The HSBC Emerging Markets Index (EMI) slipped to 52.1 in the third quarter this year, from 53.2 in the April-June period.

A relatively better performance from the services sector was offset by the poor performance of the manufacturing sector, as global demand softened.

Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft websites hacked in Pak



Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft websites hacked in Pak
The Pakistani websites of approximately as many as 300 companies, including that of tech giants Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Apple, were hacked and defaced during the weekend by a Turkish group named Eboz. Media reports have previously attributed around 600 other instances of hacking to this group.

On one of the defaced websites, the members of Eboz posted: "Why we have wasted our time to hack Pakistani sites? Just because let us convey our message. We warned you and we were willing to fix your vulnerability but you think we are jokers and you guys took it as a joke? Yes it's time to bang you guys!!"

The group seems to have exploited and highlighted a vulnerability of PKNIC, the TLD (Top Level Domain) operator that regulates all sites with .pk domains.

Some of the other companies affected by this systematic take down of services include Cisco, Visa, HSBC, Coca Cola, Blogspot, Sony, HP, eBay and PayPal, among others. While writing this report, some of the websites seems to have been restored; however, a few still seem to be under the hacker cell's control. Those trying to access Pakistani websites of iTunes, Blogspot, eBay, PayPal etc are either redirected elsewhere or the websites simply do not open.

The home pages of Google and a few other websites had the pictures of two penguins, with a phrase in Turkish that translates to: "My homies in a friend always there for me/ Have not shot by me with every breath."

Who would have thought that a refreshing glass of lemonade could not only quench your thirst but also help you quit smoking!
With the overwhelming stress at work, many have turned to smoking to alleviate their stress. What starts with a couple of puffs, grows on to become 1 cigarette a day and gradually, without being aware, one cannot control his urge for a cigarette. Despite being aware of the side effects of smoking, quitting is never easy.
In a new study, scientists have found that the interaction of sugar (known as glucose) with the tongue boosts attention as well as energy and can improve self control. This could help keep smokers away from the cigarettes at least in the short-term, the Daily Mail reported.

Think twice before you “like” a post on Facebook!
Shaheen Dhada condemned the “bandh” (shutdown of a city) that was observed by Mumbai, following the death of Balasaheb Thackeray, a prominent political figure. She posted a status message on Facebook which reportedly read, "People like Bal Thacheray are born and die daily and one should not observe a bandh for that.". This offended the sentiments of his followers. One of whom lodged a FIR against her, following which she was arrested by the Mumbai police, booking her under Section 295 (a) of the IPC (for hurting religious sentiments ) and Section 64 (a) of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
What was more surprising was the fact that a friend who “liked” the status was also taken into custody, for she “supported” the condemning thoughts!

At an age where an average child does not even own a pram, 1 year old Aaradhya Bachchan already has an Audi A8 and a BMW mini Cooper to her name!
Daughter of the celebrity couple Abhishek Bachchan & former Miss World Aishwarya Rai celebrated her first birthday on 16th of November. Grandpa Amitabh Bachchan presented her with a BMW mini Cooper priced at 25 lakh INR. Surprisingly, this may not please the toddler whose father had already bought her an Audi A8, which reportedly cost him a whopping 1.5 crore INR, when she was just 4 months old!
One shouldn’t be surprised if she does not like her birthday presents as she grows old; of course, who would when the bar has been raised this high on the first birthday itself!
