MSDN Magazine will publish its last issue in November

There are times I wish I could sit down and do some reading in magazine form, etc. But none of the topics I want to read exist as far as web development goes. It makes sense due to the immediacy of all the content i get... but I do sort of yearn for a curated physical form too...
Instead I find myself flipping through my son's lego magazines.
I hope they come back in a cheap to publish / novelty type thing.
at some point the smaller the print run the less economical it becomes to print. The litho plates and other press setup costs will become a higher and higher proportion of the cost of each copy.
OTOH, this is a marketing operation, not really an editorial one - Microsoft doesn't expect to make money out of it.
