So far I've found them to be quite overpriced in Thailand compared to what you can actually get from reputable overseas websites.

Me and some friends ordered several different Android TV Box and Android TV Dongle from geekbuying.com and were never disappointed (free shipping, good support and good selection).

The most recent of these devices are actually pretty powerful and can handle easily HD gaming and 1080p movies for about a hundred bucks.

Furthermore, several of those brands (namely Tronsmart and Minix) are well supported by the developper's community which means that even if the manufacturer gave up the support, you'd still get good updates.

As others have mentionned, there is no such thing as 2.4

If you want to see what are the versions of Android and what each brought, it's pretty well explained in the Wikipedia entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

Upgrading the version of Android requires a ROM specially prepared for said device. Because Android is open source, tinkerers are usually able to prepare their own ROM of the latest Android version to put on their devices but that's not something a beginner can do. What you can do as a beginner is find a ready to use ROM for your device. If you're lucky, the manufacturer actually created an update, or some tinkerer actually made their own version.

The thing is, if the device is very popular (think: a best seller like the Samsung Galaxy S4), you'll find dozens of such ROMs, even prepared with additional features. But if the device is a bit exotic, the chances of finding a ROM for it are really low.

To help you further, we'll need the exact model of your Android TV box.

If you say that it looks a lot like the TOT IP TV, then it could be a device from Minix: http://www.minix.com.hk/Products.htm

This brand is quite well supported and has quite a good reputation... but that's just a wild guess. OP, please tell us more about your TV Box.

Judges OWADA, BENNOUNA and GAJA append a joint declaration to the Judgment of the

Court; Judge CANÇADO TRINDADE appends a separate opinion to the Judgment of the Court;

Judges ad hoc GUILLAUME and COT append declarations to the Judgment of the Court.

If you read these declarations, they give their personal perspective and explain why they agree with the decision of the court.

ICJ got it right... now it's time to follow the umpires decision.

The only thing that makes it right is that the ICJ decided it.

I think the 1962 decision was wrong myself, but the ICJ decided otherwise.

From a topographic point of view, the whole Temple and area is indeed on Thai side... The thing is that Thailand pretty much signed a contract (with France at the time) that said otherwise; and later repeatedly referred to it for about 50 years as a reference for the border definition.

They didn't read the fine print and signed the contract anyway... too bad for them but that's not a valid reason for breaking such a contract.

They should have cut their losses in 1962 and not revived the wound for petty internal political reasons.

Press release from the ICJ website: http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/151/17714.pdf

The Court considers that the territorial scope of the three operative paragraphs is the same: the finding in the first paragraph that “the Temple of Preah Vihear is situated in territory under the sovereignty of Cambodia” must be taken as referring, like the second and third paragraphs, to the whole of the territory of the promontory of Preah Vihear.

The Court finally notes that, in the present proceedings, Thailand has accepted that it has a general and continuing legal obligation to respect the integrity of Cambodian territory, which applies to any disputed territory found by the Court to be under Cambodian sovereignty.

Therefore, the Court does not need to examine the nature, continuing or instantaneous, of the obligation to withdraw contained in the second operative paragraph.

A company I worked for looked desperately for a reliable Internet service provider in Bangkok. After trying many, they came to the conclusion that there isn't.

There are some extremely expensive business dedicated line installation, but this is so overpriced that using your mobile phone to do international calls instead of Skype would still be cheaper than that.

Is it worth it if it has no 3g? Just asking..........

The most likely scenario is that the user already has a smartphone, In that case, he just needs to share the data connection of his phone to his tablet.

In any case, it seems tablet are primarily used at home, where there's wifi.

For me it would be worth it.

Is it really Ikea you're dealing with? Or is it a third party which takes care of the delivery and installation? Because as far as I know, IKEA doesn't deliver or install themselves. It is independent local thai companies taking care of that, which means they might not be handling the reservation process properly.

Netbooks are dead............... ultrabooks are the vogue now.

Comparing Netbooks and Ultrabooks is comparing a Ford Fiesta and a BMW M3... they are absolutely not in the same price range.

What OP is looking for is coming in a few months with Windows 8 Tablets:

Your password is not compromised.

Depending on the options you chose when logging in, the session can remain active for some time even after you close the browser. it doesn't mean that your password is stored and reused.

As I remember, the LastPass app has it's own browser, so basically, when you logged into you gmail from LastPass, it opened the mobile version of the website within LastPass browser. To log out, go at the bottom of the page, there's a button with your email on it. Click it and choose "Sign out".

Otherwise, considering you're using a Desire, I'd recommend you to use the Gmail App (which should already be in your phone). I works way better than the mobile website.

As others said, the Playbook as little chances of being the right option.

It offers nothing better than the competitors, and the Blackberry platform is dying, there is very little developpers working on it.

iPad is a sure choice, although some might find the 10 inch a bit too big and the price a bit too steep (it comes with pretty much every options). I'd wait a few weeks until the Nexus 7 starts to appear in shops in Thailand. Probably won't be $199 like in the US, but it will remain a very interesting price.

In short: depending on your needs, iPad or one of the Android tablets would answer your needs, and have a better chance of a future.

Anecdotal evidence from one person is now qualified as "Official". Interesting.

What's a "Android One" anyway?

If you do a search in this forum there are signal amplifiers you can purchase to boost your 3G/Mobile signal level so it usable for data just do a search of this forum.

I understand what you are saying, but my point was actually, is it true that 45% signal strenght is too low for 3G data connection?

Well, signal strength aren't measured in percentages anyway. The bars you see on your phone are a very inaccurate representation of what's really happening, and for the same signal, different manufacturers will display a different number of bars (for example, this is how Apple once "fixed" the reception problem on their iPhone4 if I remember well, by simply changing the formula used to calculate how many bars are displayed: same reception, but more bars. People were satisfied...).

So what the customer service told you means nothing. What happens is probably that you're at the limit of their coverage and in an area which is not their priority (too few potential customers). Your call will be noted in their customer experience system and will be taken into account when they are expanding their coverage, but unless a lot more customers in your area do the same, you might have to wait quite a while until they start working on it. Improving signal strength and coverage is very costly, because most of the time it requires installing additional infrastructure.

As far as I know, the main issue with having no ground is for your personal safety rather than for your computer data. You often get small electric shock when touching those old desktops in Thai cyber-cafes. Not a good sign.

If you care bout your data, back it up, the best being cloud backup solution. They are quite cheap and easy to setup (see Mozy, Backblaze, ...)

Happy to see they are trying to unclutter the streets.

I sure hope they will send the bill of the removal to the owners of these booths.

For whichever desktop mail client you are using - check a setting similar to "check for new messages every xx minutes"

Your desktop client just may not be polling for new mail as frequently as you like.

This is most likely the answer.

TOT is merely a tube and won't have an influence on the delivery of you emails unless they simply are completely down and cut you out from internet.

Most of smartphones now have a "push" feature where the mail server sends a notification to the phone as soon as an email is received. PC mail clients, however, mostly use "pull" and go check by themselves every X minutes whether there's a new email or not.

bricking a Windows PC

I wish people stopped to use this term for pretty much anything.

"Bricking" means breaking an electronic device beyond repair, making it pretty much as useful as a "brick".

I doubt this Avira bug does more than just requiring you to reinstall windows.

edit: And I agree with Sateev: Microsoft Security Essentials is the best you can get currently (and it's free, but you need to have a genuine version of windows).

In Mahatun Plaza, the "Orange" building right down Ploen Chit BTS. The photo shop is next to the 7-eleven

If you can find a French person who works for a living youre doing better than most.

Go to the French alliance place on Sathorn rd near Aust embassy. Should be somebody there if you knock loud enough and speak French.

Was this an attempt at being funny?

1) various complaints about v9....google how to remove it...not difficult.................. 2) have you tried Appearance>toolbars > tick 'Address Bar' box........good luck.

Skype always had loads of problems, but since Microsoft bought them it has become unusable, for both connecting from Thailand to Europe or even between 2 households in the same EU city, this is what i can report from my own experience, using the free service and not the paid one.

I found a "fix" starting using a (free)program called TeamViewer which give you an option to have a conversation with the other part and it's been great!

As far as I know, there hasn't been anything ore than a financial contract here. Microsoft hasn't yet been involved with anything regarding Skype services and technology (yet).

As I said earlier, chances are the ISPs are targeting Skype data and capping it (after all, many of those ISPs are also phone providers). Your "fix" with teamviewer probably works because it is not yet worth for your ISP to cap it.

Once the communication is established on Skype, it is peer-to-peer between you and your correspondent. There's no routing through Skype servers, so the sluggishness for calls within Thailand is not related with the bad quality of international links.

My guess is that the thai ISPs have QoS tools that limit the bandwidth used for Video Calls on their networks.

Many other smartphone applications work similarly and as well as viber for this:

• Line
  
• Tango
  
• Skype
  
• ...
  

Better check which one your friends are using already

I very highly doubt your lost emails are related to your visit in Thailand.

It doesn't matter which country you log in from, your hotmail mailbox doesn't follow you. It remains at the same location and the path followed by emails sent to it is the same. When you open from Thailand, you merely get served a Web Page depicting what is in the hotmail server (which is probably somewhere in the US).

Think about it like checking your home voice mail machine from work by calling home and dialing your access code.

The only thing that could happen would be a complete inability to access the hotmail website from Thailand (very unlikely as many thai also use hotmail). But then you'll find every emails there once you can connect again.

What's most likely is that hotmail incorrectly flagged your friends email as spam. Check the spam folder they should be there.
