  • Samsung’s new robotic mouse will run away if you overwork

    Samsung’s new robotic mouse will run away if you overwork

    Samsung has introduced a brand-new computer mouse that isn’t like any other mouse and was made specifically to prevent people from overworking.

    When you start working a lot, the mouse, the Samsung Balance Mouse, takes off from the desk. This is undoubtedly true, but Samsung’s new computer mouse not only functions like a real mouse but also appears to be one. The mouse, however, is still a concept mouse that was developed in partnership with an advertising agency, thus it is not yet for sale.

    On Samsung’s Korean YouTube channel, a video demonstrating the Samsung Balance Mouse has been posted. Improving the work-life balance in Korea was the main motivation behind the design of the Balance mouse. In its ad, Samsung claimed that most office workers are reluctant to leave early.

    People are constantly under enormous pressure to finish their unfinished business before leaving the office. They occasionally have a lot of extra work to do.

    In the video, Samsung claims to have developed a device that will address the issue of overworking. The manufacturer claims that although it looks like a regular mouse, it can prevent users from working longer than is necessary.

    The wheels emerge from the body and flee when the opportunity arises because it recognises hand gestures, according to Samsung in the video. The video also explains that you are very mistaken if you believe you can simply grab the mouse as it tries to flee.

    The mouse moves too quickly, which is why. Even if you do succeed in grabbing the object, the mouse’s central component ejects. By purchasing the Balance Mouse, Samsung encourages people to enjoy their lives outside of work.

  • Imran Khan to be indicted on Sept 22, response deemed ‘unsatisfactory’ by court

    Imran Khan to be indicted on Sept 22, response deemed ‘unsatisfactory’ by court

    The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday decided to indict Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on September 22 after he failed to submit an unconditional apology in contempt of court proceedings against him for passing controversial remarks against Additional District and Sessions Judge Zeba Chaudhry.

    “Imran Khan’s response was unsatisfactory”. said IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah, who is heading a five-member bench — comprising Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangir, and Justice Babar Sattar — that heard the case.

    Justice Athar Minal­lah observed that Khan’s replies to the court’s show-cause notice appeared to be “Justifying contempt of the judiciary” and showed “No remorse or regret”.

    Justice Minallah went on to ask why the judges of the lower courts were considered different to those of higher courts. “You are justifying contempt of court which means that you have no remorse or regret,” the judge observed.

    Expressing his disappointment in the response given by Khan to the court, which was the second of its kind, the court asked: “Even after the court’s input on the matter, this is the response submitted?”

    “It seems you want to fight this case […] and you have no realisation that the case against you is extremely seriously,” noted Justice Minallah.

    Declaring subordinate judiciary a ‘red line’, IHC CJ Minallah warned the PTI chairman that threatening a district judge is a more serious offence than a Supreme Court justice.

    Before appearing for the hearing, the PTI chairman told journalists that he would become “more dangerous” if the government decides to send him behind bars.

    “They have been trying to [put me in jail for long now]. I will be more dangerous if they send me to jail,” Khan said to media, confidently smiling ahead of the hearing.

    Hours before the proceeding, Khan filed a new plea at the high court. He argued that the high court cannot exercise suo moto jurisdiction as per the Constitution. The arguments on the inadmissibility of the contempt case should be kept on record.

    “The written arguments will also be explained in the oral arguments during the course of the proceedings,” read the plea.

    A day earlier to the proceedings, Khan submitted a fresh response to the contempt of court case, in which in he expressed deep regret for his words.

  • ‘Jis ne Nawaz Sharif ko vote deeya, woh Allah ke farman ke khilaf jayega’: Imran Khan

    ‘Jis ne Nawaz Sharif ko vote deeya, woh Allah ke farman ke khilaf jayega’: Imran Khan

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, addressing a rally in Chishtian, said, “Agar ap ne Nawaz Sharif ko vote toh matlab ap mujrim ko vote de rahy hai. Is ka matlab ap burai ke sath khary hai. Is ka matlab ke ap Allah ke farman ke khilaf ja rahy hai.” (People who vote for PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif will be siding with a convict and are on the wrong side. This also means that you will go against Allah’s orders.)

    This is not the first time that PTI leader has played religious card against opponents or has mentioned religion in his speeches.

    Another time, while addressing his supporters, he said “You have to spread my message to the public just like the prophets of Allah did”.

    The former prime minister once also said that those who defected from his party [PTI] committed shirk. Shirk, or infidelity to God, is considered a severe sin in Islam.

    “Those who do wrong things to save their jobs commit sin, it is shirk [idolatry]. Those who sell their self-respect and themselves, it is also counted as shirk because Allah is Al-Haqq”, he said.

    Moreover, in Chishtian, the PTI leader said Chishtian is not a stronghold of the PML-N as it claims.

    “We make the country’s biggest robbers prime ministers. Today, the people ruling the country have been robbing the country for 30 years,” he reiterated.

    He once again accused the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and said that the body is a “Pet of the coalition government”.

    Clarifying his earlier remarks against the Pakistan Army, Khan said that “this country is mine and so is the army”.

    Saboor revealed that Khushhal is five years younger than her and being cast opposite him definitely felt like being Bollywood’s Khans who work with extremely younger leading ladies. Khushhal is a newcomer in the industry and he has just started his career. People loved watching his pairing with Saboor.

    Saboor Aly Drops Shocking Pictures With Khushhal Khan, Leaves Fans in Awe

    Earlier this month, the Fitrat star took to her Instagram stories to share her stance on a viral blooper video from the latest episode of her drama Mushkil.

    Saboor also took a dig at the drama’s editor.

    Recently social media users paused and screen-recorded a scene where Faraz (Khushhal Khan) is fighting with his brother while his wife Sameen (Saboor) is seen laughing in the frame, completely out of character. She snaps back to the character immediately but even the editing department couldn’t cut out the error.

    The clip went viral immediately and then started a plethora of memes on the micro-blogging site. Exposing Saboor’s hilarious acting slip, a fan wrote that it was easily their “favourite” bit from the show. “My favourite bit from the entire show is these guys fighting for life and then the camera pans to Saboor and the girl is out of her character, laughing.”

    Another netizen blamed the editing team for not being “paid enough” to see the slip-up.

    Based on an estranged equation between three friends navigating through love and life, the Marina Khan directorial Mushkil has been a household favourite for various reasons with the top one being Saboor and Khushhal’s chemistry.

    The premier emphasised the need for a “sustainable system” to cope with the challenges of climate change.

    He said trillions are needed for relief and rehabilitation activities post floods. “We will need trillions of rupees to cope with this calamity”, he observed.

    “The country is grappling with an unprecedented situation, witnessing floods that have resulted in the loss of lives, infrastructure and crops,” he said, adding that it was time to “rise above politics and demonstrate the spirit of service and welfare.”

    The Premier announced that a sum provided by a philanthropist for flood relief would be used for installing 100 prefabricated houses in DI Khan.

  • Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s controversial audio tape with a woman gets leaked

    Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar’s controversial audio tape with a woman gets leaked

    Senior writer-director Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar has landed in hot waters due to his leaked audio tape with an anonymous woman.

    In the conversation, the woman, whose identity remains uncertain, can be heard saying that as per their mutual understanding, she wanted to meet him; however, her skeptical husband didn’t let it happen.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xrugolax4g

    The women even told him that after that, her relationship with her husband had turned soar and they were not talking to each other.

    Thus, she attempted to convince Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar to have belief in her and also told that if he agreed, she would send him her picture showing that she was ready to step outside of her house to meet him but the writer scolded her and even used explicit words.

    Qamar has married twice – initially to Rubi Naz and later to Rozina Qureshi.

    Recently actress Resham shared her stance on Khalil-ur-Rehman and Mahira Khan’s controversy on Tabish Hashmi’s show Hasna Mana Hai.

    On being asked by the host about her opinion on the writer, Resham said that he is talented when it comes to story telling, however his comments about top actress Mahira Khan are derogatory.

    “He said that he regrets signing Mahira for Sadqay Tumhare, but who is he to sign her?,” she asked.

    It is the producer or the channel’s call to hire an actor and that too of Mahira’s stature. Khalil is just the writer and doesn’t hold the autonomy on over the project’s casting.

    The Naagin star also said that that Qamar likes to connect his name to established stars particularly females to get clout on media.

    Previously Resham took to her Instagram handle to write a scathing comment for Qamar after the latter commented on the Masjid-e-Nabvi incident involving PMLN leaders.

    The Jeeva star said that Khalil has gone mad and he needs to admitted to a mental hospital before he starts biting everyone with his poisonous teeth.

    Writer-Director Khalil-ur-Rehman recently took to his twitter handle to share his take on the Masjid e Nabvi incident involving PML-N. 

    He asked that when was this ordered that we can’t term a thief as one at the holy place?
