But I don't really mind. The reason I pick up Cosmo every month is to see what's new, and the ads are pretty "targeted" I would say. I guess it's different for tech related magazines.

I'm surprised anyone still buys them when you can get the same information online, when it breaks, and for free. Dan. Magazines are a dying breed.

That, and they still use a CD to distribute their software, so <acronym title="I never thought I'd ever say that">there's almost nothing on it</acronym>.

Wired operates with the idea that the magazine is cheap, but there will be a lot of ads...Even with the ads, you're getting 70+ pages of conent (for a dollar an issue). It's their business model - and it's working. What you don’t realize is that Wired magazine costs $12.00 a year to subscribe to, which is much less than other magazines with the same content.

At least 10 of those were at the back though which isn't quite so bad. First 11 pages in a magazine doesn't give a very good impression!
