Anyone working in a bank here?

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:41 PM PST

My mom shut down her accounts in two PSU banks last week. The problem? She forgot to bring back the updated passbook. 
 
So now dad has no data of the transactions in these bank accounts. He needs this information for income tax purposes. 
 
The guy at the bank claims that they have 'destroyed' the passbook and their computers has no data related to shut down accounts. 
 
I want to know if there are any safeguards in place set by the RBI for such shut down accounts and I can use RTI or any other method to get access to this data?

Alliance Broadband WAN Port not detected

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:41 AM PST

Hi,

I am having one of the most weird problems with my new Alliance broadband. I took the connection a few days back and it works perfectly with my PC. However, when I try to connect the ethernet cable to my TP-Link Router then the internet light never flashes. Upon entering tp-link manual configuration it says that "WAN Port not detected". I did reset the router and checked all the wiring but no help.

 

Thinking that the router is faulty I took it to my neighbour's house using same Alliance broadband and much to my surprise the router works perfectly without any hassle. What could be the problem here...my internet seems to work fine when I connect the cable to my PC ethernet port. This is driving me crazy. Can someone please help me.

Unique Identification Authority of India (Aadhaar)

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:38 AM PST

the govts plans to have a biometric national id cards for everyone by 2010.In usa the real id act is facing fierce resistance as 20 states have signed legislation opposition this as well in UK as groups like defyid and no2id.THis national id card makes india a police state,mass surveillance society and blurs the difference btw nazi germany and india.
the supreme court has interpreted that we have the right to privacy which the national id card violates.Why isnt anyone doing to stop this.I contacted times of india ,cnn ibn,ndtv but got no reply?.


we already have voter id card,passport,driver license,ration card,pan card(similar to social security card in us.).EVen is usa the ss card is not to be used as a id card.why do we need a chip card?the only thing that i can think is abut control and monitoring us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipurpose_National_Identity_Card_(India)
once everyone has this card the govt can track your every move and switch your card if you resist or dissent.

those who give up liberty for security neither deserve liberty nor security-Benjamin Franklin.

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:15 AM PST


 

 

If the idea of combining a Segway, a skateboard and a unicycle sounds like your idea of fun, you might want to check out the Onewheel. It uses gyros, accelerometers, proprietary algorithms and a single rubber tire to give its passengers a smooth, self-balancing ride that supposedly mimics surfing or snowboarding on dry land. Its direct-drive motor pairs with the aforementioned components to determine the board's speed based on a how you lean your body.

Aam Aadmi Party bars FDI in retail in Delhi

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:07 AM PST

I hope the headline is accurate. I mean Wal-Mart is not coming to Delhi in the next six months at least. 
 
AAP shelves foreign supermarket entry into Delhi | Reuters
 

The newly elected state government in New Delhi on Monday barred foreign supermarkets from setting up shop, a blow to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's efforts to attract overseas investment and revive the economy.
Singh had thrown open the country's $500 billion retail industry to foreign investors in late 2012, allowing companies such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc(WMT.N) and Tesco PLC(TSCO.L) to own a majority stake in local chains for the first time.
The decision by the newly-formed Aam Aadmi (Common Man) Party (AAP) government in Delhi to shut out foreign supermarkets could further dampen investor appetite. The move overturned the stance of the previous, Congress-led administration.

InteraXon Muse

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 08:03 AM PST



If you think the person above looks weathered, broken and a little bit ill, you'd be right. After all, it's the last day of CES, and although this editor wasn't sure he had any working neurons left, he nevertheless took a trip to InteraXon's booth to check out the consumer-ready version of Muse, the mind-probing headband. We first came across Muse this time last year, and in terms of hardware, only minor changes have been made.

Chozen

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 08:02 AM PST

 

Chozen is an animated comedy about its title character, "Chozen," a gay white rapper fresh out of prison. Armed with a new message, Chozen is on a quest for redemption and to claim his rightful position as the world's top rap artist. His music and lyrics take aim at the stereotypes of machismo and misogyny that is synonymous with rap music. And his new world view has been shaped by his time in prison.

 

After Archer , I'm looking forward to this one as well.

Hardware for running WiFi internet service.

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 08:02 AM PST

Dear friends, please help me out.

 

There are many small cities in India where fast internet is not available. The only service that is available in those cities is that of BSNL.


I would like to start a franchisee of any private ISP like Spectranet, Sify, Hathway etc in one or two such cities. And due to high risks and costs of cables, I would like to offer the internet through WiFi, exactly like how local cable operators provide in metro cities.

 

Please tell me what are the hardwares that are required to provide long range (around 5 km radius) wifi coverage. And please tell me what is cost of getting the franchisee from private ISPs.

SmartThings

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 06:45 AM PST


 

Sure, we had to hop in a cab and take a rather expensive ride out into the boonies. But we had no option -- SmartThings had no official presence on the CES floor. Thankfully, the 45 minutes we spent in transit were not wasted. The company rented a rather opulent McMansion far from the strip and tricked it out with sensors, connected light bulbs, smart locks and cameras. It looked like the sort of place that was probably used as the set in a porn at some point, but on this day it was the location of a rather impressive connected home demo meant to showcase its new Labs program.

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Posted: 13 Jan 2014 06:43 AM PST

So Ghost returns? If this is true, and it probably is, I'll be lining up to pre order it this November.

UK supermarket giant Tesco has a product listing and box art for currently unannounced Call of Duty: Ghosts.
The listings cover Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, though the Xbox 360 listing has already been removed. The PlayStation 3 listing remains at time of writing, however.


http://m.gamespot.com/news/6407467?tag=nl.e607&s_cid=e607&ttag=e607

As well as outing both the unrevealed game and what is believed to be the official box art, the merchant's product listing also claimed that the sequel will be "built on an entirely new story, setting, and cast, all powered by a next-generation Call of Duty engine".
