Inside the Macworld Vault: A hidden collection of vintage Macs

Indian telecom operators said they are committed to work with the government on tackling the problem of call drops and are keen to undertake the joint exercise with the Telecom Enforcement, Resource and Monitoring (TERM) cells to address the issue.

"At the outset, we would like to submit that all our member operators are committed to work the DoT (Department of Telecom) and are keen to undertake the joint exercise with the TERM cell to address the issue of the call drops," said the Cellular Operators' Association of India and the Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India in a joint letter to the DoT. A copy of the letter dated July 30 which is available with IANS.

The DoT wrote a letter to the service providers on July 17 asking them to submit report on call drop issue by July 31.

Though the various speedruns, creative exploits, and super-creative challenges (including cooperative runs and blindfold runs) have been fun to watch over the past week, the crux of Summer Games Done Quick really centers on its fundraising efforts. The gaming marathon officially hit its donation goal of one million dollars on its final day of streaming, and ended up reaching a total of $1,232,747.90/Rs 7.88 crore (thanks to 28,474 donations). The average donation sat at just around $43/Rs 2,750, and the largest donation topped $21K/Rs 13.42 lakh—not bad at all.

"You have helped change the world. Keep helping others," continued Games Done Quick on Twitter.

As for the games, it's hard to narrow down to what we'd consider highlights, given that just about every game played during the seven days had something interested about it as a result of the focus on speed (or other crazy challenges).

But if you’re upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8.1, be aware that one feature won’t be available any more in the new version. Microsoft said earlier this year that Windows Media Center was dead, and indeed, there’s no direct replacement for it in Windows 10.

However, those who used to have Media Center will get a free Windows DVD Player app – although if you ever perform a clean install of Windows 10, you’ll lose the free app, and will have to buy it instead. And considering the new app offers only a small subset of Media Center’s features, we wouldn’t be surprised if some users consider it to be more trouble than it’s worth.

Oh, right, the Macalope and others. How silly. What a crazy thing to say and then say again as if to draw further attention to it. The Macalope regrets over-emphasizing the point that this was entirely knowable before the fact.

Disclaimer: He does not actually regret over-emphasizing that point.

Here’s where it takes a turn, though. Because despite what you might have read in the papers, history didn’t end last year. While Apple continues to sell iPhones like they’re whatever the Chinese equivalent of hot cakes is, Xiaomi’s fortunes are not assured, either.
