    Tired of youtube ads, can we block them somehow ?

    On my phone I use an Xposed module 'YouTube AdAway by Wanam'. Works perfect. As for desktop, ABP is doing a fine job blocking those ads.

    Car & Bike How is the Mahindra Bolero ?

    Lot of subjective hate for the Bolero. To each his own. @iPwnz if hiring out for private taxi is the main purpose, I suggest you talk to local tourist taxi operators and find out which vehicle is more sought after. It could be the Innova, Bolero or another car entirely like the Logan/Verito.

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    I guess that is exactly what Lucas wanted; Star Wars is and will always be Darth Vader's story.

    Suggest a decent geared Bicycle

    Yeah, all one needs are a couple of Allen keys and a few spanners. A friend's friend did exactly that and is very happy with the purchase. He doesn't buy much online though let alone on Paytm so used up the cash back amount on electricity and phone bills :D.

    Suggest a decent geared Bicycle

    Definitely get a geared bike. Makes your workouts and riding more efficient. I have a MyBike and although I do 20KM jaunts on it, I would really prefer a geared cycle in the long term. Rockrider entry level bike will cost you around 11K fully loaded. If open to the idea, then get it from PayTm...

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    Watched Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the first one) in 1997 in theaters when it was re-released. Next watched Phantom Menace on TV in the early 2000s. Then watched the other two movies from the original trilogy again on TV back to back. Saw Attack of the Clones and finally caught Revenge of...

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 8/10 Caught this in the theaters and am so happy it didn't turn out to be a dud. To be honest, the prequel trilogy that started with Phantom Menace in 1997 had lowered the bar so much that my expectations with this one were very low. In fact, part of the high...

    Air India staff wouldn't allow 19 Students to board US flight

    AI also needs to be commended as in the airline refunded the entire ticket cost and has further assured those individuals that, once these issues are sorted out, they can travel again paying the same cost as earlier with no additional charges. Better being grounded from flying than spending a...

    English TV series discussion

    2nd season is alright when compared to other seasons but there is no way one can skip it as it carries forward the first season plot line. Hands down the best show ever for me along with Breaking Bad!

    English TV series discussion

    Waiting for Fargo to end and will watch the season at one go. Good to know from previous posts that the show as lived up to the fantastic first season. Have got hold of Masters of Sex 3rd season and intend to begin watching that as well. Same holds true for The Knick, which i believe is an...

    Car & Bike How is the Mahindra Bolero ?

    It is more than just sturdy. Can take as much punishment as you can throw at it and still soldier on. Personally know three people who own it. One has run over 250K KM without giving much cause for concern while the other two's mileage figures are well north of 100K KM. Day in and day out it...

    The "Leak" Menace!

    Depending upon what you are comparing it with; a matter of perspective!

    The "Leak" Menace!

    Yes. Especially when Tarantino indulges in it. P. S. - Might I add, swearing and cursing too will now be missing (blanked out) from these movies right? There's another reason.

    The "Leak" Menace!

    The only reason I would get these is because of the censored versions we get to see here in India. Being a Tarantino fan, the first movie of his I got to watch on the big screen was Django Unchained. All well until I saw an uncensored version a couple of years later and I realized how much I...

    Car & Bike How is the Mahindra Bolero ?

    Rural and semi-urban owners might differ with you there. What are you comparing it to at that price point? It all but finished off that other relic - Sumo family.

    What's your web source for national news ?

    Reuters India website does fine for me. Just imagine old DD's English news readers' style but in written format. Very clean and uncluttered too both the mobile and desktop site.

    PC Peripherals Where can I get the TVS-E Mech Keyboard for a cheaper price in Mumbai?

    It was available at around the 1.5K levels a few years back. But I bought mine a year back for 1.8K after an eBay discount coupon. So see if you do get a bargain but if not, go for this KB even at 2K or thereabouts. It really is worth it.

    Why you should quit 'Sugar' & start using Organic Sugar or Organic Honey

    Would like to know that too. Goes by the Madhur brand. We buy the same. However, that sugar is only for beverages. For all homemade sweets, we use Achu Vellam. I don't know how different this is from regular jaggery but the picture in this link shows exactly what we buy. No grocer stalks...

    Losing interest in video games??

    I haven't gamed since I was a teen just out of school. So this thread isn't really about guys like me. When I did game i was frantic about it. But lack of resources meant that I couldn't do much and eventually it tailed off. But when I did have the resources, I found that the gaming boat had...
