Outernet will use a network of small satellites to transmit selected internet data – audio, video, text and applications – to any Wi-Fi-enabled device, including mobile phones, anywhere in the world at no cost. No other information channel allows for such a wide variety of content, or broadcasts on a genuinely world-wide scale

I didn't believe this concept at first but media across the globe has reported this as the new innovation

What's your opinion ?

Satellites may be able to send data to devices 100's of miles away but do our existing cell phones, computers or even network equipment in general have the capability to transmit signals back to the satellites for a 'true 2 way communication'

Hi,

I have one Acer 21.5" LCD Monitor with HDMI, DVI and VGA port on back panel. My concern is to make the LCD Monitor into HD TV through TATA SKY HD Set top Box by connecting External speaker (Creative SBS A235 2.1 Channel).

I need your help for this connection however I tried a connection i.e. set top box HDMI out>>Monitor HDMI In and started receiving video but for audio my connection was unsuccessful. I tried for Audio, STB RCA(Red & white) out>>>RCA (Red 7 White) two Pin In to 3.5mm In Converted Cable>>3.5mm out speaker. But zoo sound is coming out from speaker. Please help for the audio connection if I am wrong somewhere kindly correct me.

My ISP Syscom Infoway that my local cablewala Provides Peering that is they increase their Speeds on Particular websites and torrents, i want to know how it helps and benifits the end customers using it, i get almost 10 times the speed that is 30Mbps on YouTube, Playstore and Good Health Torrents on a 3 Mbps line, why other national ISPs are not providing this service, i want to ask cause it's very useful for the customer using the internet or particular websites all day long.

BJP leader Arun Jaitley today demanded a raise in the Income Tax ceiling from Rs two lakh to Rs five lakh, which he claimed will benefit thirty million people.
Advocating low tax structure, the BJP leader said,"Direct Tax should be reduced. If the Income Tax limit is raised from Rs 2 lakhs to Rs 5 lakhs, 3 crore people will save Rs 24 crore which will lead to a small impact of 1 to 1.5% of National Tax Fund."

So my stock cable went kaput. Then the cable i bought from Palika went kaput. 

I wanna buy a cable specifically designed for charging phones, not for data transfer. It'll use the micro usb 2.0 port on the Note 2. Is there any cable which is made for charging? 
My budget is maximum 500, and I'm willing to buy from sites outside India if the price is right. 


Any suggestions?

Failing this, I'd like to buy the original cable that comes with Mid-High end Sony phones ie Xperia Z, cause I've used one and its very nice. Give me a stable 1500 mah. 

That HTC "Desire 8" you've been seeing lately? It's finally unveiled as the Desire 816, a "flagship mid-range" phone that promises to be competitively priced, while also offering LTE (for EMEA and Asia) and HSPA+ (up to 42 Mbps). This pretty phablet comes with a large 5.5-inch 720p display, a 1.6GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 SoC, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (capacity may vary), microSD expansion of up to a staggering 128GB and a fixed 2,600mAh battery. You'll get a decent multimedia experience courtesy of the BoomSound frontal stereo speakers (with dedicated amplifiers), along with the 13-megapixel f/2.2 main camera (with Zoe mode in HTC Sense 5.5 UI) plus the 5-megapixel f/2.8 selfie camera. These are all tucked inside a 7.99mm-thick and 165g-heavy body, which is pretty good for the size.

I am currently using bsnl broadband with the router "D-Link DSL-2750U Wireless N ADSL2 4-Port Wi-Fi Router"
i m planning to get ACT broadband in a couple of days,will this router work as a wi-fi router for ACT connection,the service provider said that it should be compatible with rj45 cable,can somone please help me out???

ACT seems to have started NATing all Bangalore connections through a single IP addressed Server in Chennai. My router shows my IP address as 10.254.43.146 (thru DHCP) & my external ip address as seen Outside is 106.51.238.64 (constantly).

This has led to horrible performance issues during peak hours where the server seems to be overloaded. Many times during credit card payments & accessing websites, my connection times out even when the internet access is fine. I have even los Rs.5000 due to timeout when making a payment for Amazon. I never had any issues like this even last week.

Also it had broken all my setting for my VPN server & SSH connections which I use to access my work from home & vice versa as they are intentional breaking all port forwarding. 

I am very disappointed with ACT with this development & seriously thinking of other alternatives as I work from home few days in a week & I am now forced to goto the office for even doing small things.

ACT, if you listening, please give me back my external IP address

Hello everyone, first time poster here.

I am located in thane west and have been using 5net for about 3 months now.

The main reason i switched over to 5net  from my tata indicom adsl was the torrent speeds.

I always used to get 900kB/s fro popular torrents and even 7-8 MB/s for more popular torrents.

Later i discovered that it is due to BtCache/ CacheBT.. but since 2-3 weeks... i am not getting such high speeds on torrents. max i can go upto is 130-140kB/s (i.e my 1mbps UL plan)

BtCache/CacheBT no longer shows up in the peer list for the currently downloading torrents (as many of you might know.. this is a network caching cluster of fivenet which provides such amazing speeds... simply put.. local torrent caching)

i can see however that youtube still works good for 720 even 1080p videos(i.e youtube is still cached)

has fivenet stopped torrent caching??

any one else facing a similar issue?? 

a call to my lco got me this response "Everything is fine"

I am looking for a simple scanner to scan my business documents like letters, bills, and similar. Dont need a high end scanner as needs are simple and dont want to spend unnecessary money but need a stable and good device. So please suggest accordingly.

The show follows Sarah (Tatiana Maslany), an outsider and orphan whose life changes dramatically after witnessing the suicide of a woman who looks just like her.

Sarah takes on her identity, her boyfriend Paul (Dylan Bruce) and her money. But instead of solving her problems, she makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are actually clones.

She finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy and racing to find answers.

Pretty much going down the drain.

Goodbye, Net Neutrality; Hello, Net Discrimination : The New Yorker
 

If reports in the Wall Street Journal are correct, Obama's chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Thomas Wheeler, has proposed a new rule that is an explicit and blatant violation of this promise. In fact, it permits and encourages exactly what Obama warned against: broadband carriers acting as gatekeepers and charging Web sites a payola payment to reach customers through a "fast lane."
Late last night Wheeler released a statement accusing the Wall Street Journal of being "flat-out wrong." Yet the Washington Post has confirmed, based on inside sources, that the new rule gives broadband providers "the ability to enter into individual negotiations with content providers … in a commercially reasonable matter." That's telecom-speak for payola payments, and a clear violation of Obama's promise.
This is what one might call a net-discrimination rule, and, if enacted, it will profoundly change the Internet as a platform for free speech and small-scale innovation. It threatens to make the Internet just like everything else in American society: unequal in a way that deeply threatens our long-term prosperity.

Deadline reports that Fox made quick work of replacing their vacant director's chair and will likely be able to keep their July 18th, 2014 release date as a result. Fans should be familiar with Singer's work as he wrote and directed both 2000′s X-Men and 2003′s follow-up, X2. He also turned in the script for Vaughn's X-Men: First Class along with an ensemble of other writers, including Vaughn. We also got confirmation of the title from Singer recently. It follows the 1980s' comic storyline written by Chris Claremont that alternates between a present day battle against the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and a future timeline where an assassination of a government official has led to Sentinels roaming the land and mutants held prisoner in internment camps.
The cast from the original film is expected to return, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy.
