Preview and Feedback [October 2012]

Looks good.

Wow! great issue.

will try out sleeping dogs for sure

Interesting for sure!

"Interesting for sure! "
Yeah really great issue.. I found it very useful for the beginners..
I was seeking for web designing tutorials....
I liked the way you compiled the issue...
I am very eager to unfold the suspense..

Impressive Issue.Recently saw the DVD List.Thanks for Backtrack5,PHP Video,HTML5 Video and Little Thanks for Movie Effect.Why Little Thanks??? Well I expect that u guys give us Video Effect Video and Software for some open source software like Blender but u provide videos for Premium paid software..(not so bad)
We cannot practice on Trial Software due to Trial Limitation.Now We have to search for Crack for these Videos Software,also I dont think there are only two windows software for Video Editing in Market,at least u can add 4,5 windows video editing software and some open source software also...Missing Window8 Enterprise Trial Edition.Can u include it in November Issue???
And thanks for Ubuntu Studio.

Of course there is plenty of free software available for Video editing and other tutorials, but it made more sense to provide the software we provided tutorials for on the DVD itself. Space was at a premium last month and we just barely managed to squeeze in all that content. Including some extra software would have meant dropping some tutorials and with the tips and tricks also tying in with the DVD content, it made for a more complete package.

Also, why do you need to crack all that software? Haven't you heard of student programs? Adobe, Autodesk and even Microsoft have excellent deals for students. You can even apply for youth/student cards (IYTC I believe, not sure though) and get Windows 7 for example, at about Rs.1000 or less.

Glad you liked the rest of the content.

This last question is for everyone here....

Why do you guys actually want the Windows 8 enterprise edition. We've been getting requests for it in our mail as well as on the forum, but to what end?

How is it so different from Windows 8 CP and RP, etc., that we've provided earlier? I don't mean technical differences, I mean more in terms of what you, as a subscriber of Digit, would want to do with it. If all you want is a taste of Windows 8, the earlier previews are more than sufficient.

I read somewhere that window8 cp is 5,6month older than enterprise edition,thats why I request to you.I think u can give in Collectors

It is older, but what I'm asking is if there is any relevant difference. The enterprise edition is meant for enterprise/corporate users after all.

Putting it in the collector's issue would mean 3GB of content for something we might have already given before, instead of something that might be more relevant.

I'm sorry digit,
I saw the content for the main page already a few days ago, But I want to say how many of us are really always in a mood for shopping, I'm not The people who want to shop they click and buy, Its not that the Online Shopping has just emerged in this country right now!! But it has been since past 5 years or so, When I made my first purchase online, Now who the freak does not know what, when how to deal with online stuff/people!!
Why should we have a book on e-commerce?

Regarding DVDs
PHP, HTML5, JavaScript, Adobe Premiere, Dreamweaver, and many other you gave already are more than one year old! From the same youtube uploader BuckyRoberts, I have already seen majority of his videos

Instead you could also have given many more if you just wanted to fill these DVDs yaar!... I dont know about the quality yet!
Instead there are 3DSMax, UDK, .NET also under 200 vids each you could have filled these too

Magazine: Entirely filled up with Products + Marketing
DVDs Can be easily watched online stream just one channel thenewboston on youtube, Now who don't have an Internet these days...
+ Softwares downloadable.. Many more I have seriously forgot the smell of fresh new pages of Digit opened I used to do in the past... >.<

I liked the Alpha and Omega DVD very much .. and we can always demand for some more tutorials and will get those as well .. there's less than 2 months in-between .. Dec 2012 will be also a special one? right and about the cover of the mag .. the digit logo looks very cool

looking forward to getting hands on with it

Despite of the fact that no one replied to my query here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/feedback/123086-editors-desk-15.html#post1747564, I purchased October edition successfully while the scheme lasted.

Now waiting to get my hands on it! Looks interesting.

You'll be surprised at how many people don't have internet access. And don't be silly, of course we can't please everyone and I'm sure there are many of you for whom the entire contents of the DVD and/or magazine are irrelevant, but there are many many more for whom it is relevant.

If you (dead.night7) have learned so much on your own then good for you. Now instead of complaining why not join in and help us help others? We're always on the lookout for new interns/writers/freelancers and you're very welcome to lend a hand.

Content looks good. Will get it as soon as it arrives in my city

The magazine and dvd contents in DIGIT are always good for those who doesn't have good internet connection. For those who have good internet connection most of the contents are always useless. I have good internet connection, so much of the stuffs are useless and the price tag of Rs. 200 is too high.

Most of the middle class Indians don't realise that internet Penetration is very low in India... even among those who have internet most does not have high speed internet ...

Yeah Right bro.We have Internet,but very slow.Its better to buy dvd than downloading.In India,I think only 5% to 8% people have only faster Internet connection.Streaming to dur ki baat,mere browser me Teji se webpage khulne lage wahi badi baat hogi.

I also have PHP, HTML5, javascript Videos. I was expecting other videos. Instead there are 3DSMax, UDK, .NET also under 200 vids each you could have filled these too . I was not thinking to remove those videos but if you removed trial stuffs like adobe dreamweaver and added other Open source stuff then that would be more likely exciting ...

Finally bought the mag. Impressed this time. The articles look good. The DVD‘s look worth checking out..The FT‘s are also on good topic IMO. More feedback soon

demo of sleeping dogs ?

Dear Sir,

Your magazine have long been making technology easy for the masses who are always left wondering if it was always so easy to begin with after reading it. Evolving the Indian techie who is never truly free and at the same time changing the past generation's outlook towards technology, there's always something new to discover in a Digit magazine. I have never felt sorry for buying a copy off the new-stands back from 2003 and I'll stay on with you guys, one among the many thousands of Techgurus and Techgyannis your magazine have created. With Digit, there is always a clever way of hiding bad Ads. in between good pages and good Ads. in between bad pages. I personally adore that trait of yours "Active promotion (of the good) and Passive Shunting (of the bad)". It's such minor quirks that make Digit all the more endearing, from it's humble beginnings all those years ago. Many have came to challenge my relationship with Digit and all have failed for they were all passing fancies in an ocean of desire for more Tech Gyann. Like Telephone always following a Tarmac, A community of intelligent and empowered citizens sharing the wealth of knowledge to all those in need always follows where a Digit is. I salute all those who toil behind the scene to make this dream a reality for their work transformers the lives of millions of people like no other media can (that's tech power). And by millions, I mean everybody from those getting their first taste of the Digit pie to full-time addicts. I have been to both ends of the spectrum from having nothing but drooling over the photos in Digit to owning 30+ Gadgets, thoroughly enjoying the ride with my faithful companion, Digit. I can shamelessly admit that Digit is to blame for such high levels of technology penetration in our nation, beginning it's divine duties from the days of Floppy discs. Live on and never die for you're the daily bread and butter of many tech addicts and avid enthusiasts from all over the world.

Yours,
Nirmal George.
Kottayam.


PS: Recently I have tried out ordering your books online and came up sad - >> I had ordered the digit magazine (October 2012) online on 28th September and got the tracking ID for Bluedart™ courier services (Reference No : N004565). Till date (10-09-12) I hadn't received my copy. I find it difficult to visit Bluedart™ office which is 40minutes away from my home, but my copy is "Held At Destination". Is this expected or has there been a change of policy at Digit regarding delivery of online orders? (A few months ago I had ordered the Anniversary edition and received it at my doorstep). This regrettable situation could have been averted and we expected that you guys give more priority to getting the magazine quickly in our hands, rather than let us wait.

I know that digit is amazing....but in october month's issue i could not install the game demos...please help ....My Pc also don't let me install windows 8 RP on it....It says that this PC's CPU is not comaptible with it....But my pc has-

Processor-Dual Core 2.5 ghz
Graphics- Nvidia Ge Force 210,Direct X 10
RAM- 2GB (32-bit)
Hard Disk-80 GB

Please Help..

The installation instructions for the game are present on the DVD itself. You need to follow them to install the game.

Are you trying to install a 64-bit version of Windows from within a 32-bit version? if you are, then you won't be able to install Windows 8 that way. Head over to *www.thinkdigit.com/Software/Windows-8-installation-guide_10083.html
and follow the instructions that you would need.

Read the subscription page carefully. The music mania offer is an 18-month subscription where you pay the full cover price and get a set of earphones free. Supposedly worth Rs.1500.

The other money saver packages are 1 year and 3 year packages where you get a cash discount on the cover price where you pay 20% less than the cover price.

@Digit Team

What about giving CTC like 2-3 puzzles in the magazine itself every month and feature the winners in the magazine too ( there can free gifts like next month issue free or something like that ) . It would be hit and viable replacement for the old small contests that have been removed from magazine.

What do you say Digit Team?

I liked this issue. especially the 'Extraa DVD'
Keep providing TEDEd videos and game demos.

must commend you guys for this month's issue..thanks for the cds as well...overall very satisfying...ps:- when did you guys move your office to govandi from rk studios?
