Why do most of the CD/DVD drives stop working?

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 11:47 AM PST

I also stopped using them. Pendrive/External HDD for data backup & online for downloads. Very rarely do nowadays I need discs to install software - most of it is online. Only when system crashes (which is less when compared to my earlier years) do I need a set of discs to install Windows,Office & other basic stuff. Otherwise I download rest all from the web.

Heights of Laziness.....No Offence. I also have the same problem. My DTH AV is connected to the rear AV input and whenever i want to use my DVD i put the DVD AV to the front AV input. In my TV if AV is connected with both front & rear, it will work only with front. The moment i remove front AV cable DTH works. No hardwork compare to using the switch button.

FYI:: Exclusive No More Unlimited GPRS & 3G Data Plans From BSNL

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 10:16 AM PST

so guys !!!!!!!!!!!! who charged 4200rs including me are lucky persons for few months after that, we need to think does we continue bsnl3g or go back to BB home plans..

i think they slapped the customers because these days unlimited plans cause a serious problem with 3g browsing speeds and also another issue is they are going to upgrade 14.1 mbps and 21.1 mbps in (some cities) within 2 mnths. enjoying 21 mbps speed in 1500rs unlimted plan is something extra ordinary and no were in the world enjoying this much speed in this price...so they rethink for attaining mutual benefit...

Sim Crash

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 09:36 AM PST

Recently I bought a BSNL 3G sim and recharged for Rs.4200 and I also bought the Huawei UMG 1831 USB Modem. It worked fine for 2 weeks and then my sim crashed. I thought it was a manufacturing defect and bought a new BSNL 3G sim. Its not even been 2 days with this new 3G sim and it has crashed again. Both the times it was working fine till my last use but the sim showed it had crashed when I inserted it the next time. My USB Modem says that sim is not being recognised and when I insert the sim in the phone it says "sim crash : contact serive provider". I am using it on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and can anyone tell me what could possibly have gone wrong?

We can do it even now. Only we have to give access to Twitter application on FB and link our Twitter account to it. Then Twitter post appears as status messages in FB.

BTW Twitter should start charging for commercial accounts like those by products/companies. Their Twitter account is a whole website in its own for that product/service.

Ideal size for Tablet Size - 7 inch or 10 inch ??

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 08:28 AM PST

i will prefer the bigger one like 10 inch as this will good for reading and watching the movie also ... about 7 inch tablet i don't think any one carry the same in back pocket so need to carry with case in that scence also 10 inch is better and also you can hold it better way in hand...

about 7inch ipad .. they can do the same like iPhone nano/mini (rumors ) they can bring that one in future .. to target the middle range product .. may be something like 200 $ starting range .. to make it reachable for masses

Sony is pissing on famous hacker Geohotz.

Posted: 15 Feb 2011 07:22 AM PST

Geohotz does not need any introduction if you use apple product and you have unlocked iphone by yourself. Right now, Geohotz is having hard time.
Geohotz was the first hacker who brought first software based unlock for iphone.
Also he hacked sony play station.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
California Court Approves Sony Restraining Order Against GeoHot
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Well, doesn't look like we will be getting GeoHot's (whose real name is George Hotz) untethered iOS 4.2 jailbreak anytime soon. What's worse is that Sony seems to be trying to make an example of the dude with a lawsuit. According to the Washington Post, a recently filed restraining order against the famed hacker, was recently granted by the courts. This was over the key he released that allowed for PlayStation 3 owners to put another operating system on their console.

Sony's claim is that it opened the door to piracy. While it's true that the other OS feature does open the door to piracy, it doesn't necessarily mean that GeoHot condones piracy. He's gone on the record saying that (of course we can't read the guy's mind, either).

We don't claim to be legal experts, but as far as we know jailbreaking a device is legal. The restraining order bars him from releasing the code, and forces him to remove it from his website despite the fact that it's already all over the internet. He must also turn over all his computers, hard drives and anything else that can be used as evidence.

Simple, right? Just delete anything you don't want them to see. Not so fast, as that would probably just be considered attempting to destroy evidence, and get him into real trouble. Let's just hope he doesn't have some strange kind of porn or nudie pics saved on his computer.

Anyone else think Sony should just hire him to help build security into their next system?

Reply is very very interesting, funny and challenging to Sony.

iPhone Hacker Geohot Raps It Out At Sony: Video
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
As you are probably aware, iPhone jailbreak master Geoge Hotz, also known as Geohot is in a spot of bother with Sony over his Geohot’s jailbreak for the PS3 so much so that Sony is taking Geohot along with the failOverflow team to court.

I haven’t looked into all the technical and law wrangling of the dispute as it is for the PS3 but as Geohot is known for his jailbreaking of the iPhone I thought I’d pass this along and apparently you can sift through the information on the lawsuit if you wish by hitting up Here.

However, Geohot isn’t bowing down to Sony and has now apparently come up with a rap, which has been posted to YouTube and comes our way courtesy of the guys over at Daily Mobile and you can view Geohot rapping below.

Here are the lyrics to Geohot’s rap…(warning contains bad language)

Yo it’s geohot
And for those that don’t know
I’m getting sued by Sony

Let’s take this out of the courtroom and into the streets
I’m a beast, at the least, you’ll face me in the northeast
Get my ire up, light my fire
I’ll go harder than Eminem went at Mariah
Call me a liar
Pound me in the ass with no lube, chafing
You’re ****ing with the dude who got the keys to your safe and
Those that can’t do bring suits
Cry to your Uncle Sam to settle disputes
Thought you’d tackle this with a little more tact
But then again fudgepackers, I don’t know Jack

I shed a tear everytime I think of Lik Sang
But shit man, they’re a corporation
And I’m a personification of freedom for all
You fill dockets, like thats a concept foreign to y’all
While lawyers muddy water and TROs stall
Out of business is jail for me
And you’re suing me civilly

Exhibit this in the courtroom
Go on, do it, I dare you

Furthermore if you would like to download the MP3 you can do so by heading Here. So head on down and hit that play button, and if you like as Geohot says, want to “take this out of the courtroom and into the streets” download that MP3…enjoy.

Exactly. I was mad about steffi, till date my fav sports person.

The most important thing was the grace with which she used to carry herself. No show offs, truly professional.

She struggled a lot personally during teenage when her father forced her into professional tennis at the age of 14 (think so)

Then the phase where in her father was imprisoned due to tax issues, she cried just once during this phase. She had split from her boy friend then.(the race driver)

No one could ever come close to her for being an icon.

I dont remember missing any grandslam match of hers, may be my memory wont support sometimes but many memories are still afresh.

And Mukesh's Reliance is different to Anil's. They still will be different. Reliance Industries has BWA spectrum (in which it will deploy LTE services). Reliance Communications has 3G spectrum in which it will deploy 3G services based on WCDMA (not to be confused with CDMA).

Internet come with it's own advantages, what do you think are the advantages of Wireless internet over wireline ones?
The obvious reasons are mobility and now with Wireless Broadband you don't have to compromise on the speeds either. So now, whether you are in a coffee shop or in your car, you will have internet on the go. They are portable and easy to carry. No wires and no hassle.
Some of the foremost providers of data cards are Reliance Netconnect, Tata Photon and MTS in India.

BSNL 3G: Mobile SIM can be used in Data Card?

When a person buys a data card BSNL provides a sim with it.Its just a normal 3g sim with a "normal mobile number" which you can buy individually also.Its just that BSNL provides it as a package with data card.The activation procedure,recharging,topup are all the same for that sim too.You can also use that sim in any gsm mobile and make calls and stuff.If you have a third party data card (unlocked btw) you may use this sim in that card too.

Which services you use on that 3g sim depends on the plan you have chosen (voice plan) or (data plan).The data card has no relation to the 3g sim.You catching my drift.

I ll tell you what I did.That will clear this up.

I first got a 3g sim for 59 rupees.After it got activated, I recharged it with 120 rupees.This 120 rupees recharge put me in the GL-120 plan.I got 200MB of free usage plus 150 rupees of talktime.I used a lot of net on the mobile itself and also connected it to the pc via usb cable and did net on the pc too using mobile as a modem.I depleted the 200MB of free usage within few hours.After it got over whenever i did some net my account balance started decreasing as I got charged for data usage.This was normal. Next thing I did was got a recharge of 1500 for unlimited data plan.The actual cost is 1499 but in certain circles its 1500.Its a normal recharge.Nothing different. Once i did the recharge I got a message recharge successfully done. Then i started using net.There was no decrease in the balance amount as I was now in unlimited internet plan.Later on I got a data card from ebay.Inserted the sim into it and using it to do net on the pc.

Thats it.

Finally few of my doubts are clear after reading your post. I have just 1 more doubt though if you could help me clear out. The thing is I want to buy bsnl 3G Sim. I want to know if I buy a normal sim for Rs 59 and top it up with Rs 99 (gives unlimited 3g service for iPad for 1 day) will i be getting iPad 3g Service on the sim activated?
