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

Posted: 09 Oct 2013 12:46 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.

The Wolf Among Us

Posted: 09 Oct 2013 12:35 PM PDT


 

 

 

Based on the award-winning Fables comic book series by Bill Willingham (published by DC Comics' Vertigo imprint), The Wolf Among Us is a dark, often brutally violent, and mature take on the characters and creatures of fairytale and legend.

Driven from their homelands, the Fables hide from the mundane world in New York City. Over a season of episodic content, the player will experience what it's like to be Bigby Wolf (THE Big Bad Wolf), Sheriff of Fabletown.

An evolution of Telltale's ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as the Big Bad Wolf, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous.

'Supernatural' has been renewed for an eighth season by the CW network. Currently Star World India completed the first five seasons and AXN India is airing Seasons six and seven. Am too excited for the same...!

Thanks!

Need a wireless mouse

Posted: 09 Oct 2013 11:56 AM PDT

I am looking for a wireless mouse for daily use with laptop and desktop.

 

Requirements:

  • Must have a nano receiver
  • Needs a long battery life - I will use this for 8-10 hours daily, so any idea on what kind of life I can realistically expect?
  • Must run on AAA batteries only (since I have a set of rechargeable AAAs)

  • Must be comfortable to use for extended periods

  • Nothing too expensive

I want to avoid desi brands like iball. Currently using a Microsoft Arc Touch mouse, definitely need something more comfortable and less expensive than that. Something around 600-1200 bucks would be the sweet spot.

 

Another good feature would be if a single nano receiver can pair up with both mouse and keyboard. I am not looking for a set/keyboard at present, but it might be nice if I want to in future.

 

Any recommendations?

Expect Flipkart to stay competitive for a long time now!

Geonet? Delhi... Any reviews

Posted: 09 Oct 2013 10:56 AM PDT

Hi

 

Around a decade with Airtel (initially touchtel) it was time to move on. Was interested in FTTX (X=B,H...) but with non of the branded names in my area I had no option but to knock the doors of local cable wallah to get reliance / spectranet etc etc in the colony. To my surprise there is a local operator (based out of Bikaji Cama Palace) and presense in quite a few locations in NCR delhi called Geonet (http://www.geocity.co.in/coveredarea.html). Any reviews???

 

The person claims to run a backbone on fibre, has bandwith from multiple branded ISPs and gives a standard Ethernet connection over PPOE. plug in a normal router and you get a public IP (199.XXX.XXX.XXX Series (he did not tell me the complete series). Lastly with cable lines being broken stolen multiple times a year in my colony he offered me a air grid connectivity. He said it is enough for upto 10mbps line. He also offered something called nano bridge for speeds upto 25mbps

 

for those still interested:

- one time installation charges Rs. 1000 (said he would need to expand around 200 meters and will be installing a switch behind my building) so he is making investment and hence cant discount this, moreover this would be non refundable.

- air grid security deposit Rs. 500 (refuntable). would charge installation charges even if I take air grid as he claims airgrid costs him around Rs. 5000 and hence would need installation charges anyhow

- monthly charges including tax - Rs. 1K for 1mbps no FUP , Rs 1.1K for 2bmps for 25gb and then 1mbps unlimited.

- Other plans include 400kbps Rs. 560 , 512 kbps Rs.650, 8gb 2mbps post which 512kbps for Rs. 750

 

Since I am on a D-LINK 2750U I would need to buy a normal WIFI router for which he is charge Rs. 1500 and is upfront saying It includes around Rs. 200 as his commission to bring and install the WIFI.

 

My Questions

1. Any one any review of this ISP. He claims to have 30K customers in and around Delhi

2. Any issues with Latency, Speeds, downtime

3. Any issues anticipated with the following services

3( a ) - VPN : I need to connect to office VPN which is powered by Aventail.

3( b ) - VOIP : I use a lot of Magic Jack, Vonage and likes for calling both from desktop, Apps installed on phone and devices

3( c ) - NAT / Remote initiated sessions - Read hosting gaming servers, adhoc FTP severs, Torrent Downloading

3( d ) - Google Cloud Print  - I have 2 printers one is classic (attached to chrome on a machine to allow cloud print) and other directly connects to google cloud.

4. Any person who has idea of Air Grid, Nano Bridge ETC and can comment on these connectivity during rain, winds, etc....

5. Is 1 mbps enough for watching SD and/or HD streaming videos from Youtube/FB/vimeo etc.

 

I do not have any particular requirements, I usually consume around 22-24gb a month with normal surfing, app updates on various mobiles, Drop Box however I am not using my internet connection to potential because of post FUP 256kbps fears.

 

Ps. The ISP has a scheme of Rs. 50 a month discount for 8 months on refer a friend. Incase you plan to take this connection do give my reference. I am waiting for my installation which would happen next Saturday (damn office during weekdays) and I am planning to continue my airtel for another 2 months before I degrade my plan and then another 2-3 months before I disconnect completely (if I am satisfied with this ISP).

Lenovo to acquire HTC?

Posted: 09 Oct 2013 10:05 AM PDT

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/lenovo-in-talks-to-acquire-htc-report-429995?pfrom=home-otherstories


Lenovo's been rumoured to be in talks for quite some time with a number of smartphone makers, including BlackBerry, for an acquisition deal. 
 
However, it's now also being reported that the Chinese device maker, which had acquired the consumer hardware business of IBM, is in talks with ailing smartphone maker HTC for acquiring the Taiwanese handset manufacturer's mobile business.
 
Lenovo and HTC have been in confidential discussions since August according to a report by AndroidBeat, that cites Taiwanese publication Apple Daily as a source.
 
The report mentions that Lenovo intends to acquire HTC's brand, similar to the acquisition of IBM's ThinkPad brand. It adds that the specific terms of the deal are not known as the valuation could change. However, it does state that the buyout could be announced and concluded during the first half of 2014.

With Love from China... to China :D
