Posted on September 8, 2008By rhaggartIn Blog NewsLots of hype and people reporting on this (here) and (here) and (here).

Probably an idea of the art dept which got everybody exited first but decision makers only agreed to the ridiculous thing out now. Feels to me like the last thing the world of magazines needed. Link

But for the tech-crazed public, it might be enough to draw some positive attention to the magazine. It’s not a long-term solution, but it does say that the magazine is willing to try something out.
