I somehow ended up with a wired subscription for a year or maybe two in maybe 2007ish. I don't know that it was activism focused then, but it certainly wasn't software development focused.

More like breathless reporting on niche technology as if it will change the world... But it rarely did.

2007 was an interesting year for tech, and whatever one thinks of Apple, most agree that the iphone was a leap forward.

However that doesn’t give enough content to fill 2 years of subscription.

The founder even responded to it, which means it hit a nerve.
