Nokia 520 and 720 given the nod in Indonesia, could be a pair of new Lumias

Posted Image

Nokia's already got the Lumia 620, 820 and 920 in its hand, but could it be going for a running flush? That's the question we find ourselves asking, after a filing from Indonesia's POSTEL, a regulatory body much like the FCC in the US, declares that a Nokia "520 / RM-914" and "720 / RM-885" have successfully completed testing.

The new film by Brian Knappenberger, director of We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists follows internet activist and programming pioneer Aaron Swartz from his teenage emergence on the internet scene and involvement in RSS and Reddit, to his growing interest in political advocacy and the controversial actions he allegedly took in downloading nearly four million academic articles from the online service JSTOR.  The film explores Aaron's arrest, the prosecution's tactics in bringing the case to trial through the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the CFAA, and the impact a seemingly small hacking gesture had on Aaron's life and the possible future of information access on the internet.

Classic Bollywood With a Twist

Posted: 02 May 2014 03:16 AM PDT


 

The full music video for Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho releases on Friday, 2nd May.
This is the first single to be released off The Bartender's upcoming album, 'Classic Bollywood With a Twist'. This video won the Jury Award for the Best Music Video at the Noida International Film Festival 2014, and embodies the concept of 'All the worlds a stage, and all the men & women merely players', a section of the monologue from Shakespeare's 'As you Like It'.
In this album, Mikey McCleary has chosen some of the most loved songs from the 50s, 60s and 70s and reinterprets them with jazzy, seductive and mischievous flare using various genres and a predominantly live band feel.
Says Mikey McCleary, 'A beautiful song is like a beautiful woman. The musical arrangements are like the clothes that she wears. The music recordings, much like clothes, may appear old and outdated to the younger generation, but the beauty of the song composition and lyrics are eternal. My goal is to give that beautiful song new clothes that suit and enhance her beauty for all to see afresh and enjoy. I personally also still love listening to the old recordings.'
Several remixes have damaged old songs. The Bartender's songs are not remixes. It's like Mikey has imagined what the old music arrangers would have done with the music back then if they had today's technology at their finger tips.
Song : Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe Ho
Album : The Bartender-Classic Bollywood with a twist
Artist : Anushka Manchanda
Composer : Jagjit Singh
Music Arranger & Producer : Mikey McCleary
Lyricist : Kaifi Azmi
Video Actor : Yuki Ellias
Video Director : Vasudha Rungta

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Posted: 02 May 2014 03:11 AM PDT

Peter Jackson retitles The Hobbit part three The Battle of the Five Armies | Film | theguardian.com
 

The final film in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy has been retitled The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
The New Zealand film-maker made the announcement on his Facebook page following weeks of speculation surrounding the movie, which was previously titled There and Back Again. The third instalment of Jackson's adaptation of JRR Tolkien's book is due in cinemas this December. The Oscar-winning director said the change had been made because the old title no longer felt right for a trilogy, having been conceived back when the film-makers planned a two-part adaptation of the 1937 fantasy fable.
"There and Back Again felt like the right name for the second of a two films telling of the quest to reclaim Erebor, when Bilbo's arrival there, and departure, were both contained within the second film," wrote Jackson. "But with three movies, it suddenly felt misplaced - after all, Bilbo has already arrived 'there' in the Desolation of Smaug.
"When we did the premiere trip late last year, I had a quiet conversation with the studio about the idea of revisiting the title. We decided to keep an open mind until a cut of the film was ready to look at. We reached that point last week, and after viewing the movie, we all agreed there is now one title that feels completely appropriate. And so: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies it is."

Kaun Banega Crorepati Updates

Posted: 02 May 2014 03:03 AM PDT

KBC makers on the hot seat, fined Rs 1 cr

New Delhi: Arguably the most successful game show in Indian television Kaun Banega Crorepati was on Thursday adjudged unfair in certain aspects by the National Consumer Commission which imposed a fine of Rs 1 crore on broadcaster Star TV and the sponsor Airtel.

"Star Plus TV and Bharti Airtel Limited are held to have violated the provisions of Consumer Protection Act in conducting the 'Har Seat Hot Seat' (HSHS) contest which was in conjunction with the main television show Kaun Banega Crorepati and thereby adopted unfair trade practice," the Commission presided by Justice M B Shah said.

The Commission, also comprising members Rajyalakshmi Rao and Anupam Dasgupta, held that in 52 episodes of KBC-3 the telecom company and the channel made a profit of Rs 8.12 crore out of the SMSes sent by viewers to participate in the contest.

"Considering the large amount of profit earned and large number of consumers affected, this would be a fit case for imposing punitive damage of Rs 1 crore," it said.

Popular TV game show KBC, hosted by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan between January 22 to April 19, 2007, was sponsored by Airtel.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

Posted: 02 May 2014 01:54 AM PDT

Since late last year, rumors began firing off about a potential "Transformers" sequel or sequels, and they ran the gamut. Paramount might film two sequels back to back. Michael Bay might return for both. Jason Statham may be the new star. Rumors came and went, but perhaps the biggest question lingered: Will Bay return to direct?

Tech Review: Hathway DOCSIS 3.0 Network based 50 Mbps Internet Plans

Posted: 02 May 2014 01:06 AM PDT

It's almost a week since I got the fastest Broadband I have ever used in India. I am talking about the recently launched Hathway's DOCSIS 3.0 Network. Infact it is faster than what I used in UK - 20 Mbps from Virgin on Fibre. Time to write a review while comparing it with my previous experience with MTNL. The last plan which I used was MTNL 8 Mbps connection paying INR 1050 (excluding tax) with a download limit of 28 GB.

 

Pros -
1. Lightning fast speed which is comparable to many other developed countries. Also this comes at very affortable rates. For pre-paid subscribers you pay INR 3370 including taxes but excluding Installation charges for quaterly subscription. This is for HD3 Plan with 25 GB download limit per month and 1 MPBS post 25 GB limit. The upload speed is also excellent - at 10 Mbps speed it is just what I wanted to uplod my HD videos on youtube.
2. You can watch all favourite recorded International TV soaps on youtube and other site owing to the excellent speed.
3. You can play online games without any lags.
4. Free Public Static IP. You will not get this free of cost with many other Broadband service providers.
5. Didn't find any Port Blockings as my IP Phone continues to work.
6. Easy Network configuration for a layman.
7. 24/7 Helpdesk.


Cons -
1. Sales team not trained enough to answer any technical question. They don't know the difference between Private IP and Public IP. They are unable to say on which Interface the IP will get assigned. I had to wait for the Modem to arrive and connect it to my Router to understand that the IP gets assigned on the LAN Interface of the Modem which connects to your PC or Router.
2. The Bandwidth usage on their website is not password protected and you can check some one else's usage if you know their user name.
3. The Bandwidth usage doesn't give hourly usage details. The MTNL website is much better which provides hourly session based usage details.
4. Though it is a 24/7 Helpdesk, the executives only answer standard set of questions and are not sufficiently trained on technical front.

 

Other Technical details -

1. The Internet is offered through traditional TV cables, but end user receives it on Ethernet.

2. I have been provided with a Skyworth CM4100 modem. I was not provided with any manual and was a bit sceptical since not much documentation is yet available on the Net. Till the point of time your Modem is activated on the Network you can connect your PC to it's Ethernet (LAN) port and through DHCP auto-config you will be assigned an IP 192.168.100.2 . You can thus connet to the Modem's web interface by keying in http://192.168.100.1 on your web browser. But please note that this is a read-only interface, doesn't require any login. You cannot configure anything here since all Provisioning will be done remotely by Hathway. The funny thing is that once your Modem is activated by Hathway remotely and you are live on the Network, you will get assigned a Static Public IP through DHCP when you connect your PC. I have used a D-Link DSL-2750U ADSL Router with Russian firmware (learnt the same from India Broadband Forum) and now LAN Port 1 is an Ethernet WAN Port which is assigned the Static IP.
3. You can register on a website like dyndns.com or noip.com and register a DNS name for your IP and may be host some Web Servers on the Net.
4. You can introduce Cloud based Content Filtering at Home by using OpenDNS.com DNS Servers - 208.67.222.222 , 208.67.220.220 , register yourself on the site and block websites based on categories. OpenDNS.com also provides you a Dashboard which provides excellent report about the websites being used on your Home Network.
5. Do remember that since this is a very high speed Net connection and you need to decide very quickly on any video streaming site whether you want to watch the Video, because as soon as you click almost the entire video gets cache/downloaded within seconds and that gets counted against your monthly Bandwidth limit.

 

Will keep updating this article as and when things strike me. Do get back to me if you have any questions. Drop me your email address and I will respond back.
