PC Magazine going online onlyPC

PC Magazine will cancel its print edition. The last issue will be dated January 2009. This magazine was the bible of computing for graybeard geeks. It occasionally topped 600 pages. But it was so last century!

Gearing up for Endeavor's launch

It's been more than 45 years since Russia put the first man in space. So, space flights are nothing new.
But that doesn't make space exploration anything short of amazing. I still watch every shuttle launch with a little bit of wonder.
Today, the space shuttle Endeavor is blasting off on a new mission. It will deliver supplies and equipment to the International Space Station.
During the mission, crew members will make four space walks. They have to service parts of the station's solar arrays.
At NASA's site, you can learn more about tonight's launch. You can also watch NASA gear up for the launch.
But the fun won't be over today. NASA will Webcast all four space walks live! You—and your kids—won't want to miss that!
