Sadly, that is the state of the mass market where "megapixels" and "GBs" matter (exception for storage only). Many fail to realize that their PC/laptop is only as fast as the slowest part in the computing chain. Half the software out there cannot even utilize more than 1 core effectively. I see...

You can look at the 120GB Samsung 750 EVO at http://www.amazon.in/Samsung-750-EVO-120GB-Drive/dp/B01AAKZRPW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475508150&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+750+evo+ssd Different type of NAND as compared to the 850 EVO but still, extremely fast I'm told. Put two of them in RAID 0 on a...

I'ts a great feeling to have revived your old or not so old hardware :). Yes, an add-on internal HDD would be perfect. However, my IT guy tells me that most laptops nowadays do not have space for an additional RAM stick let alone an additional HDD. Sad but true about the indian market. I feel...

Wooah..12GB!!? I'm really out of touch these days :). I still use a decade old Win XP PC with 2GB RAM. It's ok for most tasks but sadly, browsing is a little slow these days what with each browser tab consuming 100MB+ of data (What's wrong with browser developers these days? I cannot find a...

Circa 2014, I'd bought a Lenovo Z50-70 15.6 inch laptop for my father-in-law to use. It came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed and a 1TB HDD. Coming from the days of DOS and having used Win 95,98,XP and 7 in my office laptop, I had placed full faith in Microsoft to bring any latest hardware to...

I'm seeing a trend here. People have normally paid for Windows, MS Office, antivirus and games. I think that most people have used pirated versions of other applications on their PCs but I suppose that over the years, free software alternatives have become more available and have pretty much...

Thanks for the suggestions. I share your concern about the Bose speakers. I've seen many positive reviews about their products and I think that they might be better that your standard 2.0 speakers but their sound probably isn't a whole lot better than that of a decent 2.1 midrange speaker...

In my experience with Failtel over the past nine years, I have not seen a company that cheats its users like the way Failtel does. People have talked about Reliance and their shady business practices but in my experience, Failtel has surpassed the competition as far as bad business practices are...

My Altec Lansing MX-5021 2.1 speakers purchased in mid 2006 for around Rs 8,500/- stopped working around mid 2014 due to what seemed to me like a control pod issue. I'd bought a JBL Micro laptop speaker as a stop-gap solution which unfortunately turned into a more permanent solution for the...

This seems like a good development on paper at least. Broadband speed revision is due from a very long time. As is the case with govt. PSUs, one is left to wonder how or if they will actually be able to deliver on their tall claims. On the other hand, private companies are behaving like govt...

I am currently on the lookout for a washer dryer combo front loading machine. I visited the Siemens showroom at CMH road, Indiranagar Bangalore two days ago. I was quite disappointed to note that they have only one washer dryer combo model that is made in China. Also, they have two classes of...

Folks, I need to setup a home WiFi network for the main purpose of controlling a Foscam 9821P wireless IP camera for baby monitoring and viewing recorded video every evening. I have a fixed line broadband connection from Airtel and access it using a Beetel 220BX ASDL2 modem. In order to...

My apologies for my late response(was getting ready to travel for some company business). Thank you for your analysis and reply. It is very useful. The I/O accelerator card seems to be a cost effective solution already suggested earlier by folks at our remote site but was somehow ignored. I am...

I bought a white Samsung Note 3 Neo for Rs 19,000/- + Rs 450/- for a reb rubber case + Rs 1,100/- curved, tempered glass screen protector for my wife yesterday from Waves Telecom, Bangalore. After a lot of deliberation and comparison with the Note 3, we decided that the Note 3 Neo was good...

Thank you for your reply. W.r.t. points 2 and 3, Our product build process does not involve any compilation but rather assembly of application packages delivered to us from various geographic locations to create an integrated product. I'm not a 100% sure on this though as we are yet to receive...

W.r.t. applications, we would probably not be running any web server or database. Our requirement is to run a daily build process that will pick packages from 2-4 different work sites in different geographies via rsync, run some processes to create a product build that would bundle these...

Folks, I'm looking for the best enterprise level solution to build our company's software on. We currently use RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) as our Operating System in our lab. We used to use servers with HP-UX 11.1v1 v2 and v3 OS but due to the ability to run virtual servers on RHEL, we've...

Folks, I need to avail of a wireless internet service provider in Mangalore for my dad. I can subscribe to either of two service providers i.e. Airtel or Reliance. Apparently, they have some corporate offers for employees of the company that I work in. W.r.t. Reliance, when my father-in-law...

The service centre could've used the parts from my old laptop towards repair of a similar model. In fact, except for the screen, my laptop was working fine. (I have however removed the 256MB + 1GB (additionally purchased and installed) RAM chips and the 60GB HDD from the laptop.) Useless as it...
