    Google News hammers the final nail into its magazine subscriptions coffin.

    Almost four years after the search giant stopped letting people buy digital magazines through Google News, the company is removing its magazine-reading feature entirely. After December 18th, you’ll no longer be able to access magazines purchased via the Google News apps or news.google.com, meaning you’ll have to export them if you ever want to read them again. Consider this your PSA.

    A new 4,000 word feature on Marques Brownlee just dropped.

    Fast Company’s latest cover story is on tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee. There’s the main feature itself and a highlights reel of his most significant videos, but perhaps the best quotes in the package come from this interview with Brownlee’s mom, Jeaniene Brownlee:

    People sometimes wonder if Marques grew up in a house with lots of technology, and he was just tapping into that. And the truth of the matter is, it was the exact opposite. We had one television. It was in the family room. We’d rent a movie from Blockbuster on weekends. There were no video games—I wouldn’t allow them.
