Static IP improves service drastically

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 12:19 PM PDT

From past few days my service was just pathetic. i am having a 2mbps unlimited plan on which download speed was 2mbps but the upload speed was around 400kbps. There were issues of packet drop and high pings. So a guy from tikona suggested me that i should take the static IP service and there will be huge change in your service. And guess what he was correct.

 

Benifits

1. No login page ever.

2. Connect as many PC with your Wifi router.

3. download speed of 3.5 mbps

4. upload speed of 2mbps

5. super low pings.

6. no packet drop.

 

Drawbacks

1. you will have to shell out Rs1500 a year.

Stargate SG-1

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

Indian government does not want political parties to be answerable to Right to Information Act

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:47 AM PDT

 

 

The cabinet on Thursday gave its nod to keep political parties out of the RTI Act by approving changes in the law to overturn the central information panel's ruling on the issue.

The proposed amendment, to be placed before Parliament on Monday, states that the definition of public authority "shall not include any political party registered under the Representation of People's Act and no litigation related to this shall be entertained by any court of law."

"Declaring political parties as public authorities under the Right to Information Act would hamper their smooth internal functioning since it will encourage political rivals to file RTI applications with malicious intentions," stated the government's note seeking an amendment in the law.

Kaun Banega Crorepati Updates

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:17 AM PDT

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.

Lenovo IdeaPhone P770

Posted: 23 Aug 2013 10:11 AM PDT

Motorola might rest easier in knowing that the the P770 is an unrepentantly budget-focused behemoth, carrying a 4.5-inch qHD display, a (possibly MediaTek-made) 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4GB of built-in storage, an 8GB microSD card and both 5-megapixel rear as well as VGA front cameras. Lenovo's quietly introduced IdeaPhone P770 at least theoretically challenges its American counterpart by cramming a 3,500mAh lithium polymer battery into a thicker 11.9mm (0.47-inch) body. That's 200mAh more than Motorola's energy champion, and enough for the company to flaunt a 29-hour talk time.
