    Samsung Galaxy Note

    A friend got it from "the mobile store" on EMI (I think 0%) and free screen-guard and case (samsung original) for about 31k.

    Stuff from US?

    No use of a roku or apple tv if you have internet speeds less than 10 mbps. Quite pointless in the internet age. Also, they use photoshop a lot more than required.

    apple has cheated us..

    #[member='destiny'] I never really experienced "intense" heating on the new ipad. Also, there is a HUGE difference when you compare it to the ipad 2's display. I could immediately see myself disliking the ipad 2's display once I kept them next to each other. Wifi connectivity was much better...

    Asus Transformer Prime launches at 49999

    Ok had the prime for a week and I must say its not worth the money. Weak wifi, lack of tablet apps for android and excessive power drain on standby just kills it for me. The new iPad is 2x better when you consider the overall experience.

    Htc one x and Htc one v available now

    For people in India who wish to buy HTC, BEWARE! They have next to zilch customer care service even in a city like Mumbai. I am surprised they even consider selling in a country without setting up enough service centers. I'd suggest you take a look at the extremely well built Nokia n900 if you...

    Steps to buy HTC Rezound from USA

    Also remember that while buying a used electronic item, you are undertaking a gamble. On top of that, you are buying it internationally so returns are mostly out of question. I'd recommend not to go forward with this thought.

    No MBA for me :( ?

    Work for a few years (ideally 2-3) and then work on an MBA. You will have a better overall profile and will have a higher chance of getting accepted.

    Laptops My Review: Lenovo ThinkPad X120e

    #s_anuj The Amazon model you linked to has Win7 Pro + Office 2010 preloaded and that's why the higher price.

    apple has cheated us..

    Before that iphone 3g was launched. As I said, its not the manufacturers fault that the tech. doesnt exist. Nokia has been churning out 3g phones in India since 2004-05!

    apple has cheated us..

    In Australia, there is only one network which has 4g but the new ipad does not support that band. That is the problem. In india, since no network offers 4g, Apple can very well sell the ipad with wifi + 4g and say that its future-proof. That's why you should read more than just the headlines.

    Ps3 controllers

    Look at the listing. It says DualShock 3 Wireless Bluetooth SIXAXIS Controller Blue for PS3 Do you see 'Sony' anywhere? They are third-party controllers and probably pretty bad ones at that.

    apple has cheated us..

    Class-action lawsuits can't be filed overnight as you need a certain number of people who share your grievance. Also, AFAIK, you can sue a company in any country that it does business in. OP, the screen-res enough is worth getting the new one over the ipad 2. Please don't bring in benchmarks as...

    Kingfisher Airlines about to Close - Good or Bad ?

    I should have put 'in the past' in bold. I believe they have acute staff shortage leading to all these cancellations. In their prime, KFA has always provided exceptional customer service (in my case anyway). Again, I am talking from my experience from a couple of years ago.

    Kingfisher Airlines about to Close - Good or Bad ?

    I have flown KFA in the past and would rate their customer satisfaction much above any other Indian airline. Being treated courteously is not going to raise operating costs and this is the least customers expect. I'd rather be treated well than be provided any extra stuff (which would add to the...

    The iPad Thread

    I've got read/heard some negative points about the 'new' ipad regarding the insane charging time (7 hours to full from empty) and the warm screen (as compared to ipad 2). The latter can be verified in youtube vids but I want to know if the earlier is true. Please try to be as unbiased as possible.

    Activision: AlterIWnet may close down!

    I posted elsewhere that AlterIWnet definitely enhanced online gameplay in MW2 but it was more than a mod as one did not need the official game to use it. Also, I understand the thread is about AlterIWnet and not MW2 as a game so no use ranting about how bad MW2 is.

    Post your game rants here!

    I was shocked to learn alterIWnet is shut down. I actually learned about the project when I ended up buying MW2 for $5 off steam and was frustrated beyond words when I had to sit in matchmaking. I know alterIW was close to being considered as piracy but it was a much superior online experience...

    Calling all Mumbaikars : Help me setup a 2 days tour in Mumbai plz :)

    I found Candies to be quite pretentious and filled with hipsters. Only thing moderately good was the ambiance and the decor. The food was pretty ordinary too. I'd avoid it unless you want to check it out of curiosity.

    Windows 8 Consumer Preview is out!

    In addition to thick apps, I have faced problems with many websites on multiple browsers on Win 8. Mostly with websites that have a form with a submit button. Anyone experience the same?

    Toshiba Excite

    http://us.toshiba.com/tablets/excite/10LE Launched on March 6th, just a day before "the big one" launched another "gamechanger". Sadly, I could find no reviews till now and it seems that this promising looking device has been grossly overlooked. It has a variety of ports (albeit...
