After receiving your November issue (I sent the following letter to their customer service last week) After about 15 years of getting your magazine, I have decided not to renew my subscription. It is a shame that your once great publication has become such a joke. After receiving your November issue, and spending 10 minutes removing all the inserts and gimmick ads so I could actually read it, I found no substance. Instead there is a fashion section (yikes), a `hot list' with young barely dressed men and women (hey I'm not against a little sex and skin, but I'll subscribe to Vogue or Maxim for that), an article about Larry David's wife that might as well have come from People magazine, an Aussie travelogue that I am convinced their tourist board paid for, all sandwiched in between so many ads for monster SUVs and other crap that you need a compass and a map just to keep up with where the articles worth reading continue from one page to the next. What happened to the great writers like Krakauer? What happened to having any environmental conscience? Where are the stories of adventure that are real and make you want to go there? Maybe I am just getting older than your current demographic. I haven't lost my sense of adventure, which is why I live in Durango CO and spend a lot of time outdoors. I used to look to your magazine for inspiration. Now I half expect the cover to tout stories on `killer abs'. You've become the Clear Channel of the outdoor magazine world. Get real again and I may come back. $BUY TODAY>ASUS Transformer TF300 T-B1-BL 10.1-Inch 32 GB Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 16 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computerfor sale. $BUY TODAY>Coby Kyros 8-Inch Android 4.0 4 GB 4for sale. $BUY TODAY>Toshiba Thrive 10.1-Inch 16 GB Android Tablet AT105-T1016for sale. $BUY TODAY>Samsung Galaxy Tab 2for sale.

It's weird that most of these other reviews are concerned It's weird that most of these other reviews are concerned with subscription problems. I just moved to the city last year, and subscribed to both Time Out New York and New York magazine. After about a month, I found myself tossing out TONY, which with its papery material feels more like a TV guide to me, and instead carrying my copy of New York everywhere I go. While TONY is more comprehensive about local events (i.e. readings, concerts, theatre, movies, etc.), New York magazine focuses more on New York culture and news, and especially emphasizing the media's current focus. For instance, last week's issue had Caroline Kennedy on the cover. I've learned to trust NYMag's restaurant selections, and the reviews tend to be detailed and useful. Every week, it lists new openings or reopenings of restaurants, along with general critic's picks, which I've found very useful. The layout of the magazine is also very friendly and endearing. There's the approval matrix of people and things that are currently in or out of favor, the culture pages, and even events for kids, not to mention the least, my favorite -- the weekly crossword puzzle, which I actually like more than the NYtimes's. If anything else, be sure to get the copy of 'Best of New York' when it comes out, for a great guide to the best of what the city has to offer. $BUY TODAY>VIZIO 8-Inch Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>ASUS Transformer TF101-A1 10.1-Inch Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>MOTOROLA XOOM Android Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>Coby Kyros 9.7-Inch Android 4.0 8 GB 4for sale. $BUY TODAY>Le Pan TC 970 9.7-Inch Multi-Touch LCD Google Android Tablet PCfor sale.

Inc. is one of my favorite magazines Inc. is one of my favorite magazines. It has good, practical information for the entrepreneur and small business owner, as well as anyone who is interested in business. Unlike other business magazines that contain articles that are long and ponderous, Inc. doesn't waste your time with tedium. Its sister publication, Fast Company, is also good. Two reviewers gave this magazine low ratings because they hadn't received their first issue after 4 weeks. Look, it CLEARLY states: "Availability: The first issue should arrive in 6-10 weeks." That means the first issue should arrive between 1� and 2� months after the order is placed. It hurts to see a great magazine get a lower rating than it deserves because some people either can't read or can't do math. $BUY TODAY>Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1for sale. $BUY TODAY>Blackberry Playbook 7-Inch Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>HP TouchPad Wi-Fi 32 GB 9.7-Inch Tablet Computerfor sale. $BUY TODAY>Samsung Galaxy Tab 2for sale. $BUY TODAY>Sony SGPT112US/S Wi-Fi Tablet�for sale.

TV Guide Description TV Guide is now Full-Size TV Guide Description TV Guide is now Full-Size, Full-Color, for people who are passionate about their favorite shows, characters, and stars. Plus, an easier-to-use national listings section with more highlights and reviews. $BUY TODAY>Blackberry Playbook 7-Inch Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>ASUS TF700T-C1-GR 10.1-Inch Tabletfor sale. $BUY TODAY>Coby Kyros 7-Inch Android 4.0 4 GB 16for sale. $BUY TODAY>Coby Kyros 7-Inch Android 4.0 4 GB 16for sale. $BUY TODAY>Coby Kyros 10.1-Inch Android 4.0 8 GB 16for sale. TV Guide used to have complete 24-hour-a-day listings, plus terrific articles about TV actors, trends, etc. Then they remodeled it completely, and now they just aren't about listings, and their articles aren't as good. Sure I can surf the channels on cable, but my provider doesn't list shows more than a few hours in advance, and surfing the web for schedule info is a big drag. I stopped reading TV Guide when they stopped doing complete listings and having great articles, even though it still arrived every week for months. I'd LOVE to go back to it. It used to be something you could pick up really cheaply at the supermarket, for fifteen cents. But I wouldn't mind paying if I was getting a real TV GUIDE.   Create Date : 13 ตุลาคม 2555     Last Update : 13 ตุลาคม 2555 14:40:31 น. Counter : 426 Pageviews.   Share Tweet
