Unique Identification Authority of India (Aadhaar)

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 02:58 AM PDT

the govts plans to have a biometric national id cards for everyone by 2010.In usa the real id act is facing fierce resistance as 20 states have signed legislation opposition this as well in UK as groups like defyid and no2id.THis national id card makes india a police state,mass surveillance society and blurs the difference btw nazi germany and india.
the supreme court has interpreted that we have the right to privacy which the national id card violates.Why isnt anyone doing to stop this.I contacted times of india ,cnn ibn,ndtv but got no reply?.


we already have voter id card,passport,driver license,ration card,pan card(similar to social security card in us.).EVen is usa the ss card is not to be used as a id card.why do we need a chip card?the only thing that i can think is abut control and monitoring us.

once everyone has this card the govt can track your every move and switch your card if you resist or dissent.

those who give up liberty for security neither deserve liberty nor security-Benjamin Franklin.

freedom 1295 and 1395

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 02:56 AM PDT

i'm currently on tata's 512 kbps plan and i'm tired of high pings though the customer care service is excellent...net hardly goes down....but its too costly...
i'm a gamer so need a high speed internet...

i was thinking to switch to mtnl's freedom 1295 or 1395 plan ...speeds are amazing and in my budget...

can anyone give a few reviews about these plans? 

does mtnl offer static ip with these plans or i'll have to get it separately ? 

does mtnl block any websites or throttle anything? 

and how are the pings that mtnl offers? 

and i'm aware that mtnl's customer care is pathetic ...

Has anyone on the forum ever used the Services of Akosha? 

 

I have filed a complaint against a company, and selected the free plan, I am undoubtedly willing to pay if I have any idea what kind of things they can do on your behalf to get the issues solved.

 

So, anyone used their services?

Like always, we now have the rumors on the upcoming movie Dhoom 2. Apparently, it still features John Abraham. In simple words, Hrithik Roshan is actually John Abraham in disguise. He is wearing a mask throughout the movie.

Sounds pretty stupid right? It is indeed.

Airtel SCAM Exposed ! Extorting Money during Cancellation

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 02:01 AM PDT

Hi,
 
I have been using the Airtel Broadband connection (#080-40913933) since January 2011. My plan was 1200 /- (8 Mbps) and my billing cycle was 11th to 10th of next month.
On 12-May-2013, I shifted from Koramangala to Bannerghatta road and contacted the apartment agent (Shibu) for transferring my existing connection. He suggested, Sir, do NOT transfer your connection, because it may take a week time, instead please take a new connection and cancel the existing one [may be for his own benefit, his target for that month would be achieved]. So I paid 500/- for new connection (out of which 250/- is refundable according to Shibu) and got my new connection (080-41288896) activated on 14-May. Also I had contacted the Customer Care and raised request for cancellation and got the request id. As expected, got a call from retention department and I patiently explained them the scenario and they said ok, it will be taken care of. (By the way, for bill cycle  11-Apr-2013 to 11-May-2013, I received the bill for my old number, which I paid immediately to speed up the process)
 
And the story begins now !
In June I got a bill of 1348/- (period: 11-May-2013 to 11-Jun-2013) for my old number and another bill of 1223/- (period: 14-May-2013 to 11-Jun-2013) for my new number. I paid the bill of 1223/- as this is the new connection that I am using now. Contacted the customer care (agent)...
Me: I raised a cancellation request last month for my old connection and have not used it since 11-May-2013, as I got a new connection to work with. How come its not yet processed and still I am getting bill?
Agent: Do you have the cancellation request?
Me: Yes, here it is <request_no>
and Voila...
Agent: This is NOT a valid request id. It starts with 4 and our current running number starts with 3.
I was like WHAT !!!!
Me: Can you change the first number and check.
He did that (with several permutations and combinations, but no result)
Agent: Sir, you have to raise another request.
And a NEW request was raised.
 
July-2013, 
I got another bill of 2015/- for my old connection and 1405/- for my new connection. Being the active connection I paid 1405/-, again contacted the Customer Care, explained them the overall story, this time I was quite pissed off. Agent replied, ok sir, we shall take care of this.
Now, last week I got a call from so called Collection Dept about the payment of 2015. I told them I can not pay for two bills. The (new) one I am supposed to pay is already up to date and for other (old) one, the request was raised 2 and half months back and this is not my fault. They said OK and they will speak to Backend team to rectify the issue.
Yesterday I got the LAST REMINDER email from Airtel, which says about court/forum and legal proceedings, blah blah blah, if you do not pay your current outstanding !!!
Perplexed....Shocked !!
 
I heard lot of complaints on this (almost all the forums have similar complaints registered), that as long as you are using their service, they are OK (only thing is Airtel will keep on increasing your tariff at the eleventh hour). But the moment you cancel your connection, Airtel will try to extort as much as money as they can. Its like (loot lo, last minute mein). People, out of fear pay the amount to get rid of this and Airtel takes the undue advantage of looting their customers. I have forwarded my complain to my current and previous company HR and other friends in my Network so as to not to entertain Airtel any more. And today I have raised another cancellation request for my 3 months old new connection (080-41288896).
 
Thanks to Artel...
 
Now, I tell you what will happen? A spam mail like below wil lbe sent by Airtel:
This is to inform you that your concern listed on 13 Aug 2013 has been noted and our team is working on a resolution. At the outset, we apologize for the inconvenience faced by you. We will get in touch with you for further details of your concern as the need arises. 
 
For any queries you may have you can also get in touch with us at www.airtel.in/airtelpresence
 
And I shall keep getting calls from Customer Service..

Airtel Network and Internet Issue

Posted: 14 Aug 2013 12:53 AM PDT

I am using Samsung S3 and Airtel sim in it, it has worst internet speed, for opening facebook it takes 10 min list, i have tried other internet connection it works very well with the handset. I thought it could be my mobile problem but I have tried with every way from my side like formated mobile, internet setting also correct but still it is worst. I am not getting network in my room and if i will come just out side the room there is full network for the airtel, even though Airtel tower is just withinf 100 to 200m from my room (this is max distance actually i think it is within 100m) I am loosing my important calls due to this and every other mobile network is full inside my room. I have tried for MNP but as my number is new they are not permitting MNP (less than 6 months we cannot port). and the worst thing is that I am using 2 mobiles (1 S3 and other dual sim samsung phone) and I have 2 Airtel numbers in that :( I am very old customer of Airtel may be last 8 to 9 years, and now I give up on Airtel. Guys if you have any Idea by which I can get good network in my room (Parijat Society, Hadapsar, Pune) and good Internet speed please please let me know or any number by which I can provide my Complaint to Airtel (if helpful).

Friends, instead of starting new thread for each news, I thought of opening a separate thread for F1 news. So, here I start...

Standardising Formula One machinery
Five-year FIA cost-culling plan revealed
15/10/08

A British newspaper has revealed the FIA's five-year plan to radically slash costs, with the body's president arguing Formula One has become 'unsustainable'.

The centrepiece of the package, to be discussed with the F1 teams' alliance FOTA next week in Geneva, is the standardisation of expensive car parts that add little to the show.

The London publication The Times claims that Bernie Ecclestone, the Chief Executive of F1's commercial rights holder, backs the Max Mosley-devised plan to 'dramatically' cut costs.

Among the measures is the introduction of a controversial standard engine design for 2010, additional energy recovery systems and fuel-efficient engines for 2013, and many 'common parts' for the chassis.


"We are completely open to new ideas," Mosley, albeit insisting that engines must be made available to small teams at a low cost, said in a letter to the team bosses.

An FIA spokesman said he will not comment prior to the meeting.

BSNL Combo 600 Plan Free usage reduced to 750 MB? (August 2013)

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 06:24 PM PDT

Just logged in to portal to check my usage details for BBG-FN-HOME-600-COMBO-PLUS-MONTHLY_R plan (2.5 GB day usage and night unlimited) and was shocked to see that the free

usage instead of showing as 2.5 GB is showing as 750 MB!!! I have used about 970 MB till now so the charged usage is showing as 220 MB!

Very shocked and disappointed if BSNL has taken this step which is beyond belief. After waiting for many years, instead of getting a raise in 

the free usage, it has been reduced to more than one third! If other people are using this plan kindly check your portal account to see if there also it is showing 750 MB? If yes then post here and if it is still 2.5 GB then I suppose there must be some issue with the site. Hope it is still 2.5 GB because 750 MB is a joke! Also people might end up getting huge bills this month if they don't know this. Quite shocked by BSNL's shamelessness as they once again made such a huge change without informing the users!

 

Need help with Beetel 450TC2 modem

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 06:20 PM PDT

I recently got Beetel 450TC2 wifi-modem with my Airtel internet connection. I can connect to internet via lan wire but they have implemented enterprise wifi security for wireless connectivity. Basically, one has to register his/her devices via their website and only then he/she shall be able to connect to internet. Also it has a limit of only 4 devices via wifi as websites registers MAC of each device. If one has to add a new device he has to de-register previous device. In short it is "crap worthy".

I tried to change the wifi authentication mode by login into the modem via 192.168.1.1 but it is locked (uneditable). Is there a custom firmware/ open source firmware/ other tricks that can be used to remove this bullshit authentication mode? Only in India can a company (Read Airtel) sell you broadband at a high cost as well as restrict it usage.

Sylvester Stallone Confirms Nicolas Cage for THE EXPENDABLES 3; Still Wants Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes, and Mickey Rourke

“We are preparing the film with the same passion and commitment as the previous two. We have confirmed Nicolas Cage, a master actor who gives a veneer intellectual group. Hopefully we can realize to Harrison Ford, Wesley Snipes and Mickey Rourke. That is the great mission of the producer. We will continue with the same narrative scheme, the agility and the frenzy, which are inherent to the saga.”


Sylvester Stallone Confirms Nicolas Cage for THE EXPENDABLES 3 | Collider


Update: Deadline reports that Stallone has denied the confirmation of Cage for the third film. Apparently, these comments were made during Stallone’s European tour of the press junkets for Expendables 2 this past summer. The response came from a question of who he would like to see in a future installment, but again, he denies the confirmation of Cage.

Hello!
 
We all know that engaging in software piracy is a criminal offence. But it gets worse when a group of people come unannounced to your office and seize all your supposedly unlicensed software, without letting you take a backup of any data. They also ask for an exorbitant settlement figure. http://bit.ly/19fte1Y

It's there that a listing has popped up claiming that BlackBerry's as-yet unannounced Z30 will support Qi wireless charging. The listing goes on to say that the smartphone will pack a medium power receiver, capable of pulling 120 watts from a charger, which should be enough to juice that (rumored) 2,800mAh battery in short order.

Why 9"? - 7" Tablets have been the most popular screen size selling in the market. However, all those using it wish that the screen was bigger to get the best use of the tablet and make it more useful for everyone whether doing work or watching movies or playing games or even browsing the net. Common Screen sizes available bigger than 7" are 9.7" and 10.1". However these size screen cost are much higher as compared to 7". 9" screen is introduced in between to offer very high value to the user at much more affordable cost. i9018 iBall Slide is being introduced for below Rs 10000 mark which is a very good and appealing offering for a 9" tablet in this high USD to rupee scenario. Apart from being the 1st Dual core processor based Tablet in 9" Screen size, it also happens to be with HD screen (1024x600) to give sharper and clearer picture on the Big screen and Mali 400 GPU is bound to give superb graphic processing to give seamless and smooth video, gaming and graphics. This means that the Slide i9018's 1GB RAM internal memoryand 8GB big built in flash would have a fast, efficient processor to work with, and with the microSD slot expandable up to 32 GB, there's no looking back for app lovers.

Wired Broadband in Millennium Tower, Sector 9, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai

Posted: 13 Aug 2013 09:26 AM PDT

Hi everyone,

 

 

We are living in a rented apartment in Millennium Tower, Sector 9, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai. Our requirement is high speed wired broadband (Total of 8 mbps atleast) and low ping. We are even willing to take upto 3 different broadband connections and even from different ISPs. This is because the flat has two floors and sharing a single net connection via wifi would be difficult as well as adversely impact the ping for the guys who are playing online games. Also, different isp means having backups is one net suffers downtime.

 

Till now only Airtel has confirmed their presence in my building but their FUP limit is ridiculous. We are willing to pay upto Rs 3000 p.m.

 

We have contacted a local cable operator by the name of "Om star" has told us that their connection is not available in our area.

 

I have also contacted Reliance about their presence in my area but they haven't reverted anything till now. Also, I am bit doubtful about their service after reading about user experiences, complaining about high ping and frequent disconnection.

 

Please suggest a broadband connection/ISP provided which operate in this area as I am new to this city/area.

 

Thanks in advance

Regards
