The Ubuntu Edge is a very ambitious smartphone that'll be capable of running a full-fledged Ubuntu desktop operating system alongside Android. While specs are currently tentative, the company is aiming to outfit the Edge with a quad-core CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Meanwhile, the phone itself will sport a 4.5-inch, 1,280 x 720 display that's constructed of sapphire crystal glass, an 8MP rear / 2MP front-facing camera and stereo speakers. As for connectivity, Canonical's eyeing LTE, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, along with MHL support.

West of Memphis is an examination of a failure of justice in Arkansas. The documentary tells the hitherto unknown story behind an extraordinary and desperate fight to bring the truth to light. Told and made by those who lived it, the filmmakers' unprecedented access to the inner workings of the defense, allows the film to show the investigation, research and appeals process in a way that has never been seen before; revealing shocking and disturbing new information about a case that still haunts the American South.

TataSky migrating to MPEG4; will exchange MPEG2 STBs free of cost

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 09:14 AM PDT

We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.

 

But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels

 

 

 

We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

Wireless Speakers For House

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 09:08 AM PDT

Hello,

 

So, I've been to some houses, especially in the USA and they have this system where they have one music player somewhere in the house and then they can control speakers wirelessly that are set up across the house in various different rooms? Like one speaker per room or something?

 

Or can I just buy one music player and then just stick speakers in different rooms?

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

Tata DOCOMO INTERNET APN does not work most of the times

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 07:25 AM PDT

Hi, since last month I've been using internet booster card on my android mobile with TATA DOCOMO number. When I put the sim first time in the mobile I received three APN settings, one for browsing their portal which is Tata Docomo Dive In, one for MMS and one for all other activities which is Tata Docomo Internet. But most of the time my mobile is not able to connect to the Tata Docomo Internet APN which is for general propose, but some times when it does connects i get good speed and able to access internet normally. But I can connect to the other APN Tata Docomo Dive In without a problem which is for accessing their portal but with Tata Docomo Dive In setting I'm not able to access internet through any apps like facebook, opera mini, maps and etc. I tried calling customer care but it turned out to be no use :( I think Docomo is trying to cheat people by offering cheap net plans which is of no use... Any solutions??? Or anyone else facing such problem?

Downloading torrents through Router to usb pendrive / hard disk

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 07:07 AM PDT

I have a Asus RT N13U. This router has a USB port & has a service built in to download via torrents to an attached pendrive or hard disk.

 

I have not got around to trying this. Mostly use my laptop to download torrents.

 

Anyone out there using this service on a router to download directly to an attached storage device ? How convenient is this ?

 

Would changing the firmware of the router to open source firmwares like DD-WRT or Tomato help in any better way ?

Reliance Broadband Thunder Plan not working for more than 15 days at Alandur, Chennai

Posted: 22 Jul 2013 06:46 AM PDT

Hi All,

 

Started using Reliance after being fed up with Airtel Broadband :nono:  for almost nine months now. Sadly, Reliance stopped working on 29th June & is down till date. There were some downtime for couple of days on early June as well.

 

When called up Customer Care, the worst you can talk to, pathetic responses which wont take you anywhere. I wonder how these guys are hired to do the job, were they being monitored at all? service team has no stringent timelines?? 

 

Managed to talk to a local guy who is refusing to give any technicians number & is saying "your issue will be solved today !" anyday you call him. 

 

I read a post who said it didn't work for him for 75 days... that's way more PATIENCE which i don't have !

Anyone else from Chennai Alandur facing such issues? i need to know if its just happening for me. they are getting into my nerves if i call them, today i happen to talk to customer care & the guy on the other end says "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Our system is slow. can you call after 10 minutes?"

 

One of those worst days :numbness: , sad you don't have a reliable service in our country, I wish only if BSNL comes up with such competitive plans as they are way expensive compared to competitors.

 

People who cant afford downtime are doomed here  :pissed-off:
