Whats going on? Now Amazon has joined the club of companies with misleading advertisments. Complain to FTC and others. Got email from Amazon: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have new information about your order and need to hear from you before...

Sorry-Details: This is a Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander. Programmersparadise's site is down. But this is a gaming accessory to be used with games. However, its just another ergonomic device thats why you can use it any way you want. The profiles are accessible with button so tons...

Get this from Programmer's Paradise free after MIR-3/31 is last date to order. The buttons all can be programmed to use it with MS office (or any othe program) to copy, paste etc. Create maros and record with Record button on side. It has three profiles meaning you can record numerous macros...

More on 9278.com 9278.com (and most others) operate same way ethnic travel agents work. They do block booking of minutes in advance from Worldcom/Qwest and others. This way they get lowest rate and they pass it to customers with little margin but lot of volume. My experience: -I bought card...

Calling cards- I have tried 9278.com-they use Worldcom/Qwest so quality was excellent-in fact best so far. Cities are cheaper but rest of India still at 32 cents is not bad. It was 1+3 minutes (rounding at 1 min., each call must be at least 3 mins. or something like that).

lanb- Answer is yes but...VSNL/TRAI still say that ISP 'may' need a licence for VOIP-perhaps after paying hefty fees. So babushahi survives. BTW VSNL monopoly on International calls is definitely ending on April 1st.

Update: 1. net2phone usb handset comes with $10 card-but calls to India are costly at approx. 50 cents. 2. I tried this phone this morning works good-bit echo though-sometime u have to wait until other person finish-even though I have duplex USB handset. Lets wait what April brings for...

At Hotfoon. This is PC 2 Phone. From April 1st this can come down to 2-3 cents as they open up Internet Telephony. Cons: 1. Even if line is busy-you are charged 1 minute as connection time is for connecting to gateway. 2. Selected cities for now. Will drastcally change after April...

As someone else mentioned, hardly a hot deal due to four (4) reasons: 1. Air-India sucks-big time, last time my parents went they were delayed 8 hours while staff went home who live in Queens. No one provided anything-not even coffee, no one was there to answer any questions! 2. The fare you...

Guys, back to deal (or not a deal!!). Do u have to buy $300 worth to get deal? Alternatively any Indian VCD seller on line (in US/Canada)? Which service is best for online Indian DVD rentals? Thanks for behaving!

For Renting (Indian movies of course) who is the best/least expensive? No rental place near by for me. I tried someone in CA but always popular DVDs were out. Same for Netflix-as people start sharing one account and return DVDs after long time. Wish broadband delivery would be in place. I...

One more thing, its a misconception to think that Priority Mail will be faster than First class mail. Its workt only if you go over 2 lbs. So not worth for letters etc. I have seen people stuffing 2-3 page letter in priority mail thinking it would go faster-it would not! You end up paying...

Now you can print Expressmail lables too. Priority mail free confirmation still gets "what is this?" and "You have to pay for this!" some times. Wish we could print other stuff too-like Return Receipt and Certified mail etc. online. But.... Any one knows free/cheap label printer which can...

Important Info! Just called 1-888-458-4239-the phone number on form. Talked to Dianne. Not much help but got following from her: As per her, they never check who did you buy it from. All they check is dates and model number! --end-- Also AT and T do not activate your phone if bought from...

Its 8X4X32X8 Better than $60 DVD drives? Linkified Samsung makes good DVD drives-not sure about CDRW drives though!
