Watch/Smartwatch

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 01:17 PM PDT

So yeah with my birthday coming up, I wanted to buy a watch. I have 2 options: either get a good analogue/digital watch or get a Smartwatch (specifically pebble)

Is the Pebble Original a good buy? Has anyone bought it? Can't afford the steel one, so I'm leaning towards the Grey Pebble Original.

Pros and cons of pebble?

And why should I go for Android Wear?
I will be buying in this month though.

The general cricket discussion thread

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 10:41 AM PDT

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Misbah & Taibu seem to competing with each other for the prize of who can bat more defensively....

Considering an ADSL Modem Replacement by MTNL? Which one?

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 09:46 AM PDT

Considering an ADSL Modem Replacement by MTNL? Which one?

Board ID: 96338W2
Software Version: 3.12.01.SI.0B.06_0949_062609
Bootloader (CFE) Version: 1.0.37-12.1
Firmware Version: DNA-A212-0001.01
Hardware Version: DNA-A212 1.2
Model Name: DNA-A212
Wireless Driver Version: 4.174.64.19.cpe1.0sd


It gets quite hot and also been having issues with lots of disconnections.. So considering having it replaced..by MTNL. What do you recommend?
[ PS: Not really planning to buy my own because then MTNL blames the equipment for any issues.. Unless you convince me otherwise]

I also have a Netgear (used prev with my Tata DSL) and Airlink (bought in the US) wireless router currently not connected as they were before .

-Which Modem Wired and/ or Wireless do you have thats been working well?
- Which one would you recommend?

I have a 24 port Gigabit Switch attached to the Router as well which takes Gigabit signal to each room. A fast little local LAN.
Should I use the Modem purely as modem and use my own Wireless Router for DHCP & Static assignments on my LAN etc?

Is MTNL Inserting Scripts and Advertising in Webpages?

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 09:43 AM PDT

I have MTNL ADSL broadband in Delhi. Today I saw this popup on the side when I connected online (I removed my telephone number from the image):

 

XpK9E7W.jpg

 

After looking for the inserted code, I discovered that MTNL is inserting iframes inside the webpages!

 

The popup is being loaded from http://www.adphonso.com/testmtnl.php?CSID=22221504@mtnl

 

(I changed the telephone number in the URL above) More scrips are inserted from MTNL address 203.94.243.40

 

The adphonso website belongs to an adversiting company and that is a big problem :(

 

 

Are you guys seeing this sort of popups too? If yes, do you think is it safe?

 

I think this way inserting codes inside webpages is not good for the privacy of users.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 07:49 AM PDT

http://goo.gl/rE4cO
 

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.

Dongle conflicts with wifi?

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 03:57 AM PDT

I am experiencing a bizarre issue.

 

I am using a router DLink DSL2750U to connect to the broadband and provide me wireless access. I also use a Airtel 4G (MF825A from ZTE) as a back up.

 

So whenever I plug-in the dongle, I lose the wifi network. If I see in control panel, it simply says "Wireless Network Disconnected". With multiple trials I can reconnect, but the issue prevails in every instance of dongle use.

 

Initially I saw that the IP and subnet for both the network were same 192.168.X.X and so I moved my wireless network to 10.x.x.x

But still facing the issue.

 

Does anybody knows the remedy?

NetFire.co.in - Broad Band Urapakkam - Scam - Nungambakkam

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 02:13 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I make this post to get people aware that they are scamming people. I have the following info and not recommend any one to use and get in trouble.

 

Here the story starts.

 

I moved to urapakkam 8 months back and looking for new connection in my area and I cant find anyone with feasibility. When i google i got a local provider and find out "Netfire"

 

And I just called them on December to get a connection with them even after reading a lot of bad reviews. They answered me that they will start to give connection from "Jan 10"

 

Then I called them back on  "Jan 12" and ask them with the highest plan and to make connection asap. They said tomorrow and then tomorrow i called they said tomorrow and it keep goes on. Then I looked for review and found that they are just cheating members by giving temp connection and then it will get disconnected in 10 days and then no one will provide support.

 

If i get connection and if i get in trouble what to do if no one picks my call ? So I looked for their address and then decided to go in personal to the following one as per the site details.

 

"Phone : t8122151312

No 5 B, Near Kolachi Amman Kovil Kilambakkam, Kolachi Amman Kovil Street, Urapakkam, Kanchipuram - 603210"

 

It is just 2 km from my home and then I keep looking for the address and found that there is no such address exist in that area. I just asked the shop over there and found that many people have asked the same address to them and they dont know what it is.

 

And then decided to call them on Jan 16th and the call keep getting forward to some number and it dropped without ringing and then again i tried in afternoon and i found it keep ringing and i tried calling many time and then person made it to divert again.

 

And i called next day and asked there is no such adress exist and they said they shifted to new address and i asked them to send to go and visit in real.

 

They texted me new address which is also a fake one thought that i wont visit it as it is 40km away. 

 

Proof of address : http://prntscr.com/2mng4g

 

And I go over there and found that it was a small shop which sells cigarettes and peedis. And they are not aware of what netfire is.

 

I called them again and they didnt picked and they picked atlast and said they have closed the shop and gone for client visit and i said them that there is no such shop exist they said me that.

 

It was the address sent by the customer support of netfire and i asked them can you give me the number . They said customer support wont pick up the call. And I asked them where are you guys now ?

 

They said they were in Urapakkam and I asked shall we meet they said no we have to leave now. I said them that I can send my friend they said they cant.

 

Finally what ? They never called me back for new connection as i have found they are duping people with fake address and fake connection.

 

I make this post to make people aware of Urapakkam and near by areas to not get scammed by them as they are fake and using the demand of broad band in this area.

 

If you not decided to trust me . Ask the address and go and get a personal visit and then get a new connection.

 

 

Netfire Broadband

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 01:51 AM PDT

i work for IT park near vandalur. Recently we shifted from kodabakkam to West Tambaram. We are in need of broadband connection for office work. We cant find any service provider. Few weeks back we found an no parking on our gate stating 'Netfire Broadband'. It's new service provider. We got installed for 10MBPS. The good part of netfire is the download and upload speed. We goth both upload and download as 10MBPS. We cant find these download and upload speed on any other service provider. The sevice is very good.If your looking for good speed and good service my suggestion is Netfire

MS staff

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

ACT Broadband Bangalore Reviews

Posted: 09 Apr 2014 08:56 PM PDT

Hello Readers,

My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband.

I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263.

Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again.

I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week.

I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response.

Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband
1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in]
2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number.
3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so]
4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them
5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians]
6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service

Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time.

Supposed to be his last movie. 

In the criminal underworld of Detroit, the streets are overrun with violence and drugs and the hand of corruption reaches into the lives of everyone; well almost everyone. For Lino (David Belle) every day is a fight to live an honest life. But when a drug lord kidnaps his girlfriend, Lino is forced to team up with Damien Collier (Paul Walker), an undercover cop who's been tracking this king pin's involvement in something even more sinister -- a plot to devastate the entire city. Together they uncover a trail of corruption that leads all the way to the top. "Brick Mansions" features thrilling parkour stunts paired with gripping intrigue in this explosive must-see action film.
