So what’s the deal? Wired magazine is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and as part of the festivities, it has released a digital edition (for iPad) of the very first issue of the magazine, originally released in January, 1993 — as issue 1.1, which turns into 1.1.1 for this digital re-release. Who made it? The same [...]

The big promise of Newsstand was that new issues would be downloaded in the background, ready to be read when you turn your iPad on. Lots of titles are now included as part of Newsstand, but so far, I’ve yet to ever see any magazine that is built on the Adobe DPS tools automatically download [...]

This is a follow-up to what I posted last week about having problems downloading the new issue of Wired. Please note that I don’t write this to troll anyone, but I want this information to be out on the web for anyone else who might encounter the same problem. To quickly recap, when I saw the [...]

What is it with Conde Nast and its apps on iPad? First it was The New Yorker that was constantly giving me a headache when trying to download new issues — something that has, mostly, been rectified since the latest app update — and now it’s Wired. I’ve been trying to download the new issue [...]

Take a look at the image on the left. That’s a screenshot from an article in last month’s issue of Wired on iPad (19.10). I wanted to point this out because it’s not the first time I see an article that is horribly rendered like this, and I’m astounded that we’re still seeing this kind [...]

I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but I’ve been having issues with subscriptions on iPad of late. Never mind the fact that all of the Conde Nast apps are constantly asking me with a pop-up window whether I want to “restore my purchases” every time I open the app, I’m getting other strange [...]

This is just a simple thing, but it’s also another example of why I enjoy digital editions of magazines. It’s Saturday, I wake up rather late. I go to the kitchen, get the coffee maker going. I then go back to my futon (I live in Japan, remember), grab my iPad, and am greeted with [...]

I know it’s a lazy blog thing to do, but I think I need to start doing regular round-ups of news bits that I tweet about or just don’t have time to prepare an entire post for — and besides, everyone loves quick rounds-ups! What happens when the UK edition of The Apprentice dives into [...]

It’s been interesting to see how Conde Nast is doing subscriptions. As I mentioned the other day, I’ve subscribed to The New Yorker using the monthly $6 option, which renews automatically (you can stop anytime). Now, by doing this you’re still getting a good deal, yet you don’t have to commit for an entire year (although that [...]
