Headphones

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:53 AM PST

For myself. Budget? Flexible. Anything below 5K would be fine.

Requirement?

Wireless possible? Because I still work on a desktop. It does not have Bluetooth though.
If not wireless, need a long wire. 2 meters probably would be fine.

To be used for watching movies, television shows mostly. Would be nice if they can remove the noise around me. The problem is quite massive. I live in the corner house which means that there is a road besides the windows and f**king dogs keep on crying and barking all night long. And of course there is enough noise during the day time because of traffic.

Would prefer headphones coz do not like earphones much.

Headphones with microphone would also be very nice because it would help in Hangouts.

PS. I think I started a similar thread in the past but I did not bother to order. This time I think I really should get something for backup.

Nexus 5 Or Iphone5s

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:50 AM PST

Guys i want to buy a smartphone for myself in the month of may(bday :pleasantry: ). Kindly suggest whether i should go for android(nexus 5) or iOS(i5s). Actually i am more inclined towards iphone, would also like to wait if new one is releasing in June. But i am impressed by Nexus 5. Confused between the two. I dont think its a point to invest 15k more for a fingerprint scanner n few features. But atlast iphone is an iphone. So can anyone suggest which one is better of the two? And i dont want any other options, Sony, sammy, etc. My current phone is Desire SV.

 

Thank You

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?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

ACT Broadband Bangalore Reviews

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:26 AM PST

Hello Readers,

My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband.

I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263.

Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again.

I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week.

I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response.

Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband
1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in]
2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number.
3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so]
4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them
5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians]
6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service

Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time.

Record a series but only the new episodes?

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:07 AM PST

What's the best way to go about putting in a recording for daily shows, but which also have numerous repeats on weekdays and weekends?

 

When I do a series record, it records every instance of that show that airs. For a show like Taraak Metha that's A LOT.

 

Thanks

I don't understand these bad reviews about ACT!

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 02:02 AM PST

Seriously people, is ACT that bad?

Here is what went with me.
 

Before going for ACT I had made up my mind to go with BSNL's EVDO as I had read all these bad reviews about ACT. I went to BSNL's CSC and they made me visit their place for continuous 4 days without any progress about the connection. After that, leaving BSNL aside, here is how ACT worked for me,

Day 1 - 24/06/2013 : I called up ACT's number and they registered my details
Day 2 - 25/06/2013 : ACT's guy came and took the money.
Day 3 - 26/06/2013 : I called the sales guy (the one who took money) and asked whether it was possible to get the set up today and he replied it could be possible or I would it get for sure within 3 days as promised. Within an hour a technician was at my place set up the connection!
Day 4 - 27/06/2013 : I got a message about my documents being accepted and another message that my connection could be active within 10 days. After 3 hours, ACT's guy called up and verified my details and gave username/password and my connection was active!

 

Speed is as promised and ping is good enough to play Counter Strike. 

I don't know anything about down times and stuff yet. But so far ACT's service wasn't as unprofessional as many people here have complained about getting a new connection.

I'll keep updating about the disconnections, down times and after sales stuff. For the record, I stay in Malleshwaram.

Frequent disconnection in Mumbai suburbs?

Posted: 13 Feb 2014 12:49 AM PST

I have been losing connectivity everyday exactly at 2:00PM, then it comes back online only later at night.

 

When it does come back online, it is not stable, it goes off every now and then for a few mins to an hour and comes back at its own wish.

 

Customer service only seem to repeat the same thing "Sir, you are facing a signal issue, I will contact the backend department and engineer will come to you with permanent solution". Same bloody line every single day and no reponse to the complaint ticket.

 

Not to mention, I am on the 5mbps plan, and I only get 0.97mbps if Im lucky. This circus has been going on for almost a week.

 

Am I the only one being f**ked over? or is anyone else in the same boat?

Interim Rail Budget 2014

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 11:51 PM PST

Rail budget 2014: Passenger fares, freight rates left untouched; 72 new trains announced - The Times of India
 

Passenger fares and freight rates were left untouched on Wednesday in the interim rail budget, which talks about plans about involvement of private sector and FDI as part of efforts to modernize the largest transport network in the country.
Presenting the interim budget for four months in the Lok Sabha, railway minister Mallikarjun Kharge said an independent Rail Tariff Authority is being set up to rationalize fares and there was a proposal to expand dynamic pricing of tickets in line with the airline industry.
He announced the launch of 17 new premium trains, 39 express trains and ten passenger trains in the coming year and providing rail connectivity to Katra and Vaishnodevi in Jammu and Kashmir, and Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh in the Northeast.

HYDERABAD: Eleven days after TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao began an indefinite fast for Telangana, the Centre on Wednesday announced that the process of formation of a separate state was being set into motion and that a resolution to this effect would be moved in the Andhra Pradesh assembly shortly. Though he did not specify the timing, there is speculation that it may be tabled as early as Thursday.

Pepper spray used, scuffle in Lok Sabha as Govt tables Telangana Bill

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 11:05 PM PST

A parliamentarian used pepper spray, triggering a coughing bout and three MPs had to be taken to hospital in unprecedented scenes in Parliament over the controversial bill to create Telangana by dividing Andhra Pradesh, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha today.

Congress MP L Rajagopal used pepper spray as two sets of MPs - for and against Telangana - rushed to the Well of the Lok Sabha. A computer was flung and broken in the clash; a mic was thrown.

Two groups of protesters also clashed outside Parliament and a heavy contingent of police arrived to remove them as the volatile political atmosphere spilled onto the streets.

There is unprecedented security in Parliament after a suicide threat by an MP.

Fire extinguishers and blankets have been kept ready in Parliament after a Congress MP allegedly threatened to set himself afire to protest against Telangana. The MP, Sabbam Hari, is one of the six that the ruling party expelled for moving a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister. 

No visitors are being allowed in the Parliament House and even those entering the press galleries are being put through rare checks. Sources say security personnel are also cautious about protesting MPs carrying any suspicious objects, though they cannot frisk them.

These MPs belong to the non-Telangana regions of Seemandhra, which are vehemently opposed to bifurcating Andhra Pradesh.
"This government can't bring the bill. It's a minority bill. Its own ministers are opposing it and they are depending on the Opposition to pass it," said L Rajgopal.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh met top ministers before Parliament began to discuss whether to bring the bill today, as the government anticipated trouble.

Members in blindfolds protested in the Rajya Sabha, shouted slogans and held up placards. Both houses were adjourned within minutes as Andhra Pradesh MPs, including ministers, vowed to block the Telangana bill.

There have been ugly and embarrassing clashes in Parliament since last week. "My heart bleeds to see what is happening in the House. This is bad for democracy," said the Prime Minister yesterday, after two MPs nearly attacked each other before other lawmakers intervened.

Narendra Modi: 5-10% of black money brought back would be given to honest tax payers

"It is the prime responsibility of the government to bring back black money. Only the next government will be able to do this and this is my personal commitment," he said.
As an incentive, he said, whatever such money is brought in, 5 to 10 per cent of it will be given as a "gift" to those salaried class who earned fixed income and honestly paid taxes," he said.

Tata Sky's Response for the Special Channels category

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 09:39 PM PST

Somewhere in January when the HBO Defined and Hits channels were introduced as a special category, I had sent an email to TS. The below are some of the excerpts from the email.

 

About special channels category, I was not informed at the time when I renewed for Mega Pack HD. In the advantages of the Mega Packs, Tata Sky has mentioned that any new channels introduced on Tata Sky will be available as part of your Mega Pack at no additional cost. Now you have added a condition where special categories channel are not included. As a consumer I sense that this is total cheating.

 

No matter how many channels you have added but the HD channels which matter are not being made available to Mega Pack HD consumers.

 

There's another advantage of Mega Packs written down there on your website.

 

"No hassles of managing additional packages"

 

Can you tell me how is it relevant now? As you have added several combo packs, annual packs & ala carte for special channels, there's a quite big hassle of managing additional packages. Hence that is still misleading to the customers.

 

When customer subscribes to the Mega Packs, he pretends that new channels will be added as a part of his plan because of the information provided in your advertisements. If the cost of the premium channels are high then you can also increase the price of pack. Price wise even now there's very thin difference between Grand Sports package & Mega package.

 

Now exactly what is wrong with your company's roadmap? Why as a consumer I have to repeatedly point out flaws in such policies & decisions? This is going no where.

 

 

Then the next day which was January 8, I received a response from Tata Sky.

 

Additionally, we would also like to inform you "Tata Sky has been consistently finding ways to overcome the capacity constraint, even at huge cost, to ensure that our subscribers get content of their choice, delivered to them in the best possible quality. Since January this year we have added over 60 new channels, SD & HD and will continue to do so in the coming times too. It is possible that some of these new channels may not be of interest to you due to their language or genre. However, you will appreciate that we have to cater to all audiences across age groups and geographies in the country.


Often we come across very rich, high quality content that we know some of our customers would appreciate. However, in some instances this content comes to us outside of the existing commercial deals we have with the broadcasters. Our options are to either not carry this content or to carry it at the lowest possible price we can negotiate with the owners of this content and leave the option of subscription to our customers.

 

Keeping in mind this opportunity, we thought of creating a Specials category early this year. Our customers who renewed since Feb 13 were informed at the time of renewal and our web sites and other communications also carried information about this.

HBO Defined, HBO Hits HD Channels are also part of Specials that we have introduced; in addition to Star World Premiere HD. Our options are to either not carry this content or to carry it at the lowest possible price we can negotiate with the owners of this content and leave the option of subscription to our customers.
 

HBO Defined and HBO Hits are a High Definition Channel, available only on an a la carte basis @ Rs 90 pm for each channel (HBO Defined: Rs 90 PM and HBO Hits: Rs 90 PM) as part of Specials on Tata Sky

Combo HBO pack at Rs 99 PM, Rs 595 Semi annually and Rs 990 Annually;.


You can simply SMS to 56633 from your Tata Sky RMN with the below SMS codes to activate the channels on your account.

1. HBO Defined: SMS add hbde to 56633


2. HBO Hits: SMS add  hbhi to 56633

3.  Combo HBO Pack:
               Monthly- SMS add cohb to 56633
               S/A-SMS add cohb180 to 56633
               Annual- SMS add cohb365 to 56633


4. LDB Combo HBO Pack:
                  Annual: cohb365
                  Semiannual: cohb180 

 

Now let's hear it from other consumers who have subscribed to these Mega packs. What others have to say for the company response?

BSNL - EVDO - Usage - Review and everything about it

I know its a old school connection , about 4 years old but till now there isnt a better wireless plan compared to this till now

Rs 750 Pm True Unlimited . Prepaid

Pros:
1. True Unlimited no FUPs - i download around 100-150 Gbs a month, i can download upto 200-300 Gbs but i run out of files :redface:
2. Priced cheap compared to others , when they charge Rs 1000 with 10 Gb FUP
3. U dont have to talk to the customer care ever

Cons:
1. it has too many
2. Coverage is too thin , forget about slow speed there are places where u wont get any service at all
3. u just cannot walk to a BSNL office and buy this sim , because 70% of them doesnt know there is a service like this
4. CDMA
5. Availability of CDMA- EVDO modems in the market
6. Recharge Problems , those STVs mentioned on the site dont work most of the time ( lost Rs 1000 over online Recharge couple of times)

even after all the above i just love this connection , its prepaid and costs 750 pm , unlimited

CMIIW , But has BSNL been compromised ?

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 08:46 PM PST

So after many months i logged into cloudfare (mainly to activate https://thedaywefightback.org/ script) and found few BSNL IP`s challenged for bot.

 

So it linked me to a project honeyspot , here it is https://www.projecthoneypot.org/ip_117.239.35.58

 

BJafBXw.png

 

 

 

So i was wondering how the bots / hackers were able to get bsnl.in email id`s ? Wasnt those reserved only for BB users ?

 

Or am i missing something here ?

 

Depending on your replies , i will see if it can be reported to BSNL nodal officers.

 

Why ? because many times, on many websites i have been challenged , since we users fall into those IP`s and legitimate users are put through these challenges .

Digital Player which can play HD + 5.1 / An alternate to PS3 ?

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 08:46 PM PST

I use PS3 to watch movies as it pretty much doubles are media hub , but its lack to support MKV and so many hours trying to convert mkv to readable ones by ps3, is making me to look for alternatives.

 

A small player, not a dvd/bluray kind of player , but a small device which can run video/audio/pictures from USB/network/HDD and also support 5.1 output via Optical.

 

Can anyone suggest a good such player ?

Info: Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames

Posted: 12 Feb 2014 06:59 PM PST

 

 

There are three common reasons why Gmail users think they're receiving someone else's mail. Please select the description that matches your situation below.

Your address is similar but has more or fewer dots (.) or different capitalization.
Sometimes you may receive a message sent to an address that looks like yours but has a different number or arrangement of periods. While we know it might be unnerving if you think someone else's mail is being routed to your account, don't worry: both of these addresses are yours.

 

Gmail doesn't recognize dots as characters within usernames, you can add or remove the dots from a Gmail address without changing the actual destination address; they'll all go to your inbox, and only yours. In short:

homerjsimpson@gmail.com = hom.er.j.sim.ps.on@gmail.com
homerjsimpson@gmail.com = HOMERJSIMPSON@gmail.com
homerjsimpson@gmail.com = Homer.J.Simpson@gmail.com

All these addresses belong to the same person. You can see this if you try to sign in with your username, but adding or removing a dot from it. You'll still go to your account.
 

If you get mail that seems to be intended for someone else, it's likely that the sender entered the wrong address, just like if you've ever dialed a wrong phone number for someone. In these cases, we suggest contacting the original sender or website when possible to alert them to the mistake.

One last thing: Google Apps does recognize dots. If you'd like to have a dot in your username, please ask your domain administrator to add your preferred username as a nickname.
