hr noshade="true" size="1" class="bucketDivider" / div class="bucket" id="productDescription" div class="content" p clear="all" strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Who Reads iWired/i?/font/strong br iWired/i readers want to know how technology is changing the world, and theyre interested in big, relevant ideas, even if those ideas challenge their assumptionsor blow their minds. iWired/i readers are generally familiar with computers and the Internet, but this is definitely not a computer magazineiWired/i wont teach you how to upgrade your RAM. Instead, its a magazine about science, art, adventure, online culture, business, philosophy and bright shiny beautiful gadgets. Each month, more than 2 million smart, savvy readers come to iWired/i for clean, clear writing with a wry twist. br clear="all" br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"What You Can Expect in Each Issue:/font/strong br ul libStart:/b In Start, readers are treated to quick bites of information on everything from provocative innovations (in-flight Wi-Fi, anyone?) and new technologies (who won the DVD format wars?) to cultural shifts (why are Korean schoolgirls buying mini refrigerators?). Looking for tips on touching up your digital pictures or resetting a dislocated shoulder? Start has those, too. The stories are presented in smart, irreverent language with iWired/is signature visual flair. libTest:/b iWired/i has covered gear and gadgets since its very first issue. Every month, Test gives readers the definitive take on the hottest products on the market, from the newest HDTVs to the slimmest notebook computers. The best tech writers in the business put the gear through a rigorous review and rate it from 1 to 10. Mix in iWired/i's trademark visuals and humor and you've got the most useful, entertaining coverage of products anywhere. libPlay:/b Now that popular culture is iWired/i culture, this is the best place to turn for the skinny on whats cool, quirky, and fun. The section kicks off with Playlist: the top 10 newest, coolest things in the iWired/i world. In the rest of Play, editors delve deeper into movies, art, books, games, design, and online entertainment. Plus, it delivers the big picture so readers understand why these things matter. Wondering about cognitive science behind Halo 3? Curious about the cutting-edge engineering that goes into making a Top 40 single? The answers are in Play every month. libEndgame:/b Part contest, part game, and totally engrossing, the Endgame puzzle challenges iWired/i readers to think deeply, both on and off the page. libFeatures:/b Each month, the editors open a window to the future of technology, business, entertainment, science, and culture. We recently devoted 22 pages to the thorny questions to which scientists still don't have answers: Why do we sleep? What causes ice ages? Do forests actually speed up global warming? Other recent topics: How Apple does so well by behaving so badly; the race to build the 100-mile-per-gallon car; 12 ways to supercharge your brain; and how personal genomics could change the way you live. /ul strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Magazine Layout:/font/strong br Outstanding print design is about the seamless integration of compelling stories and fresh ideas with expert typography, arresting photography, and sharp illustration. Inventive visual architecture has been part of the magazines DNA from the beginning. Fifteen years on, iWired/i is still the place to turn for eye-popping images and a style that sets the pace for the rest of the magazine design world. .brbr center Click on any image below to see select pages from iWired/i:br table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" width="75%" tr td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired1S.jpg" /td td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired2S.jpg" /td td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired3S.jpg" /td tr td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired4S.jpg" /td td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired5S.jpg" /td td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired6S.jpg" /td /tr tr td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired7S.jpg" /td td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired8S.jpg" /td td width="33%" align="center" center img border="0" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/Wired9S.jpg" /tr /table /center br/br/ br strongfont face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600"Contributors:/font/strongbr iWired/i editor in chief Chris Anderson, author of iThe Long Tail/i, writes regularly for the magazine.

Great Gift. January 9, 2009
Finding a great gift is a challenge. Having a son that has a passion for technology and computers made this a great gift. The first issue was immediately read cover-to-cover... that says it all!!
 Wired January 9, 2009
I tried to return this (it was a gift but I then found out that the recipient was already receiving it). Got the run-around from both Amazon and Conde Nast (the publisher). I can't seem to get it canceled nor can I get a refund (I've now called both at least twice). Horrible.
 addicted since 1994 December 26, 2008
long time favorite! Just love to stack them every year! I always read wired more than once for sure! And the covers are the best! I'm proud to say I've subscribed for soooo long! Find out first with Wired!
 Needle in a Haystack December 19, 2008
After reading many interesting articles on the Wired website, I figured I'd try the magazine since it is cheap. I won't be renewing that subscription.br /br /There ARE some genuinely interesting, informative, etc articles in the magazine. Unfortunately there are only a few such articles and you'll have to wade through myriad ads, fluff, and pretentious rants to find them.br /br /Better off reading only the interesting articles online for free.
