Got it. But I have to say, you're on BUYING SPREE :hyper:

* Whats that book about? And whats so special in it?
* Whats the use of a sim card reader? :-o



Hows the performance of your pen drive? If you can post its benchmark (real world read and write test) pls ?


not actually on a spree, but am a 'moderately heavy' online shopper, since i find it better to shop online rather than venture out and get bludgeoned on the streets & markets of mumbai :oops:, so every now & then you would find me here for stuff i ordered sometime back, and it arrives while am posting news about my latest purchase, and hence have got masala for the next post :)

and sujay this is the 2nd time you've reminded me something....feedback :grin: thanks !

1. well, the book is about weight-training, nutrition & mental make-up/attitude, and is a must-have for weight-trainees/athletes, particularly in combo with this book, by the same author....sorry i didnt mention it earlier but had got this book too alongwith the 1st one shown :

its a great amalgam of arnold's encylopaedia & its wealth of info, and almost old-school kind of training concepts of bill starr/mark rippetoe !

2. the sim-card reader is great for backing-up your contacts onto your PC. its a boon for me....i dont have to now worry about writing all those numbers in my contacts-diary now for emergency use lest the phone goes bad :)

3. the read/write speeds of the flash voyager are as follows :

plugged into USB 3.0 port :

Read - 39.40 MB/s
Write - 10.98 MB/s

plugged into USB 2.0 port :

Read - 11.2 MB/s
Write - 10.78 MB/s


4. @ sarath - the bungee is a simple thing....the only feedback for it would be that it does the job for which it was designed. holds the mouse-cord well, without tangling; doesnt get toppled or shaken with mouse movements, thanks to its heavy base. overall a nice accessory to have.

showtime now....gift, all the way from canada....

its a blu-ray movie (rather, work of art) named 'life cycles'....on bicyles....but regardless of whether you like cycling or not, or even you have never ridden a bicycle, this movie is a MUST-WATCH......shot in super-HD, with extremely scintillating and well-suiting soundtracks by ajay bhattacharya and others, this is purely a work of subtle art, the movie and narration having almost mystical tone. short, only ~1 hr, it will leave you wanting for more at the end. you'll definitely love it when you watch. do give it a try. you'll thank me later ;-)

damage - ~1.7k
available in DVD & Blu-ray formats. can only be bought directly from the makers' site; not available in india/stores.

here, can have a look at the trailer and other things.

thanks bajaj151 :)

and congrats to - tenida, debashish, nightmare (& his bro ;-) ), sumon, akshay

@tenida - that controller looks superb ! and the blower, am afraid to say isnt of much use. i have one, bought for the same purpose of cleaning keyboard/small stuff, but found it not very effective. and again, constantly pumping that thing after a while feels tiring ;-) i reverted to using my shaving-brush for cleaning keyboard, and things with small spaces/corners :grin:. yeah but the blower might come handy in some situations.

and what are the books about ?! sorry, me knows no bengali (only father knows) :grin:.....and yes, Ma looks so lively and divinely beautiful on that cover. the artist has done a superb job !

@ nightmare - sorry, am noob'er' than noob when it comes to mobiles. but i still can appreciate that gorgeous looking galaxy :)

@ sumon - so you finally settled on the Z68. great ! hearty congrats :grin: !

@ akshay - have you received it or just placed order now ?! dont forget the pics for us ;-)

see you guys for now then....heading to lamington road now ;-)

"moderately heavy" ?? :hyper: :lol:

You're most wc :)

2. the sim-card reader is great for backing-up your contacts onto your PC. its a boon for me....i dont have to now worry about writing all those numbers in my contacts-diary now for emergency use lest the phone goes bad :)

But AFAIK sim has max memory for 250 contacts (64k sim, exception being BSNL sim having 500 contacts memory), and these days, i guess everybody has more contacts than 250. Plus why not back up contacts from phone? Its pretty easy.

3. the read/write speeds of the flash voyager are as follows :

plugged into USB 3.0 port :

Write - 10.98 MB/s

Aren't speeds a bit low? I mean corsair Voyager drives are performance drives, so more speed is expected, especially write sppeds in USB 3.0 and read speeds in USB 2.0 ? correct me if i am wrong.

Yes, this is what he said:

When asked for FSP Saga II: Sorry, we dont have XSB!!
When asked for Corsair VX 450: We dont keep local stuff!!!!!

I: OK, what do you have?
HE: CM Extreme, Elite and GX series... :))

Bought a pack of Verbatim DVD+R DL with 10 discs @ 399/- from flipkart. So strange, no local shops sell cheap enough DL-DVDs..... :x

@ Rs.40/- per disc I think I should be happy. :-?
