I guess thats the answer to the question connected to the questionmark in the quoted post. Hmmm January 8th. I guess that means that MacAddict is warped to infinity after the december issue and comes back on the 8th of january in a new shape...

Just in time for Mac World.

mh yea. Damn it I want to go to MacWorld. Got to check how much it'll cost me to fly over and stay for a couple of days.

sad isn't it. This is the best they could come up with.

I dunno -- I think the combined riff on the Command-key glyph and the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation slogan is kind of cute.  Whether we want people to associate Macs with Advanced Tea Substitute is another matter, of course.

is that what that is supposed to be?  I thought is was just a pretty flower that they had thrown on the end of their name to fancy it up a bit.  I guess it's not as bad as I first thought then.

I know some of you guys don't bother looking at the home page for macaddict but there is a link to an interview with Rik talking about the change to Mac|Life on there.

I'll read the first few issues, as my subscription ends next December.  If it vastly improves the content and spirit of the mag then I'll keep it even if I think the new title sucks.  If it is just the same old stuff, I'm out.  The mag has become a Macworld clone and I dropped Macworld long ago.  I don't need to know about Photoshop, Shake, Bryce, etc as I am not in video or print.  I want a mag that was like the original Macaddicts.  I want to know how to hack my computers beyond their stated potential.  I want expert hacks for the operating system and programs.  I want tips and advice on internet apps and searches.  Sadly, Macaddict no longer provides this on a regular basis for me.  I don't hate Macaddict for changing, its just that I don't need what you are providing.  I am not a new user, and most of your mag is now devoted to those people.  If I want Mac news, I can get it online the day something is announced.  I have to wait at least a month or more for you to have anything in your mag due to the delay involved in printing and publishing a mag.

Its been a swell ten years, but I fear I will be bidding a fond farewell in the next year. 

Yep.... I'm in the same situation.

I don't care what the name of the magazine is as long as i can still get here like this www.macaddict.com/phpbb2...

Good interview, Rik.

Congratulations to Rik Myslewski, Editor in Chief, MacAddict for your promotion to Media Producer for MacLife.com. Your interview with Chuck Joiner on MacVoices #680 dated 10-29-06 was a pleasure. I look forward to the announcement of the new Editor in Chief for MacLife magazine. Care to share any hints as to the identity?

I have one little concern : my subscription to MacAddict will expire June 1 2008. 
1-Will I subscribe automatically to MacLife ?
...

I sort of got the same worries. I just recently managed (you wouldn't believe the troubles I've had) to renew my subscription so that I get my first issue in december and the last one in november 2008. This should guarantie a gapfree subscription but since the mag is changing its name it worries me a tiny bit. Though reading this relaxes me a little bit.

If you’re not currently a MacAddict subscriber (or if your subscription is about to expire) use this form to reserve your FREE copy of Mac|Life’s premier issue...

A great promotion would be to give all MAF forum members a free subscription.

Ehrm! With over 25000 registered members and about $29,95 per one year subscription (US-subprice only counted for), such a gesture would much likely, however nice it might seem, ruin the magazine since it'd total around $750'000

Need I say it's in the red ?
