Celebrities expressed grief over the demise of veteran actor Jagdish Raj, who had the record of playing a police officer 144 times in various Bollywood films. Jagdish, the famous police officer of Bollywood, passed away yesterday at his Juhu residence following respiratory ailment. He was 85.

70s & 80s movie watchers will know him pretty well...

HYDERABAD: Eleven days after TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao began an indefinite fast for Telangana, the Centre on Wednesday announced that the process of formation of a separate state was being set into motion and that a resolution to this effect would be moved in the Andhra Pradesh assembly shortly.

Hi guys, 

Last week I obtained a Static IP from MTNL which was required for a couple of work relates accesses. Since then I have been facing weird issues - using the Freedom 800 plan, during the day time when the speed is supposed to be 512 kbps, Wifi connects but no site can be loaded, no app works, essentially nothing works - however signal strength is full and connection is prompt, at the same time etehernet works fine - no issue. Issue is only with WLAN.

When I connect post 11pm - wifi works great, all sites load, apps too work fine... what's the issue? Contacted MTNL 7 times... no solution... all they do it check ADSL...

Can't be a modern or router issue as wifi singal is full and connection is prompt - data transfer is also normal post 11pm... has to be ISP issue...

What can I do to solve this?

Ouch!

The standards of Engish language in Sikkim has stooped to a new low. A look at the Class V text books shows glaring errors. The error can be witnessed in just one page of the Elementary Environment Science text book.

The Chief Minister is named 'Thief Minister'. Four officials have been suspended over the incident.
Among other howlers, Hectares are 'hectores' and certified is 'cerelified'. The textbook has been published by Delhi-based Tulip Publications. Teachers have been asked to make corrections in textbook.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has invalidated Apple's iconic "pinch-to-zoom" patent.

Samsung discovered that the patent was invalidated after going over Apple's records in the ongoing legal battle between the two companies.

Samsung wants to use this latest evidence to justify its demand for a new trial because "Pinch-to-zoom" was one of the Apple patents a jury found Samsung guilty of infringing.

Apple won the initial ruling against Samsung. If the ruling stands, Samsung will have to pay Apple a little more than $1 billion.

Just curious. No one responded to the PMs related to my 2012 edition. :\ Was I asking for too much? :\ 

Hello,

I am a student currently trying to gather data on Online Shopping Behavior in India. It would be really great if you can help me complete the following short completely anonymous survey.

Thanks in advance..

"To give you a reason to switch, I need to make sure the apps that you care about on your device are not only on our phones, but are better. I also need to provide you unique experiences that you can't get on your other devices." 

 

"We are trying to evolve the cultural thinking [at Microsoft] to say 'time is of the essence.' Waiting until the end of your fiscal year when you need to close your targets, doesn't do us any good when I have phones to sell today."

 

"People rely on applications for their day-to-day life and if you don't have something which I use in my day-to-day life I'm not going to switch [operating systems] because I don't want to compromise the way I live my life just to switch to a phone."

 

"It's not just about the hardware, it's about the tools that are on the hardware. You can't sell a phone without the apps, you just can't."

 

He says that by the end of 2013, Windows Phone will be at a point where "people will be hard-pressed to say '[Windows Phone] doesn't have this app' and it makes a material difference. I don't think there will be any [app developers] we don't have commercial agreements with, and so maybe it's not published by the end of the year but it will be published before the end of [March]. "

 

"As a company we don't want to rely on somebody else and sit and wait for them to get it right."

Now… This show is definitely not for everyone and as I have already read that a couple of you have tried it and given up on it. I am currently on season 6 and I have enjoyed it so far. It's from the late 90s so it's not really what you would call cutting edge. But I love it for its humor. I have always been a big fan of MacGyver. All characters have their own charms. The chemistry between them is amazing. Especially when you talk about alient characters like Thor. If you need something for the long haul. Something that you want to enjoy between your regular shows… you might want to consider it. It's huge. There are spin-offs. I have not really explored what happens after SG-1. I started with the movie Stargate and then picked up this series. There are 10 seasons. Around 22 episodes each. Could last you several months. Would be totally worth it. I have seen 6 seasons in 2-3 weeks and basically I am going through the same joyride I went through when I saw the entire Doctor Who franchise (from the latest installment starting with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth doctor). Along with the nightmares of course. Instead of daleks, I just see Goa'ulds. lol

Just a poll to see the ratio of happy and sad customers.

thanking you,

Same scam. Textual content costs them nothing. You would pay when you load images and links. Freaking nuisance. Of course, on Android devices, you would end up paying a lot more for background internet activity as well. If you are already paying for a data plan, your savings would be negligible.

Here is the link.

I have the above plan , earlier I was on a higher plan but their broadband service was so pathetic that I decided to stop looking at Airtel as my main broadband provider .I have continued this connection as a fallback and for the landline

Guess what , the other day my regular broadband had a hitch and I am supposedly getting 2GB with 2Mbps under my Smart combo plan and I am paying monthly 550 INR for it ,for the first time when I switched to Airtel broadband in 3 months , it does not work I do not even get continous 256kbps speed for browsing forget 2Mbps ..I do not know what they are charging me INR 550 for monthly .

I needed the landline so I have continued their number ..but the thought that they are taking me for a ride gets me ..Same kind of anger I used to feel when I see the a crooked rickshaw guy showing me his rigged rickshaw meter and asking me to pay more

Hello everyone,

Can anyone please tell me which is the best wired broadband (No FUP) in east delhi. I m a heavy downloader. I have heard of MTNL, Reliance, Pacenet, Spectranet etc. I heard that reliance is providing 4mbps thunder plans. Please tell me more abt it. Is it worth to install in my area? How's the performance of it in east delhi? or is there any other ISP which has better network in east delhi. Please do reply.

Thanks in advance.

 

The so-called "FairSearch" coalition is essentially asking the European Commission to favour a restrictive business model over a liberal one. This is exactly the opposite of what competition regulators should do in order to achieve a fair and open market.

Interestingly enough, Bill Gates was recently quoted as saying this... 

 

Congress MP from Haryana Birender Singh said at a programme that "once someone had told me that Rs 100 crore was required to get a Rajya Sabha berth. But he said he got it for Rs 80 crore and saved Rs 20 crore. Now will people who are willing to invest Rs 100 crore, ever think of the poor country."
