waiting 4 my issue....

 

[ratedrsuperstar]

Not the old boring movies maybe a few rated R vis might do it(just kiddin) again cmon guyz u said crysis is the new buzzword and no videos of it yet!

I totally agree with blackpearl u need to step-up bigtime

Also the new Interface Sucks coz i find the info directly i have to click on show more details which is very frustrating.

I wouldn't mind if u print Jenna Jameson or Paris Hilton or Nelly furtado or even Uma Bharti we want better DVD's and CD's the mag is far superior to others

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

no seriously rated-r movies will be a nice step.

I don't get you lot. If there's a hot female model on the cover, people throw us ridiculous flames screaming "porn!!!!"

And now with Abhishek Bachchan on the cover, we have people screaming for females...

*sigh*
</rant>

Keep the females coming, don't listen to any of them*users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/fingers/fing34.gif

I was against Abhisekh because I thought he took money. If he didn't, well and good. But if Abhisekh didn't took money, that makes the price even more outrageous *www.nearlygood.com/smilies/taz.gif

We never pay celebrities to be on our covers. To the best of my limited knowledge, nobody does - being on a magazine cover is enough publicity, apparently. Money, if any, is given to the photographer (if it isn't our photog doing the shoot) for the right to use the image. Of course, we do need to get the permissions from the celeb's agent/PR/manager/whoever.

Now that is not always true. Celebrities like Abhisekh may afford to make free appearance on cover pages. But less popular models and first timers will demand money and in all probability, does get paid.

Ask somebody at your office who is associated with that dept, Digit must be paying those models who appeared in the cover page.

 

[Kiran.dks]

Rs.200? What about Subscribed readers? Should we pay more at the time of delivery or what?

 

[FatBeing]

blackpearl - models, yes. Celebs, no.

kiran - There's no extra charge - it's one of the perks of being a subscriber.

 

[nightcrawler]

Hey the issue is still not out on stands here in Mumbai, I have asked at many places but the response is the same every where,
Stock aab tak aaya nahin hai!!!

 

[FatBeing]

Where in Mumbai?

Fistly FatBeing is a better Admin on this thread than most of his earlier Hall of Famers!! He atleast has some time and inclination to respond to forum members.

The keyword Special that you use ever year with your December Magazine is just a gimmick!! Tell me one reason why it should be called special. Is it because ....

1) It costs 200/- for news-stand buyers
2) Subscriber will get their copy a week ahead of another special
The New Year Special
3) Its got Abhishek Bachchan damn it
4) Its more bulkier than its ever been. Its gotta big ass now

However being a Digit fan still can't help myself and will be looking forward for it. But one thing is for sure.. I am gonna tear off the cover page!! Some members demand females on Cover page, it should be seen in a more positive approach. Our idea is simple and humble, all we want is to promote Technology among Females
Beauty with Brains is one thing while Beauty with Gadgets is our thing.

Got A Faulty DVD

Wow! Digitized advantage! Thanks for the info!

 

[rajivnedungadi]

Positive

- Fast Track on Google
- Digit and Fast Track in PDF
- Good Paper Quality (Digit Only)
- Good New CD/DVD Interface

Negative

- There is a wallpaper of Fedora with a lady standing in front of a mirror absolutely nude, showing off her boobs. Did not expect this from Digit

- No Digit Patron Points
- NO DVD Case
- Bulky Packing
- The Linux CD could have been given as an ISO on the DVD as the distro is not used much
- DVD dedicated to Play Only
- Almost Every Alternate page in the Magazine has an Ad.
- Some Repeated Software on the Discs
- Fast Track on Google is just around 160 Pages

* Not worth Rs.200/-, Rs.150/- would have been fine
* Could have given 2 DVDs instead of 4 CDs with some popular and big Linux Distro on one Disc and Utilities/Tools/PDFs etc on the other and the "Play" DVD is alreadythere.

 

[~Phenom~]

Linux on a separate CD is good , it saved us from burning iso on a CD. Also , I would like to suggest that whenever u give any linux distro as ISO images on DVDs , try to make that DVD bootable from that distro . It will save us to burn thos iso's onto CDs. saving of effort and money.
please consider it.

 

[paul_007]

Rs. 200 Hmmmmm. A large part of it goes to Abhishek

LOL agreed


price is little high...but anyways i will purchase it...cause i am big "DIGIT FAN"

 

[Ramakrishnan]

The dynebolic linux cd did not boot, i.e not working. The cd which contains the Ultimate Boot CD also didn't boot. Is this the experience of others or am I the only one. I am running winxppro 32bit edition 3.00 mhz proc 512mb memory

Oh that was really funny! hahaha

I got one complaint, though: I was really hung up on getting the fast track on google... I thought it would relate to advanced google search tips and tricks etc. But most of it was about the google products :'(
It was still nice, though.

I have yet to read the issue (got it yesternight), though.

@Everyone who gets disappointed with the CDs: I just don't get you people. You buy the mag not the software! This happened in the anniversary issue too. "DIGIT YOU MUST IMPROVE" blah blah blah.... pointless! The discs are not equal to the magazine!

 

[intel_outside]

just joined to say that the anniversary mag issue is not still out on the newstands. why so? someone explain this, please. as its very difficult to wait this long for digit, as i've asked nearly all paperwallas in mumbai and they dont now when its going to come.

why is this delay???????????? plzzzzzzzz explain!

 

[~It_is_Andrew~]

I think price being Rs 200 is a bit too much , 150 would have been better....
I know that subscribers doesnt havta pay extra in this special issue but I didn't renew my subscription after september this year, due to some dissatisfaction over few other occasions where i felt subscribers were being deprived of some things, but would buy digit anyway .......
