thank apps

Bogus use of statistics still alive and well.

i literally could not get more than one paragraph into that article before i fell asleep

this is even being posted from a dream

you guys arent even real

But it says you murdered the web, s1ocki. Or maybe THEY did.

Or maybe Wired are so desperate for page views that they say an-y-thing?

Haha, you actually beat me, halfway through the first sentence I just instinctively closed the tab.

xpost You heartless cynic.

yeah but there would be enough pageviews for everyone if the web wasn't dying.

xp lol!

i wonder if sandra bullock got out in time

oh wait that's THE NET

RIP. You will be missed.

heaven needed a bunch of wildly popular shit i didn't understand

Oh man, sorry Wired, I so can't read white on a red background. I hope the print issue doesn't do this. (I am the kind of dork that has a print subscription to Wired.)

wired is such a drag

Anyway, control+f for "CueCat" brought up nothing so I'm not sure that they're really covering the right issues here (RIP CueCat).

You wake up and check your email on your bedside iPad — that’s one app. During breakfast you browse Facebook, Twitter, and The New York Times — three more apps. On the way to the office, you listen to a podcast on your smartphone. Another app. At work, you scroll through RSS feeds in a reader and have Skype and IM conversations. More apps. At the end of the day, you come home, make dinner while listening to Pandora, play some games on Xbox Live, and watch a movie on Netflix’s streaming service.

Ok this issue of Wired has a two page ad for "Magazines," telling you that magazines are good.

So it's an ad in a magazine, suggesting that you should have bought a different magazine instead?

haha they run those in the New Yorker too

It's like buying a roll of toilet paper, and the last sheet on the roll is an advert telling you that you should have bought a different and better brand. Possibly a brand that has more sheets on the roll.

I miss the web

However, it's always good to remind people that the Internet does not = WWW.

The ad for "Magazines" is in the style of candy bar posters from junior high, a sentence nobody would really make designed to string together pictures of magazines like Lucky and Cosmopolitan and Veranda, using their title like words. Then at the bottom it says something like "Magazines: they are what you read."

RIP...the web.

read this... very stupid article. the economist actually backlashed against the wire's claim in the last issue before the latest. i mean they definitely have points (corporate success, indie demise) but otherwise the claim that "THE WEB IS DEAD" is ridiculous and just sort of trolling for a buy. i mean, the bright orange cover, the gigantic font. it really should've read "THE WEB IS BECOMING CENTRALIZED, AND THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING, BUT WHATEVZ, WE NEED SOME PROVOCATIVE SHIT TO SAY THIS MONTH"

get fucked

on it
