    Amazon - Feedback Thread

    Long story short, I have bought tons of items from Amazon and like many, I have never been once disappointed by the service. It just amazes me how a company, which is as big as Amazon, manage to have an excellent track record when it comes to after sales service. Agreed that this is the first...

    2012 Civic LX

    Being sick and tired of driving around in a beaten down 2001 corolla (mind you, it still drove like a champ and gave zero problems), I finally had it. Also, manufacturers in the US have their "summer sales" event during the months of July and August where they have clearance for 2012 models to...

    IPTV on laptop

    Not sure if this is the right forum but I have an issue which is probably best related to networking. So I got an IPTV connection from my ISP which provides these services via fibreoptics (FTTH I suppose). Now the setup is thus: Central router/hub which is connected to the phone line...

    Youtube on ipad/android

    Since past few days, I see an issue while playing youtube videos on the ipad/thrive tablets. Lot of greenish artifacts (at times, the whole screen goes green) show up on videos. I wonder if anyone else is facing a similar issue? I play videos in 720p.

    Advice needed for Caribbean getaway

    So I am pretty much pumped for a weeks getaway to Jamaica with my fiance during the July 4 week. I have always wanted to go there and so I want this trip to be a memorable one.

    Yahoo Axis

    Didn't see anything regarding Yahoo's attempt at a web-browser (not sure it's a grounds-up software or based on another browser). Tried it on the ipad last night for a short while and it seemed faster than safari at least. Also, it shows up preview of web-pages in a large thumbnail format under...

    Graphic Cards GeForce Experience

    Source: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/articles/watch-live-streaming/ So basically, it is a cloud-based service which will detect optimal settings for a game based on your config. It appears to do a better job than letting the game decide default settings by allowing you to configure your...

    Are steam games region-free?

    NOTE: I didn't find a thread answering this by doing a preliminary search. Feel free to close this and redirect me to the relevant thread. Now to the question. So I am in the US now and have been using Steam since 2009 (I think!). At that time, I was in the UK and bought a bunch of games on...

    Steam achievements question

    So recently I formatted my PC as I installed a SSD (and read a clean install is better than cloning from a HDD) and re-installed Steam. I downloaded Half-Life 2 and as the saves are on the steam cloud, I was able to continue from my last save. Now, there's an achievement called "Lambda...

    Toshiba Excite

    http://us.toshiba.com/tablets/excite/10LE Launched on March 6th, just a day before "the big one" launched another "gamechanger". Sadly, I could find no reviews till now and it seems that this promising looking device has been grossly overlooked. It has a variety of ports (albeit...

    Laptops Would a reliance dongle work with Toshiba Thrive?

    I couldn't find a dedicated thread for tablets so posting it in the laptop section. I guess it can't hurt to have a section devoted to tablets as they happen to have significant market share. So my uncle really liked the Thrive I got for someone and has asked me to get one for him too. He would...

    Iron sight - game-changing or gimmicky?

    I am pretty much sure most people here would have played the classic multiplayer game counter-strike (ver 1.6 being most popular) at some point in time. Apart from it being able to run smoothly even on modest systems (like the one's in college labs and workplaces ), it is also has fast-paced...

    This saturday, play HL2 for HL3

    I bought the orange-box (yes, I played the demo long back but my pc was shit then) yesterday and was blow away as to how much fun the game is even in this day and age. It is quite fast-paced thanks to the absence of iron-sights and cut scenes. If you have hl2 on backlog, this is the time to wake...
