On this years (21st) death anniversary of Faiz Ahmed Faiz(which was on 20th November)

Im gonna be honest with you. IF I had my hands on an Xbox right at this moment… I would have promptly sold it to the dudes/dudettes bidding like mad on eBay. Check out these auctions for an item that retails for $399!!

If you think $3,000 too much to pay then $910 might be up your alley!! Check the most recent listings to see the prices.

Do you wiggle out of your warm cozy bed occasionally to see the world outside?
Are you literate enough to read a newspaper or watch news?
Do you know how to take pictures?
Can you type?
Do you want to write for Islamabad?

If the answer to any one of these questions is YES, then step forward and join the ever growing Islamabad Chapter of the Metroblogging family. We’re looking forward to making valuable additions to our team and if you think you have the flair and the knack to be a part of this family, now is the time.

PS: No we don’t get paid for our work out here! Sorry to burst your bubbles ladies and gents! ;)

Uzair Paracha, a young Pakistani national, accused of trying to help Al Qaeda operative Majid Khan slip past US immigration officials told a Manhattan jury that investigators had pressurized him into making a false confession.

For people like me who are savvy on gadgets, hi-tech consoles, and any thing fast and flashy (no pun intended), the news of XBOX 360 hitting the markets is not some thing to sit up an take notice of! It’s actually some thing worth getting up and doing some thing about!!!

Will it stay afloat?
Industry analysts and executives said the early buzz around the Xbox 360 might not mean much in the long term. Analysts have widely expected Microsoft to sell out its early, limited supplies of the console, but to eventually sell 10 million of them with relative ease.
The real question for Microsoft is whether the 360 can outsell the first version of the Xbox, which came out in 2001 and has sold about 22 million worldwide, compared with about 90 million for PlayStation 2
So many questions that can only be answered in times to come.

As for now, let the games begin!
