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?

Suggestions for Split AC - 1 Ton - 5 Star Rating

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 12:39 PM PDT

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.

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.

Uber India Updates

Uber
 
https://www.uber.com/cities/new-delhi
 
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.

Suits (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finished first season. It reminds me of two shows... First Collar on how it is presented. Mad Men because the character of Harvey Specter is so freaking similar to Don Draper.

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.
