Wired's Boobs Cover

It's disappointing, but the cover symbolizes just how far the magazine and editor Chris Anderson have drifted from what they could have been. Anderson says there's ""not enough high-profile women in the tech industry who are recognizable to sell a cover." Which of course isn't true. And is all the more so not true considering that what makes people high profile is being put on the covers of magazines. Not the other way around. That's why Wired can sell Will Farrell covers, but not Gates or Zuckerberg. I won't be buying Wired magazine any more. Not because of the cover, but because Anderson has basically admitted he doesn't know how to make a living any other way in the new economy besides putting boobs on magazine covers.
