 Never received, 2008-01-17
I've seen three different Wired issues come and go at the bookstore, and I haven't received a single issue at home. Since Amazon doesn't handle customer service, they bounced me back and forth between them: Conde Naste didn't receive the order, Amazon doesn't have a record of it (except in my order history) and in general the fulfillment process on this purchase has been lacking.

Better Than It Was., 2008-01-07
First, you don't have to be a computer geek or nerd to enjoy this magazine. I am not fond of these overused generalizations. How many of us could cross over or fit into many odd & often out of date labels? This magazine is mainly forward looking about technology, electronics, & computers. I found that I like it more now than a few years ago. The quality & style has improved. It could always have less advertising, but that is not likely.
This is a very different type of resource, which is refreshing. It is aimed at a more diverse audience, it mixes technology, politics, & aspects of what we call "pop culture." I have often thought that the latter term is oxymoronic? It varies from 170-250 pages per issue. These are its various departments. Rants & Raves: it has features & letters to the editor. Start: brief articles on electronics, science business people, architecture, art, & politics. Play: video games, cars, books, music, & entertainment media. Posts: articles on the internet, technology, & business. Found: is one page at the end of each issue subtitled as "Artifacts From The Future."
The remainder of the magazine contains 7-8 articles of varied length & quality. With more details about business, technology, philosophy, & politics. Some articles are not always very clear & seem out of place, or unfinished. This magazine still suffers a bit from a lack of tying up loose ends. But, on the whole it is worth reading for the diversity of its contents.

 An excellent read, look forward to it arriving each month, 2007-12-31
This a quite a magazine. Great for those of us with mild A.D.D. and need a fast paced interesting read. I have given it as gift to several friends and they all enjoy it.

 Just Plain Boring, 2007-12-24
As a self confessed geeky type I was really looking forward to my first issue. Maybe my excitement had built too much during the 3 months it took for the damn thing to arrive, but the first issue was quite disappointing. Give it another chance I thought - second issue arrived today and I have pretty much the same opinion.
So what's the problem - IMHO the magazine has an identity crisis. It tries to be a lot of things (new technology reporter, product reviewer, political commentator) but doesn't quite cut it in any of these categories. As a result it becomes a rather disjointed read. In the end you get bored quickly.

Awesome amazing magazine. If you don't like it you're not a tech., 2007-12-10
Okay this magazine is by far one of the BEST tech magazines out there. To combat all the negative reviews of this magazine, you guys are probably not at the intellectually techy level of where this magazine is. Not a problem, it's not for you. That's fine. This magazine has GREAT articles and tons of interesting Ads. Yes I said it Ads. And Ads for really neat stuff too.
Worth every cent.
