KBC makers on the hot seat, fined Rs 1 cr

New Delhi: Arguably the most successful game show in Indian television Kaun Banega Crorepati was on Thursday adjudged unfair in certain aspects by the National Consumer Commission which imposed a fine of Rs 1 crore on broadcaster Star TV and the sponsor Airtel.

"Star Plus TV and Bharti Airtel Limited are held to have violated the provisions of Consumer Protection Act in conducting the 'Har Seat Hot Seat' (HSHS) contest which was in conjunction with the main television show Kaun Banega Crorepati and thereby adopted unfair trade practice," the Commission presided by Justice M B Shah said.

The Commission, also comprising members Rajyalakshmi Rao and Anupam Dasgupta, held that in 52 episodes of KBC-3 the telecom company and the channel made a profit of Rs 8.12 crore out of the SMSes sent by viewers to participate in the contest.

"Considering the large amount of profit earned and large number of consumers affected, this would be a fit case for imposing punitive damage of Rs 1 crore," it said.

Popular TV game show KBC, hosted by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan between January 22 to April 19, 2007, was sponsored by Airtel.

The slate wouldn't be a barnstormer with a 1.8GHz Atom Z2760 and 2GB of RAM, but performance also wouldn't be its selling point -- the W3 would be small enough to fit in one hand while carrying the full software support of a PC. It will reportedly include front and rear cameras as well as a possible microSDHC slot, and the accessories we see in the purported leak involve both a tiny keyboard dock and a cover that doubles as a kickstand.

If U still doubt, I can post screenshot of my data downloaded from MTNL's site.

I am using this plan since Dec 2011. You can see that I have downloaded/Uploaded almost 340GB

Before I was thinking that this is temporary.

 

 

An odd couple of sorts, meditative and stern Alvin and his girlfriend's brother, Lance, dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humor and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection.

Rumor right now

LG Optimus G2 to have quad-core CPU, 1080p screen, Android 5.0

I have probably watched most of the older seasons on Star World but going through it from scratch considering it is a show that is still running and doing extremely well.



It is not the most exciting of shows but it does well nonetheless. I like the primary character because of his stupid smile and the way he handle things while narrating it to audience how he does it.

 

New X Series notebooks are designed with a spin-line finish that evokes sophistication and elegance. It has the ASUS-exclusive SonicMaster technology for clearer sound and deeper bass; a larger touchpad with intuitive multi-point Smart Gesture technology; and 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors and 2-second instant on. Powerful and stylish, X Series is an ideal daily multimedia computing platform.

 

I was drinking "WELL" water since kid and it turned out hard water almost a decade ago. Then started having METRO water(without chlorine) till now. That too not safe to drink coz it contains an oily substance when the water gets settled.

 

Now i've planned to use "WELL" water.

 

What should i go for? RO or UV? Both available in single unit?

 

 

Looks like mine has gone bad enough to make the phone unusuable on outstation trips.


I actually had to keep the phone in airplane mode to be able to use it when I actually needed it

 

Apple is expected to unveil its next iPhone at a special event on Sept. 10, sources told AllThingsD. Apple is also expected to formally launch the next version of Mac OS X, known as Mavericks, in the coming weeks, though that is not expected at the Sept. 10 event.

So, this app is slightly different. You share photos. You set the timer. The photo is deleted after that time from everywhere (your phone, your friend's phone and the company's server).

It also alerts you if the other person took a screenshot of the photo during that time period.

When i try to check my mail,yahoo messenger signs out saying that i've signed in another computer. Im sure i haven't changed any options lately. This is happening for the past 2 days.

 

P.S. It seems im the first in 2013 to ask a doubt regarding yahoo messenger

I thought it was already on sale in India!

Google launches a new invite only beta augmented reality game INGRESS
(http://pulse.me/s/fpavx)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticproject.ingress



Ingress is a game that uses real world locations to allow you play a global game via an Android smartphone, which is not unlike Shadow Cities, an Android game we looked at earlier. The goal in Ingress is to discover augmented reality clues and messages embedded in physical locales, and gather virtual energy which allows you to continue playing the game. The fictional premise of the game is centered on a conspiracy originating in Europe dealing with some new form of energy being released into various locations around the planet.

In order to gain access to the game you need to first sign up for an invite and have an Android smartphone available (the game isn't optimized for tablets). And while the game is currently set up for Android smartphones, it's hard to look at the game's promotional video and not instantly think of the Google Glass videos that have popped up since the introduction of the device. If that sounds like a stretch, keep in mind that Google has reportedly already made deals with real world stores to take advantage of the game, and secured in-game promotional relationships with companies like Jamba Juice, Hint Water, and Zipcar.

How do you get people to use and enjoy a product based on embedded advertisements in everything around you? Make it fun by making the process a game. Next step: Port the entire thing over to Google Glass. Genius. The game is available now for free in the Google Play store.

This looks awesome! I signed up for the beta.

Can anyone give me information regarding water quality in Shipra Suncity,  Indirapuram. I am getting conflicting views from everyone. Some are saying that water is fine and you'll not need a RO system, getting an UV water filter will be fine. Some are saying, RO is required and some are saying both RO & UV are required. Price range varies from 5k-16K and hence the confusion. One of my relatives in Ashiana Greens is using UV filter since the last 4-5 years and it works fine for him. If anyone has any knowledge regarding this, please let me know.

 

 

 

I added some framework extensions to +CyanogenMod to let any app which plays audio/video using the MediaPlayer to be sent to the Chromecast.

This supports both local content (stuff on the SD Card) and remote content (podcasts).

Rumor right now. 

The recent movies have almost been degrading to the great comic character Batman is. The best one I can remember was the one which had Michael Keaton as Batman in the year 1989. Then we had everyone from George Clooney (Batman & Robin 1997) to Val Kilmer (Batman Forever 1995). The latest movie is to release in the summer of 2005 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne aka Batman. The trailers are out at Apple QuickTime Site and the website shows some of the shots.

The new Batman Movie (Batman Begins) looks hot
