PC Magazine, a 26 year old publication, has decided to kill its print version and focus its efforts online.

Tech media company Ziff Davis announced Wednesday that it will fold its 26-year-old print publication PC Magazine, with its final edition slated for January. The magazine moved from bi-weekly to monthly earlier this year and a New York judge recently approved a reorganization plan for Ziff Davis to emerge from its bankruptcy protection. It’s online network (ExtremeTech, Gearlog, Appscout, Smart Device Central, GoodCleanTech, DL.TV, Cranky Geeks, and PCMagCast) will be renamed PCMag Digital Network and PCMag.com will be its lead property.

Remind me never to mess with a female Georgian journalist.

This is the dramatic moment a TV reporter was shot by a sniper as she reported live from war-torn Georgia. Tamara Urushadze took a bullet to her left arm in the flashpoint town of Gori as Russian forces continued their illegal occupation. Bravely, or foolishly, the 32-year-old brunette continued her report after a few moments as other journalists and aid workers dashed for cover.

Area Senior Remembers a Simpler Time When His Anus Didn't Leak:

CARSON CITY, NV—Looking out his window as the cars zoom by and a jet plane rumbles overhead, 87-year-old Hank Fletcher sees a world far different from the one in which he grew up. In his day, the retired factory worker says, life was simpler. The streets were quieter, people were more polite, neighbors all knew one another, and his anus did not emit oily discharges of liquid stool.

How can you not love this?

Where would we be without The Onion?

"Strength, commitment, hope for a brighter future—you're looking at the wrong goddamn guy," asserts the television spot, as a still, unflattering image of Romney is struck with a large red "PATHETIC" stamp-graphic. "Do you know what I did yesterday? No, not campaign. I ate a gallon of ice cream. That's right, the whole damn thing."

"Is this who you want running your country for the next four years?" asks the damaging spot. "Someone who can't even run a simple microwave without crying?"

John Gruber quotes MDJ via Twitter:

"It's the only business in the world where being wrong about someone else's facts gets them in trouble, not you."

Oh, The Onion. How I love thee:

Sometimes I'm a little stupid, maybe, a little slow in the head, so I'm wondering if you can help me get something straight. Maybe you can help me understand one fucking thing right now, America, and explain to me what in the Christ is going on here. 'Cause, unless I'm missing something, this country is in the middle of a motherfucking shitstorm, and I have no fucking idea what you're gonna do to get out of it. I mean, are you seriously considering voting for one of these shitbags you got here in '08? Fat fucking chance.

I'm in awe of this, because it's exactly how I feel about this guy:

Meanwhile, what's to say about Huckabee, with his corn-pone aw-shucks Gomer Pyle act and his bass playing and his self-deprecating humor? All I need to know about him is that he says he wants to take this nation back for Christ. In my book that's it. Sorry. You're done. Out. Gone. Bye. I mean stuff like that scares the living shit out of me. Funny thing is I'm pretty sure Jesus would hate this asshole just as much as I do.
