Anyone have an invite? Would really like to get my hands on one of these. :) TIA

if anyone has an invite would appreciate it.

Nice to know. Was this Android L/5 by any chance? :) LOL probably very true of "aam jantaa". Although they would probably be totally ignorant of pretty much anything (including this :)), other than their day to day problems.

Was planning to get a Xiaomi Redmi (as the Mi3 seems like it will take forever to be available). But then came across an article citing serious security issues with Xiaomi phones sending data to chinese servers in the background. Hence think flashing it with CM would be better idea. Has anyone...

I will be moving to Medavakkam near Pallikaranai (about 10 KM from Velacheri). It looks like Airtel is not available there as yet. I will try checking with ACT. In the meantime are there are any other options for good wireless broadband providers for home use?

Hmmm... didn't know that. Probably will get in there then. Thanks folks.

Near Velacherry. Its around 3 years old. Shouldnt an AC consume only around 0.5 units of power in 1 hour (not 1.5)?

Hi, Does anyone here know of good reliable AC mechanics in Chennai? My 1.5 Tonne AC seems to be consuming a lot more power than expected (as per my observations almost 1.5+ units per hour). I recently had the Voltas folks come and service it (Water Service) and was fully cleaned as I thought...

Ok, I guess this might sound a useless question to most folks here , but I would really like to know how if a voltage stabilizer consumes power and if so how much (or how do we calculate its power consumption)? TIA
