Good Riddance PC Magazine

Teleread notes that PC Magazine will no longer exist as a print publication, though its website will continue on. I’ve always thought PC Magazine exhibited utter incompetence — how else to explain the continued feature spot that the clueless John Dvorak continued to get in the magazine right up until the end.

But don’t take my word for its incompetence — check out the PC Magazine website for what must be one of the most hideous, overcomplicated web designs anywhere. Just for fun I copied the HTML to the front page into my text editor and counted all the instances of “http” to figure out just how many links are on that single page.

The final tally was 378. Even Yahoo! was never that insane.
