  • Is Ihsan Ullah the next Shoaib Akhtar?

    Is Ihsan Ullah the next Shoaib Akhtar?

    Pakistan Super League (PSL) pick, right hand pacer Ihsan Ullah had a fabulous debut against Afghanistan in the three match T20 series held in United Arab Emirates. In the first match, at Sharjah cricket stadium, Ihsan Ullah picked two wickets in his debut over.

    Ihsan Ullah is the product of PSL franchise Multan Sultans and had a great tournament, becoming one of the leading wicket takers of the PSL 8th season. His recent domestic performance was enough to earn a pick for the Afghanistan series at Sharjah.

    Despite losing the first two matches, the men in green managed to prevent a whitewash. Pakistan team bowlers defended a total of 183 runs in the last T20I at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday.

    The only pacer who bowled magnificently in all the three matches and stood out was Ihsan ullah.

    During the 11th over of the third T20 the pacer left Najibullah’s chin bleeding with a sharp bouncer, preventing the player from continuing the match.

    Najibullah was stable but could not resume his innings.

    Soon, Ihsanullah’s delivery went viral as social media users began comparing the firey bowler with former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar, who was known for his aggressive bowling style.

    Netizens gushed over Ihsanullah, saying the young fast bowler reminded them of the Pakistani great fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar.

  • Google announces launch of 8gbps internet service

    Google announces launch of 8gbps internet service

    Google Fiber’s unexpected return will result in a significant increase in internet speeds. Google has disclosed that it will offer 5 Gbps and 8 Gbps subscriptions in early 2023.

    Symmetric upload and download rates, a WiFi 6 router, and up to two mesh network extenders will be included in both levels. According to the corporation, the changes should aid in large file transfers while minimising lag and jittering.

    Customers in Kansas City and Utah can test the faster plans as early as November if they sign up to become ‘trusted’ testers. If they qualify, Google will ask how they intend to use the additional bandwidth, according to The Verge.

    This is a significant improvement over Google’s previous-best 2 Gbps service, which was introduced in 2020, and it might make a significant impact if you’re a gamer or rely on cloud computing. If a 150 GB Microsoft Flight Simulator download takes 11 minutes at 2 Gbps, the 8 Gbps plan might reduce that time to under three minutes under perfect conditions.

    It certainly makes ordinary cable internet plans appear costly. Comcast, for example, already provides 6 Gbps service in select regions, but it costs $300 per month on contract and does not yet provide symmetric uploads.

    In any case, the new plans are a statement of intent. Along with the first network additions in five years, the faster speeds indicate that Google is returning to Fiber’s beginnings. That is, it is raising expectations for truly fast internet access while also (to some extent) increasing competition among incumbent providers.

    Of course, this might help Google promote its other services, but you might not mind if it offers telcos an extra incentive to push out ’10G’ and other comparable upgrades sooner than they otherwise would.

  • Here’s a look at the world’s first V12 supercar from ’60s

    Here’s a look at the world’s first V12 supercar from ’60s

    When the Lamborghini Miura first appeared in 1966, it set new records as the world’s fastest production vehicle. The Miura set the standard for sports cars at the time, achieving a top speed of 280 km/h and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. It is widely regarded as the first supercar.

    Ferruccio Lamborghini founded his sports car company in an attempt to compete with Ferrari. His first car, the 350GT, launched in 1964 and was instantaneously praised as a worthy rival to modern Ferrari grand tourers. But it was his second car, the mid-engined Miura, that really hurt Maranello.

    Miura held a unique place in automotive history. It was regarded as the world’s first “supercar,” a term coined by automotive writer LJK Setright to describe this vehicle’s exotic appearance, advanced design, and incredible performance. The latter may have been overstated by Lamborghini, who initially claimed it could reach 300 km/h.

    The Miura was dubbed a supercar for its advanced mid-engined design. At the time, mid-engined setups were thought to be either impossible or unnecessary for road cars (among them included Enzo Ferrari). Prior to the Lamborghini, a few cars attempted to use it on the road, but the majority of them were actually road-legal race cars, such as the 1954 Porsche 550 Spyder or 1964 Ford GT40.

    Only the De Tomaso Vallelunga, which debuted a year before Miura, was a true mid-engined road car. Of course, the 4-cylinder De Tomaso was not a supercar. Lamborghini was the first to use a mid-engine in a serious performance vehicle.

    The most significant contribution Miura made to history was launching a two-horse supercar race between Lamborghini and Ferrari. In 1969, Ferrari reclaimed the world’s fastest car title from Miura with the Daytona 365GTB/4.

    In 1974, Lamborghini responded with the even more ambitious Countach, and Ferrari responded with the 365/512BB. In 2022, the ‘supercar war’ is still going on.

  • Apple to launch new Macs with next-generation M2 chips

    Apple to launch new Macs with next-generation M2 chips

    Apple is planning to release the next-generation Apple Silicon chip for its laptops, almost two years after introducing the first Macs using its own silicon. The company is presently testing third-party programmes on at least nine new Mac models equipped with an M2 processor.

    Unreleased Macs have been spotted in app logs, to sources familiar with the situation, implying that Apple is currently conducting final tests on the new PCs before revealing them to the public. The new M2 processor will be used in all new Macs, which are slated to be released later this year.

    A MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini with an M2 chip; new MacBook Pros with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips; and a Mac Pro with an Apple Silicon chip ‘successor to the M1 Ultra processor’. Apple has been working on the new Macs for a while now.

    Surprisingly, it appears that Apple is still testing a new Mac mini with the M1 Pro CPU seen in the current MacBook Pro generation. Apple had planned to release high-end versions of the present Mac mini with the M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs, according to 9to5Mac’s sources, but they were likely canceled to make way for the Mac Studio.

    The Studio Display firmware contains references to a new Mac mini model, thus it’s probable that at least some of these Macs will be released soon. Apple could unveil two new Macs in June at WWDC 2022.
