Pros: Only cost me 10 bucks.
Cons: Cost me 10 bucks.
Summary: I ordered this months ago and never received an issue. When I emailed customer service, they said the post office returned my issues as bad address, which of course they never bothered to contact me about for over 3 months. When they supplied the address ...

Pros: Wide variety of tech-related articles cover many topics.
Cons: Sometimes visually jarring and difficult to read.
Summary: Wired is one of those magazines that I occasionally pick up and leaf through and always like, but never seem to actually subscribe to. Partly, I was worried that it would prove to be too techy and arcane for me, full of in-depth articles about ...

Pros: Occasional useful article. Eye-catching lay-out.
Cons: Often shallow. Often silly. Always gimmicky. Definitely not what it used to be.
Summary: "Wired" used to be a pretty cool magazine. I used to have access to it where I worked and I read if with regularity. It always was a mile wide and an inch deep but that was OK. Even the dull stuff was creatively presented and there was ...

Pros: Profiles of some cool toys.
Cons: Too glitzy for hard-core techies.
Summary: Wired magazine is a great one for flipping through. In fact, the 15-second article style is quite possibly the most flippable content in the print magazine world. Indeed, a child's comic book requires far more thought than an issue of ...

Pros: None, if the most important features doesn't work.
Cons: Technical Support that is ridiculously unsupportive.
Summary: The recorder itself is fine. The sole reason I bought it to replace a casette-based recorder is its function to download the audio files to PC for storage and playback. On that function, the files downloaded fine, but the big files (say, > 20 MB) ...

Pros: I still haven't payed.
Cons: They keep thinking I should.
Summary: I'd like to start off by saying this review isn't about Wired magazine itself, but instead about their tactics in trying to get me to subscribe to their publication and why I think everyone should know about them. So please read on.

Cons: Expensive and hard to find.
Summary: I've been subscribing to The Wire for two years now and it has become an essential part of my investigations into new music--much of it stuff that I had little idea existed.

Pros: Thorough treatment of most topics, timely.
Cons: Sometimes bad print clarity, too many advertisements.
Summary: I have been a subscriber to Wired for two years. I have never read the magazine from front to back. Why? The diversity of topics in this magazine must be commended. The breadth of issues covered from month to month can be pretty vast. Some of the...

Pros: Huge issues, aesthetically pleasing layout.
Cons: Articles are way too long.
Summary: I was very excited to get a subscription to Wired magazine. "What a way to keep up on current technology news," I thought. Unfortunately, Wired was just not my type of magazine, and I'll try to articulate why.
For me, I don't have the time to...

Pros: Informative
Cons: none
Summary: This magazine is great! It has such versatility in articles. If it has something to do with technology it will make it's way into this magazine. It is great, because every issue you get, you never know what you are going to get inside. The articles...
