First thing I do with Wired is tear out everything before the table
of contents. Ironic that a magazine geared at information-hungry
technophiles is run by McLuhanites who think the medium is the message.
Are they just lucky yahoos serving a market that isn't served by anything
more suitable, or are they really onto some big market of wannabe-technophiles
who failed math and like bright flashy colors?
