    X360/PS3 on standard TV

    I've been thinking of buying either a X360 or a PS3. Am yet to decide as I haven't looked at the game catalogue for both. The problem is right now I only have a standard TV, and will not upgrade for a few months. Will it be worth getting it now or should I wait till I get a LCD TV? I know i...

    Why I Left India - Article from NY Times

    A few points he makes are valid, but he doesn't seem to be clear on what he was expecting. Such disparities exist everywhere including the US. Looks to me like he was just trying hard to be a "desi" when he really wasn't. He wanted to go back to the US and this article seems to be his attempt at...

    Codeigniter Or Kohana

    Yes, it does not need anything special. You can deploy it as a normal app. But it really helps if the server has an accelerator like APC/eAccelerator/XCache installed. Running a production site without it might not be the best idea.

    Codeigniter Or Kohana

    Re: Codeiginter Or Kohana I would also recommend that you to have a look at Symfony2 before deciding. Its made rapid strides from version 1, and I am currently using it for a project.

    Tablet for productivity

    I don't need a netbook. I don't need most of what you pointed out (SD, Win 7, full size USB). Most of modern day tablets can do the things that I expect. The confusion is between the iPad2/Xoom provided some there is no other cheaper alternative.

    Tablet for productivity

    Problem is the devices from SingTel/Starhub do not have tethering by default. And they come with firmware 2.3.4. So no jailbreaking for now :( @Sei, didn't like the transformer. I somehow felt the Xoom was better. And I don't have to wait for ASUS to push out updates. I will be checking out a...

    Tablet for productivity

    Yup, just saw that bestbuy will be selling it for $300 from today. But I'm in Singapore, so if the price drops here as well to around 400 SGD, I will definitely consider it. And yea, I don't want PDF editing. Don't know what I was thinking when I typed it out! Also, can someone confirm my...

    Tablet for productivity

    Thanks for the replies everyone! @m-jerin, I don't want a cheap tablet now cause I will be using this for a couple of years at least. And don't think I can wait till Kal-el unfortunately! @avi didn't know the iPad 2 could tether! And just to be clear, I was talking about using it as a mobile...

    Tablet for productivity

    I'm looking for a tablet mainly for productivity. Before anyone recommends the iPad, here is what I'll be doing on it: 1) Lots of note taking (along with some scribbling) - For this reason alone the HTC Flyer seems great, but I feel its overpriced for what it offers. And no HoneyComb 2) Need...

    15" laptop for development

    @babu.mohan10, thanks for your suggestions. I've had bad experiences with dell in the past, and would like to aviod them if possible. The XPS 15 looks good, but has very average battery life. @teja92, was just reading up on Ivy Bridge and seems like it will be a update worth waiting for. I am...

    15" laptop for development

    I am looking for a good 15" laptop for development and occasional gaming. I currently own a 13" macbook, but prolonged sessions strain my eyes due to the small screen, and it is quickly getting outdated. Should have at least a Core i5 processor, 4GB of ram and a dedicated graphics card, and good...

    Need a multifunctional printer/scanner

    B&W will do just fine. My current HP Inkjet just drinks through B&W cartridges very quickly, and those are freaking expensive! If even the B&W laser ones are expensive, I'll have to settle for a separate scanner as that is more important.

    Need a multifunctional printer/scanner

    Have decided to get a basic multifunctional laser printer cum scanner for my home needs. The cost of getting it done outside just isn't viable anymore. Looking for suggestions on something that doesn't have to be very fancy or high-end as I will be using it mostly for scanning and printing...

    CCAvenue Payment Gateway hacked. CEO cries foul

    Now why am I not shocked? Most of the Indian firms are not known for their security or protecting the privacy of their users. But such level of carelessness by a payment gateway where people enter credit card/banking information is just outrageous! Had this been the US, a class action suit would...

    Airtel 3G Announced - Will support speeds upto 21 Mbps!

    A freaking joke as usual. I've stopped expecting anything affordable from Airtel. BSNL seems way better at giving decent prices and good offers these days.
