Ability to view Hindi comics .cbr and pdf files in browser

Ability to view Hindi comics .cbr and pdf files : I have many Hindi comic books in .cbr and .pdf file format , and there many online(http://www.google.com/images?q=hindi+comics). Is there a way that they can be quickly converted to graphicly format in google chrome webstore and made available for as many folks, to view, as possible via browser (with no download necessary, of pdf or cbr) ? 
For ex: goto http://downloads4allu.blogspot.com/2009/07/hindi-comics.html and click "Download" to download a pdf.

California EDD site enhancements

Please forward to California EDD web-cert department the following suggestions for enhancing the California EDD website :

• Please provide ability to have direct deposit (into online bank account) of California EDD biweekly claim checks.Currently I can receive biweekly claim checks only by paper checks, which is inconvenient
• Please provide ability to have alerts or email notifications sent to me, when I need to submit online claim form at EDD web-cert (ie claim is ready-to-file), or when a check has been sent out etc. Currently, there are no alerts, and one has to keep logging into the site numeous times to check on status.
• Please provide link between original EDD application for benefits(apply4UI) and the EDD web-cert for biweekly submissions of claim forms. Currently, I had to create new login and password for EDD web-cert for biweekly submissions of claim forms after filing at apply4UI. Also after doing apply4UI, there is no online way of checking for application status, and one has to spend hours and hours on phone with EDD, which is inconvenient. 
• Please provide link between original EDD application for benefits (eApply4UI) and the EDD web-cert, currently, the two are completely independent, and when one submits for benefits (eApply4UI), then there is not much info at EDD web-cert website on the details and profile created for checking of follow-on status. Also, one needs to create two different accounts : one for original EDD application for benefits (eApply4UI) and another for the EDD web-cert, with different passwords, ie after filling out eApply4UI, one needs to create new login and password for EDD web-cert, which is inconvenient. The more information that is available online, the less time the claimant needs to try to call up EDD on phone, for hours. 
• Currently, there is no visibility into the process for a new person and person can have questions like : "how come the first check received has only one week of benefits instead of two weeks ?" The letter should provide the explanation that this was a "waiting week" etc, instead of user trying to call up EDD on phone, for hours. Also, there should be a way for claimant to flag to EDD, online, via web-cert that the person has found a job and will not be requesting more claim checks, etc

Online portal for companies and new hires, to manage new hire Offer letters and new hire process

Please foward to corporate headquarters:


Online portal for companies and new hires, to manage complete new hire Offer process, letters etc, is needed : from interviews, to offer letters and acceptance, to getting an employee number, setting up W4, I9, direct deposit etc, in an online portal (instead of many back-and-forth email and documents.) Currently, my friend got a new job offer letter with a company, and he got some 10 pdf files in email that he needed to edit with his information (like Offer acceptance, W4 withholding info, I9, direct deposit info, date-of-birth/social sec info, etc). And he had to spend almost a day to recreate a pdf that had the completed information (since he had to convert the pdf file to Word document , then images, then type in the info into the images, re-create Word document and since he could not email those back because of size limitation, generate a pdf file etc, from various internet resources that do file conversion) And he was not expert in those things. It would have been much simpler if the company had offered an online website where he could securely fill out that info, and hit "Submit" and it would have taken at most half hour.


Can your company provide such a solution ? It will be a huge productivity enhancer.


Also, for background check, instead of user manually filling in the "employment history"and "education history" , it will be great if user can simply upload their resume(in Word doc), and your service can automatically fill in the "employment history"and "education history" from the uploaded resume. That way, user does not need to spend lot of time to fill in the information manually, and it should take only a minute for the user to fill in the "employment history"and "education history".


Thanks, Avinash

Also, more and more folks are digitizing their books/photos, old videos etc, and storing those online, so if you can provide the scanning/upload/internet s service etc, that will help.

But in order to change the movie, etc, I have to go to my laptop, go to another site using the laptop mouse, etc, and then watch that movie, which is tedious. So if Logitech can come up with USB-based remote control etc for a laptop, that will be great, so one can sit comfortably on the sofa, and using the remote control, browse on the laptop's browser (I am using google chrome browser) with ease.

Sipgate.com enhancements needed:

Please forward to Sipgate corporate headquarters:

aa) Please provide a browser-based VOIP application (not desktop softphone) and also Google chrome browser extension, instead of a download application. I am interested in buying Google Chrome OS netbook computer. Also downloaded-applications take too much of my computer memory/resources and I have to download the application to my different computers, which is tedious. Instead, I would like to use VOIP from the web directly, and preferably bookmark the VOIP application on browser and access from ANY computer.

ab) Please provide Android app, so I can access from Android phone

ac) When I receive incoming call on sipgate, on windows Vista, then there is no Popup saying "Accept call" or "decline call". All I get is a notification saying incoming call. This is inconvenient. Please fix this. For example, yahoo messenger voice-in provides Popup saying "Accept call" or "decline call".

Please forward to corporate headquarters:

DHL, Fedex, UPS, USPS etc: Using internet communications (email, instant message, phone) to successfully deliver parcels to recipient at first delivery attempt

By collecting the email address and phone number of the parcel recipient, at the point at which the parcel is being shipped by the sender, your shipping company can co-ordinate via email and phone, with the recipient, as to the recipient's availability, and can co-ordinate routine and recipient can ensure that he will be at home to receive the parcel when it arrives. This will ensure that at the first delivery attempt itself, the recipient will receive the parcel, and save time, fuel and money for the shipping company and the parcel recipient.

A lot of times when I come home, I see, at the apartment complex door, stickers for undelivered parcels since the recipient was not home, and notices for 2nd, 3rd delivery attempt etc. Arranging for redelivery, for the recipient, is very tedious.

Click-to-call from Internet/netbook/iphone or other smartphone: enhancements

Click to call, from computer/netbook/iphone : enhancements:
Please forward to corporate headquarters:
Please enhance Click 2 call so that:
a) Click-to-call should provide productivity over phone calls for menu navigation: If I go to site like bankofamerica.com, and press Click 2 call, I should see, listed on my netbook/iphone screen, the different menu options, like "Press 1 for banking", "Press 2 for credit card", "Press 3 for mortgage", etc. Since this can be minutes of time wasted waiting on the phone listening to the menu options, such push-button menu choices will save huge time, if Click2call is done from netbook/smartphone, etc. Also, the time savings are even more, when a selection from a choice menu, leads to new menus, for example "If I press mortgate", then new menu options would be "Press 1 for new mortgage","Press 2 for existing mortgage", etc.
b) Click-to-call should take the callback phone number (and other information like name, email , etc) saved in my google chrome/facebook profile, and not keep asking me for this information or a callback phone number every time one presses Click2call. In fact, there should be no need for a callback phone number, as Click-to-call should connect directly from the computer/netbook/iphone that has been used to make the call request. Similarly, On smartphone, like iphone, etc, If someone would like to book a flight or taxi using iphone, or even open a new bank account, then they should not have to enter their home address/email address etc when voice chatting with customer service representative; the customer service representative on other side should be able to read-in automatically suggested address/email address , etc from my click2call client.
c) If I use Click-to-call for someone frequently, like a pizza store etc, to order a specific item or set of items mostly, then Click-2-call should remember those menu choices etc and automatically make those orders for me. "When you order with Click-to-call automatic ordering and online choice selection, you never have to hear that impatient, irritated tone of a teen-ager taking your order who doesn't understand the specials and just wants to be somewhere else, talking with anyone else but you. And the constant ringing of the phones in the background."
d) LivePerson online chat should include voice chat, besides text chat: I logged into Bank of America and was doing LivePerson chat with banking specialist, and wrote in text about my credit card request, and explained in detail, they then asked me to call up separate 1-800 number for credit card. So this is painful process, and timeconsuming. Please have LivePerson to accept voice calls using LivePerson, besides text chat. Then Bank of America should be able to transfer my voice call to appropriate department, online, without customer having to worry about calling another 1-800 number for a different department.
Here is chat transcript:
You: yes, I wanted to do transaction X on my credit card
Bank of America : I will be happy to assist you!
You: I wanted to do transaction X on my credit card
Bank of America:  This needs to be done by department Z Please give us a call at 800.XXX.YYYY
e) Not needing to re-verify customer, and authentication : Right now, when we call up a customer service representation(CSR) using the click2call after logging in to their online account, then the CSR has to re-verify all the information about the customer, especially if the click2call happens after the customer has logged in. This is a big time-waste for CSR and also the customer. for example, if I call up HSBC bank after logging in to my online HSBC account, I should not have to reverify all my personal information with HSBC CSR ; they should know that I have already been authenticated and should be able to get on with the task at hand
f) After logging in at say above online bank account etc, click2call should provide me ability to leave a secure voicemail also (besides options to call up CSR , etc) : that way, as customer, I should be able to leave voice instructions on what is needed. This helps avoid the waiting process when the bank has to locate a CSR to answer me and I am put on hold. Leaving voicemail, I can simply leave instructions knowing that they will be answered. 
g) When I call up Bank of America using the Click2call, after logging onto  Bank of America account, it asks me, before connection to enter my name, phone number etc. These should be auto-saved so I dont have to re-enter this info again and again. Also preferably, Click2call should pick up these fields like name, phone number, etc from my online Bank of America account.

Audio/video content sites to take full advantage of PC or smartphone memory and resources

a) Audio/video content sites to take full advantage of PC or smartphone memory and resources. Right now, my internet connection is DSL but low-speed (150kbps in Kuwait), so playing fully streaming songs/videos from internet, causes gaps in loading content. Since the music/video that I am playing from your site is the same, can you enhance your technology so as to be able to store any song after it is played once in my PC/smartphone, so it can be re-used later again, and this will also put less strain on your application servers. Something of the order of Google gears/native code might be needed here.
b) Ability needed to be able to surf a video/audio content site, without having to open up a new browser page : Currently, when I am watching an online video/audio at your site and want to look for more video/audio content at that site, I have to open up a new browser page, since if I attempt to surf the site on the same browser page, then another page loads that has the search results and the video/audio stream terminates. But website like www.playlist.com has provided a cool feature that allows one to be listening to music etc and if the user intends to surf the site, then even though new pages will open up, but the music player remains as it is and does not terminate the currently playing content.

c) Login to hulu etc can be made simple through "Google connect" or "Facebook connect" , so one does not have to create yet-another userid/password, they can simply use their Google account. Google shows how this can be done: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/cutting-back-on-your-long-list-of.html

California libraries can help foster education for everyone, and also cut costs in following way. Currently, people order books using inter-library loans , which costs resources in terms of gas, transportation, manpower, etc. But by digitizing all library books, libraries can not only cut costs for themselves and taxpayers, but also help boost education efforts.

Thanks, Avinash
