I have many friends at Wired and I think it is a testament to them - and their contested situations of a company - that they'd wash their dirty laundry in public ... even if it was an impromptu visit to the laundromat. http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/05/18/welcome-wired-we-cal.html The Wired discussion through the comments section is fantastic.

Some of it is quite badly written: "Dan didn’t work in the New Yorker office, where he discovered they whisper all the time in his several times a year office visits from his home in Boulder, CO, but he failed to integrate himself into the culture that is the New Yorker and blames his demise on that sad reality of magazine life." "Wired, another Condé magazine was written up Sunday in the NYTimes (here), because they have the dubious of being both award winning and advertising losing." Sincerely, Andy With all due respect:

It's a masterpiece. Also saw that most of the reporting work was completed already. This looks like a proposal to get paid to write the story in the publication's style. They are so much more than "Hey I think I have a good idea. Why don't you pay me to see if there is something there." Read the “Jake Leg” blues medical mystery proposal. It’s a masterpiece.
