The loss of the detailed colophon is indicative of the change of priorities at wired...
regarding sp's comment that it used to be good - yeah...it was so much better.
I went to a small talk with one of the associate editors from wired who was basically brought in from New York magazine (and a stint at GQ) to redesign the style of the mag to a more 'blurb' styled mag with lots of product placement (he was chosen because thats basically what all city mags do).
he talked about the new style, with lots of short, product related boxed clips, etc. he said that wired basically had to do that to survive - people dont read long articles.
I wanted to say that he made the magazine a spineless toilet rag (which is where most of mine reside now), but I held my tounge.
remember those beatiful 3-5 page design spreads that used to grace the first pages? I loved those...
