i have an old rcom data stick [black usb] ec1260 will this work for vodafone exchange? though 10 k for a year seems like a lot for low users i hardly expect to cross 5-10 gb in that period mainly FB [over 3/4th] and occasional email [5-10% of the total usage]

as i already mentioned above: vodafone had prepaid but again too expensive like rcom very few major operators seem to have rs. 100 - 200 prepaid recharge / top-up offers for data only

i also need a dual sim with the following features: capacitive touchscreen slider qwerty flash 3-4mp+ cam what's the cheapest handset that meets all these requirements? which site can i buy it from online?

i have used LPG kits in honda and toyota and they have the following benefits over CNG: - half the cost [rs. 20 k vs 40 k] - 1/4th the pressure of cng so less chance of leakage / blowout - lower emissions for fuel injection if you don't have any lpg pumps near your home or work then of course you should go for cng instead depending on usage you breakeven is about rs. 1 k / month on avg so 18-19 months for lpg and 38-39 mths for cng

nope, we only get 380 gb of available space [rest is reserved] which is about 400 hours of SD and below 200 hours of HD as a benchmark we were recording from half a dozen english channels and that filled up our space in 5 weeks only despite watching and deleting daily! so we dropped all our movie channels and only record serials now

we have run out of space on our TS+ HD pvr - is there any way to archive / move recordings to an external drive?

I got a call today from a Mukesh Sharma [MS] claiming that a legal notice has been filed against me in delhi. He insisted on me calling a specific lawyer SK Oberoi [sKO] to find out what the notice was about but claimed he was not authorised to open any case. He provided a 'file #' as reference for SKO @ 96169 18652. It just sounded so weird that I ignored his calls after that. It almost sounds like Mukesh gets paid by SKO for referring cases to him or something since he called thrice in an hour. Just wondering if anyone has ever got any calls like this before about notices in another city... I thought we had a right to know the accusation in any legal matter without payment. It alsmost felt like SKO would be asking me for some 'nominal charges' to open the file so I refused to call him. However, Mukesh had my full name, mobile, and mailing address which he verified so I'm not sure. MS called from 80810 72132. He also said the notice had been sent 15 days ago which of course I never got.

i've only been using FB for about a year now but on a daily basis here is my list of easy tweaks to the interface that would simplfy the ease of use: there should be a 'dislike' / thumbs down button like you tube also a 'recommend' button would be appropriate when tragic stories are posted [e.g., death of someone - it feels stupid to 'like' that!] there should be a way to clear your wall of all posts by a particular app / game [you can revoke its publishing rights but the past history has to be deleted individually which is a giant pain] there should be a single click to switch from secure to regular browsing [currently there is only from regular to https while it requires half a dozen to go the other way] game requests that have expired should be automatically deleted / hidden as opposed to having to click on each one to find out that its invalid there should be a way to sort all your apps by frequency or recency of usage [currently it seems a bit random] there should be a way to disable online chat or mark you as always 'offline' if you don't want to be disturbed with popups / pullups most social games require maxing out your friends / groups / teams / clans / gangs / mobs while FB wants to restrict the number of invites you send out on a daily basis to reduce possible spam [there should be a way of sending in game invites outside FB and FB should show your daily count so you don't have to get your account suspended to find out you have exceeded your quota - it should not be a secret] currently apps that request permission to spam your wall have a 'all or nothing' approach but FB should allow selective permission granting to any game anything else you would like to add?

good news - after 1 year of dieting my doctor allowed me to stop taking glycomet daily to reduce my blood sugar! as a side effect of the low carbs / low sugar diet i also lost 9-10 kg over a year ... bad news is that while my bad cholesterol has also come down, its still high enough to continue my daily medication

i still lovingly keep my 20 year old soft cover of K&R ... RIP

agreed - there is no free lunch airtel will probably hike rates by another 20-25% and the rest will fall in line

does anyone know why there is a 3 day limit for complaints? if we have all the details of the violation why should it become legal on the 4th day? there should be a system to fwd all spam sms to a gateway so that the body can be searched against other DND # and multiple violations automatically registered for fines

unless your job depends on it, you need to seriously reduce your sms length if your hand is paining don't ignore such warning signs and see a joint doctor also i had pain in my right wrist for a few months [not carpel tunnel] but since it was long hours at work it became so bad that i had to get it wrapped to limit movement for a few weeks back in 1997 i even switched my mouse to left handed since my wrist never recovered 100% from that strain needless to say i switched my job a quarter later that same year!

when it sounds too good to be true it probably is! Done! http://www.fnno.com/...blet-99-android Now selling at BELOW cost!

might it not be easier to put your handset on vibrate or silent at night? if there is no option to automatically do this on a schedule then just switch it off quicker than going to court [but of course you should go if you want to - that's anyone's right] unless you are an emergency service provider [e.g., trauma surgeon, police, etc] you won't miss much by switching off

it'll be interesting to see how well kindle does without camera and 3g built in vs the ipad i don't think it will catch up in volumes until they introduce a higher end version with a larger screen maybe priced at $299 instead which is still much cheaper than the cheapest ipad [about $100-200 less approx]

it will still lose out to the kindle due to the $100 gap they will need to start selling it at cost to compete better with amazon

i should have clarified - i have not won any auction on ebay at all so the issue of 'non-payment' is not applicable still it was suspended

my account was also suspended without any reason other than 'security' i had never bought anything on ebay till then just had listings for sale which were deleted automatically so it was not a big deal to stop using ebay but there is no recourse with the company once they think you are guilty of any violation!

its not like pvt banks are great bastions of trust - hdfc & icici cheat you at every opportunity unless you are very vocal and vigilant about charges

assuming the speed of light is 299 792 km / sec = 1,079 million km/h then the neutrinos are going at about 21,580 km/h faster = 6 km/sec [20 per million increase mentioned above] so the new speed limit can be set to 299,798 km / s no big deal [unless you are a particle physicist] nothing will change in any other branches of science due to this correction unless they figure out time travel! then its 'back to the future' ...

this requires at least rs. 10-20 lakhs to start up in a single city but there is a demand for AC auto's [3 wheelers] in the top metros: - all will run on electronic meters [tamper proof] - charge same rate as non-AC taxis [4 wheelers] - extra charge per passenger [this is done abroad - US$1/passenger] - surcharge per bag - roof luggage carrier for extra baggage - surcharge for printed receipt [e.g., rs. 5] - fees for cards [e.g., 3-4%] - choice to run meter in AC or non-AC mode [same as normal auto rates] why is this needed? 1. constant hikes in fuel prices have meant most auto & taxi will lose money if run by current meter rates which have been fixed for a few years 2. passengers are denied / refused causing more conflict and police / RTO complaints 3. govt has not put in place an automatic raise of rs. 1/km annually to cover fuel price hikes and is unlikely to anytime soon 4. huge demand near train stations and smaller one near bus stands for shorter routes [1-2 km]

it's like the total mobile users in the country - lots of passive members! how many are 'active monthly users' [like FB shows]? my guess is about 10-20 k would visit in the last month ... don't get me wrong - even 10 k is a great number but it ain't 50 k for sure.

the global definition of 'extreme poverty' is about $1/day or rs. 48 = rs 1,440 monthly very poor is about GBP 1/day or rs 76 daily = rs 2,280 / mth those should be the lowest limits for rural poor while in the top metros it should be double

has anyone bought a 'certified used / pre-owned car' from any dealership yet? if so how was your experience?
