Summary: PC on Kindle but not Mac ?? Need this on Kindle
Comment: I like this magazine, not great but very good. Would recommend but still wish that we could view Mac World on the iPhone via the Kindle app and/or via
the Kindle by itself. PC World is offered why not Mac World????

Summary: just what I needed
Comment: I just got my first issue and it looks as though this will teach me a lot about my Macbook in language that's not too techy. MacWorld was recommended by a friend and I'll recommend it to others.

Summary: MacWorld Subscription Cover Not Shown
Comment: MacWorld has long been one of the best Macintosh resources in print. I have been a subscriber since the Premier issue in 1984 and continue my subscription to this day. Unfortunately, the magazine has slimmed down considerably through the years and some well respected writers have left over the past year, leaving one to wonder about the future of this otherwise fine publication.
Since this is a brief review of this Macworld "subscription," it is important I point out that the Macworld cover you see in the photo here is NOT what you will receive when you subscribe. That version, with the tiny barcode at the lower right, is the "news stand" edition. The subscriber edition looks much worse due to an enormous white rectangle on the cover, which is used for the inkjetting of subscriber address information. For your reference, I have taken a photo of my recent September 2009 issue, sitting it along side the news stand edition -- find it by going to the Flickr photo site and search using these keywords: Macworld cover compared.
While the cover may not matter so much to some subscribers, I for one greatly dislike what Macworld's editors are willing to sacrifice in order to save a few pennies. They didn't always have such an awful looking cover for subscribers.
Due to the marred subscription cover and rather lean content (versus what it used to be 10 years ago), I can only give Macworld 3/5 stars. And I say this with a heavy heart having subscribed to it for so many years. It is certainly not my intent to turn people away from this publication. Rather, I hope my words will inspire Mac enthusiasts interested in this publication to write Macworld with the aim of making it better. Macworld will only change for the better when readers voice direct feedback the editors.

Summary: Better Sources of Fast Information on Apple & Mac Now Exist
Comment: MACWORLD was one thing when we first got online over a decade ago. Nowadays it has not kept up with the fast pace of the online world. First, when I have a problem with my Mac or with my ipod or iphone, I don't use MACWORLD as a resource. Instead, I go to the Google search engine and slug in the words for my problem. Within seconds, not only do I have the best answers from all over the online world but I also have the solution within the top five hits. Secondly, David Pogue for the NEW YORK TIMES does fabulous videos on high tech issues plus writes wonderful manual for all of my Apple products. I used to watch the MACWORLD videos for help but the people who do them should never do video. They have no humor and are dry as dust. Pogue, by contrast, is a natural at doing videos on the technical world. He is informative while being creative and humorous about technology. I also have an entire page on my iGoogle site which has gadgets for all the major Apple and Mac sites online. They all have instant info on any big news going on for a Mac or Apple products user. MACWORLD, in short, needs a lot of work in order to keep up with the pace of today's online audio and visual world.
