got call from sony care, they said this is a common problem with Nero 6 and 7, asked me to uninstall Nero, restart pc, format dvd-rw, then use windows default file writing service. lets see, i am trying this..

^^^ i have mailed the doubt to sales tax india email. lets wait for the reply..

^^^ it can go below 1p/1sec -> 1p/2sec [effective charge 0.5p/1sec] docomo has that 1p/2sec for onnet pack i guess...

May be they change tariff to 2p/sec and 3p/sec slowly in the future. BTW they have already a cap for STD 1p/1sec now [sTD – First 27,000 seconds charged at 1 paisa per second in a month, beyond that 2 paisa per second in that month.].

Where did u get this from? May be these are the plans they formed before launching current plans.. BTW the presentation shows how detail they have studied the tariff. Good work..

Source Telecom service provider, Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL), has launched a new product offering, primarily targeted at the the rural community. Under a project christened ‘Nano Ganesh’, TTSL will be offering services that allows the farmers to operate their irrigation pumps from remote locations without having to travel tens of kilometres to and fro daily. The telecom service provider has tied up with Ossian Agro Automation to offer a remote device access to regulate the irrigation systems. According to Naveen Bhasin, chief operating officer (Gujarat), Tata Teleservices Limited, “Tata Indicom is the first operator in the country to partner Ossian Agro to offer remote access to irrigation pumps using a mobile phone Nano Ganesh – a radical move to save electricity, time, money and resources like water. We have launched a pilot project as part of the inauguration at Sojitra in Anand district of Gujarat.” Under the service, farmers will have to buy a Tata Indicom mobile connection and a mobile modem that will be attached to the starter of the pump set. After registration, the subscriber (farmer) will be provided with a unique code number. Using the mobile handset, the farmer can remotely switch on and switch off the pump set with the assigned code number. The farmer can also check the on/off status as well as the availability of power by a particular tone. “This service is exceptionally functional in order to save lot of time and energy in the regions that have erratic power supply,” Bhasin said. The subscriber will be charged Rs 2,700 for the device and an additional amount for the handset that offers lifetime validity. The service comprises two handsets that will be provided with the bundled offer – one installed with the device while the other remains with the farmer. All the calls made to the pump by the Tata Indicom mobile will be free whereas the other calls will be charged as per the tariff plan given to the subscriber.

Yes now on we can see new innovations from different operators due to competition.. i have just posted a couple of Reliance innovations in News section.. All these innovations will benefit customer but wont get ALL from the same operator..

Coming soon: Unmanned aircraft! Source MELBOURNE: Imagine an eerie experience on board an unmanned aircraft which may soon fly side-by-side with piloted passenger planes. Well, your imagination may soon come true -- thanks to a team of scientists who are carrying out an experiment which, if successful, would make flying machines buzz about without any incident and without direct control inputs from any human. Inside the laboratory in Seattle, the scientists watch unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) airborne, swarming around the shed, their pre-determined altitudes and collision avoidance mechanisms already programmed in, using advanced algorithms that could ultimately spell the end of piloted aircraft. The algorithms developed in the lab will soon be put to the test in the skies above Kingaroy in southern Queensland in the world's first ever trial of unmanned aircraft inside controlled airspace, the 'Courier Mail' reported. Small UAVs will fly in the same airspace as larger piloted planes to prove that the unmanned aircraft can operate safely alongside more traditional, human flown craft, the team from University of Queensland and aviation giant Boeing said. Even inside the Boeing lab, the engineers fly up to a dozen small, four rotor UAVs simultaneously to test their theories and to establish the ground rules for safe unmanned flight in crowded airspace. According to Boeing's new Australian research chief Bill Lyons, the aim is clear. "To allow (unmanned) systems to operate at least as well as human piloted systems." However, senior Boeing engineer John Vian said the major challenge for unmanned aircraft operating in controlled air space is safety. "We don't know how these systems will develop. For these systems to be viable they have to be reliable and totally autonomous. We develop the technology, how it is applied is up the customer," Dr Vian said.

Source Reliance Communications (RCom) will next month launch a mobile phone-based novel, Deaf Heaven, authored by award-winning writer Pinki Virani. The book will be packed in a set of 90 SMS messages priced at Rs 30 and made available through an specially-created SMS subscription pack. “Subscribers will receive the entire novel over a series of SMSes spaced over a period of 30 days. Every day, the subscriber will get to read the novel through three SMSes,” said Krishna Durbha, head (VAS), Reliance Communications. Reliance also plans to convert the book into an adult audio mobile book. The audio book would be available on a multimodal number which was under development, said Durbha. “The adult audio mobile book will be offered at a flat subscription price of Rs 30. Users will be charged Re 1 per minute to hear the audio book.” The audio book, which will be made available in English, constitutes almost 60 minutes of audio content. The digital rights of the literary content will be owned by the author. RCom refused to share the details of the revenue-share arrangement. Value-added services, or VAS, which on an average comprise up to 7 per cent of the total telecom revenue for Indian operators, is a growing segment. Operators dominate the revenue sharing arrangement in India. Of the amount paid by the users, 70 per cent is kept by the operator, the aggregator gets 25 per cent while the content owner gets the rest. The handset-based novel is part of RCom’s strategy to further drive its VAS revenues in the metros and Section A and B cities. It says it is targetting 20 per cent revenue from VAS and data services. The company is gearing to launch F1 Racing live on its portal, R-World, and is reportedly in talks with publishers and authors to further VAS based on literary content. “We want to grow the VAS market beyond Bollywood and are looking to launch poetic works like shayari through audio books,” said Durbha. RCom had earlier announced its intention to overhaul its pricing model to offer services such as caller tunes, news alerts and internet surfing for as low as Re 1 a day.

RCom launches ad-funded videos on mobile platform Source MUMBAI: Reliance Communications (RCom) has teamed up with UK-based mobile marketing company 3rd Space Services to launch advertising-funded videos on its mobile platform. Under the agreement, 3rd Space will supply mobile video content to RCom. It will also offer content such as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Bollywood songs and films along with content on every data-enabled handset within the Reliance network. With this, RCom's customers will have access to free content online in exchange for watching an advertisement embedded within the video. Both companies will focus on bringing in Indian and International advertisers. Says Reliance Communications value-added services head Krishna Durbha, "Our tie-up with 3rd Space will not only increase the viewership but will also enhance the revenue of both the companies. Our initiative will act as a launch pad for ad-funded videos in India."

Google's India strategy for the Chrome OS: One idea

U said exactly what i think.. I have my own scientific questions on what religious people believe.. Thanks for the mvgroup links, will read now.. HiHi yes.. true... Yes i agree that, but my question is what God/Allah/Narayan is saying about earth and human formation ?? Will try do some research with the available information and keep you all posted..

was on roaming today in kerala [trivandrum] on the highways in tamilnadu a couple of places i found no network including kerala-tamilnadu border. In kerala the story is diff, most of the place my mobile was connected to IDEA. only few places i could see Tata Gsm and not Tata Docomo. I think network is not ready in trivandrum. There were also a couple of places where i could not find both tata and idea. while on idea, need to redial 2 or 3 times to make outgoing calls. no problem in incoming.. overall tata docomo has to improve on these places.. Rgsm was better in these places...

All networks will have some locations with bad network coverage and i am in Reliance bad network area All networks will have good and bad cc, most of the time i got connected to those poor Reliance CC This is my story, every one will have their own story..

^^^ 41.96 is the charge for my calls so far using tata docomo where i was charged 1p/1sec. 42.14 is the charge if i make the same calls with MTS where i will be charged 49p/1min

^^^ thanks for the experiment.. i think it should be problem with that particular DVD RW or problem with 2x writing.. i should try 4x then... have mailed sony care.. lets see what happens..

this is a nice plan.. my tata docomo calls in 1p/1s tariff is Rs 41.96 whereas the same calls in 49p/1min tariff is Rs 42.14 its all due to tata docomo launch..

A robot that has learned to smile! Source New York (PTI): Scientists have developed a a hyper-realistic Einstein robot which they claim has learned to smile and even make facial expressions through a process of self-guided learning. A team at California University used machine learning to "empower" their robot to learn to make realistic facial expressions. The Einstein robot head has about 30 facial muscles, each moved by a tiny servo motor connected to the muscle by a string. Today, a highly trained person must manually set up these kinds of realistic robots so that the servos pull in the right combinations to make specific face expressions. In order to begin to automate this process, the team looked to both developmental psychology and machine learning. Developmental psychologists speculate that infants learn to control their bodies through systematic exploratory movements, including babbling to learn to speak. Initially, these movements appear to be executed in a random manner as infants learn to control their bodies and reach for objects. "We applied this same idea to the problem of a robot learning to make realistic facial expressions," said Javier Movellan, a team member. Although their preliminary results are promising, the scientists noted that some of the learned facial expressions were still awkward. One potential explanation is that their model may be too simple to describe the coupled interactions between facial muscles and skin. To begin the learning process, the team directed the Einstein robot head to twist and turn its face in directions, a process called "body babbling". During this period the robot could see itself on a mirror and analyse its own expression using facial expression detection software created at the university. This provided the data necessary for machine learning algorithms to learn a mapping between facial expressions and the movements of the muscle motors. Once the robot learned the relationship between facial expressions and the muscle movements required to make them, the robot learned to make facial expressions it had never encountered, the scientists said. "During the experiment, one of the servos burned out due to misconfiguration. We therefore ran the experiment without that servo. We discovered that the model learned to automatically compensate for the missing servo by activating a combination of nearby servos. "Currently, we are working on a more accurate facial expression generation model as well as systematic way to explore the model space efficiently," the scientists said.

Screens to improve mobile’s battery Source LONDON: Scientists have come up with a way to make limited-coloured screens for mobile phones, which can improve batter life. Johnson Chuang of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, has shown that OLEDs can be made frugal by carefully choosing the balance of colours used to make up an image. The researcher says that each pixel in an OLED screen is made from a spot of polymer that emits coloured light when supplied with power, and each uses different amounts of energy depending on the colour being displayed. According to him, yellow colour uses less energy than magenta at the same brightness. "Colours with equal perceived brightness don't necessarily use the same amount of energy," New Scientist magazine quoted the researcher as saying. The researcher further said that LCD panels use the same amount of energy no matter what hue the screen, as the backlights in the display always remain switched on. Chuang and his colleagues have now successfully designed sets of colours that slash the power consumption of an OLED panel by up to 40 per cent, with minimal effect on how people perceive an image. They have revealed that their colour choice resulted in energy savings of between 37 and 41 per cent over a traditional colour palette, depending on the scene being shown. The new colour palette could help the designers of mobile devices like cellphones extend their battery life. Presently, about 50 per cent of the stored power of a mobile device, such as a cellular phone, is typically used to run its LCD display. "Say you're running low on battery and you want to use Google maps to get home. Switching to an energy-aware colour set could make your battery last longer," says Chuang.

i was also treated the same way.. 4-5 years of promises and no improvement..
