After trying various methods found online esp changing Wifi from g to b , which i did not want and changing some wifi settings and packet sizes. It did not resolve.

What i found worked for me was using a simple Proxy on my PC and connecting my Iphone to internet using that proxy. Everything seemed to work fine through the proxy ( but i have to keep my PC on ). Youtube plays without buffering, apps install within a few seconds and surfing is really fast.

The proxy i used was free proxy .

Thought might help someone since other techniques online did not resolve the issue for me.

BTW launchcast plays well on my Ipod touch in India , while it does not on normal PC due to ip restriction .

So today when I went to the Same Place i bought it from the chaps there directed me to the apple Service Center at another location ( 9 kms from Nehru place) and on reaching there i was informed that the Apple Support Guys were telling Lies. There is no such concept of instant hand to hand replacement and I was asked to leave my ipod and wait for upto 15 Days. Now i m waiting to have my brand new Ipod back …

Some things i think u should know –

• Not one Apple representative Apologized for the Faulty product i was sold
• Even for a brand new product ( Not even a day old ) one is required to go through service
• Apple India is not Apple ( its ‘desi’ Indian Version which works like ‘desi’ companies )
• Not the experience i expected,I wasted a lot of time and effort just to buy one Ipod which i still do not have

I had high hopes and was kind of excited about owning my first Apple product . But I was utterly disappointed, frustrated and saddened by state of things. Also as i mentioned , it was an urgent requirement for some software that i am delivering and my work has suffered coz of bad product , apparently new?? and pathetic service.

Their competitor on the other hand atleast Microsoft gives me Free Onsite Wonder full support and service.

UPDATE : I had got a replacement after 5 days.

VideoInput Library homepage

How to use webcam/tv tuner/capture cards in VC++ to capture video and take pictures –

1. Create simple Dialog based MFC project.

2. In the dialog make a Picture control and a Button , Picture control will Display the Video stream and the button will be used to capture a snapshot.Change Picture control to type Bitmap and attach a CStatic variable to it.

3. Now we will use a simple timer ( WM_TIMER ) to update the image being captured there are better way but this should do for a tutorial. In OnInitDialog() set the timer to refresh at say 10 times a second,

SetTimer(NULL,100,NULL)

4. Include the video videoInput.h header file. Also add the videoinput.lib in the linker input and for ignore library atlthunk.lib ( if it causes errors ).

5. Initialize the device using VideoInput API .

// in header
int device,width,height,size;
videoInput VI;
unsigned char * captureBuffer;

captureBuffer = new unsigned char[size]; // our capturebuffer

6. Now lets capture video and display frame in the OnTimer

if(VI.isFrameNew(device))
{
VI.getPixels(device,captureBuffer, false, true);
DisplayImage(&m_webcam,height,width,captureBuffer);
}

7. There is also example of how to capture image using libjpeg, please download the source and check it out.

Here is my little solution , Basically pack the script and make it as a one line of code which can be added to the html editor –

Go to the following link paste your JavaScript code and embed the Wordpress embed in your wordpress …

But more than the Initial Cost the Electricity Bill(running cost) associated with the AC is what actually hurts. So recently I had to make the same decision in buying a second AC. I already own a Hitachi Window AC. Here are some points that I found out and a little JavaScript calculator which I wrote which helped make up my mind -

Try to go for Split AC , they are much quieter and more efficient though come at a higher Initial Cost. The Hitachi window I have makes me feel like sleeping next to a running vehicle !!!

The Total ownership cost difference over 5 Star rated and 3 Star Rated AC over a course of 5 years is almost same usually. But 5 star rated AC’s are about 20 % more expensive than 3 Star ones when buying the AC ( but this 20 % is paid back over 5 years in most cases). You can check using the calculator below.

More expensive does not mean itll recover its cost in Electricity Bill as some companies state. Do the calculations yourself and you will see.

Avoid the Cheapest ones out there, there is a reason they are cheap !

Most big terms like AntiBacterial filters, Night mode,Ion Purifiers etc are nothing but terms to attract you. You should just look at appropriate cooling capacity and running costs. As most of us just Switch them on and forget about them.

Here is a small calculator I wrote based on a Thread from TechEnclave which will help you check running cost of an AC and the total ownerships cost over a period, use the calculator below to decide if the AC is worth the extra money or which one is better -

So i was asked by a few clients to do the same, Here is the theory behind it if you want to build your own.
