Great articles, as you know, and a nice print-design too. Well, sometimes it goes overboard but most of the time it's nice. But then there's the commercials; they make up at *least* half of the magazine, I kid you not! So, while I like the magazine, I found it to not be worth the 79 SEK since I can read the good articles online anyways.. Other than that, Wired has become sort of.. I dunno, bland? It used to be this really cool and outthere magazine, trendsetting and all that. MTV used to be that too, and we all know what they've become. Wired isn't as pointless, dull and *bad* as MTV has become, but it's going in that direction, it seems.. Doesn't hurt to pick up a few copies of Wired though, I'm not sure about a subscription however. Wired is a lovely magazine, I used to read it a lot.

Now they have managed to get better once again. To aspire to be trendsetting is both pointless and misdirected. Wired used to be dull when they got lost with the IT business delirium.

They don't anymore. Too bad. They used to have a quote from their patron saint, Marshall McLuhan, in every issue. They don’t anymore. Too bad.
