OS would be nice. Not necessary.

Just need the CPU part as it would replace a nearly 10-15 year old machine at Fufaji's place.

Requirements are just basic. The current machine is probably a first or second generation Pentium running Windows XP so anything is an upgrade.

I personally plan to install Ubuntu as the requirement is basically to browse the web, download and print PDF files, open documents and files from CDs.

I could get something made from my local hardware guy. But considering getting a branded machine because of simple needs. Super compact cabinet would be nice.

Checked out Dell India website. Even the crappy configurations are priced at around 35K (including LCD etc). I am guessing I would have to get a custom unit? :\ 

Most of the time i face issues like

1) Shows I/O error while creating a new folder(sometimes)

2) Downloading torrent in that disk shows error

3) Shutting down takes a lot of time due to disk accessing(when not in use)

P.S. Tested with all major utilites (WD/Seagate) but couldn't find any errors.

The event is set to take place in a historical building bombed by the Luftwaffe airplanes during WWII.

Callone Micro Usb Data & Charging Cable

It does not look very high quality but worked flawlessly for me with CM Installer which in fact refused to work with the official Samsung cable that came with my phone (1.5 years old). 

for specific numbers ?

there are some callers whom i dont like to talk to much often , but they dont understand from my reactions, so is it really possible?

if not then what are the technological alternatives ?

Any one can you guess how many MSOs & LCOs do we have Pan India, Individual states & the Potential market size?

The editor-in-chief of a leading investigative magazine is being probed over claims that he sexually assaulted a woman colleague, a senior police official said on Friday, after the media, activists and politicians urged a criminal prosecution.
The case came to light after the victim complained in an email to a superior that Tarun Tejpal, founder of the award-winning weekly, Tehelka, assaulted her twice in a hotel elevator during a conference in the resort state of Goa this month.

While she has not formally complained against Tejpal, police said they decided to act on the basis of the media reports of the leaked complaint, and that Tejpal could face charges of outraging the modesty of a woman and rape.

It is, mostly.
Rollouts are conducted in phases. Typically they start at 1% of devices for around 24 - 48 hours; we watch the return rates and resulting device checkins and error reports (if any), and make sure nothing looks wrong before sending it to more. Then typically it goes to 25%, 50%, 100% over the course of a week or two.
What the percentages mean is that when your device checks in, it has a 1% chance (for example) of being offered the OTA. If it doesn't (randomly) get an offer, it will never get an offer until the next batch.
IOW, once your device checks in and gets turned down, that's it until the next batch. Mashing on the "check for updates" button just causes your device to check in again, and get automatically turned down again. Think about how that makes your device feel! WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE PHONES?!
That said, once the new batch does start, hitting that button does give you a new roll of the dice -- but once. Since devices usually only check in for system updates every 24 hours (I think? Certainly on a many-hours basis) this can get you your shot sooner than it would happen on its own.
So, mash away. Just be patient, and mashing on it more often than once or twice a day isn't going to gain you anything.
Edit: also, keep in mind that this isn't first-come/first-served. You're not racing other devices to get your slot in the current batch, or something.

Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)
How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.
Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.
All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient.
EDIT: affects vs. effects. shame

Started a thread for the upcoming launch. Right now it seems delayed and is likely to arrive in the first week of March.

after taking samaya news channel off air for many months,Finally samaya news channel is back on Hathway CH NO 660.Replaced by Raj news and raj kannada music channel.Seems like now its the problem of raj news with hathway

The Google once i knew and loved is , imo no more. All i see is a big giant corporation sucking all the privacy it can from nearly all individual who are online.
 
The Fall has been amplified by the recent expose of the PRISM debacle.
 
With Recent move to make real name / real profile associated with your Google account to comment on youtube , things are not all rossy at google.
 

 
Here is another fine example of major f*** up by google , and even more appaling is how we all have started to accept the fact that there is no real support for such a big company. Even though most of the times its all automated , but many years ago , when i had issues with Adsense , it was as if talking to a empty space.
 
But apart from these , I am slowly loosing my confidence and trust on google , the way they have progressed and action they take.
 
Youtube without ABP is pure crap. I cant view 30 sec video without wathcing a 1 min ad , that too on HD , when my actual video i am supposed to watch doesnt run smoothly at 240p , even though its an isp issue , still Google should be aware of my bandwidth , when it is quick enough to change the video from 240p to 144p , me even without asking it , but fails to load a SD ad depending on my speed.
 
Gmail is full of ads again and it started to be listed right above emails too.
 
Picasa is dead and replaced with crap like G+ photo which is viewable for the elite who can have a decent 2mpbs connection.
 
Blogger imo is dead too , with region changing domains , i feel its more shifted towards easy censoring .
 
Google plus is crap and so is FB. May be i am just tired of all these social sites. May be its just me .
 
Apart from these , the main service , the actual search , imo has taken deep dive . The results are no more better. Most of the time it serves me out dated links (2008-2010) , and each time i have to specify to link to 2012-2013 to get more precise results. With all the MPAA/RIAA/other take down request , i am not sure whether the result i am seeing is even the best ones.
 
You cant use Google without using good userscripts (googlifix) to enable all the hidden features , which were once easily available.
 
Android is whole lot different , with Google play/market imo is fuc*** up , with most of the space wasted on movies and books and no real way to show only apps. Still the search on Play is ancient and no real way to filter them.
 
With recent 4.4 KK , and recent issue on how you cant have access to Battery info , i dont know where this is all leading. Even though a lot has been optimized and became effecient , android is again pushing one to use its services .

May its all because of PRISM , i have lost all trust on google and each day all i see if they grabbing all the possible information on everyone , to either serve the ads or to nsa or whatever. There is also a general dislike slowly growing towards google.

Hello Friends,
I just joined the Forum today,i searched the Forum for the whole day today & i am very musch impressed by the experienced members who helped & saved the other members in time of urgent help.Now i need some information,plans & how i can proceed in my matter,as i am in huge problem now.Below is my problem-

I have Landline Bsnl connection in my house for over 15 years or so in name of my Father.I applied for taking broadband plan nearly 5-6 years before.(I could not remember the plan though). On First month i have received amount of rs 2500 which i paid.Then next month i received a bill of  nearly about  rs.6000 which i not paid & after a month Bsnl again sended me a bill of rs 6000 total amounting rs 12000 or so.I Didn't paid them a single penny as they have already disconnected my landline & after that my net connection also.But still they keep on sending me monthly bill with rental charge & interest for 6-7 months .which they stopped before near 20-21 months .
They Didn't contacted us or done nothing.

Now suddenly i got a letter from them stating that I have to pay RS.41000 outstanding amount to them within 15 days or they will take legal action/ Many exciting schems r available to settle & reconnection. (I am lucky that my Dad didn't received the letter as he is a Heart patient & can easily have a stroke by seeing this huge amount)

Now my question to you all is that Whom should i contact now?? I am willing to pay the money but i will pay what i have used & settle the oustanding amount issue & can pay a max amount of rs5000-10000 which is also very hard for me to give.As my Dad is retired now & i am still searching for job.

What u all think about my matter>?Pls suggest me what should i do?&  how should i proceed??


Thank you in advance to all
Broadbandforum team.

After we had thread of 3 mobile operators planning to merge, here is another sensational thread about 3 Indian DTH operators supposedly planning for merger (or merging operational activity). 3 companies in news regarding this are Dish TV, Videocon d2h and Airtel Digital TV.

Not sure how much about this news is really true, but such consolidation was bound to happen considering large number of operators India have, and how difficult it is for them to keep running their expense and get some profits.

(I remember few years ago, Jet Airways and Kingfisher also had formed JV for operational activity to manage ground staff activity at airports, DTH companies may also have similar plans).

I have uploaded files to mediafire. It is done in just 1-2 mins. I am surprised to see that.

File size was around 700mb file and I am availing maximum 2 mbps upload and download. At the same time, I have checked the speed on speedtest.net. It was strictly as per my tariff from my ISP.

I have uploaded 700mb movies files 2-3 times on mediafire to see this magic happens in just 1-2 mins.

Can anybody try? Please everybody try and post experience especially who has 2 mbps plan from ISP.

We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.

But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels

We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

I finally found an ISP (a local cable provider) with 10 Mbps UL Plans, well atleast with 100gb FUP & 1Mbps after for Rs. 1699. They call themselves Maruti Network & operate on 'Metronet' (Belltele.in) network, could not find much info on their website: www.metrotelecom.in but the local cable guy from Maruti network gave me this flyer:

Is anyone else from Bangalore using this, need some reviews & more details on their service / other plans etc. I already paid Rs. 1500 for installation & should get the connection by Tuesday

EDIT on 12th July 2013 :

*My overall review after using this connection for over 2 weeks : http://broadbandforum.co/topic/66171-metronet-bell-teleservices-in-bangalore-10-mbps-for-rs-1699/page-2#entry686391

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.
