^i did not find anything wrong except the imate phone.besides why is digit doin this every year,with the same devices used

also would like to point out the magazine is turning out excellent

but digit is cheating us by giving us tons of videos in some CVID video codec and PCM audio.wtf

being a tech magazine i expect them to use a standard h.264 and nero aac codec.besides despite most of u guyz having a HD camcorder the videos seemed so pathetic,which i think were shot from a non-HD source.

plzzz utilize the space in the dvd like u've done for the other videos(which i loved )

@ax3: 1080p HD clips look awesome but then not everyone can play 1080p content. That's the reason we carried both. Thank you for your video suggestions.

@ratedrsuperstar: The videos should run fine on most media players. Try VLC Player if the others are giving you trouble.

What about the linux distros before 4 to 5 months Digit magazine came with full DVD content on the fedora like that if it possible on the UBUNTU,SABAYON to be in the DVD content .

[cause my friend is new digit magazine reader he has no broadband connection so downloading is not possible , it would be gr8 if we get full DVD content of UBUNTU & other distros ]

BTW , new looks & the style in the magazine is really gr8 .

thank u ..

I'm running all those videos on DVD with KMplayer & they are running just fine without a single hitch

@Raaabo ... may issue is good ... bt fastrack seems 2 b ok ... my small suggestion is >> instead of unpacking vids, y not show "how 2 install or partition or re-partition OS" ... it may b Linux or Xp or Vista ... Many ppl might like that ... including me ... coz v make small mistakes while doing so ... & y waste space with HD trailers with 2 diff resolution of same movie ...

Yes the un packaging videos are just waste, U can provide "How to use those Items" and we would see how they actually perform.

And the informative videos suggested by AX3.

^....Unboxing or Unpacking videos are not wate stuff. They will satisfy the people who can't buying that costly stuff but still have a heart to know much about that thing and to see know how it looks. You may say that they can see the pictures over internet of that thing. But watching a video seems good. That's what i felt when watching unboxing of UFO in last month. That is why thousands of people are watching unboxing videos on youtube... of their favourate games, consoles and pc parts.... But if you are concerned about the space it is taking. Then telling them to compress would be a good suggestion.

Don't you think that by seeing unboxing its better to see how they really work.

Why has the article on "Hobbies online" ended abruptly.

 

[shaunak]

* The DSLR reveiw was nice but you guys forgot one important point. The canon 1000D has 7 AF (auto focus) points as compared to the D60's very basic 3 point system. [Infact I dont recall any mention of AF points in the entire article.]
You could have also touched on the fact that each of these cameras are available for nearly 3/4th the prices in the Grey Market.

* The article on 6th sense [alternate input] was very nice.

Go to the home page. Contents posted.

June 2009: As per the description on the Home Page, for 50 bucks more you are just getting a few extra pages in Digit and an extra fast track called as Jumbo Fast Track.

Just the 2 regular DVDs with the package. Chip has done better again in the month of June

 

[toofan]

June 2009 is the 8th Anniversary of Digit and it brings along a month-long Carnival and a magazine that is so packed with content, it bends space and time. This Best Issue EverTM is more than 180 pages thick and brimming with articles, including the most comprehensive smartphone test, a look at future cars, an exploration of tech in superbikes, superstring theory, and a look at life without Google (yes, it's possible). The Anniversary package also contains an 80-page Jumbo Fast track which will help you choose the right career within the IT industry. Also included is an Interactive Magazine which will help you earn a supplemental income using your PC and the power of the internet. The June 2009 issue also contains another Fast Track — making it the first month ever to offer a total of two; dedicated to Mobile Apps — whether you are a Symbian, Windows Mobile, Palm, iPhone, or Java-based phone owner, this Fast Track will help you find the right software.

And don't forget our regular two dual-layer DVDs packed with software, games, and movies! Plus we have a month of online and onground activities which will extend our Anniversary celebration across the entire month of June.

There are two fast tracks this month.
