Expired Wired: All of last season's stories, today

We ought to have sympathy for Wired; the monthly magazine format doesn't lend itself to the quick, first-on-the-scene style of journalism for which the tech audience hungers. Still, when we've seen half the content of the latest issue before we cracked it open, it leaves us asking, what's the point of reading Wired? More »

September's Wired Effect: The Rebirth Death of Music Industry

Anyone who has perused Wired magazine knows how difficult it is to navigate. A popular rant: Why does the Contents section never contain the page numbers for the cover stories that compelled you to purchase the magazine in the first place? In this vein, we're helping to sum up the important stuff, as pertains to you, and even including handy pagination. Don't thank us, just yet. Save the accolades for the comments section. More »

BusinessWeek screws up, and Condé Nast doesn't care about the Internet

BusinessWeek's story on the purchase of Wired News is worse than useless. Writer Jon Fine (pictured here in his New Media glasses) rushed out a piece as thoroughly researched as a Gawker Media blog post. More »

What Chris Anderson told me before Condé Nast bought Wired News

Condé Nast, owners of Wired Magazine, just bought Wired News from Lycos. All sides are cheering because Wired finally rescued its long-lost brother. Eight years ago, Wired Ventures couldn't afford to run independently. The firm had to sell its print division to Condé Nast and its digital division to Lycos. Since then, the Wired brand has been fractured. More »

Let's have Wired run the Valley

Oh boy, another list! The ink has hardly dried on Business 2.0 Magazine's People Who Matter list, and Wired Magazine has already trumped it with the annual "Wired 40" list. While Business 2.0 is just playing Truman Capote, Wired's list is a de facto investment guide for the casual midwestern techie. Some highlights: More »

Wired drops the ball on reporting MySpace

"Everything we've ever done is about giving people choices," says News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch, explaining his purchase of MySpace. "Technology is shifting power away from the editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now it's the people who are taking control." Oh look, says Wired Magazine, Rupe IS the media elite, how lovely that he's on our side, ha ha, the man's a visionary. More »

Remainders: Ellison officially gives Harvard the finger

  • Apple's iPod maker says the sweatshop story isn't true, and they've vaguely threatened a lawsuit over the claim, made by the UK's Daily Mail. Can we resolve this peacefully so the slaves can crank out more toys? [Apple Insider]
  • Props to Gnomedex organizer Chris Pirillo for designing conference tees that we'd pay good cash for (pictured). [Pirillo.com]
  • I was utterly remiss not to show you this classic 1998 rant about writing for Wired Magazine. [Boing Boing]
  • The "Coolz0r" blog has so far catalogued 54 services using "Flickr"-style names. If anyone wants to use this as a hitlist, the blogger will not be held responsible. [Coolz0r]
  • AOL knew it was shady back in 2000. Then again, so did everyone else. [CNNMoney]
  • Larry Ellison officially admits — it's not about the sick kids, it's about his buddy at Harvard. Those expecting the Oracle founder's $115 million donation can suck it. More on this tomorrow. [SFGate]

Editor dooms Wired Magazine's site to fugliness

In a new interview, media site I Want Media helps Chris Anderson plug his "Long Tail" marketing meme (a clever "Tipping Point"-like synthesis of basic economic rules). The Wired Magazine editor also defends the format of his magazine, an industry favorite with a slick print edition and a delayed, bare-bones online edition. More »

Crossover Nerdfight: John Updike snarks Wired's Kevin Kelly

At BookExpo America, distinguished novelist John Updike (whom you read in college) snarked at Wired Magazine founding executive editor Kevin Kelly (whom you last read when someone linked to his blog). At an event so square that the MCs were still making Survivor jokes, Updike (pictured) played the perfect nemesis to the breathless technologist Kelly. More »

Wired News: No apology from us, you idiots

Can they change their names and end the confusion already? Wired News bitchslaps the letter-writers who, inspired by a dead-wrong Huffington Post article, went apeshit on Wired Magazine for an old Wired News story. Wired News ed-in-chief starts his reply: More »
