The WWW.
When I bought my first iMac I got a few months of MacWorld for free. I
thought it nice and then subscribed for a year. But the useful unknown
tips per issue ratio fell to a point where it wasn't worth opening them
anymore so I didn't renew.
Between 9to5Mac, Macrumours, Macworld's own site and many more I'm more
up to date (or can find something needed) much quicker than wading
through a magazine that is mainly dedicated to selling add space.
Not to mention of course the avoidance of paper waste and the fossil
fuel emissions and energy in printing the magazine and shipping it.

I ask questions here from time to time and get good to excellent replies
from the usual suspects - or nothing.
Searching the web I find the odd bit here and there and can usually find
what I need. Upcoming news or new things I don't find here much at all
unless someone announces it (and sometimes I'm the announcer).
But this NG is not as good as it was 5 years ago and I suspect it was
ever better 5 years before that. (usenet groups everywhere have been
suffering from quality issues).
