A
 group of friends plan to head out to a riding resort a few kilometers 
away from the great city of Lahore. Their mode of transport is a 
privately owned vehicle and their direction guide is a mobile phone with
 internet connectivity. Technology and telecom make reaching any place a
 piece of cake.<br />

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Technology makes navigation easy</span></h4>
Technology has permeated all areas of our life. Whether it is brewing
 a fresh cup of coffee from the coffee maker in the morning, getting to 
work on time, purchasing property or home appliances, technological 
advancements have made life easier for all of us in different ways.<br />

One such advancement is the introduction of navigation systems in 
automobiles. These ensure that you will never lose your way again.<br />

There are complete navigation systems
 which are fixed on the dash of the car. These make use of global 
positioning system (GPS) devices which pinpoint the longitude and 
latitude of the vehicle.<br />

The system is preloaded with road data and a number of options. These
 are then used to provide the user with directions. In addition, these 
navigation systems also provide route management which helps people 
select the quickest traffic-free route to their destination.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
In Pakistan, one can avail this feature offered by car makers Toyota 
and Honda by paying an additional fee. These are fixed on to the car’s 
main dash panel <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>and provide easy access and 
control to the driver. Suzuki motors Pakistan has introduced integrated 
navigation system and rear camera in the Swift DLX and Swift Automatic. 
Moreover, there are a number of other multi-media options such as 
playback, USB and Bluetooth connectivity.<br />

<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">A type of navigation – Telecom and Smart apps </span></h4>
The widespread use of smart-phone provides stiff competition to the 
prevailing navigation system options both fixed and portable devices. 
Mobile developers have introduced applications which perform the exact 
same service while connected to the internet via cellular service. This 
results in increased business for the telecom sector.<br />

In this day and age, cities are expanding rapidly. If you once knew 
the exact location and directions to a place, that is no longer the 
situation. Construction of new resorts and developments within cities, 
on main expressways or city outskirts has facilitated the need for 
having up-to-date and agile navigation systems.<br />

A number of people today use their private transport to visit new 
destinations and no one wants to get lost in the wilderness. Using 
mobile phones and smart applications – Google Maps for instance — to 
navigate one’s way around the city or to a resort a few kilometers away 
has changed the way people travel now.<br />

These navigation tools are usually bandwidth hungry apps, meaning 
that a ripe area for the telcos to explore. Car riders usually stay away
 from such navigation apps due to high data costs, and this is where 
exactly is the potential for the cellular companies.<br />

It is largely assumed that tons of subscribers can be fetched if 
cellular companies consider offering data bundles specifically for 
navigation apps only, like they are doing for chat apps, Facebook etc..<br />

On a side note, technology also helps you chose the vehicle you want 
to drive, whether you want a sedan, a hatchback or a sporty 4WD websites
 like <a href="http://www.carmudi.pk/" target="_blank">carmudi.pk</a> will help you in your decision making.<br />

Lenovo Announces Successors to its Two Most-Popular Laptops

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Lenovo has announced the successors to its two most-popular Windows laptops at CES 2014, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and the Yoga 2.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsR9qEURDSrrFBZbwhak-aATE5T2NWs5irpzfvy8lX_HMWrxHRtOt8kww0HiNCHNE6l1PKq4PUBqnB3bS0sR_c_z2mjfzaTTQxpiGOLpDLapM6cjiejGAr7INZ-GgcbZSOcA-lUr0zwgY/s1600/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Carbon.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsR9qEURDSrrFBZbwhak-aATE5T2NWs5irpzfvy8lX_HMWrxHRtOt8kww0HiNCHNE6l1PKq4PUBqnB3bS0sR_c_z2mjfzaTTQxpiGOLpDLapM6cjiejGAr7INZ-GgcbZSOcA-lUr0zwgY/s1600/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Carbon.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></h4>
The new flagship laptop by Lenovo still comes in an exotic carbon 
fiber package. It is also just 0.68″ thick and 2.8 pounds heavy. A 14″ 
display can still be found with 1600 x 900 resolution, but a touchscreen
 option with resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels can also be found. <br />

Underneath, a Core i5 or i7 processor can be found, along with 
Intel’s HD 4400 Graphics, 4 GB worth memory and a 128 GB SSD (up to 512 
GB can be brought).
<br />
Also you can get quite a few connectivity options, including 
HDMI, 2 USB 3.0 ports, mini DisplayPort and OneLink Pro. Lenovo has also
 added Voice Control, NFC and Gesture Control.
<br />
Yet, the biggest change in the new version of Lenovo’s popular 
Ultrabook comes in its keyboard. Gone are the legendary function keys 
from the top. Their place has been taken by a strip of capacitive keys, 
with options such as search, brightness, magnification, screenshot and 
more. And it is always adapting to the work you’re doing. The red 
TrackPoint is still there, and so is the button-less TrackPad. 
<br />
The laptop is available for $1299 right now.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Lenovo Yoga 2</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRqhj_Ei5MEf_BgSdaX7LsGbfE3mwGgM_zCGE_nLa0OBa6VaQ-6zScWDZGDjx9tlESpSsMHKIWNbqqiTAYmXA7P2o0lsMRsre_kew3m68dJJ0NsNygR3I-U96BKiAzlOpeAKQThfbxaJY/s1600/Lenovo-Yoga-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRqhj_Ei5MEf_BgSdaX7LsGbfE3mwGgM_zCGE_nLa0OBa6VaQ-6zScWDZGDjx9tlESpSsMHKIWNbqqiTAYmXA7P2o0lsMRsre_kew3m68dJJ0NsNygR3I-U96BKiAzlOpeAKQThfbxaJY/s1600/Lenovo-Yoga-2.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></h4>
The Yoga is one of the company’s most popular line-ups and has seen 
an addition too. The new Yoga 2 lies in the mid-budget category and will
 be available in either 11 or 13 inch models.
<br />
The smaller model comes with full-blown Windows 8.1, touchscreen 
and a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It is powered by an Intel Atom 
Bay Trail processor with a 500 GB hard drive, 4 GB RAM and 6 hour long 
battery life. It weighs around 2.9lbs and will be available for $529.
<br />
The larger 13 inch version will come with a touch-enabled display
 with Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This Yoga 2 will be 
getting an Intel Core i5 processor with a 500 GB hybrid drive and 8 GB 
RAM. It weighs 3.5 pounds and will come at a much more tough-to-swallow,
 $999. 
<br />
However, none of them will replace the older (and better) $1100 Yoga 2 Pro as of now.</div>

<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
On the surface, it may look the same with its 6.1″ 720p HD display, but on the inside, the hardware does have a boost.<br />

The display also features Gorilla Glass coating. The design still 
remains quite commonplace though, with the phone being 9.5mm thick and 
202g in weight.
<br />
What isn’t bland is the spec sheet. The processor is now 
available in two versions: either a SnapDragon 400 one clocked at 1.6Ghz
 or Huawei’s own HiSilicon Cortex-A9, with a Adreno 306. Amount of RAM 
is set at 2 GB, with 16 GB worth internal storage, along with a microSD 
card slot.
<br />
At the back is a 13 megapixel with f/2.0 aperture and 1080p Full 
HD video, coupled with a 5 mp camera at the front. For connectivity, you
 have microUSB 2.0, USB-OTG, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE and Bluetooth 4.0.
<br />
The phone is powered by a 4050 mAh battery. What’s more, is that it can also charge other phones. Here are the full specs:
<br />
<ul>
<li>Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Emotion UI
</li>
<li>6.1″ display with 720p resolution and Gorilla Glass

Samsung Announces a New NotePRO and Three TabPRO Tablets

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Samsung has announced 4 tablets at the CES 2014 in Las Vegas. These 
include the NotePRO 12.2 and the Galaxy TabPROs 8.4, 10.1 and 12.2.<br />
<div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
The tablets include Samsung’s new homescreen interface called 
Magazine UI, which includes tiles of apps and your favourite content.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Galaxy NotePRO 12.2</span></h4>
As expected, the highlight of the bunch is the NotePro 12.2, which is
 the largest member of the entire Note line-up. As you would expect, it 
has an S-Pen slot at the back with the same leathery-finish on the back.
<br />
The display comes with a WQXGA resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. 
Underneath, you’ll get either a SnapDragon 800 or Samsung’s Exynos 5 
Octa processor.
<br />
Alongside it will be Adreno 330, 3 GB RAM and 32 or 64 GB 
expandable storage. Towards the back is an 8 megapixel camera with Full 
HD video capture at either 60fps or 30fps, depending on the version.
<br />
Connectivity options include IR Blaster, microUSB 3.0, Wi-Fi 
802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0, with a 4G version being in the pipeline as 
well. The OS running is Android 4.4 KitKat.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Galaxy TabPRO 12.2, 10.1, 8.4</span></h4>
The remaining three tablets, the Galaxy TabPROs 12.2, 10.1 and 8.4 
are all almost entirely the same, with the major difference amongst them
 being the varying screen sizes.
<br />
The largest of the lot, the Galaxy TabPRO 12.2 features 
specifications completely similar to the NotePRO 12.2, with a 12.2″ 
WQXGA resolution, SnapDragon 800/Exynos Octa 5 processor, 3 GB RAM, 
32/64 GB expandable storage and an 8 megapixel rear-camera. There’s no 
S-Pen, of course.
<br />
The TabPRO 10.1 features a substantially smaller display, again 
with WQXGA, but this time with 2 GB RAM, 16/32 GB storage and 8220 mAh 
battery.
<br />
The TabPRO 8.4 also retains the maddeningly high resolution but 
there’s only one choice as for the processor here, the SnapDragon 800 
one. The amount of battery storage is also smaller, at 4800 mAh. 
<br />
The tablets  will be released in the first quarter of 2014. Pricing isn’t announced for either of them yet.</div>

<br />
<b>Update (7:00 PM Tuesday, January 7, 2014 GMT):</b> The Pakistani Hacker confirmed is that has uploaded a PHP shell on the forum server using his own Private <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="62a9c552-6ccd-419c-8965-89a19cfdd134"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="a8bba46e-c694-40e2-bd25-d6583f01da66">vBulletin's</span></span> zero-day exploit, that allows him to browse, read or write/overwrite any file on the Forum server without root privileges.<br />
<br />
There are a few screenshots shared by hacker with us:</div>

to the user's database, however he has promised not to disclose the 
database dump because the purpose of the hack is only to highlight the 
security weakness.<br />

Another important claim by RexHacker that <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="38cb359d-5adb-41c0-a153-e49942f14719">vBulletin</span>
 5.0.5 latest version is also vulnerable to his zero-day exploit and 
there is no patch yet available to fix it. He noticed that after our 
news report, the Server administrator has removed the defaced page, but 
to proof his <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" id="07b194f9-8713-40c0-8a19-9d567462e806">exploit</span> he has uploaded another file on the server again:</span></div>

<span class="main-article-info"></span>After openSUSE's tweet, RexHacker has shared some sample database screenshots on his Facebook 
account to prove the database hack. We have partially blur the 
screenshot before sharing, to keep sensitive data secure, as shown 
above.

Update (4:00 AM Wednesday, January 8, 2014 GMT): In a blog post, 
openSUSE team confirmed that their website and database have been 
hacked, but users' passwords are not compromised.

A cracker managed to exploit a vulnerability in the forum software 
which made it possible to upload files and gave access to the forum 
database.

The team explained, they are using single-sign-on system (Access Manager
 from NetIQ) that manage the real passwords.

Credentials for your openSUSE login are not saved in our application
 databases as we use a single-sign-on system (Access Manager from NetIQ)
 for all our services. This is a completely separate system and it has 
not been compromised by this crack. What the cracker reported as 
compromised passwords where indeed random, automatically set strings 
that are in no way connected to your real password.</div>
