yeah is there any way to recharge it online or from some other site ?

going to mtnl exchange and recharging it every time is really a pain !

if mtnl can recharge their voice minutes online then why not data ?!

The first three puffs feels like cigarette but after that hardly any vapours comes out. Now i am going to buy from vapours.in which is in delhi. Can you tell me about this product. Is it worth buying ?

New Airtel Broadband Plans with Better Fair Usage Policy Limits?

I did get alerted by email for the 30GB Fair Usage Policy limit but I am still getting 2mbps. I downloaded test files everyday and just a few hours back I crossed 75 GB download and 5 GB upload. The speed is still 2mbps.

It has happened only this month.

I have no idea about MTNL's uptime. RCom's uptime is simply excellent, in fact even better than airtel (at least in my case). You can use a WiFi router no matter what ISP you choose. Buy one (preferably Wireless-N WiFi router) from the market instead of buying it from these ISPs.

Movies Now HD???

All the aired movies were already seen in past. After running a month long frustrations, I decided to deactivate movies now and go with only Start movie HD, HBO, Pix.....

My experience: All movies on all movie channels are movies I have already seen.

That's because I see most of the movies the moment they hit the marquee :D :D

1st gen anaglyph 3d tvs are 120hz so they provide 60hz pictures to each eye (red cyan technology). The underlying technology ie panel type, led backlighting, 3d implementation is more important.

Latest gen ones use shutter glasses (like the technology in PVR) and have a much result. But are quite expensive. 3d tvs arnt matured enough and hence most models factor in bleeding edge tax.

I think autostereoscopic tvs which produce the 3d effect without glasses like the Nintendo 3ds handheld will be available next year.
