December 31, 2013 at 04:23PM: I need to buy a budget phone at ~Rs 10000-12000 (~$200) and as per availability in India, I’ve got two phones in my list: Samsung S Duos 2 (s7582), and Sony XPeria M. Now, about my requirements. I don’t intend to use apps or games heavily as I’m an iPad (WiFi only) user. The things which I need in the mobile are excessive usage of Whatsapp and BBM and also FaceBook, Twitter and Blogger. I want to download loads of torrents using my phone and so this is one of my priorities… And the last but not the least, I need a strong navigation system as I travel a lot to unknown places and obviously I want it with Google maps. I’ve checked the specs and the Xperia M has a better Krait processor, better battery but as per my requirements, the S Duos 2 has GPS as well as GLONASS for more accuracy where the Xperia M has got only GPS. I would have chosen Lumia 620 and I loved that phone and it has got GPS as well as GLONASS but Windows Phone still doesn’t support Google M...

December 31, 2013 at 02:20AM: I had an old CD from which I copied some files to my PC. While copying, Avast detected a virus named “Win32:Evo-gen [Susp.]“. Okay, but after about half hour I see that MP4 videos on my computer have skull icons on them and when changing the icon’s size the icons change to some danger type cross. I restarted my PC and the icons were gone. Then I ran a full system scan and nothing was found. Should I be afraid of something?

December 31, 2013 at 02:16AM: We first used Hotmail, then switched to Gmail. Now we have a new computer Windows 8 64bit, and want to try Outlook.com email (to us pensioners new to these machines) as it does not look as complicated to use. So we signed up, received email from team all OK and welcome, made it our primary address and set up a GMail alias, thinking GMail received would show up in Outlook, but no – each time we press mail, GMail appears. Why? What are we not doing, and some of the questions asked we have’nt a clue – like POP and SMTP or whatever. Thinking of going back to pen and ink, you know, the one with a feather in the end !!.

December 31, 2013 at 12:22AM: I can’t locate an option to start IE10 by way of a link or icon or any other mode: (a) on the Start Menu and its All Programs list, (b) on the Desktop and its Status bar at the bottom of the screen, (c) or any where else for that matter. Problem is: how do I start IE if I need to? It used to be there a few months ago before I began to extensively use Firefox, and later adopted Chrome. After some thinking I did find a workaround but not the real solution: (a) I start Expression Web, select any file, and click on Preview in IE10 and that page opens in IE10, (b) I go to Internet Options and set IE10 as my default browser. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————– Operating System Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i3 3220 @ 3.30GHz 54 °C Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology RAM 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28) Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
