Not sure why you're getting downranked. It's a strange world when someone complaining about the number of Apple posts is getting upranked.

I mean, we've been complaining about this for years and nothing is gonna change, can't people just accept it, or move on and do something more productive?

Also, just remember that Engadget commenters are not representative of the larger readership]]>Jun 13th 2010 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/
Just scroll past that article... Unless you're paying for an engadget subcription or for the ap, I don't see why you're complaining.

Anyway, not only is the price silly, amazon was having a huge sale on mag subscriptions last week (might still be going on) and this magazine and a bunch of others somewhat related to it were on the list. I think it was between 10 and 15 bucks for a full year....

I agree that Vdek has a right to opinion and downranking someone over opinion isn't right, but that wasn't the case. Ducman was just making a joke, and here we are makin' a big deal out of it.

Part of me thinks, eh people will realise this ipad thing (and paying for content that's free in websites which you can perfectly well read on any tablet pc) is just a fad, and it'll stop selling.

then the sane part of me realises that if any company has the marketing power to somehow bring back a *consumer demand* for 90s magazines-on-cdrom, it's sure as hell apple.

(and this is posted from... no, thankfully not an ipad... but a mac, still)]]>Jun 13th 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/
Heres the thing, sometimes, like with the Kin, or like with the iPad as a "productivity device" he is totally and completely wrong. But even when he is right, the articles aren't exactly insightful.

$5 for an issue of a magazine plastered with ads is too much? No shit. ]]>Jun 13th 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/

Not every no. The Wired one is 500 MB, that's a pretty hefty chunk considering the iPad storage sizes. The features and video are nice but needs to be balanced... Imagine 500 MB for every magazine you read?]]>Jun 13th 2010 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/
While rife with ads, it does contain a lot of interactive features and tons of video content. As a concept, pretty cool and enjoyable. Practicality/price.. another issue.]]>Jun 13th 2010 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/
It seems like one of two things could be done. Not to beat a dead horse but having a browser that can support more web sites would be a start. Flash is here and doesn't look to be going anywhere right away.

Second, in leiu of Flash support how about keeping the content in "the cloud"? Why do I need to download the magazine content to the iPad? Can the application be made to access the same content that is already on their web site? Even if it meant having Flash and non-Flash versions of some content that seems better to me than having to download large files for each magazine.

It would also be better for "archiving" purposes too. Having the content in the cloud would allow me to reread articles some other time down the road.]]>Jun 14th 2010 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/

Not true. Have you even tried the Wired app? It's 500 MB and all-included.

As far as the navigating the app, give me a break. Its a non issue. What are we in the stone ages? The same "confusing" ui issues could be brought up with mouse and keyboard. Despite the mouse and Kb being around forever there are still people who dont know how to use them properly.

Marvel Comics has the same problem.

These big media companies needs to get their pricing under control.

Another curious question, if I bought an issue of the magazine, read it and passed it onto you to read or photocopy (as a friend), that's perfectly fine for personal use, right. What about in the digital world? If I purchased the app and "shared" the .ipa with you, is it alright for you to install it (via crack/jailbreak) or not...? And why?]]>Jun 13th 2010 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Seriously?
There is NO indication if you can scroll down the pages, or only sideways.. it's trial & error testing!
The 'interactive' features are scrolling JPG's. it's a FLOP!

It's a PNG viewer at best, with a few ACC files and a Movie to play.

But then again, they had it all done in Flash with Adobe, and then came Apple saying they can't port Flash over.. Maybe they should just have done it right from the start - and not been using Flash...]]>Jun 13th 2010 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/Jun 13th 2010 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/13/entelligence-wired-or-tired/
For instance I share legal MP3 files with my friends, and I believe that's right, but instances such as a copy of CS5 or a movie, that's a different story.]]>Jun 13th 2010 6:03PM
