    PC Peripherals Mouse: Laser or Cordless-Optical?

    mmm... I use a Mac :p There won't be iBall drivers for OS X, most certainly, but iBall does list OS X as a supported OS, so I guess the inbuilt drivers will suffice. I'll have to check whether MS releases Intellipoint drivers for OS X. Edit- MS does release Intellipoint drivers for OS X :)...

    PC Peripherals Mouse: Laser or Cordless-Optical?

    Hey, even I had opened the mouse when the scroll wheel died :P I guess I'll call the iBall distributor(Best IT) and get it delivered today/tomorrow(I know him) :)

    PC Peripherals Mouse: Laser or Cordless-Optical?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll go in for the iBall laser precise. I'm not a gamer at all(Unless you consider Tetris :p). The only issue with optical mice was that I've had a couple in a year, and both have had problems with my table. Though I'd like to say that I have another iBall...

    PC Peripherals Mouse: Laser or Cordless-Optical?

    Hey guys. I've been using this basic Logitech Optical Mouse for an eternity. It's starting to age and the pointer goes haywire every now and then(only at the 'smooth' parts of my table). I've tried another mouse(bad scroll wheel) and it works perfectly on my desk. So, it's the mouse, indeed...

    Election Commission opens window to free software

    Source- FinancialExpress.com I think that figure of 100 is wrong. Unless they mean 100 computers in each sub-division in West Bengal. Also, they haven't mentioned whether the Election Commission HQ in New Delhi would move to Open Office or not. That would mean quite a lot of computers. And we...

    Apple Previews OS X 10.5 Leopard

    The features were cool. Ofcourse, they didn't reveal most of the features. They didn't want the photocopiers at Redmond to start too soon :P Time Machine was cool. Spaces, a feature borrowed from Linux, was cool too. I just hope they modify Konqueror to use it as the new Finder. They did it...

    Running Mac Apps on XP ?

    The emulator is PearPC. However it is very slow and it won't run even iTunes properly. I had tried installing Panther on PearPC about an year back. Tiger would be a bit faster but Logic would be impossible to run on it. Next option is.. erm.. ummm... Tiger on x86 hardware. But, unless your...

    Pacenet Cheating?

    Pacenet WAS the problem. I contacted the customer care ONE more time and it worked! Now I am getting 30 kb/s with both IDs. I think they cap connections on an individual basis. @Systemic Anamoly- Forget OS X for a moment. When you use the same OS(windows), same net connection, same plan...

    Pacenet Cheating?

    I haven't installed any linux distro but OS X is Unix-based itself. And even in OS X, max speed that I get with a download manager is 20..

    Pacenet Cheating?

    I said I got 30k+ using the Pacenet dialer on Windows. And I got 20k using the default PPPOE dialer on WINDOWS. I think it was clear from the post And I've already pinged the router.. there is no packet loss. Thanks anyways :)

    Pacenet Cheating?

    Yes I tried that. But, it seems Pacenet have updated their dialer. The password generated thru the C program no longer works Edit2- I called up their customer care who didn't understand what I was talking about. When I access internet through both the IDs on the SAME computer, SAME OS, how will...

    Pacenet Cheating?

    I'm currently using Pacenet on Mac OS X. I've been given the linux id to connect through mac. But, the difference in speed is huge when I connect thru the pacenet dialer. For example, on Windows, i downloaded MSN Messenger from Microsoft's servers and got 30 kb/s constant while connecting from...

    Camino 1.0.1 Released

    Not any major change.. but it is minimal and starts up faster than any other browser. Another problem with Camino and FF on Mac is that they don't display Hindi fonts properly. As I visit quite a few Hindi sites, I prefer Safari. I feel Omniweb is a bit heavy. Do try out Shiira. It is...

    Dvorak Speculates that Apple is going to dump development of Mac!

    LOL.. But Apple dropping OS X? With Steve Jobs in there? Do u even know Apple has evolved out of NEXT, the pet project of Jobs when he wasn't in Apple(1985-1997)?. Gil Amelio(The then CEO) approached many people, including Bill Gates for a new OS. Finally, he brought back Steve to the company...
