There was news circulating the social media about the participation of the famous Canadian pop-star, Justin Bieber in the upcoming edition of HBL PSL 2017. While it has received a mixed kind-of reaction from the fans, the official PSL twitter handle has denied the news just recently. The statement from the PSL said:

“Opening of #HBLPSL 2017 is set to be bigger & better. However, news reports of a certain international pop star set to perform are false.”

PSL 2nd edition promises to be a more glamorous event than the last year, which was a great show of efforts put in by the PCB. The world renowned singer’s fans would have loved his performance, whereas others, the not-fans have welcomed the news of Bieber not performing at the PSL opening ceremony.

Bigger and better, that’s what the official statement said about the Pakistan’s biggest cricketing event of the year 2017. Another tweet from the same account said that the news regarding Nasir Khan Jan’s performance at the opening ceremony is true. I’m not sure how many of us know his name, I certainly don’t. Considering the fact that the last year’s ceremony went just about perfect, we all would hope to see the same this time around.

Let’s see what PSL has to offer in this edition’s opening ceremony, whoever performs, whatever happens, the Pakistani fans are eagerly waiting for the mega event. With the last year’s event becoming a success, this one promises to be more entertaining and more glamorous. There will be more big names this year, to add to the charm of the already-splendid event.

If you’re a Android user, chances are you’ve also tried the “Google” search. The search app, as the name says, let’s you search the content and also let you order your phone some commands to perform specific actions. All this can be done through your voice, without even any need to touch it.

But do you know Google stores all the voice searches and voice commands you feed to its ubiquitous platform in the form of audio recordings on its servers. It also keeps track of all your Google searches on the Chrome, YouTube and Playstore. Kinda scary, right?

Google says it is keeping all the information as a part of its data-collection practices, and the Voice & Audio Activity page is just an effort on the company’s part to be more transparent about said practices. Notwithstanding, some of you may not be satisfied with this policy.

But fret not – there is a way you can delete all of your previous search history and disallow Google to track you further.

My Activity

To access all your recorded activities; go to myactivity.google.com and login into your Google account. A page presenting all your search history and voice interactions will appear, allowing you to delete it from the scratch. Next, click on the three-dotted menu appearing on the top right and click on ‘delete acitivty by’. It will take you to a page where you will be given option to delete the hisotry by ‘date’, ‘product’ or ‘topic’.

How To Disallow Google From Spying On You

Headover to MyActivity main page, and click on ‘Acitivity Controls’. There, you will be greeted with few options, allowing you to manage and control your activities which includes:

Web & App Activity
Location History
Voice and Audio History
YouTube Watch History

South Korean Car Maker “KIA Motors” To Re-Enter Pakistani Market

South Korean car maker “KIA motors” has decided to re-enter into the Pakistani market. According to resources, KIA motors local partner – Lucky Cement is ready to invest Rs12 billion ($115 million) to set up a plant and manufacture the Kia vehicles.

Lucky Cement, which is a part of business conglomerate by Yunus Brothers Group has allocated a proposed equity investment of up to Rs 12 billion, divided into 1,200 million shares (Rs 10 per share). The company has finalized its all paperwork, a notice of LUCK at PSX said here on Thursday.

Kia did not make it clear if they themselves would invest in the venture. Representatives for the South Korean company could not immediately be reached for comment.

The South Korean’s car giant entry into the market isn’t new. They used to assemble cars in Pakistan in the past but disappointing sales led to a halt in manufacturing.

However, the new venture will deal with manufacturing, assembling, marketing, distribution, sale, after-sales service, import and export of all types of KIA cars in Pakistan.

“The new venture will also market and sell besides import and export of ‘all types of Kia vehicles, parts and accessories,”

Lucky Cement told the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) in a statement.

Kia’s re-entry into the market will strongly affect the car market in Pakista, and will give tough competition to the market dominants: Toyota, Honda and Suzuki, who have been assembling cars in Pakistan with their local partners.

Some big names like Audi and BMW are already operating in Pakistan, and now, last month, French carmaker Renault also agreed to invest in a new factory in Pakistan.

The authorities believes extended competition shsould bring down the fancy car prices in the state. In March, the government also introduced a new auto policy favouring new entrants into the market by offering generous import duties. The incentives have caused an uproar in the current market participants, some of whom believes they should get similar terms.

YouTube – that has been a part of huge controversy back in late 2012 due to the derogatory content that was available on it. The hate-mongering videos were later filtered and made unaccessible by the PTA and the related authorities of Pakistan as part of its campaign to block the sites containing content it considers to be blasphemous, anti-Islamic, or threatening to internal security.

In late 2016, YouTube has made a solid comeback and people have been enjoying it since forever. On Thursday, YouTube has released a list of most watched videos in Pakistan in 2016, and without any surprise Taher Shah has managed to make it to the list!
