Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 12:37 PM PDT

 

The Joss Whedon drama based on the Marvel Comics property has landed a series order at the Disney-owned network, ABC announced Friday.

The ABC Studios project is based on Marvel Comics' secret intelligence organization that has appeared in countless titles, including Iron Man, Captain America and The Ultimates, since being introduced in the 1960s. The military law-enforcement agency's moniker stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistic Directorate, which also has evolved over time in the comics.

ER's Ming-Na stars as Agent Melinda May, The Avengers' Clark Gregg reprises his role as Agent Phil Coulson, Killing Lincoln's Brett Dalton is set as gruff rising star Agent Grant Ward, Elizabeth Henstridge as science whiz Agent Gemma Simmons and Iain DeCaestecker as tech guru Agent Leo Fitz, with Nashville's Chloe Bennet set as Skye, a superhero-obsessed woman.

Market Value of Second Hand Sony PlayStation 2?

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 11:41 AM PDT

While I plan to list this item on Ebay/OLX soon, I just wanted to know what my friends on IBF would suggest.

 

I've got a PS2 (SCPH-9004CB) against some outstanding amount, the playstation 2 is sealed pack, and comes with bill (but in my name)

and is genuine, un-touched.

 

What should be the fair price I should be looking at ???

 

 

Thanks...........

 

Edit:

 

Flipkart lists the same for Rs.6830/-

 

Should I sell it for 5800, do I have a chance with giving 1000 off 

my laptop failed on me

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 11:35 AM PDT

didn't find where to put this junk info, using this section.

 

My main laptop, Compaq CQ42 series, which I use as extended desktop got fried yesterday night.

 

It was working fine, and all I did was the weekly Ccleaner cleaning, and rebooted, 

The reboot didn't went through as mouse still had power, so long pressed power button, didn't worked out

so pulled off the battery, 

It never came back.

 

Dissembled to check and found somehow motherboard went dead.

RAM, HDD, Optical drive everthing is ok, but it won't power ON.

 

Gave to mother board repairing center today, and he was shocked when e saw I ripped off each of the parts.

he was asking me to bring all parts but I managed and he will be repairing it, hopefully.
 
It's the only center in my town with "Advanced BGA Machine" something to do with chip level I think.
 
Have to use netbook till then, but I hate using anything below 14 inch.
 
Enjoy the operation Laptop pics........

Blackberry selling itself to a group led by Fairfax Financial

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 10:47 AM PDT

Fairfax Financial is the largest stockholder in the company. I assume this means that BB would go private (like Dell) and Fairfax Financial would sell BB in parts to various buyers hoping to make a profit from the deal.

Worst ever broadband service in Pimple Saudagar

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 10:41 AM PDT

This is regarding the worst experience I have with YOU broadband in Pimple Saudagar. I am customer of YOU broadband since more than 1 year and conditions are getting from worse to worst. There was connectivity problem since begining and customer care does not address problem properly. They resolve problem without intimating customer and even after complaining to Nodal officer and Appealate authority nothing seems to happen.

 

The executives appointed to address issues do not respond to the phone calls when there is a problem and now that I have decided to discontinue with YOU broadband nobody is respnding and customer care executive says that you cannot discontinue in the middle of existing plan.

 

Please help me with this as soon as possible.My address is

Surface Pro has been an amazing device. It has been my daily machine for a LONG time. Surface Pro 2 is a very significant upgrade on top of that strength, with meaningful battery-life improvements so it lasts nearly a full workday, a dual-stage kickstand that works great on your lap, and even faster performance. With Power Cover – a new cover accessory that provides the same great typing experience as Type Cover along with a built-in extended battery that charges while you're working or while it's connected in your bag – Surface 2 lasts more than more than 10 hours. With the Docking Station for Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2 can be the first device that is a tablet, a laptop, AND a high-powered workstation.

With a 5 inch 1080 x 1920 resolution screen, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 under the hood, it all sounds like your every day mid-2013 top-shelf model. That is, until you get to the camera on back. The rear-facing camera on the Sony i1 is a 20/13MP camera with an Exmor RS sensor, G Lens, Cybershot, dual LED and Xenon flash, Mobile BIONZ Image processing and interchangeable lens.

As much as I love Surface Pro 2, I have a new main machine now, and it's Surface 2. It feels amazing and is even lighter, thinner, and has longer battery life than before. We have fundamentally revamped Surface 2 to make it the most productive personal tablet ever. Trust me here. It is much faster – now with 72 graphics cores, twice the internet speed, and USB 3.0. It is even more beautiful – with an enticing new color that reflects the true color of Magnesium, a full HD screen, and a thinner and lighter design. And most importantly, it is even more productive – now with Outlook RT which is how I do email, a 3.5MP front-facing camera optimized for Skype for my video calls home or video messages when we can't connect. To ensure that you get the most out of your device, we're including free Skype calling to landlines 60 countries and free Skype WiFi at over two million hotspots for a year, as well as 200GB of SkyDrivestorage for two years. The Skype and SkyDrive offers are for both Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 09:35 AM PDT

Why not Samsung Galaxy Tab 7?
 

The Galaxy Tab 3 has gone official and the third iteration of the company's first Android tablet arrives with a 1.2GHz processor, 8GB or 16GB of storage (with expansion up to 64GB), a 3- and 1.3-megapixel camera array and a substantial 4,000mAh battery. That 7-inch WSVGA (1,024 x 600) TFT display suggests it's likely to be a keenly-priced slate, although we're still waiting to hear on specifics.

24 (Anil Kapoor Version)

Posted: 23 Sep 2013 09:34 AM PDT

One of my best TV series of all time becoming desi!

Colors, Anil Kapoor ink deal to broadcast '24' in India > afaqs! news & features

Anil kapoor, please do some justice with Jack Bauer.

I also read something about cast: Chunky Pandey is in it :D

As for the cast and crew, Kapoor has promised the channel that there will be no known names on the show. However, word is that Ronit Roy, Atul Kulkarni, Chunky Pandey and Vidyut Jamwar will essay some of the lead roles. And, as we already know, Kapoor will play the main protagonist, anti-terror squad leader Jack Bauer, essayed by his favourite actor Keifer Sutherland in the original version. What's more? Abhinao Deo of Delhi Belly fame will direct the show. One wonders though, who will play the middle-eastern leader Omar Hassan, the role bagged by Kapoor in the American series...

The much-rumored iPhone 5S and a 5-inch iPhone 6 have shown up at an Apple supplier in China, according to a post on a Chinese microblogging site.
The models could be released this year, according to a post by a Sina Tech user called Old Yao. He reports that a friend of his at a supplier has seen the models and says that the iPhone 5S resembles the iPhone 5, while the iPhone 6 is wider, longer, and thinner.

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
