Irresponsible marketing spam emails from indiatimes.com

Nowadays the spammers are more responsible then they ever were, atleast they have the courtesy to add a "unsubscribe" link on which if you click, it takes you to a page confirming your unsubscription, which is honored most of the times.

A big and supposedly responsible group like indiatimes.com sends a marketing email purely as spam and do not have the courtesy to have a "unsubcribe" link which even worst of the spammers have started adding nowadays.

Shame on you indiatimes.com ! Folowing is a sample email i received from them:

Best online radio for Hindi Bollywood songs

After a lot of search finally I have settled for this online Radio which does not have Ads, noisy Rjs or any other "noise". It has a bunch of options like, a channel for New bollywood hindi songs (Meethi mirchi), a channel for old bollywood hindi songs (Purani Jeans), a channel for non-filmi hindi songs (Mirchi Edge), a channel for Discotheque themed hindi songs (Club Mirchi), recently also added a channel for English romantic songs (Radio Romance), and a channel for Pop english songs (Cassette classics).

Runs 24/7, online, no ads, no Rjs, just pure music and a very good collection of songs in pretty much every channel, it actually does sound too good to be true, until you listen for yourself : http://www.gaana.com/radio

Youtube videos getting stuck, my feedback to Google on it.

Recently I;v noticed that a feature has been added to Youtube vidoes, that prevents a paused video from loading fully in background. I understand this was added to save bandwidth and that is good.

But after this feature was added, the video keeps getting stuck and i'm not able to watch videos on Youtube anymore.

Usually if a video stats with default 720p load, first thing i do is to change it to 240p or 144p sometimes, to make it load faster and save on bandwidth. But the video just stops loading and gets stuck .. for good. Even changing back setting to higher pixel doesnt help.

So basically my suggestion is, please see that this preventing of full load feature is revoked, until fully tested.

Because i'm not able to watch videos anymore and thinking about what other video sites have good collection.

Thanks a lot for hearing me out.

The Simpsons, Tapped out reset game to level 1, support problem - Resolution

   The Simpsons themed smart phone game called Tapped out is very popular. But recently when I was on Level 26, I found that the game has been reset to level 1. Quite obviously I was quite pi**ed off at this glitch, since it meant a month or so of my effort I have put in this game has been reset and is wasted..

   Fortunately I found the solution to return back to my original level 26. The real problem is *Not* that the game has been reset to level 1, as it appears on the surface. The *real* problem is that I was logged out of the game (which was probably because the auto login had expired). There was a message which said, "You are playing anonymously" - which kind of hints at the problem, but instead it should be saying "Please relogin into the game since you are logged out"

    So the solution is to login again. After logging in again I recovered my level 26 and continued from there on ...
