Discs gone? eh?

So discs are so "20th Century" then?

Well, that's sure to happen any day now. Let me just get into my flying car and eat my pill-meal and I'll get right back to you on that one.

Exactly.

I mean, so what if discs are dead or not? What am I supposed to do with this so-called information, take this into account when deciding on investing in "disc futures" or something?

This magazine and all in its over-glossed, over-stylized, overly popularized class on a wide range of topics, including such fare as Time, Newsweek and their ilk all do the same useless thing. They take an idea or a bit of information and expound upon it with lots of over-wrought and flowery verbiage that lends little if any knowledge or understanding of the topic. Every time I do succumb to the temptation, I find myself feeling cheated for having wasted the time and effort to read these articles instead of doing just about anything else!

Wired seems to be the ultimate example of this.
