[Preview + Feedback] Digit February 2008

[alsiladka]

I read the February edition of Digit in our college library today.
I was appalled at the quality of the paper and the print. At first i though that this maybe a pirated copy, then i though whether it is some kind of Eco friendly paper used by Digit.

I was really dissapointed at the printed images, which were nowhere near the quality digit used to have before.

But like true Digitism, my query was answered by Digit itself. In the reader mail in the last few pages, i read in one of the mails from a reader about the takeover of Jasubhai Media and everything fell into place.

A really cheap cost cutting method by the new publishers. You cannot have descent image prints on such a kind of paper.

Mine DVD is not working
Last time I got non working DVD on dec 2007. Sent an e-mail to
help@jasubhai.com. Got one auto generated e-mail. After that not a single e-mail. Very bad customer support for news stand buyers like us.

Every time I saw that Anant Replicated dvd's cause a lot of problems. But Sony is OK.

The DVD goes haywire at times and stops responding for hours. The GTA 4 trailer gives an error(in spite of presence of codecs) as do certain other files. The magazine contents are for KG kids, as are the Fast Track Contents. To sum it all up, we're going (or have already gone) "back to square one". I'd like to suggest something to the Team Digit: We are digit readers, the elite of the 1337s. So, has our batch graduated? Certainly not, we need SOMETHING for 1337s too for God's sake! As a final note, earlier, people asked Skoar!(and were replied to with insulting mail) to learn something from Digit, but today, I advice Digit to learn something from Skoar! The best damn mag in the universe!

Avast! antivirus doesn't detect anything, but thanks for the warning anyway!

Apart from that April DVD Massacre, I think this is the greatest flaw ever in the DVDs and CDs. Say, has ANYone managed to get a good, WORKING, fully operational DVD yet?

[ax3]

WHOT ???

digit ppl , plz do clarify ..... should v popin the dvd .......

Only a few noteworthy articles. Guys, the Settling Differences article on Linux vs. Windows security is really good.

Overall, the quality has seriously decreased compared to what it was a while ago. Appalled at the print and paper quality as well.

I didn't like the editorial either I used to love Deepak's eds.

Cover Babe was sizzling though

Hey Anuj there is no such problem with my Digit Mag or FasT Track. Maybe you got the one from a different printing batch.

Apart from that The Steal This Movie 2 is not playing, get an I/O Error while copying on the hard disk. What to do? Is that movie any better?

To be honest as somebody here voiced it already Digit is becoming more of a Newbie Mag and that Tech Stuff is Gone.
As for Linux part, What is this? An overview of Linux Directory Structure.
I dont know how many of us(i mean new users) will learn anything new there.
There are errors galore in this issue, like the rating of Team Fortress 2.
All in all, a slight improvement with all reviews, over the last 3-4 issues.

BTW, Linux For You was once again superb( I confess I didnt understood all its articles ) and to top it all it provided a Live Sabayon Pro 1.1 DVD and it looks beautifull. Now if someone tell me how to setup my Dataone connection in it(in the Live Mode)bcoz i get command not found error for pppoe-setup.

Brought it yesterday and found nothing worth reading either in magazine or in FASTTrack.
The number of pages seem to be reduced.There quality has become bad.
Opened the case of Disks and the quality of disks also seemed to have degraded. DVD not working at all.

So my advice.
Don't waste Rs.125 to buy this crap

[Riteshonline]

By the way, when is the By demand April 2008 thread going to open? I've already prepared my wishlist. Last month they hurried it up and told us to post before the 5th February. Is there going to be a Digit in April at all? I'm getting MAD out here!!!
