Rating: - Best $10 magazine out there
I subscribe to about 20 magazines and Wired is by far my favorite. Unlike alot of my magazines that 40% of the content is adds there are few adds and lots of info in Wired. The stories are not all tech and nerdy like the title might suggest. I do skip a few pages here and there because the content does not interest me but for the most part i enjoy every page and find the articles to be well written. This is a great gift for under $10

Rating: - Only $5.00 now? - I paid $7.00 and feel like I over paid
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.

Rating: - at least the ads aren't over my head
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.

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 :(
