There are many ways and many reasons to format a magazine as they do. It all has to do with the target audience.

So you can read straight down the page without a lot of side-to-side movement of your eyes, that's why.  And as screens get shorter and wider, software puts more stuff at the top, like Microsoft Word 2007's "ribbon" user interface.  Argh!  Well, at least I snapped up a 1600 by 1200 pixel LCD before the price shot up.
