Petrol, LPG and Diesel price rise in India

lol. another thing now that you are talking about kids today. her new school (pre-nursery i believe or maybe nursery). they charged a fee of 2.25 lakhs. and did not even give details about what it constitutes of. no idea about how long it is for as well!

this is how the schools in delhi ncr works. a 4 year old kid in a fancy school can cost you 2-3 lakhs (and more in case of an even fancier school!) per annum. :P

lol yeah. my school had buses rented from haryana roadways. windows were broken. seats were uncomfortable. most of the time we had to stand through the entire journey. do not have nice memories of going to school and coming back as well!

Apple Maps

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 12:51 PM PDT

Ok.. Just posting my views here.. Will remove, if its felt offending..

dragon said : I would have understood if it was something small, but in Apple Maps, the whole application has it wrong!
IMNS says : For it to be something which was totally wrong, I'd think the app shouldn't even be able to get anything right.

What I perceive dragon to be saying is that the basics of how maps should work itself are wrong, whereas IMNS takes a more literal sense & argues its not 100% wrong. The problem I see here with him is that he takes a lot of quotes and statements literally and does not consider things like as used in a "figure of speech" or a metaphor.

Yes, I know that partial content is allowed but i was expecting full text in the App showing negative values (-67) like twitter show and I could edit the sms by removing the middle content and sent the sender name and contact number too (as visible in above pic).

But Still, this app works like charm. It was just a suggestion for future improvement. I am very happy with the app. Shared this with 10 people till now and all praised this app.

when you open the modem backend you would see a table with constantly updating values like snr margin etc. my problem with airtel was connected to that. the snr value was too low resulting in frequent disconnections. got the wiring changed and things have been very smooth now!

This feature is already present in current DVR. It looks gimmick. They mentioned " Watch One & Record Two " . So, the one we are watching also gets included in this two. Still I think someone should clarify with them through chat.

otherwise if true then it will likely to have 3 tuners and hence 3 satellite Line In Cables.

Exactly, They played with the words. If it would be " Watch One and Record Other Two " then it would sound more relevant.

My First Android?

Hmm, given the fact that almost all his other listed camera products have information about the warranty, the absence of the same on the rx100, looks kinda shady.
