Summary: Only $5.00 now? - I paid $7.00 and feel like I over paid
Comment: When I subscribed I was hoping for a bit more meat but what you get is mainly fat. For starters the mag is apx 90% ad space, with the rest being fluff - "how to be web poser" or an in depth look at Starbucks coffee machines, a few short product reviews and personality profile articles on various people in tech/web/comp biz. There have been a few things of merit, a feature on Shai Agassi who is developing an electric car, one about who the next President should listen to, a feature on "Weird" Al Yankovic that was interesting. But so far I would consider only 50 of a 1000 + pages have been worth reading.

Summary: at least the ads aren't over my head
Comment: I'm sure this is more for the tech minded; but, there's still enough in it for the rest of us. If you have time and enjoy spending it thumbing thru magazines, this one is certainly entertaining. The ads are sleek, the men are handsome and there's tidbits of info for everyone.

Summary: Need patience...
Comment: I ordered it on 9/4/08, it's been almost 6 weeks now, I still haven't gotten my first issue of the magazine. So... if you are ordering it as a present for someone, order EARLY!! Hopefully it'll be here soon :(
Customer Rating:
Summary: a tremendous disappointment
Comment: this magazine has much going for it but almost, without fail, falls far short. The articles, mostly, have the merits to be decent read and something you can find informative, unfortunately --either the editors edit out the content or the writers only write fluff-- the articles are filled with nothing of substance. For instance, in an article several years ago about the need to move to nuclear power, the author tries to disprove all other forms of power in one 6 sentence paragraph. Now if that isn't fair reporting, then I guess I don't know what an argument is. Afterwards, as most articles in Wired, it starts fluffing out instead of actually reporting anything.
In short, the reviews only look at the neatest features and not the price or quality (ie the review is nothing more than you can find by 5 minutes at Best Buy). The articles suck, give you nothing, and make you a little bit more ignorant of subject matters.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great magazine for a great price.
Comment: I couldn't resist getting 12 issues of this magazine for $5 (there was a coupon code). Worked out well and the first issue I received was actually a NEW issue and not a previous month's that I could already purchase at the store.
