Pc not booting up

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:39 PM PDT

Had to shift pc to another room. So opened the CPU and slightly dusted off the dust.plugged it back in but pc was slow ..suddenly getting BSODs after using it for 5 mins. Then get notifications that windows recovered from unknown error. Then I opened CPU again and made sure all plugs are properly fitted. Now it won't even boot up, pc starts ..fan spins at full speed but it won't boot up. Need help. Did I mess up anything when I opened it?

The title says it all.  Max budget is 35k.  5 star rating is essential.  Usage is very less, mostly 3 - 4 hrs a day.

 

I have shortlisted Voltas.  Anyone having Voltas please share your experience.  Any better suggestions welcome.

Tikona Broadband User Experiences

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:30 PM PDT

Thought I would start another thread for people who have actually used this service to describe their experience. They have started advertising quite heavily in Bombay and their plans seem pretty decent. Their 600kbps UL plan would be excellent for me. I really like the way they have bill limits for their limited plans as well. That shows they understand consumer concerns about enormous bills and have designed their plans to allay them. So how good is their service? Any down time? How quickly do they respond to complaints? Really any information from people who have used Tikona would be appreciated.

Windows Phone 8.1

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:19 PM PDT

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/08/windows-phone-notifications/

You know how it goes, you buy a phone on eBay, and it comes with a developer / pre-release version of a major mobile OS. Well, if these images are to be believed, that's at least what happened to one bargain-hunting Windows Phone fan. The screenshots -- said to be taken from a Nokia 920 -- show Windows Phone 8, but with a few new tweaks and features. Most notable, will likely be the notifications, but other tidbits include App list ordering based on frequency of use, week view in the calendar and the option to kill apps from the multitask screen. The phone reports a build number of: 12084.WPMAIN(wpbldlab).20130509-1407 leading some to infer that this version could have been compiled sometime in May. A tease of something to come? As always, hard to tell, but expect the price of second-hand 920s to bump up a little, for the next few weeks at least.

Slow Aircel 3g speed

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:18 PM PDT

I'm in Bengaluru. Up until a few weeks ago, I was getting very good 3g speeds. Then something changed and my phone would not connect to 3g anymore. I was using the aircelgprs APN at the time. I sent a request for the APN settings (sms PI to 121) and the settings I got has an APN named aircelwap. With this APN, the phone connects to 3g, but the speed is terrible. Speedtest shows 2.74 mbps download speed, but videos buffer constantly and websites take a while to open. There is a big disconnect between the Speedtest results and real world usage.

Any one have a similar experiences? Any ideas?

New Wifi Router for Bsnl Evdo Modem

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:13 PM PDT

Hi Guys.

 

I was searching a wifi router for my bsnl evdo prithvi modem from a long time. Some months ago i had purchaed a TPlink 3040 router without knowing that it will not support prithvi modems. i tried alot to configure and making it working with pritvi modem but all of my efforts were in vain.

 

Yesterday i again started online searching for the router and found one which support all of our indian modems which other router doesn't support and i thought our prithvi modem will work with this router. But as you can understand i already wasted my money on tplink router so i will not buy any router without some advices or feedbacks.

 

Below is the link for the this router.

Rs. 70 + Rs. 2 per minute + Rs. 20 per KM
 
https://www.uber.com/cities/bangalore
 
Rs. 80 + Rs 2 per minute + Rs. 18 per KM
 
Possible models: Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord. 
 
So I am guessing only targeting the premium segment right now. Still cool.
 
Prices are quite amazing except for the Rs. 2 per minute tax which is horrible for India. Both Delhi NCR and Bangalore are congested cities which means that you are going to be paying while you are stuck in traffic jams. I do not think it is associated with waiting time alone.

The problem is that Specter is like 5% of what Draper is. It just does not feel solid enough. When Draper talks, you listen. When Specter talks, you hope that he would say something that would impress you. Sadly, it does not happen very often.

Using portable CD/DVD players during travel

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 05:20 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I have heard of portable DVD/CD players, but never used one. Right now I have got one at home, but it is not portable. I have to plug in the white, red and yellow cables into the back of my TV to watch CD/DVD on my TV. Is there any portable DVD/CD player that can play both audio CD/DVD and video CD/DVD as well. I want to use this portable player to watch movies on CD/DVD and listen to music on CD/DVD. I guess they run on batteries. Thanks.

Narendra Modi basically calls Arvind Kejriwal a Pakistani Agent

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 03:50 AM PDT

"Lal Bahadur Shastri said 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan', but Congress' slogan today is 'Mar Jawan, Mar Kisan'."
He did not spare Kejriwal, who on Tuesday challenged him to a political debate in Varanasi after announcing he will fight against him in the holy town.
"There are three people who are being praised in Pakistan - they are three AKs - AK 47, AK Antony and AK 49."
"This AK-49 in his website shows Kashmir as a part of Pakistan. And his close aide wants referendum in Kashmir," he added.
Modi also targetted Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi over his comment Congress is a thought saying the Congress itself is under pondering.
"Dear Shehzada, this country has reached the state it is in because of your thoughts," Modi hit out at Rahul.

Lok Sabha 2014 Elections in Gurgaon

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:31 AM PDT

AAP has already confirmed that Yogendra Yadav would be their candidate from Gurgaon. 

Current MP is Rao Inderjit Singh who won on a Congress seat but moved to BJP few months ago. 

 

And there are now reports that Congress might field Sharmila Tagore as their candidate from Gurgaon. 

 

Congress may field Sharmila Tagore from Gurgaon — www.financialexpress.com (Pataudi is actually part of Gurgaon so she is not really an outsider)

 

I am guessing AAP has a good shot in Gurgaon if this is what the situation looks like. Though dad says that Rao has a very good reputation in the rural parts of Gurgaon. Hopefully the urban Gurgaon would vote for a smarter choice this time around!

Transcendence

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 11:42 PM PDT

 

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can...but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

Strange. I thought I had started a thread for this.

Jaswant Singh expected to leave BJP

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 12:23 PM PDT

Good stuff going on. Jaswant Singh is not getting his choice of seat so he is expected to resign this week.

Upset Jaswant Singh breaks down, likely to quit BJP tomorrow | NDTV.com
 

Expressing disappointment over the denial of a seat of his choice, an emotional Mr Singh told NDTV today, "My honour cannot be subject to trading." He broke down while speaking and added that "there has been encroachment upon the principles and ideologies of the BJP."
Mr Singh, 76, wanted to contest what is likely to be his last election, from Barmer, the constituency in Rajasthan where he was born. But the BJP ignored his request and instead decided to field Colonel (Retd) Sona Ram Choudhary, a former Congressman who recently joined the party.
Mr Singh has not confirmed yet whether he would contest as an independent candidate from Barmer.
Aiming to placate the senior leader and to play down the controversy, BJP president Rajnath told reporters, "He (Jaswant Singh) is a senior leader of the BJP and is highly respected. His esteem cannot be calculated by a mere ticket." His colleague Arun Jaitley added, "It is unfortunate that we could not adjust him. The party will find some other option for him."

Windows 8.1

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 11:50 AM PDT

What to Expect (And What We Want) From Windows Blue
 

 

More tile sizes: If Windows Phone can support three tile sizes (small, medium and large), then Windows 8 should absolutely support them, too. The tiles are much larger on Windows 8, so smaller sizes would be easy to tap with a fat finger. It will also make for a more personalized Start Screen, which the Windows 8 Modern UI is all about.

Updated Mail: The Windows 8 Mail app needs some extra power. Simplicity is great, but some basic additions would help it be a more useful tool. Microsoft should add support for POP3 accounts and incorporate features available in Outlook.com like drag and drop. A report from ZDNet suggests that this might come prior to the Windows Blue update.

Ability to use multiple browsers in Modern UI: This is a small request, but it addresses what can become a major annoyance in Windows 8 if you ever use more than one browser. Right now, even if a browser is available as a Windows 8 app, it will only work in the Modern UI environment if it is set as your default browser. If it's not your default browser, then it will open in the desktop. That goes for the built-in IE10 browser and other offerings like Google Chrome.

Boot to desktop: This is one of the most common Windows 8 demands, especially for business users. It should definitely be an option for Windows 8 Pro users, who do most of their work in the desktop environment. It's thoughtful and will make a large number of users happy without much work. But it should absolutely not be an option for Windows RT, where the opposite should be true.

Make it possible to manage everything in Modern UI: Alternatively, if you want to stay in the Modern UI 100 percent of the time, Microsoft should let you stay there 100 percent of the time. Especially since the Modern UI is the future of Windows. Microsoft should have the Task Manager, Windows Explorer and Control Panel available as Modern UI apps. You should be able to change your screen resolution and manage your files without being forced to the desktop.

What are the details of BBNL 10Mbps Unlimited Plan

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 10:12 AM PDT

So, I was about to move to Bangalore, and I heard some good reviews about BBNL, so I thought that I should give this a try too.

But I would need some more details on their 10Mbps Internet plan. I have read at some places that they are now having a FUP of 75GB on new users. Is this true. Also if this is true then what is the speed after FUP, this is really important.

If it is 2Mbps or 4Mbps then it is fine, anything lower than that should not be good as I am currently stuck with BSNL 0.5 Megabits connection and it is a pain in the ass. I can only watch YouTube Videos at 360p that too with hiccups.

I am a gamer and always download games through Steam/Desura/Humble Bundle. So I would like to have an Internet as fast as possible. My budget is Rs. 1500 and I want speeds of 4Mbps+ after FUP (or at least 2Mbps)

 

Also can I change my forum username anyhow. I made that username when I was a kid, and it sucks. Can I change it in any way. I use the same email in my Twitter/Facebook and Gmail of course.

LOCATION:-Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi

 

And from day one my upload speed is slow, vary in between 170-250 kbps(kilobits)

Downstream Upstream    SNR Margin : 3.8  4.5 db   Line Attenuation : 19.6  16.0  db   Data Rate : 4095  229  kbps   Max Rate : 5268  272  kbps   POWER : 19.3  12.0  dbm   CRC : 7 0

 

So, what could be the reason for slow upstream data rate.Am i being synchronised at wrong upstream data rate OR there is some issue with my line.Yesturday i called the lineman he said line quality is acceptable and this issue maybe from backend.

Max upstream data rate i have seen so far is 312 kbps that too only once.

So they have launched and Android App. Seems useful

On a personal level, 

 

Upon logging in, it is showing my brother's account details, though his account itself has no connection with mine. I have an online account, he doesnt. I just recharged a few times on his behalf & provided my email ID. 

 

So, yeah /facepalm. Have raised a complaint and once its fixed, need to be able to have two separate IDs. & use them separately.

The Expendables 4

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 07:00 AM PDT

Pierce Brosnan will star in Expendables 4

 

"Pierce Brosnan has agreed to star in ''the next'' 'Expendables' film.

The 60-year-old actor has been offered a part in the action films - which have been written by and star Sylvester Stallone - by producer Avi Lerner, who would ''love'' to work with the hunk.

Talking to ShortList magazine, he said: ''The offer has come in for the next 'Expendables'. I just worked over in Bulgaria with Avi Lerner who makes them. He said 'Would you like to be in 'The Expendables'? I'd love to have you', and I said 'Why not?'. So we'll see.''

Quizzed on what film in the franchise he's referring to, the Hollywood A-Lister added: ''I have no idea which one it would be, I just said 'Yes'. It could be seven!''

'The Expendables' was released in 2010 and proved to be commercially successful, and two years later a sequel hit the big screen grossing over $310 million worldwide.

The third installment will be released in August this year, starring film favorites Stallone, Jason Statham and Jet Li, who reprise their roles as leader of the titular group of mercenaries Barney Ross, second-in-command Lee Christmas and martial arts specialist Yin Yang, respectively."

custom airtel broadband plans for existing customers

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 06:34 AM PDT

Hi frineds, On this march 20, I took a connection from airtel broadband in Bangalore city with the plan 899 for 15GB @ 4mbps with free wi-fi router. And I paid a total of 600 rs to their sales man,And he told me that the connection will be activated within 3 days. But upto yesterday,I didnt get any calls from Airtel and I think I am cheated by them.

 

But yesterday morning,they called me and informed me that such an offer is not available in my place.So I demanded for refund of my money and at that time they told me that it is not refundable,instead of that they could provide me a plan of 1199 for 25GB @ 4mbps. And they also added that they could provide me the same 899 plan which I requested after a month.Because 899 plan is not available for new customers.So I  agreed with them..

 

All I need to know that whether their promise is trustworthy or not...

Is anyone here who experienced such a migration in their plan within one month of a new connection..
Please help me, Thanks in advance.

Wifi router with PoE for Tikona

Posted: 29 Mar 2014 05:18 AM PDT

Anyone tried PoE wifi router for Tikona?

 

At present I use two power supply points: one for PoE injector and another for wifi router.

 

Outdoor CPE --> Telenet PoE Injector --> Lan cable to Wifi router --> Wifi router --> Laptop, phone, tab etc

 

With PoE router I can remove the intermediate PoE injector where the cable from outdoor CPE gets into.

It will look like:

 

Outdoor CPE --> Cable direct to Wifi router --> Laptop, phone etc

 

Anyone has tried this and such PoE routers are available for home use (read cheap).
