I’m calling foul.

I am in touch with my lawyer Zahid Jamil about some very incriminating and defamatory photographs posted on various blogs.  I am quite sure that these pictures have gone through a lot of electronic adulteration and thus fall under various clauses of Pakistan’s e-crime bill.  I think it is my right to sue the likes of Jedi who claims to be my friend.  But with posts like this and this, he’s definitely looking to talk to my lawyer.  As for Mr. Owais, I want all pictures in these series, along with negatives and all copies made, immediately.

And those who are still wording their malicious posts (yes you Jehan), I would suggest absolute refrain.  My hot lawyer is one tough cookie when it comes to winning phones for legal fee. 

I’m open to out of court settlements and will be willing to drop my lawyer’s services if the offers are right.  Failing any kind of settlement, I’d be left with no choice but to let you talk to my “Settlements Officer (aka The Goon)“.

All of you have been warned.

I don’t need no…. Program Launcher

Some days ago I had talked about sTabLauncher which would help put your frequently used links in tabbed groups.  Some people commented that I’d be better off using things like Colibri or launchy.  Thanks for those comments, because it got me thinking, I have the best launcher already installed on my computer.  Those of you who have installed Vista, and obviously already gone back to XP (any sane person would do that), the only thing you could be missing is Vista’s built-in desktop search thing.  Well… don’t feel so bad.  If you’re sensible, you would have both google desktop AND Windows desktop search, installed on your XP machine.  How does that help?  These two screenshots should answer the question.  In case you don’t notice, Windows search SUX in comparison to Google’s desktop search

Dark & Dusky

I’ve been very upset about all the “fairness cream” advertisements in Pakistan. I find them very discriminatory and insulting for a nation where easily 95% population is not exactly very fair (white). If it was in my power I’d ban all these promotions.

My good friend Faisal Khan has shared some videos on his blog which address this very issue. I found the this video of particular interest. Thanks for sharing Faisal.

Startup Insiders session #7 - Karachi

 Here it is again.  This time more focused, and hopefully better than ever.  For those who have been coming to the sessions, you better be there.  Those who have been procrastinating… oh well….

For details please refer to the following:

• Jehan’s blog
• Jedi’s blog
• Green & White blog - Even though they’ve dissociated from SI’s.

P. S.  We obviously love talking.

Microsoft Foldershare

When Microsoft bough “foldershare” in November 2005, it looked like they just wanted to take out competition.  But when a major update was released yesterday, I was pleased  to see that foldershare has got the feel of live.  And thank God Microsoft hasn’t blocked foldershare like it has done Skydrive for Pakistan.  Since I have already been desperately looking for a solution to keep my various computers synchronized, in particular my onenote files, foldershare seemed like a godsent. 

People don’t seem too impressed with the new foldershare and there are complaints of it crashing very frequently. However,  I have installed it on my laptop and my home computer, and it seems to be working like a gem.  Foldershare is keeping selective folders in synch across computers, and also letting me browse files on all connected machines through its web based interface.

I’m not sure why people are having trouble with the app.  If it works for you, it’s definitely worth a try.
