For those of you who have the December issue of Macworld (the one with the "What's .Mac worth?" cover story), turn to page 113.







A tawdry little ad, yes, but the young lady possesses several traits that never fail to stir my tea: dimples and/or smiley lines around the mouth, short hair, dark hair, a strong prominent nose, sexy shoulders and...oh yeah, not very many clothes (doesn't take much, ladies and gents...).



Yes, quite a tacky little ad for Macworld I must say (they're receiving irate letters about it as we speak, I'm sure: "As a 10 year subscriber to Macworld, I'm writing to express my dismay at the continuing decline of your once-great magazine. If I want to be presented with tasteless, gratuitous smut and suggestive photography, I'll read Martha Stewart's Living. CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION, ASSHEADS!").



I can see it now...



But this girl with the PowerBook is a bit of a cutie-pie. Why...perhaps even bordering on luscious!



Anyone gutsy enough to be photographed on the toilet while using - of all things - a Titanium PowerBook is someone I could quite possibly build a life with.







Ellen Feiss can go pound sand (and blaze up another doobie while doing so) and Janie Porche can go and try to save Groundhog Day for all I care.



I'll take my porcelain-perched vixen over them day of the year.



Quite possibly the world's happiest PowerBook...

What's with the relentless focus on sex, Pscates? That all you thought about during your month off?

pscates

I'd hardly call it "relentless" if I haven't posted in over a month.







I don't think I've veered into Penthouse Forum territory quite yet.







Sorry, Brad...I don't have a scanner, otherwise I'd be happy to. I figured most of you here would simply have it already.

I'd like to know how many people here actually have a subscription...

I used to have a subscription to Macworld, back when I wasn't an EE student and the low-rate technical descriptions were interesting reading. Now I expect more, and I can get it from the IEEE mags.

pscates

Well, it's worth it for that photo.







I used to have one, but I let it lapse. Which is really stupid because I've bought it on the newstand, every issue, for two years straight. I've wasted SO much money!

casecom

I dunno, man. She's OK as long as you stay out of the way of that pointy chin. Those are some nasty-looking feet, though. I think her toes are longer than mine! :eek:



Really, not a great photo all around. It's even tilted a bit. That photographer ain't exactly Walter Iooss Jr. ... Now that Jenny McCarthy Candie's ad, that was a toilet shot.

I gave up on MacWorld and other paper media for up-to-date computer information years ago. Whenever I see the cover of a computer magazine nowadays I think it's funny that I read about whatever the subject is online weeks or a month ago before. Since the internet dot-com explosion of the late 90s, I haven't read *any* paper magazines for that matter.



The only paper periodicals I still read on occasion are The News & Observer (a local newspaper) and The New York Times.

I do. Got it as a gift. And I thought the ad was hilarious. Being that the advertising world has gone through the shit-tubes as of late...



I read the software reviews and carry it around to make me look "cool"



Now I look just like a jerk. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

Hyperbole, my dear friend- which doesn't render the rest of what I said- half jokingly- useless.

The magazine isn't bad because of the picture. The picture does not contribute to the "downfall" of macworld magazine. The internet, like Brad said, does. Sex is on trial again, thanks to Pscates.

murbot

On trial? Please.



The only relentless focus I see here is yours on pscates. Move on guy, it's pathetic.

peve

pscates! shame on you!

looking at somthing you liked!

how could you!



and i bet you eat food you like, too!



didn't you know that you are not allowed to like things?

alcimedes

well damnit, someone needs to get to work with a scanner so we can judge as to whether or not pscates is correct.

murbot

Yes! The dog sleds haven't made it up here yet with the new issue. Surely someone can scan it!

Ouch. Hyperbole, murbot. I'm simply commenting on the issues Pscates has brought up... 1) Jennifer Lopez is supposedly a skank and 2) Sexy advertising supposedly indicates the downfall of Macworld magazine. I think I have a valid case that the focus on sex is real. His first two posts in nearly a week and third and fourth posts in a month had very negative, anti-sex overtones which wouldn't be a problem if he just supported both assertions.

torifile

Goddamn, scates! Are you serious that you think she's good looking?!? I read this post this morning and haven't been able to get the cringe feeling out since then. Thanks alot.



And I've got a subscription too. Also a gift. Hell, it makes good, um, throne reading... Apropos, I suppose.

Save the psychoanalysis, you're de-railing the thread.

Someone scan the frickin picture for gods sake.
