Apex netcom india pvt. ltd, Drunken Customer Support

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 11:11 AM PST

Apex netcom india pvt. ltd (http://apexnetcom.in/index.html)

is my new ISP I am using since last 28 days, there were a couple of nights when my connectivity went out, however it was 3-4 AM so i never complained about it.

 

Using the night pack which works from 10 PM to 8 AM and was about to upgrade BUT

 

Today I was away for a dinner and came back around 11PM and found not even their Login page was working.

 

Started Calling their support 

 

most numbers were switched off or not answered

 

the one listed as 9559-85-6666 on their support page was answered after very long wait, and the guy one other side looked like was drunk to his bottom.

he had no zeal to solve, no apology,  no concern that entire locality is down and said " jo bhi hai ab to subah hi dekhengey"

 

I was like SHOCKED, I very politely said sir you promise 24x7 connectivity and 24x7 support what kind of answer was this.

 

and he started asking for my ID, etc etc, " jo bhi hoga dekh Lenge" type words etc etc,

I told him my WISP providers name and he was started building his bullshit which I refuse to tolerate.
I am dead sure he was out of his senses and didn't argued and hung up on him.

 

Had it been my other mood, I could have abused him 1000 words a minute, and that too without a gap for next 6-7 minutes, both in hindi and english, he would have become ashamed of himself drinking tonight,
but I have left those old days and no longer in that Age to react such violently anymore.

 

I regret that I was not recording his call, else it could have been latest Funny Audio file to be shared social networks, 

If i had any prior such experience I would have started recording this call, but First Impression was a Nightmare when it came to the need of support to fix the damn OUTAGE.

 

Its a Lucknow based ISP, spread across small towns, so watch out before you subscribe...........

 

Lastly I don't mind appreciating their network" JAB CHALTA hai to Accha Chalta hai, Jab Nahin chale to.... Jai Ram Ji Ki, just shutdown your computer and sleep, they will not fix it, atleast in night"

Need help with Beetel 450TC2 modem

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 10:33 AM PST

I recently got Beetel 450TC2 wifi-modem with my Airtel internet connection. I can connect to internet via lan wire but they have implemented enterprise wifi security for wireless connectivity. Basically, one has to register his/her devices via their website and only then he/she shall be able to connect to internet. Also it has a limit of only 4 devices via wifi as websites registers MAC of each device. If one has to add a new device he has to de-register previous device. In short it is "crap worthy".

I tried to change the wifi authentication mode by login into the modem via 192.168.1.1 but it is locked (uneditable). Is there a custom firmware/ open source firmware/ other tricks that can be used to remove this bullshit authentication mode? Only in India can a company (Read Airtel) sell you broadband at a high cost as well as restrict it usage.

ATAP Project Tango – Google


 

As we walk through our daily lives, we use visual cues to navigate and understand the world around us. We use our eyes to observe the size and shape of objects and rooms, and we learn their position and layout over time almost effortlessly . This awareness of space and motion is fundamental to the way we interact with our environment and each other.  We are physical beings that live in a 3D world. Yet, our mobile devices assume that physical world ends at the boundaries of the screen.
The goal of Project Tango is to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion.
Our team has been working with universities, research labs, and industrial partners spanning nine countries around the world to harvest research from the last decade of work in robotics and computer vision, concentrating that technology into a unique mobile phone.  Now, we're ready to put early prototypes into the hands of developers that can imagine the possibilities and help pull those ideas into reality.
What if you never found yourself lost in a new building again?  What if directions to a new location didn't stop at the street address? Imagine playing hide-and-seek in your house with your favorite game character. Imagine competing against a friend for control over physical space with your own miniature army.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 09:18 AM PST

Since late last year, rumors began firing off about a potential "Transformers" sequel or sequels, and they ran the gamut. Paramount might film two sequels back to back. Michael Bay might return for both. Jason Statham may be the new star. Rumors came and went, but perhaps the biggest question lingered: Will Bay return to direct?

Horrible broadband speed for BSNL Kolkata.

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 09:10 AM PST

I am using BSNL Broadband's BB Home Combo ULD 650 Plan and getting horrible speeds for months now. The speeds are so poor that it takes me more than 7 hours to download a 700-800 MB Movie from torrent, forget about HD Movies and PC Games.

 

Here's my speedtest:

And also my Ping Test Result:

Please suggest me what to do. I cannot opt for any other ISP as BSNL is mostly monopoly in Kolkata and my apartment does not allow any other broadband (the society probably gets commission from BSNL to keep out other broadband services).

They are making a sequel of 300? :D


Official Website: http://goo.gl/H9fUO

 

Trailer/Preview releasing in a couple of hours. 


 

Based on Frank Miller's latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster "300," this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war.

 

"300: Rise of an Empire" pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.

 

Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present, a Cruel and Unusual Films/Mark Canton/Gianni Nunnari Production, "300: Rise of an Empire." The action adventure stars Sullivan Stapleton ("Gangster Squad") as Themistokles and Eva Green ("Dark Shadows," "Casino Royale") as Artemisia. Lena Headey reprises her starring role from "300" as the Spartan Queen, Gorgo; Hans Matheson ("Clash of the Titans") stars as Aeskylos; David Wenham returns as Dilios, and Rodrigo Santoro stars again as the Persian King, Xerxes.

 

The film is directed by Noam Murro, from a screenplay by Zack Snyder & Kurt Johnstad, based on the graphic novel Xerxes, by Frank Miller. It is produced by Gianni Nunnari, Mark Canton, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Bernie Goldmann. Thomas Tull, Frank Miller, Stephen Jones and Jon Jashni serve as executive producers.

 

The creative filmmaking team includes director of photography Simon Duggan, production designer Patrick Tatopoulos, editor Wyatt Smith and costume designer Alexandra Byrne. The music is composed by Junkie XL.

 

"300: Rise of an Empire" will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. This film is not yet rated.

Jinn

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 07:40 AM PST


 

In the Beginning, Three were Created...
Man made of Clay.
Angels made of Light.
And a Third...made of Fire.
From the beginning, stories of angels and men have captured our imaginations and have been etched into our history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion, and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology for countless centuries, almost washing away the evidence that a third ever existed. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was called the jinn. Similar to humans in many ways, the jinn lived invisibly among us and only under dire or unusual circumstances were our paths ever meant to cross.
As humans became the dominant force on Earth, contact between man and jinn steadily decreased.
Modern man has all but forgotten the jinn.

X Men: Days of Future Past

Posted: 21 Feb 2014 07:38 AM PST

Deadline reports that Fox made quick work of replacing their vacant director's chair and will likely be able to keep their July 18th, 2014 release date as a result. Fans should be familiar with Singer's work as he wrote and directed both 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s follow-up, X2. He also turned in the script for Vaughn's X-Men: First Class along with an ensemble of other writers, including Vaughn. We also got confirmation of the title from Singer recently. It follows the 1980s' comic storyline written by Chris Claremont that alternates between a present day battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline where an assassination of a government official has led to Sentinels roaming the land and mutants held prisoner in internment camps.
The cast from the original film is expected to return, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.
