1132578 2010-08-30 03:14:00 I mainly get it for the decent articles. Though im getting sick of them praising Nortons & McAfee :( goodiesguy (15316)
1132579 2010-08-30 03:19:00 it used to be good but since they've done those AV tests which are a pack of lies compared to actual "real world" testing by our resident tester (who may or may not have too much time on his hands :D) Wainutech.

gotta find that thread he made about that:D.


theres too much advertising rubbish in it now.

until it improves(likely?) i'm gonna give it a miss.

1132580 2010-08-30 07:21:00 I just got the new Mag today, it should be renamed MacWorld or NortonWorld.

I thought its meant to be about PC's, am i wrong?

It has 2 articles about iPhoney 4 and the i(won't go)Mac.

The "PC" could stand for a number of things. Probably originally stood for "Personal Computer" (that's so 1980's!!!)

In today's context, it's probably "Personal Computing" which covers desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones and all the software and peripherals you can plug into them....

1132582 2010-08-30 07:44:00 I do read it - from the Uni's UBS. Renmoo (66)
1132583 2010-08-30 09:32:00 It arrived at lunch time and must have been a good one because it took me ten minutes to read, mostly the cpu test section Twelvevolts (5457)
1132584 2010-08-30 20:58:00 Yes their reviews are very superficial.
Especially on printers, its almost as if they just print the brochure, without trying one.

And their biased reviews on anti virus programs !

I wonder how much longer they can go on, when you can get it all on here !

I used to buy it every month, but I stopped a few years ago.

Too much for a 1/4 of an hour read.

1132586 2010-08-30 23:48:00 I subscribed for years to the PCWorld mag but quit a couple of months back :(

Too much American hard sell BS for my liking. Also too much game stuff which is not my scene :)

1132587 2010-08-31 03:42:00 I have been subscribing since before it came with a CD.
Anyway decided I will not renew my sub for all the reasons already discussed.
RIP PC World:(
