Sign of the times...
Newsweek's final print issue is for sale right now; not sure how long it's been out, but I'm just now seeing it...
... scary; they'll be solely on-line from here on out.
I'm sure other magazines have already gone this route, but Newsweek, which I impulse buy probably 4-5 times a year, is the first major one I can think of that's gone this route.
You'll be missed; being available on-line isn't the same thing as busting out a ragged copy to read on the "think-tank", etc.

The print media may not be around in ten years unless they find away to make themselves attractive to the younger generation who prefer to read their news on iPads etc.

Just bought one; it's in my car, but I guess they touch upon the 8 decades Newsweek has been with us (wow) through articles, etc.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

That is sad. I'm 26 and have the full run of technogadgets-read books on my ebook reader, read comics on my tablet-but when I really want to enjoy something, paper format is the only way to go. Reading the news on a tablet is not the same as shaking out the newspaper or magazine and flipping through it.

You know why it sucks that printed magazines and papers might not be around for long -- traveling on planes!
Sure, you can turn your electronics back on when you reach the proper altitude, but it's sometimes a LONG and BORING time if you have to taxi, wait to take off and heaven forbid you're flying in the winter and have to hit the de-icing station.
All I had was my Kindle this Christmas and OMG I was soooo annoyed and bored with nothing to read while we did all the above things. And I couldn't distract myself from listening to the safety announcements.
I learned a valuable lesson -- have a real book or magazine at all times when traveling.

Burger King in the U.K. admits that traces of horse meat were found in some of its hamburger patties. This has to be some significant sign of something. Oh and "traces" = "how did that horse taste?"

Horse meat has been in fast food patties for ages. Thta's not even a surprise. It is perfectly legal to call horse meat 100% pure beef, and has been nearly forever.
Maybe the English were surprised, but I'm not. Hell, horse meat labelled as horse is actually available at the supermarket now.

I know it used to be in canned dogfood in the US, but didn't think it was sold as hamburger
