OK. Grabbed my copy yesterday

A little Errata : The Pic for win 7 printed on DVD is for professional x86 editon but inside the DVD it's enterprise edition as written in here.

About Articles : Only got time to read the gadgets under Rs. 500 and it was quiet good - got to know something new like that ultra cheap gaming mouse pad, FM car transmitter, usb fan, Multi USB kit, usb adapter and trhe price of that cool looking foldable KB. BTW, my elder brother is thinking of get one f this 3 fan cheap netbook cooler for his lappy by seeing this article

What is ur problem if it does survey on DTH services, why did u not protest when it did survey on IPTV or broadband, they are also a type of service.

What is ur problem if it compares DVD players, why did u not protest when it compared Multimedia Players.

And about the buying guide in every issue, remember the magazine is not published only for u, a lot more people read it and may be a few of them are waiting for that particular review. Yes, it comes handy, if not me, not u, someone else.

If u ask me, I would anyday trust Digit's comparison on even electric razors than any other product magazines

I haven't said that product reviews or surveys about other services are bad.
The main complain is that Digit is giving too much preference to these, especially products. I would always welcome articles about various aspects of technology, like DTH services. But Digit is giving less importance to informative articles and tutorials, because of the increasing number of product reviews.

We are not demanding 'Computer Only' stuff. Since Digit is a technology magazine, everything related to technology should be covered. Our main demand is that Digit should not be focused only on reviews of products and services. Instead, there should be articles on inner aspects and working mechanisms of various technologies. Hope you got it.

hi,
this is regarding your killer rig section. Here you have given the price of logitech z5500 as Rs.14,000/-, even on logitech India site they show it at 27,995. where can i get it at 14000/-.

intel core 2 quad 2.66, asus p5p43td, 4GB ddr3, zotac 9800gt.

I think the Linux Mint 8 ISO is corrupted. I tried installing it using LiveCD and LiveUSB, in both the method I get Error 5[Input/Output Error] saying sumthing like the media is corrupted. Please try to check the MD5 integrity before providing such ISO's further.

Let's try my luck in Fedora 12 KDE LiveCD ISO that you provided.

A million thanks for the Harvard and Yale University video series.

I am following the Game Theory and Computer Science 50 series for last 3 months, the teachers and teaching method is amazing. I might never be able to go to Harvard but at least I know what the experience is like, all thanks to you guys. Please keep these coming, do not discontinue these for any reason

And a suggestion, or question may be, you are providing the lectures from Fall 2007 while both 2008 and 2009 versions are available at http://www.cs50.tv. Why so?

Thank you so much "Admirer of Digit". The prices mentioned were the EXACT prices we got at Lamington Road. But then again LR is known for having perhaps the lowest prices in the country for tech products. Btw nice name ! Now we have an Admirer of Digit. There's another forum member by the name of "DigitCritic". Curious your join dates are only a day apart

absthebest · 20-01-2010, 12:49 AM

btw, just came to know that you can get a preview Digit at http://issuu.com/thinkdigit/docs/digit_jan_10

phuchungbhutia · 24-01-2010, 12:10 PM

Linux mint didnt work , it gave initramfs error no live system, so i tried ubuntu 9.10. But that too gave same prob, so i tried changing the options doing f4 and f6, chose safe mode and all the options in f6. I am able to see the installation going on now. I need to know if there will be any prob later , any other way to install please let me know.

Revolution · 25-01-2010, 05:00 AM

I have installed Windows 7 but it shows 10 days left instead 90 days.....

Why ?

**topgear** · 25-01-2010, 06:33 AM

^^ that's strange. Ive just burned the image on a dvd yesterday - but got confused by seeing this whether I should install it or not.

BTW, did you used any trial/eval serial during installation ??
