so late.. First time I had Mag before Preview. today itself I received Mag.. Have not checked it out. will check Later.. But only 10 Fast track.. that is worst thing.. You are supposed to give Last years Fast tracks. not just 10..

And why do you give 10 years Mag who is going to read old news.. Launch,review of Core2duo or Launch of HD.. Seriously?.. Instead you should have given All Fast track that would have been much appreciated

More later when I check mag and all it's contents

 

[Tech&ME]

Please some one clarify Open SUSE 12.1 is the FULL DVD ISO or not ?

 

[clmlbx]

Nope it is live CD precisely.

 

[echoplxx]

And why do you give 10 years Mag who is going to read old news..

We're celebrating technology and the past decade in tech with this issue, its not about old news and announcements, who'd read that right? Rather its a consolidated encyclopedia of everything tech which you'd keep and preserve for many years to come. Its like a quick reference guide to tech personalities, companies, gaming, software, hardware and much more. You wouldn't have read anything quite like this before

 

[clmlbx]

^^ you forgot "quote" end Tag.. 2 years back I was regular subscriber.. From last 2 years I just get 2 issues yearly.. Anniversary and December Issue.. this is not First time You gave 10 years Mag you have given it before too. that is reason I said pls stop that instead Give Fats tracks. Most important thing I am disappointed about is you did not gave Last year Fast tracks..even Last year their was some mistake about Fast tracks (can not recall what but some thing was) But +1 for Adobe Cs5.5 , Short Movies, Ads of decade (nothing seen yet but looks interesting).

Got my pre-book copy today
Good work Team Digit.......

Thanks for FEDORA 16 Live CD. Though you should have added Live DVD instead. But nonetheless 2.5 GB of gaming software with 100+ linux application, you guys are doing great for linux users like myself...

Wish you were giving a search option also with this huge encyclopaedia, so that anyone can find the related tech information more easily other then reading all those old magazines.

I guess google will be much faster and far better option.

 

[avichandana20000]

can any one give the names of fasttracks given?

 

[topgear]

cool cover design of both FT and the mag - the FT is really something new and I liked the topic - also getting previous 10 years of mag is good but it would be great if we can get all the FTs in pdf format as well for archiving purposes as it can save a lots of space.

I'm getting really excited about all the game reviews in SKOAR and 800MB+ short movies 3 full movies, 2.5GB of full games and those live linux distros - these all will keep me busy this month

BTW, it would be great if we can get the DVD contents list on a spreadsheet file

I am subscriber since its birth. Still I have neighter received the magazine of Dec. 2011 nor the intimation about its despatch. Some time back I used to get the magazine on the last day of the previous month. for eg. December issue on 30th of November itself. Now a days, I am getting around 10th. Why this delay and why can not be improved first. You have to satisfy the regular customer and then you can offer to the temporary customers. I hope the editor shall do somthing in this matter.

I do believe the editor commented on this in last month's feedback. You will need to contact customer service with details of a courier service that you would prefer in your area.

is there any way can i get my digit issues tracking id

 

[toofan]

Today went to news stand for buying Digit (just for the PDF versions of Issues from Jan to Nov). Picked it up, found Rs 250 is still too much for me to afford it so after few minutes left with better Photography.
