    Share your IMDB Vote History

    ^^^ Voting's never absolute. Its always a product of your mood and situation during the movie and how generous you are at the time of voting. I probably like some of the movies I gave 6 better than some I gave 7. I've given Fight Club, Seinfeld, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill all 10/10. But that...

    I agree. Even I started getting bored in many parts and had to skip pages. The sea and all its creatures are described in such great detail that its difficult to read all of it. It requires you to have a very vivid imagination and to be able to visualize all the sights and sounds. Guess it...

    If you want to do some serious reading of Sci-Fi, make sure you read the following epics by Sci-Fi's Dad, Jules Verne. The books are written in the 1800s but they don't really seem dated and are really interesting. Journey To The Center Of The Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea...

    phone for editing office docs & reading pdf files?

    The difference is that E61 has 3G and Wi-fi while E62 doesn't. Anyway they're both very bulky and unless your dad is used to a big phone he'll find it quite cumbersome. Its best to keep QWERTY and touch-screen phones away from ppl unless they're into that kind of thing and will make heavy use of...

    Excellent Hindi Movie Review site

    There are many reliable places to go for English movie reviews and ratings (IMDB, rottentomatoes, metacritic, rogerebert, reelviews to name a few). But if you wanted to watch a Hindi movie once in a while and check some reviews there was no reliable place. There're newspaper reviews and TV...

    Laptops Ordering an inspiron....will i get 7k bargain???

    I would suggest that no matter what you get from Dell, try to get a 3 year complete cover. Its price is given as about 10000 extra but since they have heavy margins on warranty, you could get it for only extra 5000. Refer to this thread to understand why I'm suggesting this...

    Laptops Buy New Laptop or Upgrade Existing one ?

    The logic that you won't be getting very much for your old system in the future is sort of flawed because the negative effect of price decrease on an old laptop is easily exceeded by the positive effect of the price decrease + better hardware in the new laptop that you will delay buying. So...

    Laptops Dell 1520 - With or without complete cover

    Edit to Original Post (Whay am I not getting the edit button on OP itself?): I surfed around on the web about the accidental damage thing and it seems I would be in a morally ambiguous area and committing insurance fraud if I intentionally damage it (kinda obvious now that I read it). But again...

    Laptops Dell 1520 - With or without complete cover

    Am buying the Dell Inspiron 1520. The base config which is given on the website is for Rs. 40,650. Its pretty great but has only one year limited warranty. I called up atleast 6 different sales reps and none of them has been willing to give a single rupee of discount because they say the config...

    Nokia E51 Review - Finally the perfect mobile

    ^^^ There is a 512mb MicroSD card included in the package. And since this isn't that great a phone for multimedia, I doubt you'll need more than that. Also, I haven't really written a proper multi-page comprehensive review with pictures to post in that section. Its just a small first thoughts...

    Suggest VFM - GSM/CDMA - STD Plan

    Reliance CDMA plans are the best imo. Check out their Joy 399 plan. Its 85 paise for everything as far as I remember. No point carrying local sims unless you receive a lot of incoming everyday for free. And then too ppl will be confused on which no. to call you when. And if you need mostly for...
