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, with a tab for configuring your hotspot and another for viewing connected clients. It also has the handy feature of drag-and-drop file sharing over your network. Some features like setting your hotspot name have been disabled in the free edition. You can buy the Pro version for Rs. 1,600

Download and install Connectify from their official site.
Fire up the program and configure your network

You can disallow access to the Internet if you only want to permit local file sharing, or disallow access to the local network if you want to share an Internet connection without sharing your local network (some settings limited to Connectify Pro). You can also share files by Drag-and-drop to other Connectify users and share iTunes music libraries etc.
In Connectify Pro, you can also set up your computer as a repeater (Connectify Menu -> Easy Setup -> Clone WiFi Settings) for your network.

Sharing your cellphone’s internet connection

1. For Android

Android used to require rooting and dedicated apps to create a hotspot, but recent Google updates have made it a simple process. We’ll walk you through the steps for Android 4.0.3, and the process should be similar for devices with Android 2.2+ (earlier devices don’t support this feature)

Go to Wireless and Network settings and select Tethering & portable hotspot

Configure the hotspot and then select Portable Wi-Fi hotspot to enable the service

You can also share the internet connection over Bluetooth from this screen

2. For iPhone

I can’t guarantee about this method’s working across all providers and countries. I’m using a BSNL SIM in India

Go to Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network where you will findInternet Tethering APN options at the end. Set it up with the same APN as your normal data connection

Enable Personal Hotspot from the Network settings menu, and you’re good to go!

How to maintain your system properly?

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 13:54:00 +0000

If not properly and regularly maintained, the performance of all Windows 7 systems tend to degrade with the passage of time. For a good run of window 7, you can also increase performance of your computer yourself through maintenance by regularly cleaning registry, disk cleanup, defragment disk and check for disk errors.

Some of the tips which will help you maintain your system properly are:

1. Clean computer registry, but first backup the registry using the cleaner program. Regularly use a free software like Ccleaner, registry cleaner to increase window’s performance. Maybe you might have uninstalled an software without using the Add or Remove Programs function located in the Control Panel, or perhaps a file or an object in the registry got moved. Eventually, this incorrectly positioned information gradually gathers and starts to clog your registry, potentially slowing down your PC and causing error messages and sometimes system crashes too.

2. Perform a disk clean up. Click start in the bottom left corner, then click run. Type, “cleanmgr.exe” in the text field. Press “okay”. This can take a while if you have never done it before.

3. Check for disk errors. Over time, your hard disk develops bad sectors. Bad sectors slow down hard disk performance and sometimes make data writing difficult or even impossible. To detect and repair disk errors, Windows has a built-in tool called the Error Checking utility. It’ll search the hard disk for bad sectors and system errors and repair them for faster performance.

To detect and repair disk errors:

1. Click the Start button and click Computer.

2. Right click the hard disk you want to scan and click Properties.

3. Click the Tools tab.

4. Click Check Now.

5. Select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box and click Start.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 for all drives.

4. Defragment Your Computer. If this is your first defrag, do it after the disk clean up twice, then a disk defrag, and then another When your hard drive becomes fragmented, it is literally wasting time by looking in all kinds of places on the disk for all the pieces of one file. Defragmenting your drive is a great solution to speed up your computer as it puts all the files together in order. Click the Start button, type Defrag, and click Disk Defragmenter. Click the drives you want to defragment and click Analyze. Click Defragment. It is suggested to defrag your hard drive weekly. For the best results, run defragmenter last after performing all other steps and do not use your computer while defragmenter is running.

Facebook Timeline Now Available to you

noreply@blogger.com (Engr. Fahad Saleem) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:49:00 +0000

After months of slow, gradual rollout, Facebook Timeline is now available to all users.

The Timeline is a radical redesign of Facebook‘s user profile pages, introduced at Facebook’s F8 conference in September. Instead of merely listing your interests and personal info, the Timeline shows a detailed overview of your life on Facebook, with the ability to check out what you’ve been out to at a particular point in time.

Timeline comes with a new tool called the Activity Log, which enables you to finely tune what appears on your Timeline; you can “promote” a post to featured status, you can hide it from the Timeline or delete it altogether.

Like all major Facebook redesigns, Timeline was greeted with a fair share of criticism. Some users were concerned about Facebook’s request that users add even more personal info, as well as the fact that Timeline makes this info easily accessible, which could lead to identity theft.

The good news is that Facebook is implementing a seven day grace period, where you can review anything that appears on the timeline and decide whether you want anyone to see it. However, once you upgrade to Timeline, that new profile will “go live” at the end of the seven-day review period.

As of today, Timeline will also be available on Android devices as well as the mobile version of Facebook –m.facebook.com.

To enable Timeline, go to this page and click on “Get Timeline.”

Now you must be wondering how I got my hands on an iPhone 5 and put up this status, or maybe you say that its some system error and its iPhone 4 in actual. Well, lets just stop thinking too much here and let me reveal the secret.

A very good Indonesian developer, for whom I should also use the word naughty, as he helped us in fooling around with our friend and made a Facebook Application with the help of which we can update our status and under our status comes a ‘Via iPhone 5′ to let us fool around. His name is Alfian Khoirul Bahroin and he made these kind of Apps not only for iPhone 5 but for many other devices. You can learn more about those by clicking on his name and getting redirected to his website.

So, coming back to helping you putting your status as ‘Via iPhone 5′ would be just a small tutorial.

Step 1: Go to Facebook Application ‘Via iPhone 5′ HERE.

Step 2: Press the allow button so that to grant access to App to post stuff on your wall, and in this case the status.

Step 3: After pressing ‘Allow’ in step 2, you will be directed to another page where you will see an empty box for your status as down here in the picture.

And that’s it. You have given shocks to several people around Facebook and now your inbox and wall will be full of questions as to HOW?

Here’s a small but useful post for people, who use Internet Download Manager and have recently moved to Firefox 7. The old firefox addon that came with IDM is not compatible with Firefox 7. There are alternative solutions on the internet like the FlashGot extension. Anyhow, it’s a simple matter of a new addon. Download the addon below and install it on your Firefox 7 browser.
