I wanted a mobile under 10k and after searching, bought Xolo q800 X Edition. Already have seen Xolo A500S ,Xolo Q1100 with dad and hence decided to go to xolo again. Its not like there are many great phones under 10k. Wanted to buy Lumia 525 but again felt windows is too restrictive.

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."

Can i connect a hathway digital tv set top box to a SUN direct antenna to receive some free channels on a CRT television ???

Portable would be nice but not a necessity. Need to improve coverage on the ground floor. 

I wonder why there is no thread for this yet!

The show is doing wonderfully well. I personally love it. It's different, no cheap comedy and pure entertainment.

TRP wise it's doing extremely well. Currently at the top in it's category (even above the likes of KBC, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, etc.) and overall 3rd.

BTW you can watch the full episodes, trailers, etc. here - http://www.youtube.com/user/colorstv/search?query=comedy+nights

Believe me, this show is amazing. You gotta watch this if you don't.

Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios' release, "Marvel's The Avengers," production on the highly anticipated release, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has commenced in Los Angeles, California, with production also including locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington D.C. Directing the film is the team of Anthony and Joe Russo ("Welcome to Collinwood") from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus ("Captain America: The First Avenger") & Stephen McFeely ("Captain America: The First Avenger"). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" returns Chris Evans ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel's The Avengers") as the iconic super hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with Scarlett Johansson ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man 2") as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man 2") as Nick Fury. In addition, film icon Robert Redford has joined the all-star cast as Agent Alexander Pierce, a senior leader within the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is set for release in the U.S. on April 4, 2014.
 

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will pick-up where "Marvel's The Avengers" left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

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?

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

Here is the link 8Mbps Plan - MTNL Mumbai

Anybody tried booking these plans.

Folks

Please suggest a decent free video editor app for Android.

My main requirement is to compress a 700MB HD video to a smaller size for easy online sharing. Otherwise a 8min vid is 722MB!

So me and few friends are planning a trip to mumbai and pune this summer vac. I just reading about it and learned that drinking age is 25 their and you need some special permit to buy alcohol.

Is this law regularly enforced there? We would of course be buying alcohol from local shops as well as going to bars.

We are all 21 or +-1. Should i be worried about it?

And lastly, seriously mumbai, 25?!!!

I Just resetted my modem at 08:30pm on 28/04/2012 and see the result



If U still doubt, I can post screenshot of my data downloaded from MTNL's site.

[color=#C0C0C0;]----------[/color]

I am using this plan since Dec 2011. You can see that I have downloaded/Uploaded almost 340GB

Before I was thinking that this is temporary.

 

Hello,

Basically I was referred to Hathway service ( here ) because of my issues with In2Cable.

Can someone who has Hathway comment on the few questions I have? Thanks.

1. Does hathway work similar to In2Cable where the connection is obtained via PPPoE or do I need a cable modem?

2. (BIGGEST GRIPE WITH IN2CABLE) What is the IP renewal interval on Hathway connections? (I don't plan on getting static IP).

Why im asking:

Current provider in2cable's cable connection uses PPPoE and the connection does a 6 hour IP refresh (I use a router and it many devices connect). Downloads that are slow and span beyond 6 hours will die unless it is via bittorrent.

Plus this 6 hour IP renewal window causes a lot of issues with VOIP Calling to the USA where the call gets dropped because of the IP change. This happens WAYYY too often. Sometimes the IP will change even within 2 hours and calls to the USA get interrupted.

I'm hoping Hathway's IP renewal interval is longer and doesn't drop my calls so often.

Can someone comment?

Please help,

Thanks,

I've recently taken Hathway Connection. I've a Sitecom router (some European company). Issue is if I connect my system directly to hathway modem then Internet works perfectly. But if I use the router then I'm not able to browse to internet with Domain names. If I try the IP address of any site, it will get open. Example; google.com wont open directly but 74.125.224.72 successfully opens. I had spent 2 days on google and trying from my side but no luck. Hathway tech support says this is router issue they can't help. But as this is some imported router so cann't call TS like NetGear folks.

Before posting I'd read this post http://broadbandforum.co/topic/42556-setting-up-wi-fi-router-on-hathway-broadband/.

DHCP is enabled on my router setting. Tried Mac clonning as well but didn't work. I appreciate if  someone can help me out.

Recharged with Rs 999, unlimited 3G data plan but getting message as free data available is 150 GB ..

so anyone please tell me if total data is 150 GB or can i get more data on demand..

Thanks in advance !!

I wanted to share my experience with regard to trying out a new Airtel Broadband Connection. Here it goes, hope it helps others.

So I am fairly happy with my BSNL and rarely think of changing it. Recently, though, started to use youtube for study materials and found the buffering to be very annoying. So after trying to work around and analyse what else I can do, decided to try out a new connection.

Saw the reviews of ACT and Airtel, somehow as I have been using Airtel Postpaid since time immemorial, decided for it, as the service has been very good.

Now, see a pamphlet, asking to 'call xxxxxxx for an Airtel Broadband'. I give the guy a call, and he lands up within 10 minutes at my place. I give him all documents and ask him, when you the whole setup start working, he tells me, 'Saar, maximum by 2 days', I say, fine, no problems.

So I wait, for two days and nothing happens, call the guys and he starts to give his excuses, today, after two hours, tomorrow morning things like that. So frustrated, I call Airtel and they are even more hopeless and say 'Sir, please call the person, to whom you gave the docs, we cannot do anything'.

Then I call the DSA Office, they again give me crap about problems with the line. Then I call the guys manager, and he says, I will call you in 10 minutes, Does he call back - No. Not even once these guys have bothered to call me, Not even once

Today, is day 5 of this episode and the manager says, by 2pm, I will have my connection working, and guess what it is 2:10 pm right now.

So, wrote an email stinker to all parties and copied Airtel biggies, hope they read.

But this has shaken my belief is the 'so called' private companies are better. Honestly, BSNL's service is the best I have had, and if they had the same plans that Airtel has, I would pay more and get it.

Here are the parties involved in the whole episode, please take care while dealing with them:

Name of the DSA: Lakshmi Enterprises
Address: Manjunath Nagar, Rajajinagar, Bangalore 560010

Name of the Salesman: Anjan, Phone Number: 9632324390
Name of the Manager: Purushottam, Phone: 9611191891

Place where I stay: Shantinagar, Bangalore 560027

What have I learnt: if you want to buy an Airtel connection, please buy it directly from the company or better, get a BSNL for peace of mind.
