Google Chromecast

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 01:12 PM PST

 

Remember a few weeks back when we reported that Google was working on an ultra-affordable Chrome dongle for TVs or displays called the Chromekey? At the time, we thought Chromekey would be the device name and that you would be able to "CAST" (term used by our source) your Chrome browser from desktop or mobile Chrome browser to any display to have a bigger browsing experience. Well, according to Google Play support docs, that device appears to have been renamed to Chromecast.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 01:10 PM 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?

Astitva -- The Band...
Is all set to launch their first debut album Patang Dor.
Here is a glimpse of their track, 'Astitva' from their debut album.

Murdered: Soul Suspect

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 12:56 PM PST

 

 

MURDERED: SOUL SUSPECT (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) takes players into a whole new realm of mystery where the case is personal and the clues just out of reach. A new take on the action/adventure genre, MURDERED: SOUL SUSPECT challenges players to solve possibly the hardest case of all... their own murder.

 

MURDERED: SOUL SUSPECT sees players take the role of Ronan O'Connor, a detective with a checkered past, whose life is brought to an untimely end by a brutal and relentless killer. Unable to move on and stuck in the limbo world of Dusk, he won't find peace until he can bring his killer to justice from the afterlife. 

 

Using his new-found supernatural abilities, Ronan is free to explore the town of Salem, Massachusetts, from his shadowy afterlife. Unable to communicate with the detectives on his case, Ronan must read the minds of the living, influencing their thoughts and actions. As part of his investigation, he must interrogate the ghosts of Salem's past citizens to piece together the puzzle, while battling demonic spirits to save his soul and uncover the shocking truth about who is responsible for his death.

Hey guys, I want to buy a new android phone. I have one smartphone right now, but it doesn't support whatsapp, and internet is slow ( it is not 3g). So, I'd like to buy a new smartphone. It should be a dual sim, 3g enabled, 4 inches screen with 5 mp camera. And most importantly it has to be under 9000 rs. I don't want to spend too much on a phone. I have seen Xolo Opus Q100, and i liked the specifications. But I don't know how the company is. So, if there is a better alternative than that tell me. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Amazon.in website is complicated. The language is messed up.

Amazon does not offer replacements as an option except for Kindles.
 
I have no idea what this means. Kindle does not seem to have any option for replacement. So picked the option for a refund. 
 
Let's hope this is processed without any issues.

Ok. Another confusion. How do I find out if this is the first generation Kindle or the second generation Kindle because this:

Bono explained to USA Today that the song is not the first single from the band's upcoming 13th studio album, which is expected sometime this year.

 

"We have another song we're excited about to kick off the album," he said. "This is just sort of a sneak preview -- to remind people we exist."

 

He added that "Invisible" was merely "the first one we finished" and that the band would like for the album to be out by this summer.

Internet Service Providers in Thane (Mumbai)

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 08:36 AM PST

Hello,

 

 

    I'm sorry to create a new topic; i searched the forum for ISP in Thane, but didn't find an active and relevant topic. I'm currently with Tikona from last year and a half and since last 6 months i'm facing terrible speed issues. On top of that, Tikona being wireless provider, they are expensive. There service has degraded 10 folds over the months and the customer service staff getting arrogant and ignorant calls over calls. Oh and if you default on your bill for once, man you are in trouble. I have not had so much hassle even after not paying my credit card bills.

 

 

    So coming to my main point and the reason to sign up here, would you guys here on the forum be kind enough to help me choose an internet provider as i need to defect from current one as soon as possible. I reside in Thane EAST, Kopri near 12 Bungalows. I need a connection of 2 to 4 mbps in bandwidth (actual transfer rate of 250 to 450 kbps), a fair usage policy of at least 50 Gigs (monthly) and of course a reasonable one on my pocket. I don't mind half yearly or annual plans if they fall cheaper that way. A fair comparison between 3 to 4 providers would be great. I need tried and tested suggestions and constructive criticism about them all.

 

 

 

P.S. - The provider should be independent and the service level shouldn't be dependent on the local cable operator. My local cable guy is a bitch, who's raked in too much money, now runs his own restaurant and doesn't care much about his cable tv and internet customers.
