I think c'T is the closest thing resembling Byte magazine at its peak.

Used to subscribe to it when I lived in Sweden (both to keep my german language reading skills fresh and to enjoy the articles that tended to go into fascinating depth). Nowadays I tend to pick the latest copy whenever I pass through a german airport.

It's also a steal at 3.90 EUR for 200+ pages. And it's bi-weekly, not monthly. :)

Comment Netflix wasn't more than that? (Score 1) 574
