    2.1 speaker setup! Please help!!

    Checked an unboxing video and it looks like the woofer cable has some proprietary connector. Take a pic of the cable with the connector and ask at your nearby audio/electronics shops. You can also ask at an authorized sony dealer. The last option would be cutting the wire in two and adding a...

    2.1 speaker setup! Please help!!

    What brand speakers do you have, specifically what all cables are connected to the woofer? You can find extension speaker cables at your local audio/PC store. The car audio stores will also have some cables which you can use. Don't spend too much on the cable if you have a cheap setup. The...

    Power brick for Xbox 360S

    We can be sure that the console will not get damaged based on our experiences :) Do test the new brick over extended usage and check if it overheats. I have used this one continuously for an hour max and it did not cause any issues. Would love to have some feedback if you use it for a long time.

    MTNL not entertaining application for new connection

    @phunsukh The only valid reason that I can think of is unavailability of a telephone cable to your building. You application can be rejected if this is true as they need a minimum number of residents to apply . Ask about the reason for rejection and take it forward. You will have to do some leg...

    Power brick for Xbox 360S

    yes that is the thing that is required. I got a 500W Kundip branded one from VileParle Mumbai for around 1800. It works perfectly for a Blender that I have which is rated at 220W. It also has a 6 months warranty. If you have the newer 360E then the 350W will be more than sufficient. Check the...

    BITCOIN....!!!!

    At this point it is too late to get "free" bitcoins by mining. You will actually be at a loss if you consider just the electricity bills required for mining using a computer.

    Flight travel with babies

    The first thing that came to my mind was the irritating pressure change. Some don't even notice it and the adults can handle it, but it will be very confusing and also hurtful to an infant. Check the suggestion mentioned here. http://www.parents.com/fun/vacation/planning/how-to-fly-with-baby/

    English TV series discussion

    The past two episodes of Homeland have been very nice and fast paced and are bringing the story back on its original path i.e. CIA/terrorists/plots etc. The few boring episodes in between were somewhat required as a build up to what is happening now. I feel that the Dana issue was stretched a...

    PSU Recommendation for 1440p gaming rig.

    when a 650W PSU is rated as 90% efficient, it will provide full 650W of output by consuming 650*100/90 W i.e. 722 W of electricity. You are thinking about it the other way round.

    CPU/Mobo i7 prices? Why the frak so high?

    If your priority is gaming the an i5 actually makes a lot more sense as most games will not utilize the extra threads available to the fullest. Even if the i5 is a bit slower, the 5K+ that you save can be put to a better use in a GPU which will give substantial increase. Specific article for...

    @OP, It is always advisable to open an FD instead of keeping funds idle. Check the interest rate for saving account and that for even a 30 days FD, there will be a big difference. In case of an emergency it will hardly take a day to close the FD and even with the premature withdrawal penalty...
