MacUser

MacUser was a monthly (formerly biweekly) computer magazine published by <a href="/facts/Dennis_Publishing_Ltd./C0WGxMkc">Dennis Publishing Ltd.</a> and licensed by Felden in the UK. It ceased publication in 2015.
In 1985 <a href="/facts/Felix_Dennis/V35PGAKQ">Felix Dennis</a>’ Dennis Publishing, the creators of MacUser in the UK, licensed the name and “mouse-rating” symbol for MacUser to <a href="/facts/Ziff-Davis/QLs2JQEB">Ziff-Davis</a> Publishing for use in the rest of the world. The UK MacUser was never linked to the US MacUser. When Ziff-Davis merged its Mac holdings into <a href="/facts/Mac_Publishing/UMez5Tbn">Mac Publishing</a> in September 1997, that new company gained the license to use the MacUser name. However, it opted to keep the <a href="/facts/Macworld/UMez5Tbn">Macworld</a> magazine brand-name alive, albeit with MacUser-style mouse ratings. As a result, only the original UK-based MacUser remains, and the UK edition of Macworld is unable to use the mouse rating symbols used by its fellow Macworld editions.
The UK <a href="/facts/Magazine/4CPK1emz">magazine</a> was aimed at <a href="/facts/Apple_Macintosh/8GhnXTK0">Mac</a> users in the <a href="/facts/Design/kR4GNeja">design</a> sector, and each issue brought the reader up-to-date with news, reviews, ‘Masterclass’ tutorials and technical advice. Masterclasses take the reader through tasks such as photo <a href="/facts/Photo_manipulation/HfFJFmFg">retouching</a>, design techniques, and creating movies.
