Incredibly easy to use and do post-recording edits with.Records video and audio straight from the machine, and quality for both can be set on export.
Cons: The company that owns Screenflow is not the original company that made it. While they're also a fine company, there's fewer large updates to the software under the new owners.

A robust and speedy editor with good support and documentation. Can do just about anything you need done to text.

A classic trick that does no long term harm to clothing.

Amazing value. Each game alone is worth the price, and the games have a lot of replay value with the use of Valve's Achievements system.
Cons: Some servers in Team Fortress 2 can be full of griefing players. Portal is shorter than we'd all wish it to be. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 was also shorter than many expected.

It's everyone's favorite nerd blog from the 1990s...
Cons: A bit slow to get the 'news'. Frequent typos, and frequently sensational instead of informational.

Keeps the publishing houses (not the magazine publishers) in business!
Cons: The recipient may receive a magazine they really enjoy, and now you'll have to hear all about their new interest.

Massive printers!
Cons: Repetitive work.

Help people interpret and use the law to their advantage.

Fantastic photography, with many views of a single situation. This is closer to what daily news reporting should be.

Frequently interesting ideas.
Cons: Tries to make economies out of situations that don't really apply.

Responsive and fast service. Amazing reputation, and host to many huge (and popular) sites.

Tyler Brule has another magazine where editorial content reads incredibly similar to advertising content.
Cons: A tendency to favor Japan as a nation that can do no wrong, a subscription price that is more than single-issue newsstand price.
