OT: Samsung should have simply launched the wave (or something like it) with Android. I'm not saying Bada is bad but with the interest in Android these days, I feel that they've made a major strategic error.

Congrats :D. Are those solitaires? Platinum gold or white gold?

I require a phone for making calls and messaging. Apart from that, I would like a phone wherein I can use a stylus and scrilbble notes on to a touchscreen. I've been wondering.....do the current breed of touchscreen phones provide such capability? Do all these capacitive touchscreen phones that...

One of the best shaving gels I've seen is Edge Shaving Gel. It produces very good lather as compared to the Gilette shaving gels that I've tried. You won't get in your regular supermarkets though. In Blore' there are small shops that stock imported goods along Brigade road, Commercial street...

They're charging 69.9K for a laptop with a 11 inch WLED screen. I wonder what kind of gaming can be done on one of those. All in all, a lot of good eye candy and maybe an option for the well to do but not so tech savvy laptop gamer. I wonder if they'll find takers for the Aurora though. Many...

Thanks. This is a very useful bit of information. Actually, I really want a loan greater than 30L but because of the increased interest rate (9.25% from 8.75% for loans above 30L), I am forcing myself to keep my loan to 30L and borrow the rest from family. Actually I have already bargained the...

Folks, I'm thinking of availing of a home loan from Axis Bank, Bangalore. They have two schemes i.e. i> floating rate scheme: Rate of interest is 8.75% for a loan upto 30L and 9.25% for a loan greater than 30L. ii> fixed rate scheme: It's actually a hybrid loan where rate of interest for...

Recent versions of the WagonR(I don't know which year) have a windshield defogger which I find immensely useful. Also, they come with a factory fitted CNG kit. Folks with such a WagonR might be able to comment better. It's a practical car with nice mirrors and I liked the power steering of the...

Specs wise, the Galaxy appears to have what is required of a high end phone but looks wise, I prefer the Wave. Pity that it's Bada OS though.

Re: IBM Thinkpad R60 (Core 2 Duo) for 18K That's a good selling point actually these days. You won't believe how many programmers at my company hate the new Thinkpad's 16:9 displays. IMO, the Thinkpad is supposed to be the ultimate laptop for the programmer. But the productivity hit is just too...

Congrats :). I always find that the best computer table is the one with a lot of space on top. I hate placing the cabinet in those small spaces made in standard tables. I see that you have a nice footrest also. Things I'm not too sure about are a> the height i.e. the table seems a bit low...

Congrats. How much time to boot with the new SSD?

I just did a Rs 222/- recharge for my dad via the ICICI link in this thread and my dad's mobile got credited within 5-10 minutes. Their tie up with Oxigen seems to be working. (I didn't want to try any amount and I think Rs 222/- is one of the standard topup amounts for Airtel).

Re: All Rounder Player Like VLC but stunning look want..........!!. I've had nothing but issues with Media Player Classic Home Cinema. The regular Media Player Classic is fine though. I think PowerDVD is quite blingy but I don't think it's as good as VLC(not used the latest versions for a long...

Re: best ceiling fans ???????? I have simple white Crompton Greaves (bought in 2005) fans in my house in my flat and pearl white (with gray cirle) Havell's (bought in 2009) fans at my dad's house. Havell's is relatively new as a company I think. I have white Usha bathroom exhaust fans. On...

I don't follow. I meant that the govt. should have represented the people's interests instead of the company's. They should have forced a cleanup by the company and sought much greater compensation for victims. They were least bothered about their own people. They aided and abetted Anderson's...

If you buy the 4G now, you will be doing R&D for Apple i.e. you will be taking a chance with newly released hardware with potential bugs. If you are ok with this then go ahead.

I think many young folks appreciate his leadership but really don't get the meaning of those symbols. When you're fascinated, It's hard easy to ignore the dark side of Hitler's policies and what his leadership actually stood for. I agree with others that there have been far worse genocides but...

Anyone following the recommendations the GoM (group of ministers) constituted to look into the matter? They have recommended that the toxic, "Chernobyl like" waste be buried on site in an ...ahem "scientific" manner. Source: Bhopal GoM wants toxic waste buried: Rediff.com India News Being...

Please backup on a 2nd portable hard disk in future. Once a hard disk has failed, chances of recovery are almost nil. Only companies pay exhorbitant amounts to recover data in the event that critical process/operational information was on the disk. I once re-wrote an entire program for robotic...
