Shift Calls it Quits

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the end-of-the-line dept.

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 "

    Thats too bad that all these companies are bombing out lately... Hopefully we have a rise in economy soon.

    Anyone know when programming jobs are going to become easier to get and higher paying? Any good guesses? I have a nice job now, just looking for more money.

    Well, America sucks when it comes to producing martyrs - perhaps it is because martyr farming has such a low return on investment.

    I therefore suggest that martyrs be imported from countries who have more mature martyr technology, like Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia.

    May I cite the PATRIOT Act, the DMCA, and the drug war which has heavy restrictions on sedating or depressant drugs yet we have over 20 forms of legal speed available at the grocery store under the guise of dietary supplement, cold medicine and caffeine tablets? This is the new form of the fascist state that now is growing in the States?

    May I direct you here, specifically to the article written by Jackson Mayhem. May I also remind you of the protests that happened months ago where the D.C. police force had buses and plastic ties waiting to arrest certain protesters. Remember fascism doesn't happen over night, but if you look at who's in power you would imagine it already has.
