Now I'm getting tired of those cliches e.g "X is the new Y" and the like. Where can I get some journalism that doesn't fall for this?
Fall for what? The temptation to express ideas using common memes? Good luck finding any publication where no writer ever gets lazy and uses cliched forms of expression. (Also, if you're looking for really engineer-friendly technical writing, Wired is probably not the place to turn.)
That's unfortunate, because I assumed it was something nano-related, which sounded much more exciting than... uhh, rubber iPhone covers or whatever this is.
