  • Dadich Is Not Anti-HTML

    —

    ,

    Wired magazine’s creative director — and overseer of Conde Nast’s digital strategy — Scott Dadich recently gave a talk at the OFFSET 2010 festival in Dublin. His talk of course focused on the successful iPad edition of Wired and the collaboration with Adobe, but I found the following bit (from Creative Review’s event report) to…

  • Here and There

    —

    If you’re in town and are looking to pick up some great Japanese indie magazines, you’ll definitely need to start by picking up whatever issue you can find of Nakako Hayashi’s Here and There. The latest issue — Vol. 10, “The Blue Issue” — was just released, and Papersky regular Cameron Allan Mckean was copy…

  • Wired Is Disoriented

    —

    , ,

    Today finally marked the release of Wired‘s October issue on iPad — as I noted yesterday, it’s later than usual — and I of course have a few things to say. First off, they again go ahead with their trick of making you update the app to get the new issue instead of just using…

  • Time, Inc. Overcharging iPad Magazines in Japan

    —

    ,

    Even though I rather like the way Time magazine is presented on iPad — at least the way it was back in June when I purchased an issue — my biggest gripe has always been the pricing. I just feel that $5 an issue is not good business, and it will never make sense to…
