Mallya delighted with Fisichella's performance
Force India looks set to step up its relationship with Ferrari for 2009. Not only will the Silverstone based team continue to use a customer engine built by the famous Italian marque next year, Force India is reportedly planning to run a KERS energy-recovery system that is also developed by Maranello-based Ferrari.

"We will run a Ferrari engine and the electronics of Magneti Marelli," team co-owner Vijay Mallya, apparently referring to the introduction next year of a system that will store and re-use energy captured under braking, is quoted as saying by the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport.

Ferrari confirmed recently that its engine and electronics departments have been merged ahead of the major regulation change for 2009.

Force India, however, will continue to build its own gearbox, and the outfit's first 'quick shift' transmission will be introduced at the Hungarian Grand Prix in August.

Mallya said he was delighted in Bahrain, where Force India driver Giancarlo Fisichella finished ahead of the highly rated McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton.

"I could not hide my laughter,:hysterical:" the Indian billionaire said. "In Bahrain, our team made one more step forwards.:thumbsup:"

Team tips Nakajima to impress in '09

Sunday, 09 November 2008 10:23

Williams' chief operations engineer Rod Nelson thinks Kazuki Nakajima will take a big leap forward next season now that he has got his rookie year out of the way.

The young Japanese driver had a quietly impressive first full year of Formula 1, shaking off the wild reputation he had earned in the junior categories and delivering five points finishes.

Nakajima also steadily closed the gap to his highly-rated team-mate Nico Rosberg, eventually out-qualifying the rapid German on four occasions.

Frequent disconnection Airtel 4mbps DSL & Gigabit Lan

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 02:32 AM PST

Hello forum,

I am having this problem for the past 6 months now, wherein the broadband disconnects for 5-10 minutes on its own accord. This happens irregularly and without any specified time period, sometimes every half an hour sometimes once in an hour. I have a Dlink DSL- 2520U ADSL 2+ router connected to a Dlink 8 Port - Gigabit Switch. We use this connection in our office and about 6-7pc's are connected to the wired gigabit network. My Linksys wireless G broadband router is also connected to the switch. I am enclosing a screenshots of the ping values both with the modem and airtel's server when this happens. When this happens the DSL and Internet light on the modem are both onstable in green color showing that the line is active and functional.

Posted Image

I have gotten airtel to check there backend repeatedly and they say that this is a problem at my end. Could it some malware which is acting up or any other configuration issue. After reading up on this problem i had tried disabling ADSL and ADSL 2+ and enabling G.dmt in my modem settings. After doing that speedtest showed that my download speed dropped to 1.5mbps from ~4mbps. I do not want to compromise on my speed for a more stable connection.

Please let me know if you need more information from my end to resolve this problem.

thanks!

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 02:14 AM PST

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

Ordered Samsung Chromebook for Dad through iShop International!

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 01:57 AM PST

http://broadbandforum.in/online-shopping/70708-purchased-samsung-n-series-np/

The netbook I purchased for dad through the above thread has well died. Samsung service center guys said that motherboard has gone bad. Repair charges? 4700. The netbook cost me around Rs. 12500 so I dropped the idea of getting it repaired.

So, I need a new laptop type product for dad. Now ideally I still want to buy him a Chromebook like last time around. But they are STILL NOT ON SALE in India.

Here are the two queries…

1. Is there any safe way to import a Chromebook from USA? Lots of folks here imported their Nexus 4 from USA… How about a Chromebook?
2. If importing a Chromebook is not that good of an idea… What else? He is currently trying to make do with my Nexus 7 but smaller display does not work well for him. A netbook? A budget ultrabook?


Now, his requirements are simple. He just needs to keep an eye on stock prices. A browser is enough. Now the markets are open for around 6-7 hours right? So need a power backup that is at least 5-6 hours. More would be better. Now, I get it, expecting 6-7 hours of backup from a laptop these days has become a stupidity. This is why I am very interested in Samsung's ARM processor based Chromebook.

Suggestions?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with Android Ice Cream Sandwich?

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 01:54 AM PST

I just read it on AndroidOS...

Samsung announces Galaxy Tab 2 with Android 4.0 | AndroidOS.in

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 features 1GHz dual core processor (make unknown), Android 4.0, 1GB RAM, 7-inch PLS display with 1024×600p resolution, 3MP rear camera, front camera, and HSPA+ support.


Posted Image Posted Image

----------

ooh. i think they posted about it before engadget!

The redux doesn't mark a huge departure from its predecessor, packing a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and a 1024 x 600 LCD. The big changes, however, come in the software department, with the Galaxy Tab 2 shipping with Android 4.0 straight out of the box. Other than that, you'll find a three-megapixel rear-facing camera, a VGA shooter up front, WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities, along with HSPA+ connectivity.

Is it possible to use Blackberry without Blackberry Internet Services?

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 03:00 AM PST

A friend of mine is currently using BB with the Vodafone BIS 299 plan. He is able to use BB Messenger and Mails. But he is unable to browse using GPRS/EDGE.

 

He wants to deactivate the BIS plan and take a simple 2G GPRS plan using the same BB handset. He is willing to forgo BBM and Instant emails.

 

He wants to use regular 2G connection for browsing, GTalk and use GMail app.

 

Is it possible?

BSNL Broadband problems with Yahoo, MSN and Outlook

Posted: 26 Feb 2013 02:25 AM PST

Hello Everyone

From yesterday whenever I sent an email on outlook/hotmail it bounced back while emails on gmail did not have any issues. I didnt think much of it but today I found out that due to spamming by someone the entire range has been blacklisted and I can no longer send emails on outlook and related websites.

I dont think bsnl customer care people would be trained enough to understand what the problem is! So I would have to do something myself (Contact outlook and try and get the range delisted) or just wait for it to be delisted! No idea when it would be done.



Any other thing which can be done to solve the problem?

No Half Rate Calling Recharge for Vodafone Prepaid?

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 03:06 AM PST

Earlier I had used Special voucher of Rs 71 to cut call rates by half for Vodafone prepaid. But now there is no half rate plans available.
Now VF to VF is 1.2p/s and VF to other is 1.5p/s. Its getting costlier. Besides new sim are having flat 2p/s plans.
 
Besides paying higher rates, I am experiencing call quality decreased. Can't hear from other side for most of calls. What's going on with Vodafone?

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.

Windows 8 Stops Responding Once I Close And Open The Laptop Screen

Posted: 25 Feb 2013 02:58 AM PST

I have an acer aspire laptop and had installed windows 8 2 months ago. Everything worked fine but once after working on laptop,I closed the lid and when I opened it, the laptop stopped responding. So after half an hour I pressed the power off button and again booted it ..It didn't boot and after 2 tries, windows automatic repair came on screen and attempted to repair it..but even that got stuck(talk about irony). 

 

So again installed a new legit version of windows 8 4 days back. Everything worked fine till tonight when after watching a movie ,I closed the lid and when I opened it again, the laptop stuck. Again pressed the power off button and when I boot it again, it stopped responding. 

 

What should I do?

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.

Quote:
This Japan-bound offering measures up a 8.6mm thick, which while certainly no porker, is a bit more than those promises of a 6.5mm smartphone. However, there's still enough here to intrigue us, with a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, 13-megapixel camera, 32GB of built-in storage and a 2,350mAh battery rounding out a pretty respectable spec sheet. It's also going to be an important phone for the relatively small phone network too -- it's their first LTE smartphone.
