Hi mates
I recently purchased a Nikon P520 Camera form Snapdeal.com for Rs 20874. It came with a free pouch which is very small and only fits camera. I cant put other accessories. Also i purchased Nikon MH-61 battery charger for removable battery charging
I need a good camera bag which fits Camera, Charger, USB cable etc. Budget is Rs 1000. Sideload or Topload anything will do

Approx. Dimensions of Nikon P520 (Width x Height x Depth)

5.0 in. (125.2 mm) x 3.4 in. (84.1 mm) x 4.0 in. (101.6 mm)

Thanks

I am looking to buy a Wireless router + modem for upto Rs3,000 (can go upto maximum of Rs5,000 if really worth it).
Requirements:
Currently I am using BSNL broadband connection in Bangalore but would require compatibility with other broadband connections, cable connection or USB dongle Wifi sharing too. (Ease of setup would be worth it.)
I am not very familiar with requirements of modem / router in the 3 possibilities: ADSL / cable / USB so guidance will be appreciated.

Hard disk sharing via the router & dual-band router would be useful features to have as multiple devices would be connected to the Wifi but not critical features (Pros/cons would be appreciated again).
Please advise on the alternatives.
I see currently TP LINK W8968, W8961 and Asus N13U B1 are the most talked about alternatives.
Thanks !

Hey
So lately Ive been reading about Bitcoins and its other digital currency counterparts and I got quite interested in it.
Now that Bitcoin mining is quite impossible on Regular PCs, I looked into other ___Coins. Litecoins looks good but I am not sure if its actually profitable. So can anyone help me out and let me know if I should go ahead with Solo Mining on my PC
And if not, can we, members of TDF start Pool-Mining for them?
Thanks, in Advance :3

P.S.:

Update: Ok so It finally Sync-ed after 3-4 hours and now it started Mining. But all it says is that its mining and nothing else.
The Litecoin client is mining 6000 hashes per second. Could that be right? Isnt that a bit too low? Ive heard that the 7660D IGP gives about 100 Hashes per second. Whats going on? :/
HALPPPPPP!

Good alternative to Q800 although 5 inch might be too big for some...

So Xolo has launched the Q1000 which comes with a Quad Core CPU,5 inch screen with 720p res and Android 4.2..

Xolo Q1000 with 5-inch HD display, quad-core processor now available for Rs. 14999

IMO a better alternative to Canvas HD as it comes with 4.2 out of the box and also has scratch resistant display.
