When the iPad came out last year, I too couldn't see the point of it. Just last month I got my hands on one for a day, and TBH, while it didn't result in a 180 degree turnaround, it did leave a favourable impression as travel computer, perfect for those long, boring journeys between Pune-Goa...

Thank the Gods for XDA!! Because of them, my MiniPro now boasts Gingerbread.

Hi guys, I need some help to choose a connection. Due to a problem with BSNL, my home has been without internet for a while. Since we are desperately lacking for broadband options in Goa, the only choice, it seems, is to go in for one of these portable dongles/modems. I know zilch about...

Hands down Reliance. Never thought I'd say that! I've used Tata, then Tikona and finally Reliance, and the last one is most definitely the best. Tata is way too expensive, and there was always a problem with their switch/router after a power outage. In the 1+ year I was a subscriber, I can't...

Hi. Please check PM...

Mac OS X does not (yet) support AMD HD 6xxx GPUs, as such, you would not be able to boot into the OS at all. There's word of a particular bootloader (Kabyl, I think it is) that supposedly supports them. I'd suggest waiting until they are supported before trying to install. The rest of your rig...

Agreed. Especially mobo's.

Re: sandy bridge CPU/MOBO prices/availability.. Thanks for the heads-up. I always assumed 12.5% was applicable for all electronic items.

Re: sandy bridge CPU/MOBO prices/availability.. Isn't it 12.5%? Hence the ~1k I mentioned. But it would be great if the Deluxe actually came out at that price

The Rs 98 for 2gb plan is the best. I consider myself quite a prolific user, and not once since I've had my Android phone have I ever gone above 400-500 MB. My avg usage is about 200-300mb a month. Call up Airtel CC and ask them to activate it for you. It works on both prepaid and postpaid (I...

Hi.. I want to purchase the NZXT Gamma case locally. I've been to most of the well-known dealers here; most haven't even heard of the brand:( I've been to Karan solutions Mahicomp DCC S.Tech Baba and no luck. I'd buy from ITWares, but shipping is half the cost of the case. Is it sold...

Re: sandy bridge CPU/MOBO prices/availability.. Good news: Cheaper than I expected. Bad news: Add 1.xk VAT to each. Damn!! I'm curious, why not the Deluxe instead of the Pro? It's only marginally more expensive.

Yep. Will upgrade my rig once they do. Hopefully it'll happen sooner rather than later

This is exactly what I have in mind. SB i5 2500K + P67 (considering Asus/MSI). I'm not sure if I'll OC (I have OCd my current cpu), although I'd certainly like to do so, or at least have the option to do so. If the price difference is negligible (~1k), I'd definitely take the 2500K. The...

Yeah. I've been through every review I can find. Wanted an actual user review. Searched most of Pune but no one seems to stock it :( All right guys, thanks very much for your advice. Taking all of it into account, I see 2 options before me.. 1. Wait a few months and get CPU+Mobo+RAM+GPU then...

Nope. Won't be upgrading the entire rig in Feb. It'll happen in steps. Current SB CPU/Mobo rates are way too high, so that's out of the question for now. So it's either a GPU or a 23" monitor. The way I figure, if I buy the monitor first, I won't be able to play much of anything (with my...

Yeah. A new PSU is NOT on the cards.. Upgrade is in the works. Will be moving to Sandy Bridge in a few months, or when prices fall. Current (local) rates are atrocious!! Yep. That's my current config. Been really starved for cash until recently, new pc wasn't high on the list of priorities...

Hi... I'm going to be purchasing a graphics card in the next two days. I have to choose among the following.. Card will be used mostly for gaming at the moment. HD media stuff might factor in a couple of months or so.. 1. TE HIS 6850 deal @11k 2. MSI R6850-PM2D1GD5/OC Radeon HD 6850 1GB...

Hi, I'd like to know if it's safe to use Google Checkout to purchase Android apps? Would like to know others' experiences with it. Does it work with Indian cards? Does it only work with credit cards or will debit cards also work? Any conversion charges levied etc? Thanks, Maestro

Hi, My Reliance connection is shared between 3 computers, 2 laptops and a desktop. The Belkin wifi router is connected to the router and phone provided by Reliance. The problem is equal bandwidth sharing. Any computer downloading any file (thru browser, torrent or p2p) sucks up all the...
