    71-90K [Budget 50k-1L] Need a programming laptop with FHD display

    I need a new programming laptop. I have a broad budget as I'm not sure if what I need can be obtained in a lower price, though I'm willing to spend up to 1L on it if needed. The laptop will run Linux and will be used exclusively for programming and browsing. No gaming, really. Lots of...

    Broadband modem buying help

    I have the same router at my parents' place since a year. There it works as a modem+router. Downloaded many torrents there and it's been smooth sailing. I haven't checked whether it's v3 or v4, though. Probably a v3 since it was bought last year.

    Broadband modem buying help

    Don't have time to do thorough tests, but it's been working fine with torrent downloads over the past 2 weeks. No freezing or hanging as you say. I get all of my 4mbps connection's download speed. I'm using it in a sort of weird way though... I'm using it only as a wifi router with a...

    Broadband modem buying help

    I ordered a w8968 a couple weeks ago from Amazon. The seller was 'SUPER DEALS 24X7' and the one I received was v4. It's been working fine for me so far. (It's been working fine for my parents as well since I bought it for them last year)

    Android Request/Offer: OnePlus 2 Invites

    I registered on the 'global' site it seems. But my rank is the same on both India and global pages for my email address.

    Android Request/Offer: OnePlus 2 Invites

    I'm inclining to agree... I was hyped for this and I thought come 11th Aug, invites would roll out in batches of thousands or ten thousands. If there are similar spec'd phones in the same price range that come up before I get an invite, I'm just gonna go with those.

    OnePlus 2 with 5.5-inch 1080p display announced, available in India August 11

    Maybe I'm out of touch with the current industry benchmarks, but is this not an insane offering for this price? I have registered for an invite... I am ~110,000 out of ~550,000 in the queue! This is gonna be my next phone! Finally, an upgrade for my faithful, but now gasping and dying Galaxy S3.

    Logitech to rebrand as 'Logi', dropping 'tech' from its name

    I guess there must have been many weeks of huge meetings with lots of analysis and over-analysis to come up with this new name. Still sounds weird.

    Not sure if I'm missing something, but didn't he mention in the narrative that he reprogrammed his mind to see and hear 'Evil Corp' whenever that big company's name came up?

    Hathway Broadband plans expansion to take on ACT Fibernet, Has it improved from earlier?

    I've also been on Hathway for the past 4 months (Delhi). It's been pretty good. I did have a few issues in between because of issues in my locality, but complaints are always resolved within a day max. I'm on an unlimited 2MBps day / 4MBps night plan. Would like to try out their high capacity...

    Wayward Pines is still holding strong. Getting even more interesting now. I don't know what to believe after the latest episode. Really messing with the viewer's mind.

    Airtel's mystery code raises privacy concerns

    I'd say so. I was always using the Google DNS, right from the beginning. (Not sure if DNS would really play a part in something like this?) I'm not on MTNL any more though... I switched to Hathway after I shifted.

    Airtel's mystery code raises privacy concerns

    MTNL broadband also injects stuff into web pages... pretty arrogantly in fact. They usually show a popup ad about some MTNL offer. It's pretty annoying and often also steals focus from the main web page, so you really have to move your hand to the mouse and then close the popup.

    Hannibal first ep was pretty thought invoking (and of course, brutal). I liked it :)
