Shift Calls it Quits

MCS writes "Shift Magazine announced that it is closing down after 10 years. Biggest reason is that within this 10 year period they only turned profit on one issue. I remember at one point that they even had their own TV show -- the magazine was different then it competitors (Wired) as it focused more on the impact of technology and the social generation of those who lived in it. This can be seen in such issues as 'The Simpson Generation' and 'Seven Days without Tech'. Many of these articles are available online at their website Shift.com "

    I could care less about the latest war the US has gotten itself into, that's what you get for living in a fascist dictatorship like the States, I just want to see a magazine with front-to-back pictures of women in various juxtapositions.

    Oh please! If anything, Canadians are grossly over-represented in the U.S. media!

    I seem to remember a certain John Roberts, back when he was a long-hair who went by J.D. Roberts, spinning videos for City-TV. Now he's all: "Mister President, blah blah blah."

    Never mind Mike Myers, Jim Carey, Avril Lavigne, Michael J. Fox, Lorne Michaels, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Wayne Newton, Skinny Puppy, Rush, Sum 41, Pamela Anderson, etc. etc.

    If enough people liked Shift, it would still be around today. Save your sucking and whining for your mommy.
