    Amazon is working on a device that can read human emotions

    The report said the device would come equipped with a microphone to listen into a user’s voice and detect their emotional state.  It is not clear how far along the project is or if it would ever become a commercial product.

    The wrist-worn gadget is described as a health and wellness product indicating another big leap by a major tech company into health. Amazon has previously indicated its interest in the health sector with its $753 million deal to buy the online pharmacy PillPack.

    Amazon declined to comment on the report.

  • ‘One-ring’ scam is targeting Pakistanis via phone calls

    ‘One-ring’ scam is targeting Pakistanis via phone calls

    A one-ring scam is targeting Pakistanis on mobile phones. A number of citizens received phone calls from unknown international numbers.

    The phone call ends with a missed call notification on the receiving end, urging the receiver to call back. The scam tricks thousands of users into dialing an international number and hence exposing them to the risk of getting charged heavily for the connecting fee, and huge per-minute charges.

    A user who received a call from this scam ring shared a message on Whatsapp which reads

    “Very Very Urgent …

    Please pass this message to your family and friends NOW.
