It appears to be in the process of doing so to a little over 300 employees across departments. Sources in the company say the bulk of those asked to go are from the CNN-IBN and IBN7 channels.

 

A friend of mine worked there. He recently left his job largely because he knew this was coming and it was better to leave than getting fired.

Fragile Sim Slots or Sockets

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 10:22 AM PDT

Micromax data cards sim socket is so fragile.

I am using Micromax MMX 353 G data card. Its sim socket is very weak and fragile. Little rough handling can break its socket. I wonder whether the sim sockets of other universal dongles (supporting all networks) are equally weak and fragile. Please share your experience with other data cards.

I am from LaxmaReddy Nagar(HayathNagar), Hyderabad..

 

Thanks.


We moved to Laxma Reddy Nagar 8 months ago, from day 1 we could not watch some channles  on Hathway from morning  to Evening around 6 due to poor signal. We are tired of complaining but our Local Cable Operator doesn't care a bit.


Our Local operator name is Anil Reddy, Sree Sai Ram Cable Networks(Pedda Amberpet, HayathNagar)

Speakers for around Rs. 2,000

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 07:44 AM PDT

Primary requirement is compact size. There is little space available so need something that does not require that third box (subwoofer?). 


Another requirement... No USB speakers. Want the 3.5mm Jack versions.

Is Airtel blocking torrents on 3G?

Works fine on VPN. Else, moment the torrent is started, net stalls completely and I need to disconnect and reconnect again to make it work.

Anybody else facing similar issues?

Suggest a Portable music system

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 06:23 AM PDT

Please suggest a Portable Music system that has:

 

1. CD, MP3 CD player

2. FM/AM radio

3. USB MP3/audio playback.

4. Decent enough audio for one room.

 

I found this one. Would prefer a known brand. Open to a smaller brand like Mitashi/Onida if price difference is big enough.

ACT Broadband not working

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 05:16 AM PDT

Dear ACT,

 

I've had ACT broadband connection in Indiranagar for the past 8 months now.Since the past 24 hours, my broadband hasn't been working and issue is unresolved till now. The complain id is 0001141783. This is the first major outage I've had which has stayed beyond 1 hour and is affecting my work badly as I need to rely on slow speed connections. I don't mind restarting my modem every 24 hours which I have been doing since the beginning to resolve the issue whenever I experienced lack of connectivity. But this time it has extended far too long. Request you to look into this urgently and resolve the issue.

Patanjali branded products

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 04:44 AM PDT

So, a local shop is running a special offer. Buy 'Indian Made Stuff' for above Rs. 1000 and you get some products from this company free. Mom told me that this brand is owned by Ramdev. The brochures of the brand in the shop claimed that they are an Indian brand which sell products at zero profits to benefit the people of India. And some propaganda was there to promote buying Indian made items alone and whatever.

Not sure I like the propaganda part.

Strike back

Posted: 17 Aug 2013 04:41 AM PDT

Synopsis:
Strike Back: Project Dawn, as it is known in the United Kingdom (or just Strike Back in the United States) is a ten-part British-American action serial television series, and the follow up series of Strike Back. However the only cast member to return from the original series was Richard Armitage in his cameo appearance. It was a co-production between British broadcaster, BSkyB (for Sky1) and American premium cable broadcaster, HBO (for Cinemax). The series follows the actions of Section 20, a secret branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).

My opinion:
This show is better than it needs to be. A season has 10 episodes, with a mission per 2 episodes taking place in different locations around the world. There will be a overarching story connecting the 10 episodes. It's like watching 5 decent action movies shot within a TV budget. They still use the locations very well. The action is well choreographed. Being a cinemax (skinimax) show, you can sense the nudity around the corner but it's not really gratuitous like in Starz shows. The first UK season only has 6 episodes but I didn't watch that season. It was revamped in the second season called Strike Back: Project Dawn. I only started watching the show from the second season. The first 2 episodes in Strike Back: Project Dawn takes place in India.

The 2-hour premiere of the third season called Strike Back: Vengeance premiered last Friday.
