Mea Culpa. They were a part of the Alpha DVD last month. FreeBSD 9.0 and Backbox 2.01 (A penetration testing distro based on Ubuntu) are included in this months Omega DVD.

getting excited about the Digit Videos from CES 2012/Tech Fest 2012 and FT on Networking Everything ;-)

What are the demo games available in this dvd,i'm looking for bf3,mw3 and ac revelation demos

^^ just look at the bottom part of the first post - the last two lines are links to the DVD contents ;-)

This month also no Modern Warfare 3,Battlefield demo?Can anyone tell me in which month they will give these?

I don't believe either of those games even have a demo version.

MW3 and BF3 don't have any demo version for pc

Those CES videos on DVD are wonderful. And for the first time, I m reading FastTrack(more than half done) before magazine........This month's FT is the best, because I needed it the most.........

Thanks for the fast track to networking.
It helped me get plaudits from one cx and colleagues as I was able to connect the cx's android smartphone to his router wirelessly which our tech dept. failed to do. :mrgreen:

Thank u very much for giving such good articles related to tech.

If I am correct ,That will be only available in June 2012 (Anniversary Edition) with pdf upto December 2011. :razz:

Digit never provides Digit pdf untill & unless they are 6 months old (and almost out of date :-(

but somewhat useful & collectable).... its their market strategy otherwise who will buy their previous editions..... :wink:

Last month even though they miss leaded us (but didn't apologized but called it unintentional :shock:

) .. I was damn sure they are not going to provide latest pdfs.

If it was unintentional then why they don't provide pdfs in Jan or Feb edition (whatever the case may be, But is was their fault) as apology .. :razz:

I think their intention is clear... never provide pdfs in any edition untill the price is Rs 250 ... :mrgreen:

Hey I would like to know all the HTML5 resources included in this digit!!

Oh my God! Digit's innermost secrets out on the forum. All our devious strategies down the drain.

Oh come on... if its seems joke to you... prove me wrong. :-x

Digit is never going to give latest pdfs. When it does with so-called "all pdfs of 10 years" it's only upto 6 month old and with a price tag of Rs 250. I don't understand why Digit provides all 10 years old pdfs repeatedly but not only pdfs of latest 12 or 6 months. :evil:

If Digit really listen its readers. I have one simple suggestion :
With each edition please provide 3 pdfs from 6 month old upto 3 months old as Chip Magazine does. It will not affect "your previous issues selling" and will be for more useful for us. you can additionally provide FastTrack pdfs in your Anniversary Editions... :razz:

All we ever do is listen, and yes, we pay more attention to criticism than any other publication. We're the first to admit our mistakes, and the first to apologise for them.

As for misleading ads, the forum post was an error, not a "tactic". I explained why we gave "10 years of Digit PDFs" which was advertised on the packaging of the physical product, which people bought, the forum post is what was wrong, and again, apologies for that...

This is from the December feedback thread. For any further clarifications regarding the "10 years of pdfs" I suggest you go through that thread again.

A joke? I'm not mocking anything. I just found your post interesting and reacted to it. I'm sorry if it offended your sensibilities. :-(

All feedback is valuable and we will definitely take your suggestion into consideration.

Cheatsheets with HTML5 Guidebook was impressive
still exploring....

Does that mean i have to wait till december? :cry:

wish there were more small(silly?) games too
and forum offline is great

know much more about vaibhav_ now :mrgreen:

Hey guys.. I just wanna inquire about the CES HDTV footage u digit guys were gonna give on your DVD.. Umm.. You even mentioned the thing in the magazine itself.. But, i cant find it anywhere on the DVD...

PS- Sorry for reviving an old post..

I don't have the DVDs with me, but the manifest in the first post lists it in the Omega DVD's specials section. It's also mentioned on the face of that DVD...
