And, in fact, even its name had become somewhat obsolete - everything cutting edge should more likely be wireless now, shouldn't it? And, really, was there ever any chance that Conde Nast could actually deliver the type of tech talk previously found in a mag like Wired? No, I think not. Of course, that now leaves the field wide open for a publication that <i>could</i> actually fit this niche. However, it would be a long, hard struggle to establish one what with the way print publications are dropping like flies. Even PC Magazine, in the States, will be going to an online only format - if it hasn't already. Then again, in this digital age, that's probably only to be expected. Especially with companies such as Zinio delivering a very magazine-like experience on our digital devices. Still, even though I'm online all the freaking time, I do love a good magazine. Not enough to subscribe to one anymore, though. And there you have the problem in a nutshell. Newspapers, print mags, it's just a matter of time before they are all all gone.
