From the Editor's Desk

^I wasn't aware that the Magazine could be tracked. But then why would you track it?

 

[SlashDK]

To avoid any more struggle with your lame courier services, I quit. Thank you for not changing it.

PS: If you guys comes up with subscription to iTunes, I will be back as subscriber even if you charge a bit more. Atleast I would get rid of physical copy which never reaches me on time, and when its out for delivery and you call the courier helpdesk the lame aunty says its been delivered. lol

Agreed. SMC is pretty poor. Even I had the same problem with those lame help desk people a few months back. I mailed to digit on 10th and got the reply that SMC had already delivered the mag to me and on the tracking website the info was missing for the past 2 months. I finally got the mag on 20th.

Yes mate. SMC are bunch of lazy people who doesnt even want to tell you the status. When I called thm they usually say its out for delivery and will reach you by today/tomorrow etc. Such a lousy courier service which is being used by the No.1 tech magazine that makes more ooh ohh ouch.

I think @Raaabo should start a separate section in the mag for Macintosh, tips and tricks, apps, install guide, etc....

Since more people are moving to mac platform in India now.

 

[thetechfreak]

Yeah man. Metro Cities do have Apple stores but I feel Apple sells way more ipods and ipads than a Macbook.
Anyways, its your suggestion. I respect it. No fighting.


Here in my city, there arent many people that understand difference between iPod and mp3 player. I say I have a iPod they ask which brand? I say Apple. They go

The penetration of Apple products(other than ipod is poor)

thank you for bringing to my notice problems with the courier... For security reasons don't post your subscription numbers here, and instead please send an email to robert . smith at 9dot9.in and CC sourabha at 9dot9.in with the complaints. Add subscription number and the dates you receive them. We will take them to task.

As for Mac, we do cover Mac content now and then, but based on stats, the penetration of MacOS is still low with our readers. Still, not a bad suggestion, let me see what can be done.

 

[chandra1212]

I'm sure this has been asked infinite number of times...

Why can't you let us subscribe for ONLY the FTs and DVDs every month? It will definitely be beneficial for people who cannot afford the complete package. You can even consider adding an extra CD with some exclusive magazine contents, ads, useful links etc. in an interactive form in the long run.

Increase the pages of skoar or it is better to provide skoar as a suppliment insted of fasttrack.

Thanks Raabo for taking our complaints into consideration. My subscription has been expired but if u want I can still email the details, and if you are ready to take some steps against them I wont mind subscribing to magazine again ONLY if i know ur taking some measures to control the delivery. Else u just lost a reader coz I didnt purchased the current edition and no chance I will do that in future through newsstand coz I am quite frustrated by the responses I received from digit care and lousy courier service.

Hi Raabo,

I've posted a hosting offer on bazaar section almost 10 days back, but it seems it never went public.

Why this is happening to my bazaar posts?

@ICO

are you Raaabo ? or the Editor on Thinkdigit Magazine ??

PS : I know @niceboy has posted his query in the wrong thread.

@ICO

Hello mate. good to see you here

He is not Raabo. Obviously he doesnt work in the Mag . But he is just clarifying Forum rules as that guy didnt know/read/pay attention to the rules of Bazaar section. As most people would probably post and in the end it would become a Advertisement area. I hope you understand what I mean to say.
Many people will join this forum to just post their Web Host service in Bazaar.

No, I'm not.

Sir in the by demand threads it is said to request softwares. This is what posted

Software:*Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET
Download.com, Free Downloads
Encyclopedia - Softpedia

what i want to suggest is that Filehippo.com should also be listed. It is a very secure site. Have never faced spyware etc
Hope you tell the concerned team member.

I'd love to. But only when enough people demand that.

I'm sure this has been asked infinite number of times...

Because this is Digit, we offer Fast Tracks for people who missed the issue, based on popular demand, but you're not going to get a Digit package without Digit!

Hello Raaabo!
I had a suggestion for an article/monthly section/fast track/forum threads:
DIY to bring back Old/Outdated gadgets we have at our home
For eg. PS2(Eg. for DIY, using it as a DivX player, and playing videos off a USB), Old and prev. gen iPods (Touch, Classic), PSPs , Old phones, Old PCs, Old Cabinets (Modding etc.), Useless DVDs/CDs...

Ive seen some articles like these before, in digit and would LOVE to see more like these. I think its a good idea because not all of us like to throw away/recycle our old gadgets! And selling them is quite impractical cuz after using a product for 2-3 years you don't even get 1/4th the amt. of money you payed for it!
And btw the new Website is looking great!

 

[ritvij]

how do i get my review of iPhone 4s published in digit? i have seen reader's reviews get published from time to time.. how do i get this done??
BTW, keep up the good work mate! the mag is fabulous and the dvd contents are very useful! three cheers for digit!
