 Only magazine I read, 2003-03-21
As a general manager of a factory - I have very little time for anything. I make time for WIRED. I love new technologys - new breakthrough - and I love opinions on the things with will soon change everyones lives. This magazine is very tasteful in showing fact and opinion. The writing is great and is really geared towards 20-35 year olds. Plus the quality of the printing is great - This magazine feel really nice to the hands - Not that this matters to content! :> The price was so cheap at amazon I could not say no! ML

Look deeper, 2003-02-09
Although Wired had a rough start a few years ago trying to ride the .com boom it has since made a great leap forward in terms of content and style. The articles often mix technology with a non tech topic: cell phones affecting Amish culture, scientific studies of prayer. When the Xbox was released I expected a biased write-up of the new games. Instead they surprised me with an in-depth look at how Microsoft contracted with a Central American, just-in-time, mass-production assembly plant to build them twice as fast as had ever been done. The sidebars of the units specs, nitty gritty pros and cons (polygon counts, sound processor, etc.) were nice too. Sure, Wired still has the ads/gadget reviews but if you're a technophile you enjoy that stuff! And they make no bones about which items are overblown hooey. The InfoPorn is shockingly addictive. Good gift for techie and scientific people.

 Wired so Very Tired, 2003-01-23
I'm amazed that this sententious, gaudy zine still exists. The challenge is to distinguish between content and advertising. Rather than Marshall McLuhan as their patron saint, they should have chosen Calvin Klein.

Lovely, even for Mac users, 2002-12-12
If you're a Mac user, you'll like wired. It's not a Mac mag, but it's got more coverage than you'd think. It's also just hip--just like we are. It's the best tech mag out there, and the price is amazing. Go for it!
