Why is this in the "security" section on CNET?

OMG...now I won't be able to get my copy at the newstand because geeks will scoop up every issue of this final edition and hoard until 2090 hoping it will increase a dollar or two in value...

PC Magazine had become little more than an index of what's on it's web site, so it's not surprising.

Sure, I still have PC Mag issues from 10 years ago. It helped me to always up to date.
That opened me chances for improving my profession, the way I work and in some cases the way I think.
The great advertisement is definitively one of the things I can remember as a lesson for my current business. Even the ads should inform!
Now... I hope they will improve significantly their Web site. It is the opposite of what I like from the magazine.

By the way, PC Magazine's print version is increasingly obsolete when you consider the popularity of hardware review sites like Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, Sharky Extreme, HardOCP, and several others. I can get reviews of new hardware a lot faster than waiting for the next "dead tree" version of PC Magazine.
