But nowadays, with the increasing valuations of sports teams, thanks to TV contracts and such, the entry prices for owning your own team have kept on increasing. For some, it is a means to gain fame and to becoming a public figure. Forbes just released a list of the wealthiest people around the world who own a sports team. The list includes 63 men and women, with a net worth of over 10-digits and ownership of a sports team under their belt. These 63 individuals have a combined worth of $285 billion and collectively own 81 team franchises from 12 sports leagues across seven sports worldwide.

Who Made Into the Forbes’ List of Sport Teams Owners One of the NFL’s richest owners is the Pakistan-born Shahid Khan, who is worth $5.9 billion and owns the Jacksonville Jagu...

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa may not be the top on the list to implement legislations, but it certainly took the lead by becoming the first Assembly in South Asia to digitize legislative business. The provincial government has effectively introduced e-governance at the Provincial Assembly, where all members will have access to computerized data.  The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly has become the ninth assembly in the world to have an e-governance system.

Think your phone is free from data-theft in 2016? Think again, for a new Android malware called “accessibility clickjacking” is here, leaving more than 500 million Android devices worldwide vulnerable. The vulnerability, discovered by the founders of mobile security firm Skycure, deceives users through a “malicious UI redressing technique” which causes the user to click on a link on that otherwise normal-looking webpage, which in fact contains some infected content. The threat is very much real too, as only a month ago Symantec found a ransomware called “Android.Lockdroid.E”, which used Advertising Clickjacking to earn admin rights to a device. What sort of data is left vulnerable? The answer is all text-based information in your phone or tablet which can include your “personal and work emails, SMS messages, data from messaging apps, sensitive data on business applications such as CRM software, marketing automation software and more” , as well as other “automated actions via ot...

With all the clamor surrounding this year's MWC over the past two weeks, we couldn't find time to update you on the latest developments in phone interest trends on a weekly basis. Well, we're back at it, and there's plenty to talk about. The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) joins its little brother A5 (2016), which entered the chart earlier, and the two occupy 10th and 8th spots respectively. In between them we have the Sony Xperia X Performance, the Japanese company's new flagship. The Galaxy J5 is far from its regular comfort zone on the podium, this week in 7th. In 6th we find the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note, the bronze holder in the last edition of the chart. Samsung's sexier S7, the S7 edge, enters the chart in 5th spot, with the LG G5 slightly ahead.
