The US version of MacUser was the first one I subscribed to, back circa 1991. It was later folded into MacWorld (IIRC). They were thick mags back in the day, weren't they?

You know, I've always used Google search, and I think it's done well. But honestly, that's the one thing - the only thing - that Google makes any money on. And every quarter it's a race to see if the increase-in-clicks will manage to outpace the dro…

Apple files for dismissal of lawsuit. Judge gives plaintiffs attorneys (whoever that plaintiff may be now) til Monday to respond. Can't they just plug in yet another plaintiff (having already lost two, and with the third hanging by a thread?) Appl…
