All in all, a nice review and thx for the tips on restaurants on ECR. Yes, Autodrivers can rip you off in Chennai - Mumbai (Bombay if you prefer) is definitely better in that regard. But think of the fact that you have the option of stepping out of the house and into a vehicle for taking you a read more...

I forgot to mention this in my earlier comment.... Don't be impressed by lack of delete and 1 GB. It makes perfect financial sense for Google to keep your mail for a loooong time and not delete it. Go to Amazon.com and see how they use purchasing history to send a customer mails tailored to tha read more...

Keerti, Anuj - thx for ur comments. Bhaskar - neat review. I have seen the features with free email starting with Yahoo/Hotmail 7-8 yrs back. There was POP with Yahoo but when people bypassed the site, Yahoo clamped down (for good reasons), put a price on POP and I went to using Hotmail. T read more...

I was fortunate enough to be around to know the history of it. It all started with a group of folks on rec.sport.cricket getting together and presenting commentary on IRC in the early nineties (I did a few when I was in Tempe, AZ) which actually morphed into a Website (A prof. named K S Rao at NDSU read more...

I am surprised that Cockington Green was left out in your review. Going up the Telstra tower is not exactly an interesting thing like a trip up the Empire State Building but it is worth a trip. The other tourist thing in Canberra is the architecture of the different embassies and houses of ambas read more...

My recommendation for anyone who wants to see the Kangaroos and Koalas is the Koala Park in West Pennant Hills just outside Sydney. Take an all day ferry ticket, start from Circular Quay ('pronounced Qi) and use it to go to all places. That is one of the best ways (besides the excellent train read more...

Couldn't agree with you more. Had a chance to go to Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane this Indian summer and I will agree that Melbourne is by far the best city I have been to. I liked San Diego for greenery and coastline and London which has the historical tinge. But Melbourne is really wo read more...

It is amazing that the review written 3 yrs. old is still valid to this day. That is because the review was written with factors for a customer rather than the underlying technology. The reference to costs is till very valid because: 1. Indians don't buy in big volumes. Selling in volumes red read more...

Title Describes my feedback! Few more items to consider: Don't buy a laptop in India. If you are a traveller, buy it in Thailand or US. It will save you atleast 25-30% and there will be no duties. Also, go for a Gateway if you want just the hardware and can load up on software elsewhere. Del read more...
