Dell laptop warranty
Thursday, July 24th, 2008
I just renewed my Dell laptop’s warranty for a year… It cost me Rs. 7.5k, which is too much; but I couldn’t risk leaving it unsupported considering the hardware problems I’ve faced so far…

$199 for a 3G iPhone… My old phone had cost me more than that. Still waiting for Android, myself.
The continuing laptop saga
Monday, April 14th, 2008
After my last post, there were a few more complications. Unfortunately, no one seems to have an idea about what to do regarding them.
The problem I face is very weird—when starting up the machine, it will always automatically power down within a couple of minutes. This happens even on the BIOS screens, but if by [...]

(I’m a bit rusty right now, haven’t been very active on this blog-front. What follows will probably be sub-par quality…)

FreeAgent

Just bought: a 500Gb Seagate FreeAgent external drive.
Bought it quite cheaply from Nehru Place. I’ve reached that stage where all I do is sit and wonder over how cheap computer hardware keeps getting. I’ll just end up buying more stuff the cheaper it gets, probably.
Seagate has some proprietary backup software, but I’m never gonna [...]
Sennheiser HD 201
Sunday, January 6th, 2008
OK, I spent quite a lot of time looking around today, and finally bought myself a brand new Sennheiser HD 201.
The sound quality is really good, it covers my whole ear so I don’t have to deal with a lot of ambient noise, and it’s light. I think these are the best headphones for my [...]
