John Doe: Vigilante

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:37 PM PST


 

Some call him a hero. Some call him a villain. He's "John Doe: Vigilante" -- an ordinary man who decides to take the law into his own hands. Frustrated with a failing legal system that continues to allow violent criminals to go free, John Doe begins exacting justice the only way he knows how -- by killing one criminal at a time. Soon he becomes a media sensation and inspires a group of copycat vigilantes, but who is the real John Doe -- a pillar of justice or a cold-blooded murderer? You decide.


Yes, the guy is Lee Adama from Battlestar Galactica.

Sony exits eBook Readers market as well (along with Vaio)

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 12:10 PM PST

In addition to announcing it will be leaving the PC business, the electronics giant will also be exiting the e-reader world. With Amazon dominating market and Kobo making strides internationally and in independent bookstores, it's surprising Sony lasted this long. Sony Reader Store customers will receive an email at the end of March on how to transfer their purchases to the Kobo store.

This is why I am sticking with Amazon Kindle for eBooks. Flipkart Flyte is unlikely to have a safe future.

Airtel called me today and said since I'd taken Smartbytes for 12gb last month, they wanted to offer 125 fup plan(80gb now) at the same speed(8mbps) for 50rs extra.

 

I also heard they are giving 3g at 2g rates in my area these days.

Is airtel on a PR improving spree? Anyone got offers like this?

Affluenza

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 11:42 AM PST

 

Affluenza, a portmanteau of affluence and influenza, is a term used by critics of consumerism. The book Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic defines it as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more".

In December of 2013, State District Judge Jean Boyd sentenced a North Texas teenager, Ethan Couch, to 10 years probation for driving while drunk and killing four pedestrians after his attorneys successfully argued that the teen suffered from affluenza and needed rehabilitation, and not prison

 

Affluenza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Basically. Rich people can now claim that they suffer from this disease to escape jail time after killing poor people.

The Joss Whedon drama based on the Marvel Comics property has landed a series order at the Disney-owned network, ABC announced Friday.

FIR filed against Sheila Dikshit in CWG streetlight scam

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 10:31 AM PST

The Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch on Thursday lodged an FIR against the former Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit, in a streetlight project scam that occurred ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games.
The ACB registered the case under the Prevention of Corruption Act and different provisions of the Indian Penal Code on a complaint filed by the Delhi Urban Development Ministry.
The complaint alleged that Ms. Dikshit and her then Cabinet colleague Rajkumar Chauhan, in collusion with officials of the PWD, civic bodies, contractors and vendors, made illegal gains for themselves and caused a loss of Rs. 31.07 crore to the exchequer.
The complaint accuses Ms. Dikshit of "displaying an unusual interest in the project and favouring a company which was earlier declared ineligible for the project."

Which is the best brand for bike batteries in India?

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:45 AM PST

Looks like the Exide battery I purchased last year for my bike just last year is dead again. I found the warranty card but as usual, it is not filled up properly so there are no dates marked on it.

 

I guess I would buy a new one. And I think Exide is not recommended for bikes. I could not locate an existing thread but I think there was a discussion before where people recommended other companies for the same.

 

Which company's battery should I get this time around for my Yamaha FZ16?

How to safely use an Induction Cooker?

Posted: 06 Feb 2014 09:43 AM PST

Any induction stove users here? Mom is planning to start using it as an alternative because of the scarcity of the cooking gas cylinders in the city. 

 

I have read the manual. I am still confused. I basically got this:

 

I have to use utensils that are designed for induction cooking. 

I have to ensure that the cooker is at a flat surface with nothing hindering the airflow around it. 

I have to place the utensil at the center of the stove ensuring that the circle region is optimally covered. 

I have to place the utensil first and then start the induction cooker. 

 

Can anyone give me a small guide on what else to take care? Would it blast like a microwave if not used properly? :D
