After long drawn speculation about which iPhone model would be unveiled, Apple has launched the iPhone 4S at the “Lets talk iPhone” event today.
No mention of the redesigned iPhone 5, by the way. Design wise, the iPhone 4S looks just like the iPhone 4, but hardware wise it’s all new.
Here’s a quick rundown of the features it’s boasting:
Overview:
Apple is calling iPhone 4s as world phone. It supports both GSM and CDMA network and comes in both black and white color with same prices. As mentioned above, Apple didn’t redesign iPhone this time – iPhone 4S looks exactly like iPhone 4 – however, there are plenty of upgrades in terms of hardware (and software obviously).
Processor:
It’ll run on a scaled down version of the dual core A5 chip (which is the same as the one on the iPad). The graphics are supposed to be seven times better than the iPhone 4 and CPU performance will be double that of its predecessor.
Enhanced Camera:
The camera also gets an improvement. The 8MP unit in the iPhone 4S will have a “five element lens” which will be capable of a resolution of 3264×2448. Photo capture and the rear light will also be faster and brighter respectively.
The phone will be capable of shooting 1080p and feature real time video image stabilization as well, which is a feature new for smartphones. There’s another feature called the Hybrid IR filter, but what everything basically means is that the camera on the iPhone 4S will be a lot better than anything on the previous models.
Battery and Antenna:
Battery timings of the phone, Apple claims, will be up to 8 hours of 3G talk times, 14 hours of 2G talk time, 6 hours of 3G browsing, and 9 hours of Wi-Fi browsing. It seems that Apple took a note from the antenna fiasco with the iPhone 4; the iPhone 4S will feature dual antennas. It will switch between the two to provide the best performance for call quality and download speed.
Siri
One of the features that I’m sure will be talked about a lot is Siri, the intelligent assistant. The idea is that you can ask your phone any question and it will answer it. Questions could be like what the weather is, or you could ask it to read a text message or you could ask it to set an alarm for a specific time. It can even search Wikipedia and Wolfram-Alpha to look for answers to your questions.
Initially it will support English, French and German. But the service is being launched in beta so more services and support will be added later.
Its capacity to feed its people adequately is under severe strain given the
long-term neglect of essential elements of the agricultural sector
A s Pakistan confronts a major humanitarian catastrophe in the wake of large-scale floods that have hit the country’s southern province of Sindh, its diverse groups of politicians appear increasingly busy with a futile venture – settling scores.
Nawaz Sharif, the opposition leader and former prime minister, has chosen to target the ruling regime led by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) for its handling of flood relief work while members of the PPP have questioned Sharif’s sincerity in dealing with what he considers a national cause.
As rivals on Pakistan’s political scene choose to argue and counter-argue about exactly who is more sincere than the other, the people of Pakistan are suffering. For the moment, the crisis left behind by floods in Sindh continues to absorb the attention of most Pakistanis.
But eventually, once the immediate crisis begins to subside, a pressing need for long-term rehabilitation of the flood victims will come around to haunt Pakistan. Faced with an already daunting task of managing a country with a multitude of challenges, Pakistan’s rulers clearly have a monumental task.
There are many crisis-stricken elements of the challenge which faces Pakistan. Among the more obvious predicaments, Pakistan’s capacity to feed its people adequately is already under severe strain given the long-term neglect of the agricultural sector.
From basic inputs like seeds and fertilisers to water for irrigation, Pakistan has been confronting tough realities on every front. There are no easy solutions to any of these predicaments which affect the country’s ability to ensure even the basic level of food security.
Breakdown of governance
The challenges for Pakistan’s physical security are unending. For the past decade since the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were quickly reciprocated by a US-led (unending) campaign against terror, Pakistan’s army and security services have battled militants eager to wage war in the country. Along with this continuing conflict has come a breakdown of Pakistan’s internal governance structures, in part due to the choice made by former president Pervez Musharraf to dismantle a tried and tested administrative order. Musharraf’s decision to oversee the introduction of a system of elected representatives at the grassroots level, to prop up his otherwise questionable democratic credentials, has only added the proverbial fuel to the fire.
More than three years after Musharraf stepped down unceremoniously to avoid an impeachment by Pakistan’s parliament, his political credentials are nowhere near staging a recovery. Nor is the system of grassroots government that he left behind about to do any good for Pakistan.
Last but not the least, Pakistan’s economy faces a deepening crisis. In the past three years since the PPP-led coalition government came to power, stories of corruption in high places have been unending. While some of these claims may well be exaggerated, the government’s failure lies in its inability to respond adequately to its critics.
Failure of ruling elite
Ultimately, the conventional wisdom which sees Pakistan increasingly manipulated by its ruling elite, is making inroads into popular thinking. Other elements of the economic crisis have much to do with the failure of Pakistan’s ruling elite to get their arithmetic right. This essentially means that there is no obvious ability to begin addressing an ever-growing hole in the country’s coffers. The word budget deficit – the gap between revenue and expenditure, though already in an alarmingly increasing crisis mode, fails to be taken seriously by the country’s top leaders.
Surrounded by this all-too-obvious crisis, what are the choices? To begin with, a democratic government and its democratic opposition ought to start behaving like good democrats. This would not only involve acceptance of the crisis but indeed the initiation of credible steps to begin dealing with that crisis. At the earliest, a comprehensive parliamentary debate is long overdue which will help lay down the cards as they should be laid down. The authorities must not only concede the extent of the crisis but accept responsibility for their failure to address the challenges much earlier. The opposition must end targeting the ruling structure for the sake of it and resolve to join hands with politicians in seeking the best possible solutions.
An end to the continuing political wrangling, squabbling and bickering will be the first step, perhaps a very modest one before getting down to tackling a set of monumental challenges. But given the dire outlook, that first step could begin turning the corner for a country where an increasing number of people have lost hope in their future.

Just likeBora Bora, the Maldives is another tropical paradise that feels like a fantasy world. Hundreds of lush islands, lined with the whitest sandy beaches, and surrounded by the bluest of water; the Malvides is a slice of
heaven. Check out the beautiful photographs below along with information on the world’s lowest country with the ‘lowest high point’ in the world.
- The Maldives, officially Republic of Maldives, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean formed by a double chain of twenty-six atolls stretching in a north-south direction. It stands in the Laccadive Sea, 402 km (250 mi) south-west of India
- The chain of islands is an archipelago, which are in reality the tops of a vast undersea mountain range in the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. The atolls of the Maldives encompass a territory spread over roughly 90,000 square km (34,750 sq miles), making it one of the most dispersed countries in the world in geographic terms
- It features 1,192 islands, of which two hundred are inhabited. The Republic of Maldives’s capital and largest city is Malé, with a population of 103,693 (as of 2006)
- The Maldives are the smallest Asian country in both population and land area. With an average ground level of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) above sea level, it is the lowest country on the planet. It is also the country with the lowest highest point in the world, at 2.3 metres (7 ft 7 in)
- The Indian Ocean has a great effect on the climate of the country by acting as a heat buffer, absorbing, storing, and slowly releasing the tropical heat. The temperature of Maldives ranges between 24 °C (75 °F) and 33 °C (91 °F) throughout the year. Although the humidity is relatively high, the constant cool sea breezes keep the air moving and the heat mitigated
- Two seasons dominate Maldives’ weather: the dry season associated with the winter northeastern monsoon and the rainy season which brings strong winds and storms. The shift from the moist southwest monsoon to the dry northeast monsoon occurs during April and May
- During this period, the northeast winds contribute to the formation of the northeast monsoon, which reaches Maldives in the beginning of June and lasts until the end of August. However, the weather patterns of Maldives do not always conform to the monsoon patterns of South Asia Read more…
