Its not Flash its a group of technologies together known as AJAX. Google uses the same technology for GMail. In fact Microsoft has been using this technology in Outlook Web Access for years now. Why they didnt integrate it into Hotmail is a big mystery to me. Although they are now.

Cool man!

The RIMWeb shopping discount voucher is a good idea ONLY if you can get a full product! It shouldnt be like a 25% discount coupon at Pantaloons (T&C Apply). Because this is a closed group so to speak and that would just stink of commercialism!

Well Firewalls are one thing. Secondly the person(s) whose PCs you "browsed" didnt have an admin passwords or any decent security set. Which is the problem with most of us! What does Rconnect or anyone have to do with that? You can browse any computer on any ISP with that. And doing such things without knowing its implications - thats the problem with script kiddies!!! :-) RConnect would be "unsafe" only if you could login with RConnect using someone else's credentials. Ashok: And what does Windows have to do with that? Wouldnt you be able to see the same shared resources on a Mac or Linux system?

Yeah @ 450 bucks a month they probably have a download limit! What is it? And their rates arent posted on their site. Well which makes one wonder....

Man I wish I was in Bombay and not in crappy lil Pune!

This sounds like its too good to be true!!! Are they delivering promised speeds?

Dude I know you're pretty mad about your RConnect speeds. But most of us are fairly satisfied with its speeds. And I think you've drawn up the wrong scale. Nobody gets 100 kilobytes per second. We do get around 100 kilobits per second! The theoritically max speed for RConnect is 18 kilobytes per second.

You mean your porn collection on DVDs? But I think we should keep the prizes relevant to this forum. Unless of course you are planning of giving away a car, bike or an all expenses paid trip to Europe!!!

Please post your RConnect problem here Deeraj. Instead of asking other people to bit*ch about it! Maybe someone here can help resolve your problem.

No fun in "winning" something if you have to give it away!

DUDE!!!! THOSE ARE FEES THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY! Its not a discount!!!!! "All this convenience and security comes you at a very nominal charge. These charges are based on your bill amount and will be charged to you at the time of the transaction and are as follows: [Then comes your little table] The amount of fees will always be shown to you clearly at the time of each transaction and confirmation obtained from you before it is processed. " THIS WILL BE CHARGED TO YOU!!!! Not paid back to you! I heard the offer on Radio Mirchi too man so I wanted to check it out. But I didnt find the 50 buck discount anywhere!

I went to visabillpay but couldnt find the offer anywhere! But I did find there is a per transaction charge (a % of the payment amount)!

I think it's high time they came out as a quality brand. Airtel is a beautiful brand as is Hutch. Theres no reason why RIM cant do that. After all in terms of technology and services RIM is way ahead of the pack. But in terms of brand recognition... they're sort of second to BSNL (2nd from the bottom that is)!

Dude Linux su**ing has very little to do with FF! I never said open source was bad did I! Most of the programs I use are open source! Cool it man don't get mad and argue like a woman (i.e. trying to imply things that I never said or meant)! And dude really relax! I never did say FF or Linux was a stupid slow thing! And don't get mad at me for saying that Linux s**ks because of its compatiblity and easy of use issues - you agreed with me on that account in another post here! And dude the browser war did happen when M$ launched IE 4. By IE 5 it was over. And yes IE 4, 5 & 6 were a billion times better than the alternatives available then. I wouldnt hesitate to pick any of those versions over any comparable version of Netscape or Opera. Sure bundling helped. But IE was a better browser THEN. Dude deal with it. Its not just me anyone who has used those browsers agree! Its only after IE 6 that M$ went into legal battles with the world (actually the legal battles had started long before but they intensified in 2000-2001) and they just stopped caring about doing anything new with IE! I'm not sure how many of you were around following the IT world at that time. But I'm sure history books have that well documented! Its only now that we have a better browser alternative. And thans to FF, Opera and Netscape have become better alternatives too. Well not Netscape just Opera! And yes we have a far better desktop search tool from Google as compared to the thing that came with Windows. So I switched to that. And yes I got a far better email service from Gmail so I stopped using Yahoo & Hotmail. And yes Encarta was the best encylopedia in the world and so I used that over EB, and the rest! It doesnt make me pro or anti open source or Linux or Oracle or anyone inbetween. I like things that work best for me. And I make informed decisions based on informed sources and trying things out myself. (And I did try Linux you know that ) So chill dude!

I think its got more to do with the Govt than RIM's eagerness to begin EVDO services. Of course given the price of CDMA services (live TV and the like) I cant imagine that would be at all worth the price for consumers.

Dude I use FF too. And love it (have been using it since version 0.7). But IE became the dominant browser after the great browser wars in the late 90's. It happened because IE 4.0 turned out to be a million times better than Netscape 4.0. This ultimately drove Netscape close to bankruptcy and they were taken over by AOL. And then Time & then it just gets too confusing. And after winning that battle. M$ almost put IE to sleep. And they now wont even bring out a version 7 for anything below WinXP. And thats plain plain plain stupid.

If you do not have a RIM/RIP phone you should be illegible for this contest! Of course that would make everyone think that Arun worked for RIM!

Windows. Compatibility. Rawks. Peace-of-mind. Rawks. Sadists enjoy Linux. Yes Windows has security flaws. But its way better than anything Linux is today. And M$ usually gets most things right. Late though it might be. Remember IE 4.0 was a far better browser than Netscape ever was. BSOD. Upgrade to Win2k or XP. Its gone. Security flaws are there by the trillions in XP. But I dont need to bash my head against the wall to make it work. I'm happy. Of course I use Google for my search, email and other needs. But I'm not trading in my OS or my office suite for anything. TYVM.

RIM would never be there for various reasons. 1. Being a IDC- Dataquest survey it would be biased towards IT companies 2. RIM's policies really **** - for employees and customers alike (its just a darn shame they have the best data plan) 3. IBM is a lousy employer. Texas Instruments is the best employer in India. By far. IBM. Lousy. Especially after the Lenovo experience I'm yet to find a "proud" IBM-iet. 4. It has little to do with Reliance HR and more to do with their corporate ethics.

Abhay, I dont think there are more than 50 "active" members around here. But dont worry about the numbers. I'm gonna win them prizes!

I was checking out Airtel's rate plans. 700 bucks for 128 kbps and I think 1k for 256kbps UNLIMITED is pretty fantastic value for money. I think Airtel anyways delivers good quality services and their customer support is way better than BSNL! I'd recommend it over BSNL DataOne anyday! I wish they'd come to Pune soon!

Maximus: This menu DADP certainly wasnt there this morning. But its appeared on my phone now! Its a WAP browser most certainly. DADP stands for the Dhirubhai Ambani Dev Programme. So they are testing this now. The select option doesn't work except for exiting the application. Hopefully it isnt developed by Jatayuu! Guys with other phones can you see this option? But anyways I wish RIM would just enable the minibrowser on the 6255 and let people live happily ever after!
