MacAddict to become Mac|Life

“One of the most well-known and prolific magazines in the Mac world, MacAddict, is slated to be completely re-vamped according to a recent Craigslist posting for an Editor-in-Chief. Not only will the magazine go through a complete design facelift, it will also have a new mission and ‘voice.’ Finally, good ol’ MacAddict will be shedding its name from the olden days and adopting the new moniker of ‘Mac|Life,'” Jacqui Cheng reports for Ars Technica.

  1. I agree with the “Save the Trees” group. I ‘d like to see better and more professional internet content. To have a computer and no internet access is becoming very rare.

    There was a time when I almost lived at the Borders magazine rack, now I can’t remember the last time I was there; it’s been many years.

    Unfortunately, creating an internet “magazine” is far too easy and this results in a lack of quality content or editing. When a magazine had to be committed to publishing, great care was taken, now on a web page, editing, knowledge and talent have become trivial. For example, MDN merely regurgitates whatever his Safari’s RSS has dug up and then he makes a childish comment about it. But, apparently, the MDN mentality thrives here, the same lame crowd that buys $5 coffee at StarBuck’s and cries at $3/gal gasoline as they jog out of the station with a $1 pint of water, that’s $8/gal… for TAP WATER!

    America – where the greedy minority rape the gullible lemming masses.

  2. Did you have to eat the $20? I’d have sued the b**tards in small-claims court, if only to have the documents sent to them that would have that jerk who called you a liar fired. Sounds like whoever ran that joint also ran AOL.

    MacWorld did that to me, too. Then when I bought a new machine that included a free subscription, I received two issues, and nothing I could do would start the delivery again. MacWorld can stuff itself where the sun don’t shine.

    Mac Addict is crap. It’s been made over once and a scapegoat tossed overboard, so if it has to be made over again, it’s still losing subscribers and money. I’ll give it six months to a year. It can’t fight back any more than newspapers can. Check into the L.A. Times for the most recent mass slaughter.

    Print is dead.
