    Fraudulent "service" subscription / activation discussion | | Airtel, Vodafone, Docomo, BSNL...

    I had a similar problem due to Hutch which is now Vodafone when they kept deducting daily from my prepaid. I rang up the local manager and said I want their wrong corrected immediately. He said correction could be applied only the next day, and so it ended with n-1 days rectified. Before this...

    Which team does anyone HATE? ROFL. According to me, any team can be hated only for cheating and such unsportive things on the pitch.

    Unexpected shutdown...twice

    There are socket adapters available in the market for that at a less than Rs.50 or Rs.100 kind of price. Any local Electrical & Hardware store will usually keep a stock of them. More so now-a-days because these things are very prevalent. Best would be to show the exact plug head to the seller as...

    Unexpected shutdown...twice

    Wall->Surge protector ->UPS->PSU is the normal thing. Wall->UPS->Surge protector->PSU is not recommended, and highly advised against due to considerations of load tolerance/rating and the possible effects in case its load maxes out due to too many devices plugged into the surge protector which...

    Unexpected shutdown...twice

    And so ends this thread? It looks like a PSU issue. When you say the power-on switch on the cabinet doesn't respond, it seems like you boot directly from the PSU without touching those switches once again. That is one of the flags for PSU issues. In some cases, clearing the CMOS is required...

In the 'oven' section I'm resting my legs :D (the furniture store guy made the table with it...

    Aakash Tablet Commercial Booking Started

    Looks like yes. Let's say, the reviews have just mentioned some problems with the device which are actually common: heat up, double taking to get icons active, customer support number doesn't work, lower quality under the hood, etc. That gets things quite dicey, not totally killing yet...

    Need suggestion for DSLR

    Tripod is a must. Most people end up using rocks, parapet walls, stacks of books, bent friends and what not before they have the extra ordinary epiphany that a tripod solves their problem and they could have been wiser before. Buy a good enough one which stays stable and keeps the camera set...

    Understanding camera settings...

    There are more 'types' of cameras, based on the size of the film/sensor, usage and the kind of technology/mechanism used in their making, etc. Mostly 6x7, 6x4.5, etc are in centimeters of dimension of the sides of the film. The cameras are good actually but the films are most likely rare...
