    My PC Eats my mouse every 2-3 months any solution ? (place adjacent to window)

    Dust accumulation is the primary culprit. Try covering your mouse with a piece of cloth when not in use

    Need advice regarding Term insurance

    Do look at other providers too e.g. HDFC, Tata AIA, etc. If you are not dependent on your father's income, do not take a term policy for him. Ideally take term policies based on the income loss scenario i.e. if your family depends on your income, then you should have a term policy of a pro-rated...

    Need Help to set up TV+5.1 Home Theater system

    If you are really into music, I'd strongly recommend getting a stereo amp. Ignore movies for the time being. If you keep the budget constant, say for example 30K, you'd get a very good stereo amp but just an entry level receiver. The music reproduction of a stereo amp is definitely going to be...

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    The extra 4K for the backlight is definitely worth it (I am using one). The light works quite brilliantly and gives you the flexibility to read in any light situation. Amazon would be happy to upgrade it for you if you pay the difference.

    Need Help to set up TV+5.1 Home Theater system

    Here's how I would evaluate the projector. A projector is great for movie watching and is the ultimate choice when it comes to the 'display' part of the HT equation. But you'd only enjoy blurays and HD content on it. For regular TV watching viz. daily soaps for family, news, regular sports...

    Need Help to set up TV+5.1 Home Theater system

    Congratulations on the new house. Honestly, one lac is too less a budget and you'd only manage to get entry level equipment in that budget. If I were you, I would have opted for the best plasma in the largest size that I can get for around 65-75K. For the home theatre you have two options...

    Car & Bike Do you consider Safety features when planning to buy a car ?

    @raksrules - I just hope you don't have any incident during your car ownership when you regret not getting one with safety features. Drive safe.

    PC Peripherals Need recommendations for wireless keyboard and mouse

    I looked at those, but I guess I am old-school a bit and wanted a mouse instead of a trackpad. Now that I think about it, I don't even use the trackpad on my notebook :) Anyways, I've gone ahead and ordered the MK330 through amazon. If I don't like it I'll just return it and get something else.

    PC Peripherals Need recommendations for wireless keyboard and mouse

    That's not how I'd be using it. It'd be specifically for the PC and my 6 yr old son who's learning computers would also be using the same from a more ergonomic seating option. That's the reason why I am keen on a full keyboard. Right now the Logitech MK270 and 330 are the best options from what...

    PC Peripherals Need recommendations for wireless keyboard and mouse

    Need a few recommendations for wireless keyboard and mouse. Strictly no gaming, just casual everyday use. Full keyboard preferred and mouse should be light (my 6 yr old son would also be using it). Looking for long battery life. I will be using it from a distance of approx 4-5 feet. TIA

    Car & Bike Do you consider Safety features when planning to buy a car ?

    The car scene in India become so dynamic in the last 5-6 years, that this exercise would not help you much. The number of cars that are launched in a year is quite impressive now. Gone are the days when we just had to choose between Maruti and Hyundai. Start your research at least 5-6 months...

    Car & Bike Do you consider Safety features when planning to buy a car ?

    ABS and airbags are mandatory. It's better to get a mid-level variant with ABS/airbag than to opt for a top-level variant without one. The novelty of a new cars fancy features wears off quickly, but the safety features would always remain with you. I am sure you are spending a good chunk of...
