Looking for a good Mac Magazine

MacWorld is probably the best, but they're a bit dry. If you want some humor, check out MacAddict.
when i registered my mac i got a choice of a free 6 month subscription to macworld, macaddict, or something else (forget what) and i chose macworld. it didnt come 'til the april issue but the reviews are great and ALL the ads are mac/ipod related. may's has a review of the new powerbooks and some popular im clients. the powerbook review is interesting because in most of their benchmarks the 17" beats the 15" 1.67 by a slight to not-so-slight margin. wonder if the 15 had 128 vram? maybe the 100gb disk is faster than the 80gb one? sorry to go off on a tangent.
edit: is byte still in print? ive read some old issues (bound at the library lol) and they were quite interesting.

I kind of like iCreate. Mostly, I think, because it's the first Mac magazine I've ever bought 
It had some interesting tutorials, at least.
It's a UK mag. Don't know if it's available in the US.

hmm
I tend to like Macaddict more than Macworld, bc it feels more hands on.
I am sceptical about both when it comes to software reviews:
Many times they both use the same screenshots, which are posted on the back of the software package. Sometimes the reviews sound like adverts rather than a review by someone that actually tested the product.

I subscribe to MacUser (UK) and I always enjoy reading it. One good thing is that it comes out every two weeks so the news is not too old. The articles are good and has a good mix of news/tutorials/history/comment.
I really like iCreate too. Has lots of masterclasses and tutorials and is a bit more fun and modern than MacUser. One of the features they have each month is where they show a famous person's desktop - its made up of topical jokes and always make me laugh.

Another vote for MacAddict here. I've found lots of little tidbits of useful info in there (including saving myself a trip to a DriveSavers.com)buryyourbrideau said:macaddict!!! for life
Plus, the Staff Video is usually good for a few laughs.
