Faisal Khan, CEO of NetAccess, has announced a Rs.100,000 internship challenge for 1st to 2nd year students.NetAccess Communications was one of companies out of PK to be funded by a US VC, and is a very successful network security and solutions company (dont let their webpage fool you – they have a fantastic profile).Here is his official take on this internship:

I have been toying with an idea for the last couple of years to have a ‘meaningful’ internship in our company. By meaningful I imply – worthy of learning, challenging, tough, the most intense / learning 8 weeks you will ever spend anywhere.The no-frills – eat, sleep, drink and talk technology kind of an internship… but (yes there is a but)… it has to be fun!!!Here is how it works: they will pick 12 students to participate in a grueling internship program – not only do they get the usual internship stipends and learning ability, the “winning” team will get a Rs.100,000 award to be divided equally amongst the members of the team.

Sound interesting? Go to their site to contact them directly about this (or Faisal maybe you could add an appropriate email address to the comments)

    I feel your pain, but chill. I cant find the post in the admin panel because it doesnt come up on search and is buried under more than a 1000 posts.

    To turn off comments you have to find the post, edit it and set a flag. If I come across the post I’ll switch the comments off because these are pretty annoying.

    But otherwise just ignore for now – thanks.

    Business Incubation: False Hopes and Shattered Dreams…

    When a 19th century romantic French writer by the name of Victor Hugo said “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come” he obviously could not envision Pakistani bureaucracy. Not only can it reduce an idea to nothing more than its meager skeletal remains squirming in its own vile, it too often does.

    Come 2004, the IT bubble is about to burst in a military run, democratic, American influenced politically independent subcontinent country by the name of Pakistan.

    Home & Cars Expo 2012

    The past whole week I was really excited about going to the exhibition on 5th and 6th at expo center Lahore since the theme read “home expo and super car expo”. I was counting on seeing some innovative home solutions, fancy cars and a lot of appliances for both. As I entered the arena, an ear piercing heavy bike engine race greeted me. Oh wow nice, we have bikes here too… and lots of them, but let’s see if we have the actual products that are expected.

That may be hard to believe, we being a die-hard cricket nation, but there are many amongst us who get their blood pumping whenever our favorite team kicks some balls (pun intended).  There’s excitement in the air, and the airwaves for that matter, when Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona are about to have a face-off on the field. Manchester United or Chelsea? The answer could incite either jeers or cheers, depending on who you’re surrounded by. It feels like you belong to an exclusive club really, not to mention how convenient it is to…

    Another SHAM ICT Funding Project

    There are two main things that are currently causing out growth in ICT to stall. One is the lack of original ideas, so most of the entrepreneurs either copy what is already around internationally or locally (same ideas of online shopping, online bidding) we still have not hit the jackpot with someone creating some thing like instagram or drawsomething and being acquired by one of the big names.

    The second issue always lamented by entrepreneurs is lack of any funding sources in Pakistan. Over the years we have seen efforts being made to create funds which would help but what ended happening that most of these funds either did…

    8th Layer of Networking

    We all know about the 7 layers of the OSI model. This is the framework by which computer networks are defined. Starting with the physical layer, going through the transport layer and finally culminating in the application layer where end user applications reside. I believe that this should be redefined to include and additional layer – the Social Layer. From the current vantage point, the Social Layer lies right above the Application layer – hence it is served by the Application layer.

    The 90s witnessed a boom in what is now referred to as web 1.0. This consisted of static applications hosted over the web. Static applications meant that…

    Thiel Fellowship: right idea, wrong approach

    I wanted to discuss the Thiel Fellowship and sort of run the idea among our readership to figure out if it was justified or not. Bay Area hedge fund manager Peter Thiel started a Fellowship program in his name about a year ago trying to capitalize not on start ups, but the smart kids who may actually come up with the next billion dollar idea.

    Let there be no mistake. Innovation solves problems. Bankers, lawyers and hot shot executives are good for only one thing: managing an existing infrastructure. It is the innovators who turn existing ideas on to their heads and enable breakthroughs. Considering the point above, it…
