Computer Science Journals/Magazines

I'm currently an undergraduate CSC student who is thinking about his senior project. I plan to go to graduate school and want to work on a meaningful topic. Does anyone know a (the) leading Computer Science journal/magazine that follows the current research of the field? Essentially the Scientific American of CSC?

Thank you for your time.
 
You need to be more narrow than that. And, by definition, a journal isn't bleeding edge. The turn-around time for publishing in a good journal can be about a year and a half, so that's obviously not bleeding edge.

But pick a category (AI, robotics, graphics, networking, security, theory) and then find an ACM or IEEE conference that pertains, and read the last couple proceedings. For example, googling "ACM theory", returns ACM SIGACT. There's also FOCCS, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, IEEE and ACM conferences are where 99% of the action happens on the academic side of computers.

 
I have to agree with the others. Either the ACM or the IEEE. Both organizations offer discounts for students.

Add Computer Architecture, Language (Compilers), Systems, and Databases to Scootermaster's list.

Check out the following conferences and journals (I'm an architect, so I'm most familiar with them...):
Architecture: ISCA, MICRO (International Symposium on Microarchitecture), HPCA, ASPLOS
Language: OOPSLA
Databases: VLDB
Systems: ASPLOS
