nice job,looks gr8.
Wait to get this copy.
Wait for the surprise pack

hmm.. fast track to android... good to see..

fantastic Cover Page... and nice contents

Social networking in offices should be strictly prohibited. It just drains the energy of employees. However I think that social networking can be done for good too. Like the ithinkgreen page by digit which is spreading the message of preserving our nature.

^Social networking in offices should be strictly prohibited...

I agree with you on social networking being prohibited at offices, however I think they should be restricted to a level. Games like Farmville and Mafia wars distract employees. To know more on how you can maintain a healthy balance between work and fun use of social networking read our cover story this month..

thanks for the preview

nice cover page...realy liked that !!!

I purchased my copy today. My subscription already expired

even after receiving calls from digit I didn't renewed, as there are no such good schemes. Only Pen drive and portable hdd, which most of us already purchased.

I never thought it would be available to the newsstand today. This edition looks classy and cool. Thanks

I opened my March 2011 package 10 minutes ago and after going through the contents, i must say thank you Team Digit, especially for the Fast Track on Android. :smile:

But, i do have a few queries -
What is the total count of pages of the magazine? Is it 120 pages (the last page being an advertisement of Asia Powercom UPS)? :C_doubt:
The reason i would like to know the above is because there is no mention of date, time & subject of the monthly webinar. :C_surprised:

The quality of the printed text & illustrations (especially the illustrations) of the Fast Track To Android is rather bad.
For example, the illustration on Page 7 (bearing the text "Android let you play around with all functions and features" below it) has got imprinted on the previous page as well. This is the case with majority of the illustrations on succeeding pages. The text & illustrations appear "smudged". :sad:

Does anyone report a similar problem concerning the Fast Track as mine, mentioned above? I was contemplating on requesting the Customer Care to send me another "proper" copy.

One last query, may i kindly know what is "The Young India Fellowship Recommendation Form" for? What purpose does it serve?

Just got the issue.

First thing I did was flip to QnA section.

In the last question about webcam, I clearly remember answering in Software section of the forum. I really wanted to see my name. Why was it edited out?
Expecting a answer..you want thread link?

^ Give me link to the thread.

Yes the total number of pages are 120 in March issue. This time we don't have a webinar.

Not only mine but all questions from GPU Kaput? Have been asked in forum and have been answered by members.
My question is on pg-78.
I am not arguing but saying members deserved as the one answering.

Thread creator and the guys name in the forum with the name mentioned in the mag is same.

Overall, I feel issue is gud. Nice work

Yup, the FT to Android is very good and helpfull

I really like the Web services we used to like- article.

great issue - loved the FT on Android though i don't have a Android phone the FT may come handy someday in future.

The FT theme really looks cool and thanks Zeitgeist III - Moving Forward - great docu film to watch and for Gnack Track - it made my OSS collection even better than ever.

All things I wanted to say have already been said!

+1 for article on social networking and the DIY

I found that the game '18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul' would not install as the error said that the file was corrupt. This is bad.

Even during CT4 install I had to skip 1 file as it was corrupt.

Is there any way that I can purchase March's (2011) Digit's fast track copy (only)? I really regret skipping previous month's digit, just to realise that the last month's fast track was to android.
