This article may be read by many somewhere and in different wordings. But I could not find it on this forum and hence posting it. It is very nice and shows how our life has become gadget centric and no time for one own self. I got it from one of my friends, who is CA.

Once upon a time, every man wanted his wife to look like Aishwarya. Now Aishwarya looks like every man's wife...

Got mail from RCOM. says special deal for post paid customers. I dont know how far they are good. content of mail is here:

the problem is non of the state govt and also central govt is reducing tax on fuel. Goa did it but other states are simply overlooking it.

Google has to keep it open, otherwise it will loose major manufacturers like Samsung and HTC. Discontinuing free means added benefit to WP and other Oses.

Apple vs Samsung: CEOs set to meet Monday in patent talks Source Apple boss Tim Cook and his Samsung counterpart Choi Gee-sung will meet in a San Francisco courthouse on Monday to try to sort out a long-running patent dispute. The CEOs of two of the world’s biggest tech companies will face each other in a California courthouse on Monday as they seek to disentangle themselves from a patent dispute that has been hanging over the firms for more than a year. Apple’s Tim Cook and Samsung’s Choi Gee-sung were ordered last month by US federal judge Lucy Koh to attend the so-called settlement conference where the two firms will be expected to make a serious effort to resolve their differences. If no settlement is reached, the case is likely to go to trial late July. The patent dispute kicked off in California in April 2011 when Apple accused Samsung of “slavishly” copying elements of the iPhone and iPad in the design of its Galaxy line of mobile handsets and tablets. Samsung countersued, claiming that the Cupertino-based company had infringed some of its patents. Since then, lawyers at both companies have been working overtime, filing around 50 patent-related lawsuits in 10 countries. The two company bosses will meet in a courthouse in San Francisco, overseen by magistrate judge Joseph C. Spero. Both will be accompanied by their legal teams as they talk through the details of the dispute. On Sunday, a leading executive at the South Korean electronics giant, JK Shin, told Reuters that Samsung was keen to find some common ground with Apple in a bid to sort out the ongoing issue. “There is still a big gap in the patent war with Apple but we still have several negotiation options including cross-licensing,” said Shin, who will be present at the talks. Even if tomorrow’s talks between the two companies go well, it’s expected to be some time before any actual deal is reached. It’s safe to say that the final chapter of the Apple-Samsung patent dispute story is far from being written.

I think the biggest blunder by Microsoft was to let go Palm and then paying same amount to Nokia. If they could have got palm, things would have been different.

Think I should now disable ad block plus on chrome...

this is need of time. but powerful lobby has already loaded its gun. worst affected are movies and cricket. Many times, we simply forget which movie we were watching. In cricket, it was like match is shown in between of ad breaks and also drop down ads covering nearly 25 or more of viewable area. I think the broadcasting industry itself is to blame for this.

^^^ i beg to differ. The foreign companies were well aware that their Indian partner had fraudulently got the spectrum. They were of the opinion that like previous frauds, this too will not do any harm to them. Look at Etisalat, it paid millions to for just one share. Telenor and others invested but in tainted company. So they are paying for their own mistake. Even for Vodafone, UK also introduced retrospective tax and nobody is crying out. In India, they are against it as amount involve is too much. BTW, Vodafone has also offer to settle the matter. Why should India become a joke? It is problem of govt and also us that we are not highlighting the corruption involve. If this had happen in any western country, the same company would have apologised and have paid penalty. But since it is India, they know they can say whatever they want. I agree that China is way ahead. But then Chinese are law abiding citizens and corruption is not there at low level. In China, govt gives you many benefits and then ask for what you will give in return. In India, first babus will ask what they will get and then babus will decide what they get.

Yes you can. Whatsapp need net connection and hence GPRS or wifi is required for it. BIS is different. In simpler words, if you can browse the net, you can use Whatsapp. Settings are totally different issue.

2G case: A Raja gets bail, to walk out of Tihar after 15 months; DMK happy Source: HT Former communications minister A Raja, who has been in jail since February last year, was on Tuesday granted bail in the 2G spectrum allocation case. Raja, the last of the 14 individuals charged in the case still in prison, was given bail by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) special judge OP Saini. The announcement that Raja, who has been behind bars in the capital's Tihar Jail, triggered wild slogan shouting and cheering by his DMK supporters, mainly from Tamil Nadu, who raised slogans in Tamil like: "Raja, vazhga!" (long live Raja!) The DMK also expressed confidence that he would come out clean. Besides the 14 individuals, three companies were also charged in the case related to 2G spectrum licences allocated during his tenure as communications minister. "We are happy. Getting bail is part of the legal process. We are confident that Raja will come out clean in the whole episode," DMK spokesperson TKS. Elangovan said. Giving details of what had transpired, Raja's counsel told reporters that the judge called Raja towards him and told him: "Your bail application is allowed." "Raja had not moved bail until all other 13 were granted bail," he added. "Now all the accused are on bail. The case will go on." The counsel pointed out that Raja had got bail despite the CBI's opposition. The CBI had opposed Raja's bail application, saying he faced charges of accepting bribes of Rs. 200 crore, which makes his case different from former telecom secretary Siddharth Behura, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court last week. Raja, in his bail application, has requested the court to release him on the ground of parity. The agency said that important prosecution witnesses of department of telecommunications and other private people, especially connected to alleged bribe transaction of Rs. 200 crore from DB Group companies to Kalaignar TV, are yet to be examined. It told the court that if the accused was released on bail at this crucial stage of trial, then he may influence the vital witness as some of them belong to Tamil Nadu. Raja resigned as minister Nov 14, 2010 in the wake of the Comptroller and Auditor General reporting that his 2008 decision to allocate 2G spectrum on a first-come-first-served basis had caused the exchequer a presumptive loss of Rs. 1.76 lakh crore. The CBI arrested him Feb 2, 2011. The Supreme Court in February cancelled 122 spectrum licences allocated during Raja's tenure. It also ruled that all natural resources should be allocated through an auction, which the government is now preparing to do in the case of the cancelled licences. Charges against the accused: A Raja: Criminal breach of trust by public servant, receipt of bribe, forgery and cheating. - Siddharth Behura: Criminal breach of trust by public servant, receipt of bribe, forgery and cheating.

The power saving for 5 star ac should be minimum 30% more compared to 3 star. I changed by bedroom AC from old window to split, 3 star, Daikin, and found no much difference in my power bill. My dealer had warned me about the power consumption. Suggest to but 5 star - any technology. Better to ask any dealer or electrician how much watt or kwh is consumed by each AC. based on that you can decide which to buy. but no 3 star.

This can be good system if works as mentioned. Should be made mandatory in tourist vehicles in order to reduce accidents. Source..

Nothing harm in trying. Print server generally acts as a bridge. So you can try it. I only doubt whether it can work with such high capacity. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Avengers - 3 stars.. I thought only Bollywood copies but this one is direct rip off from Transformers 3. Like autobots coming to earth from different planets and capturing it, similarly in avengers, 'army' coming to earth to capture and in process, destroyed the entire city.
