 They really can keep it interesting, 2002-12-01
What I like about wired: it's simple, they forget about rules and guidelines and push boundaries where they can be pushed, write stories nobody else wants to touch on, say what they want about products that others won't dare. It's what this magazine is known for. They keep things interesting every month and they are quite diverse that you can always find a way to spend an hour or two going through the magazine. How many other magazines out there will write a FIFTY page article about the DOJ vs Microsoft and not give a hoot about how much space that took. Or write a aritcle after article that on some pages are just nothing but text, no pictures, no cheat sheets, just text. Or that review products givng them a bad name while the advertiser is staring you in the face on the next page. They have a cult following and a very talented staff....please, check this out...it's so cheap you owe it to yourself to get a subscription!!

 Classy but ad-filled, 2002-10-24
I'm a long-time reader and new subscriber, and Wired doesn't seem to pack the punch it did the last few years. The multi-page advertising sections are creeping into Wired's otherwise excellent first-half sections. It seems the ad creep of the net has taken its toll on pulp as well.
That said, this puppy's solid enough to guide the casual tech investor and enthusiast, when balanced with more staid journals.
A quick flip through a newsstand copy will yield a card for Wired's... subscription.

Can't live without it!, 2002-10-22
I've been an avid reader of Wired for over 7 years now. I was willing to go as far as to pay the exorbitant international subscription rates while I was living overseas in Europe. If you're like me and you like all things digital, you'll love Wired. It's truely rare that a magazine can elicit such keen interest for such a long time, but to this day, I still get excited when I see the latest issue on the newstands or when it arrives in the mail.

tech background not necessary to enjoy, 2002-09-27
You don't have to have a Ph.D. in computers, math, or engineering in order to enjoy this magazine: I don't possess such credentials, and I think Wired is outrageously good. The appeal of Wired is information on cutting-edge technology, delivered in a highly visual, understandable, and often entertaining format. A subtle sense of humor pervades the magazine with features such as "Return to Sender" - a contest in which Wired readers attempt to send the weirdest possible item in the mail to the magazine's San Francisco headquarters; or "Japanese Schoolgirl Watch" - which tracks the latest trendy gadgets favored by one of the world's most trend-obsessed demographic groups. Wired endlessly scrutinizes and ponders on the intersection of technology, humans, and society in its terrific articles. The articles are always interesting, and well-written, with topics such as artificial sight research, or the shenanigans of MIT's Blackjack Team in Las Vegas (9/02 issue); parents of extremely ill children, united via the Internet in their challenges to the medical industry (9/01); or a profile of the Ibot Transporter "inventrepreneur," Dean Kamen (9/00). Wired is a beautifully presented, outstanding magazine. Try one issue - you might get hooked!
