These are pretty much all trade rags, so recommendation is based on if you are into the field or not. As an EE/software guy I have a wide range of technical interests.

Electronic Design: new developments in electronic components and circuits. Been a subscriber for 15+ years.

Machine Design: new tech & tutorials on older mechanical engineering technology. I think it's better than Design News :-)

Embedded Systems Design: the once-thick canon gone skinny. Good, but the website is better.

Communications of the ACM: automatically get it as an ACM member.

The above I've subscribed to for 10+ years!

IVD Technology: Covers In-Vitro Diagnostic medical instruments: my industry. The only trade journal in this specific field I know of, so I guess I have to recommend it.

Military Embedded Systems: it's a fun read sometimes, but mostly just a PR vehicle for various manufacturers.

LED Journal: the latest in LED & lighting technology. Good for keeping up to date on the field.

We used to get Smithsonian and probably should renew. Of all the magazines I've subscribed to over the years, that was probably the best.
