Nokia turns to former Microsoft man
Nokia has struggled to compete in the smartphone market under Kallasvuo's leadership.

9 awesome slacker jobs you could actually have
It’s almost a universal truth that if you’re unhappy with your job, there’s a good chance you’re probably not as happy with life in general as you could be. Everyone has their own opinion on what the perfect dream job entails, but some of those require big fancy degrees and incredibly long hours. And let’s be honest, a lot of Guyism readers (myself included) may not have the chops to cut it as a heart surgeon or fighter pilot. So, here are nine awesome slacker jobs. I have no idea how one acquires some of these jobs, but

I may sing with Chris Martin or John Mayer: Atif Aslam
It makes perfect sense. Aslam, whose debut single with Goher Mumtaz – “Aadat” – made him an overnight star, instantly jumped onto doing concerts (and began reportedly charging prices that shocked concert promoters).
Aslam is now a huge star in India and in Pakistan, and is full of optimism that things will get back to normal. His work with Cordola is the talk of the music industry and the blogosphere.
“It just kind of happened,” Aslam tells The Express Tribune. “We recorded a couple of songs and Lanny has supported us all the way. The idea to collaborate with a lot of musicians is because abroad people just see trash and terrorism (about Pakistan) and he wanted to make a documentary and tell people why Pakistan is a lot more than what we see. We went to Charsadda and Swat as

Pak trio heading home amid scandal
 Police say the three Pakistan cricketers questioned over fixing allegations are flying home. London Metropolitan Police say the players have promised to return to England to assist with the investigation “in due course.” Test captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were questioned by police last week.

Facebook inches past Google for Web users’ minutes
 New data shows that US Web surfers are spending more time socializing on Facebook than searching with Google. In August, people spent a total of 41.1 million minutes on Facebook, about 9.9 percent of their Web-surfing minutes for the month, researchers at comScore Inc. say. That just barely surpassed the 39.8 million minutes, or 9.6 percent, people spent on all of Google Inc.’s sites combined, including YouTube, the free Gmail e-mail program, Google news and other content sites.

Sony's PSP Go post-mortem continues, Kaz Hirai concedes 'pricing is perhaps an issue'
We're still perplexed by the PSP Go's failure. Who doesn't want to pay more for a device that lacks the hardware to play UMD games, only compatible with downloadable versions that release days or weeks later and then cost more to boot? Sony's Andrew House stepped up in June to put a positive spin on the situation, saying the PSP Go helped them "learn more about what the consumer wanted" -- something they obviously didn't do before shipping the thing. Now Sony Computer Entertainment President Kaz Hirai is giving a similar angle in an interview with MCV, addressing concerns of both price and content availability:...we did get a lot of feedback, both good and bad. I think we need to make sure we have as many titles available to

US Open: Nadal advances to semi-finals
Top seed Rafael Nadal advanced to the US Open semi-finals by defeating eighth-seeded Spanish compatriot Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday, stretching his Grand Slam win streak to 19 matches.
Nadal, seeking his first US Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, will play Saturday for a finals berth against Russian 12th seed Mikhail Youzhny, who outlasted Swiss 25th seed Stanislas Wawrinka 3-6, 7-6 (9/7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
World number one Nadal reached his third consecutive US Open semi-final but has never reached the championship match, losing to Britain’s Andy Murray in 2008 and eventual winner Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina last year.
Nadal, 24, seeks his ninth career Grand Slam title and third in a row in 2010 after Wimbledon and the French Open. Only Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Rod Laver have won three Slams in a row in the Open Era that began in 1968.
Swiss second seed Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam champion, and Serbian third seed Novak Djokovic meet in the other semi-final. Both were off Thursday but barring rain Nadal must

Rethink Coke Studio
Coke studio season 3
What was the first thought that came to your mind when you read the first line? Trying to get into to your brains I can know one thing, if you are Pakistani then most probably you’ve labeled it as a flop and waste of time. After analysis of the #cokestudio topic on twitter one can see that for Indian listeners it still is very much happening for them (and these are the people which Pakistanis themselves believe are more knowledgeable in music). It is a realized fact that bands, solo artists and shows have to constantly evolve to keep listener-ship/viewership intact and add new ones, a fact mostly not understood by the Pakistani audience. The genre for this season was mostly Sufi, there was folk and a dash of spice with

Kindly note that Shahid Kapoor is a typical Muslim: Shahid Kapoor
Ironically speaking Shahid Kapur not only happens to be the product of a broken home, his parents Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azim having parted ways long ago on differences of opinion, but also a victim of culture clashes and religious divides of Islamic and Hinduism.But when questioned about this he emphatically retorts, “No I was not at all affected by their separation neither am I a victim of culture clashes or the religious divides of Islamic and Hinduism.
For the simple reason that right since my childhood I have always considered myself as a typical Muslim as my mom Neelima Azim and my Nanihal’s (Maternal ancestors) Islamic influence has been too strong and too powerful enough to cause any other religious diversion in my mind.” And when SHAHEEN RAAJ asked SHAHID KAPOOR to share his views and opinions about ‘Ramzan’ and ‘Religion’ he readily agreed with an instant reaction of just one word, “Shoot”.
To begin with how about revealing the secrets of your own religious beliefs?
Come on! What kind of secrets are you talking about? Religion can never be a secret. All religions may not be like open books yet believe it or not but Islamic religion is the only religion, which has no hidden secrets.
All its basic tenets and principals are clearly mentioned in the holy book – ‘The Koran’. Not only this it is not necessary for a person to know Arabic, he can read and learn to
Quran burning canceled, but deal on mosque near Ground Zero may not be settled
 Florida preacher backed off and then threatened to reconsider burning the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, angrily accusing a Muslim leader of lying to him on Thursday with a promise to move an Islamic center and mosque away from New York’s ground zero. The imam planning the center denied there was ever such a deal. The Rev. Terry Jones generated an international firestorm with his plan to burn the Quran on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and he has been under intense pressure to give it up. President Barack Obama urged him to listen to “those better angels” and give up his “stunt,” saying it would endanger U.S. troops and give terrorists a recruiting tool. Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the extraordinary step of calling Jones personally. Standing outside his 50-member Pentecostal church, the |
Qureshi falls in bid for US Open mixed doubles crown
 Pakistan’s Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi was thwarted in his first attempt to win a US Open doubles title when he and partner Kveta Peschke lost to Liezel Huber and Bob Bryan in Thursday’s mixed doubles final. The US top seeds defeated Qureshi and his Czech partner 6-4, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the crown, Bryan’s fourth US Open mixed doubles title in eight years, each of them coming with a different partner. “Too good. They were the better team,” Qureshi said. Qureshi had hoped to win both the men’s and mixed doubles titles in |
