"Jealousy"

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.

'Are you Spoof Proof'






(‘Spoofing’, part of any form of communication (electronic or physical) where the sender inserts/attaches false identity contact information to the communication.)

Hacking of official government websites is also reported to have increased in Pakistan. With the boom in the technology in Pakistan, many consumers are complaining of their accounts being misused or their amount being unduly deducted by the phone companies and many more, all are part of Text/sms spoofs, phone spoofs, URL spoofing, Web spoofing, IP spoofing, email spoofing.

Should “Spoofing” be part of Pakistan’s cyber crime Law?
Yes, it must be.




  • If not Pakistan will become a safe heaven for Cyber Criminals, Cyber Terrorists and all kind of International Crime.


  • It will do a great impact on ‘Pakistan Economy’. This will not only include foreign investors but also local Pakistani IT enabled companies who will have no choice but to move operations abroad due to the enormity of the Security Risk to business and individuals in Pakistan.




  • How Israel Spoofed Syria's Air Defense System.
    Israeli fighters bombed a suspected nuclear materials site in Syria. Here's the million dollar question: How did they do it without tipping off Syria's Russian-bought air defense radar? Radar expert Dave Fulghum over at Aviation Week's Ares blog may have the answer: Israel hacked the network.


    The new facility promises to control this and many other Cyber Crime being committed everyday. But all this depends on when the promised money will come through and whether it will be used for the purpose earmarked.

Stolen Words!

Do you ever feel at your wits end? That no matter how high the mountain, no matter how adept of a climber, that you always lose your footing and end up right where you started?

"The Future Of Ideas"


The Internet revolution has come. Some say it has gone. In The Future of Ideas, Lawrence Lessig explains how the revolution has produced a counterrevolution of potentially devastating power and effect. Creativity once flourished because the Net protected a commons on which widest range of innovators could experiment. But now, manipulating the law for their own purposes, corporations have established themselves as virtual gatekeepers of the Net while Congress, in the pockets of media magnates, has rewritten copyright and patent laws to stifle creativity and progress. Lessig weaves the history of technology and its relevant laws to make a lucid and accessible case to protect the sanctity of intellectual freedom. He shows how the door to a future of ideas is being shut just as technology is creating extraordinary possibilities that have implications for all of us. Vital, eloquent, judicious and forthright, The Future of Ideas is a call to arms that we can ill afford to ignore.
Reviewing the first chapter “Free” Lessig shows how the door to a future of ideas is being shut as technology is creating extraordinary possibilities. The creativity is clogged, as no one has freedom of ideas and freedom of speech. The blindness will harm the environment of innovation. It gives some indication as to why innovation activities and their results are so very limited. As going digital: digital technologies create and replicate reality much more efficiently than non digital technology by decreasing production cost. The great difference between capitalism and socialism was thus perceived as the mere elimination of the private property character of capital, or as the complete monopolization of capital under centralized government control, which would serve no longer the specific interests of the capitalist class but the whole of society.
Free resources have always been central to innovation, creativity, and democracy.
Production and consumption are sides of a coin, the essence of balance. They form the basis of economics – without consumption, production is pointless, and vice versa, examples:
In labor, the producer enjoys the effort which makes the holiday possible, the consumer enjoys the holiday itself.
In troubleshooting, the producer enjoys getting to the root of the problem, the consumer enjoys it when the problem is solved.
Free resources have been crucial to innovation and creativity; that without them, creativity cripples.
