Combo ULD 800 Plan Review Posted: 05 Sep 2013 03:15 AM PDT Hey friends,   I installed BSNL BB with Combo ULD 800.   AS per plan speed should be max. 1mbps upto 6gb. But i am getting 1.6mbps speed as per speed test (measured on speedtest.net). How it can be possible. Can any 1 answer??????????????????????????????????????????????   BSNL has taken 2 month to install Landline but bb installation is very quick (2 days after application).   Till now i am satisfied. I am in Vadodara, Gujarat region.   You ppl also can share your experience for this plan and BSNL service.

Building NAS Posted: 05 Sep 2013 02:56 AM PDT LEt see  I have a smart tv, a laptop ( not dedicated one i.e. its not at home most of the time), a tablet, a smart phone , a router, a wifi router, an external hdd of 2tb.... is there any way I can make this into a NAS  at home ?

Hard Disk probably on the verge of crashing Posted: 05 Sep 2013 02:52 AM PDT So, my media player app was playing video with jerky action. Vuze refused to download a torrent saying file read write access error. Windows' own drive diagnostic did not show any issues with the hard drive. Seagate's SeaTools show this error message. Is the hard disk really in the process of dying? What more checks can I do? Also of course, what are the good drives to purchase today? preferably 2 or 3TB capacities.

Vodafone 2G Cheaper by 80% (Update: Only pay as you go plan) Posted: 05 Sep 2013 02:34 AM PDT   Vodafone India is slashing 2G data charges by 80 percent, it said on Tuesday, adding that the new rates will be rolled out across India in phases.   The new rates will currently be applicable in Karnataka, west Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh circles.   http://www.readability.com/articles/g5lx6opz   Just out.

Dhoom 3 Posted: 05 Sep 2013 02:15 AM PDT 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.

ACT broadband Bangalore worst service Posted: 05 Sep 2013 02:12 AM PDT I am a customer of ACT broadband for last six months, i opted for 15 Mbps 40 GB plan, from 1st of this month i started experiencing .38-.44 mbps speed, i lodged a complaint and the feedback i received are really funny    1. I utilised 40 GB in four hours of previous day , i don't know whether that is possible by anyone to use- No auto updates are on and i requested them, which website or to which ip the system was connected and used this ? No reply from them    2. Then the customer service executive told, i might have used a router without password, the funniest part is There is no router at my home and i connect the cable directly to one PC    3. I also heard similar issue from my friends, ACT is not a reliable service provider, This is the problem with the unknown brands, you get a grievance redressal .     I DON'T SUGGEST "ACT BROADBAND" IN BANGALORE FOR ANY ONE LOOKING FOR A NEW BROADBAND CONNECTION   Thanks, Ashok

Flipkart Ad Campaigns Posted: 05 Sep 2013 01:42 AM PDT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlwcftfHzL0&feature=player_embedded ---------- Someone please tell me what he says in the end!

Some Queries About Legal Actions Against Reliance. Posted: 05 Sep 2013 01:04 AM PDT Hello Guys, I would like to ask you guys some questions First, here is my situation: I am a Reliance broadband user - 2 MBPS Postpaid. I am regular with my bills and all. From March-13 I am getting High Pings and low speed during the day time. I am a gamer, who plays battlefield 3, in tournaments and all. Reliance has made my life hell. I cant perform in any of the games. To give you guys what I feel, here is a link to my LAGGY Experience with Relaince. Every time I call them, they give me a new date. They say that it will be fixed by then. But it never does. I am still have this problem. Here is a list of problems that I face during 11 AM to 9PM 1) high latency.. to indian IPs. I get around 250 ping to google.com 2) heavy packet loss. around 50% sometimes. 3) low speed. Going down to 256 KBPS. 4) irregularity among receiving packets - one packets come in random order. Which is certainly not desirable when playing games.  I would like to inquire about a few things here... 1) Can I drag reliance to consumer court? Demanding refund? i.e. I pay for 2MBPS 24x7. But i dont get it... I am not aware of all the rules here. Can this thing turn around and bite me in the ass? 2) Any one else facing this problem? Are there any methods to solve this?

Fast & Furious 7 Posted: 05 Sep 2013 01:00 AM PDT OMG I'm waiting for this movie.     Around the time when Fast Five was hitting the home video market, reports surfaced about the next franchise installments, with rumors indicating that Jason Statham may be the next high profile star to join the franchise. As it turned out, Brit actor Luke Evans nabbed the role Statham was thought to take initially and Fast & Furious 6 was shot by itself. According to today's big scoop from AICN, much of that initial plan may actually hold true. According to their sources, at the end of Fast & Furious 6, when Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker)'s team of stunt drivers successfully help out Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) in taking down Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) in exchange for their freedom, there's an additional scene that leads into Fast & Furious 7. It may end up being a post-credits sequence much like the tease of Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) returning in the Fast Five button, but this one starts with an inside-car view of someone's hands on a steering wheel of a parked car, with Japanese voices coming though a police scanner in the vehicle. An external shot reveal it to be a custom reinforced Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The scanner asks for all units to respond to a car chase between a black and orange Mazda RX-7 and a grey Nissan 350Z, and so the Mercedes books it in pursuit. We still don't see the driver but the Mercedes is running parallel on another street to the high-speeding Mazda and Nissan, before cutting left, onto the same road, and sideswiping the Mazda, flipping it as a result, with practically no damage to the Mercedes. The mystery Mercedes stops and out steps… Jason Statham, as Ian Shaw, brother to Luke Evans' character. He walks up to the flipped over Mazda RX-7 and in it sits Han Seul-Oh (Sung Kang). That's right. The franchise has come full circle and merged with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, director Justin Lin's first entry into the series (he's directed every installment since). Mind blown? FYI, this isn't Jensen Ames Statham from Death Race or Frank Martin Statham from the Transporter series or Handsome Rob Statham from The Italian Job, this is Ian Shaw Statham from Fast & Furious, typecast car skills included. We can therefore assume the grey Nissan is The Drift King Takashi's (Brian Tee) ride. Will Lucas Black return to the franchise as Sean Boswell? Hit me up on Twitter @rob_keyes and let me know if you dig this idea.   http://screenrant.com/fast-furious-6-7-villain-post-credits-scene-spoilers/

OS X Lion & BSNL 3G Data stick (Teracom LW273) issues Posted: 05 Sep 2013 12:50 AM PDT Hi Guys, I have a BSNL 3G USB Datastick (Teracom LW273). They had a Mac OS X Snow Leopard version of the dialer which worked fine. I recently installed OS X Lion & the dialer doesn't work anymore. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the dialer several times to no avail. How can I get the dialer to work under Lion? Is there a Lion compatible dialer version out there? Does Teracom have a website or contact information anywhere? Thanks! - Girish

Funny Videos, Images and Jokes Posted: 05 Sep 2013 12:40 AM PDT MS staff There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out. The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away." __________________________________________________________ Is Windows a virus?

Sony Xperia Z1 Posted: 05 Sep 2013 12:21 AM PDT So, this one is now looking as the potential rival to Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and Nokia Lumia 1020 (EOS).   http://goo.gl/PDPs2     This is a conceptual render and not a leaked image.      With a 5 inch 1080 x 1920 resolution screen, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 under the hood, it all sounds like your every day mid-2013 top-shelf model. That is, until you get to the camera on back. The rear-facing camera on the Sony i1 is a 20/13MP camera with an Exmor RS sensor, G Lens, Cybershot, dual LED and Xenon flash, Mobile BIONZ Image processing and interchangeable lens.

Tikona Broadband User Experiences Posted: 05 Sep 2013 12:20 AM PDT Thought I would start another thread for people who have actually used this service to describe their experience. They have started advertising quite heavily in Bombay and their plans seem pretty decent. Their 600kbps UL plan would be excellent for me. I really like the way they have bill limits for their limited plans as well. That shows they understand consumer concerns about enormous bills and have designed their plans to allay them. So how good is their service? Any down time? How quickly do they respond to complaints? Really any information from people who have used Tikona would be appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Posted: 04 Sep 2013 11:04 PM PDT http://goo.gl/GOKFP   Apparently the gamepad accessory for the Galaxy S4 support devices as large as 6.3 inches. So, the rumor in the market is that Note3 might feature a display as large. lol.    I think they should have added support for 8" devices so that the recently launched Note 8.0 would have worked with this!

The IT Crowd Posted: 04 Sep 2013 08:33 PM PDT Starting today at 8pm... See "The IT Crowd" (2006) Appears to be a good British comedy (I hope it's not the US version)... I'm a fan of Brit comedies and am simply loving the BBC Entertainment channel on my new Tata Sky connection gotten 2 weeks ago Like Absolutely Fabulous and the UK version of The Office... fun to watch... I hope they replay the old Rowan Atkinson serials like The Thin Blue Line and BlackAdder...

Airtel Corporate plan changes - No more A2O free Posted: 04 Sep 2013 06:56 PM PDT So, I just got a message that Airtel no longer has minutes to other mobiles free on my corporate connection, only A2A instead of A2M/A2O (other mobiles) & also SMSes are charged. Customer care said new plans are coming and you can wait for a while (2-3 days in their words) and choose. I personally am tempted to dump Airtel. But before I do, would like feedback on which other provider is better in Chennai.   No need of 3G. So non-3G providers are also fine. Low-cost and good coverage are what I am looking at. Was paying 149+tax for 300 A2M & around 150-200 SMS you can say (which I use around 50-60%).   Also, I feel others will join the bandwagon.. So thinking if should hold on to Craptel.   P.S - For dumping, I will switch to prepaid Airtel & then move out as that seems as easier process for MNP
