    Storage Solutions VFM 128GB SSD - budget ₹6000 EDIT: bought Crucial MX100 256GB

    Erm, BTW - Amazon ships the SSDs internationally as well. I'm getting a quote of 16k for the 512GiB MX100 from Prime, direct pickup from their shop. It's coming to 15.7k delivered from Amazon. Too small a difference to order from Amazon specifically, but might be worth it for some drives which...

    WP Dell Windows 8 Venue pro tablet indian release?

    ^Just use the standard IE11 for Youtube. I agree that Google has lagged behind in releasing Metro Apps, but heck, this is a full x86 PC - you can do everything on it. I use MPC-HC to play my hi-def videos during my commute.

    Help on deciding on my first DSLR

    ^Eh? You can get all the used Pentax lenses you want if you know where to look - there are plenty of AF options available second hand as well. Nevertheless, for a beginner, who won't go beyond the basic 18-55/55-300 kit, I don't think the question of lenses arises.

    Help on deciding on my first DSLR

    Actually, in that price range, check out the Pentax K-30. Fully weather sealed, twin control dials, pentaprism viewfinder (much bigger than the basic pentamirrors on the Nik/Canon), and 3 year Indian warranty. Great camera, and you can use either the Li-ION battery or 4xAA batteries with an adapter.

    Android Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launched in India For 50k. Any Takers?

    So are we getting the Exynos or the Snapdragon 800? I played with a demo piece in Heera Panna today, and it had the 4K resolution recording option in the video menu, indicating the Snapdragon variant.
