Censorship in TV Channels

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 01:29 AM PST

Its becoming ridiculous nowadays and they have started even blurring out the stupid blood scene. I really dont understand what censorship thinks. WE clearly have a rated movies , and each time a movie / programme is telecasted , before it starts , they show what the RATING is . The onus falls on the Viewers whether to skip or watch the movie. Its upto parents to restrict what their kids needs to watch or what they shouldnt.

 

The censorship is getting stupid each day , its as if they are pushing many adult viewers , to either buy a blur-ray / dvd or pirate stuff.

 

Watching "Beach" now on MovieNow , and they blurred a stupid scene which JUST showed blood.

 

-These yesteryear "think-tanks" needs to realize today ,a teen can get whatever they want through various means. Its not that government shouldnt have a role in it , but thats exactly why we have a rating system , which rates a movie or show depending on the content. Its should be left to whoever watches / allows others to watch to decide whether its suitable or not.

 

With Massive push towards DTH , i think we now have even more control. Each STB can have a option to choose ,what is the least rating movie/show to be shown and it can locked with password, just like how certain channels can be child locked. This way parents can have better control , if they choose to , and leave adult viewers the choice of movies they can watch.

 

Craps like these are another reason people seek other source of content , where it is uncensored.

Fighting Corruption for Gas Connection

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:35 AM PST

Techie shows the way

 

http://www.bangaloremirror.com/bangalore/cover-story/Fighting-corruption-is-not-all-gas-Techie-shows-the-way/articleshow/25603445.cms

 

 

Several of you reading this story will squirm and swear at the recollection of getting conned into paying nothing less than Rs 10,500 for an LPG connection with two cylinders. But determined not to cave in to unscrupulous gas agency owners, this IT professional battled for eight months to ensure fair play, and succeeded.

 

 

When Rituraj was asked to shell out an exorbitant price for a gas connection, he played smart and got audio evidence -- he recorded the statement of the agency manager and posted it on the oil company's website. Within just three weeks, his application was processed and his connection was issued for a legal price of Rs 4,100. He did have a small price to pay for all of this: an eight-month wait before the cylinders finally landed in his home.

 

ACT Broadband - Application and Installation Experience

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:32 AM PST

Hello Forum Members,

I joined this forum to share my experience with ACT Broadband. I recently moved into my new apartment and prior to moving in I did a lot of research on the internet service providers in the area since I do a lot of work from home. Luckily I found out that ACT Broadband has coverage in my area and I called them up. On 2nd of November (Chota Diwali) there person came to collect the documents and payment at whichever time I specified. He very clearly said that since that was a Diwali weekend, my connection will get activated latest by Wednesday. He also mentioned that my apartment allready has a DP installed hence it would not be a problem at all.

Now comes, 5th of October, Tuesday. I get a call early in the morning from the installation guy from ACT asking for my available time for the wiring. He was very prompt and punctual. It took a total of 15 mins to complete the wiring and he tested the connection and gave the demo. He also said that latest by 6th my connection will get activated and it did.

I have not yet got a chance to test the full potential of the connection, however I can say one thing for sure, after reading multiple reviews in this forum, I was skeptical about the initial response of the company, but to my surprise, they were really well behaved and prompt in their response.

 

Total time it took for me to get the connection: 4 days

Total calls made to ACT: 3 (including calling the sales guy)

 

I will post review about the speed and QOS later.

 

PS: I am on the 15 MBps / 40 GB plan.

Need Truly Unlimited Plans without Caps

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:26 AM PST

For the move back to India I'm looking for unlimited broadband plans. But all of them seem to have some "cap" where the speeds are greatly reduced after a certain limit. I can't tolerate that with my heavy gaming and downloading. Does anyone know of service providers in Chennai who offer unlimited broadband?

 

Reliance and Airtel both seem to have these "caps". I don't mind paying whatever amount is necessary to have true unlimited broadband...

Reliance Jio has asked for four crore mobile numbers for nationwide rollout

Posted: 11 Nov 2013 11:37 PM PST

http://www.readability.com/articles/fedxgcbo

 

Surprised no one posted this. 

 

 

 

RJI has submitted an application to the telecommunication ministry stating that the company immediately needs 40 lakh phone numbers for each metro city, 20 lakh for A and B telecom circles and 10 lakh for category C circles, which comprises small towns and rural areas of the country.
DoT secretary M. F. Farooqui told Mail Today on Friday that the department has received a letter from RJI for the new series of phone numbers as they plan to launch their telecom services. "I don't recall the quantum of phone numbers they have asked for but we have received their application in this regard," said Farooqui.

"RJI has asked for the same series of numbers for its nationwide operations like the ones given to BSNL. We have to work it out if it is feasible or not. As the quantum of numbers to be released is very high, it could take about 2- 3 weeks for us to clear it. Our team will soon start working on it," said another DoT official.

 

And someone PMed me these rumored tariffs.
