WIRED stats

Some interesting (or at least I thought so) stats from the latest issue of WIRED Magazine. Of the total 366 pages, a little over half, 200 are advertisments. Of the remaining 166 pages of ‘editorial’ content, 16 are basically unpaid ads for the products the cover.

I haven’t compared these numbers to other magazines, and I’m not really complaining (no one forced me to buy it), but it seems that WIRED is the Christmas Wish Book of the new milllenniyumyum.

About 50 of those editorial pages are dedicated to a fine history of the U.S. vs. Microsoft case which I would recommend reading (I’d like to it if it existed online – sigh).
