Does that mean that if TV calls us "seamonkey breeders", then we're "seamonkey breeders"?
"Informative" TV is mostly produced by clueless sensationalists for the mindless majority of the public. Next thing you know we're gonna have "hackers" (angry script kiddies) fighting it out on Jerry Springer.
I can't help but think of this as something that would happen on The Simpsons; complete with a whole comical gov't coverup, Kent Brockman doing some stupid coverage, and Homer stranded on the moon (hey, he almost got stranded in space once.)
In part of his article, he mentions that Wired has gone from covering the culture and politics of the net to covering the business aspects of it. This is so sadly true.
Most new issues of Wired that I buy are filled with stories about business: interviews with people who made it big; features on companies that made it big; stories about companies that might make it big.
I started reading Wired mainly for the cultural aspect of it, not business. I personally dislike the whole business world, it bores me beyond comparison.
There used to be a time when I wouldn't miss a single issue of Wired, but nowadays I have to try to convince myself to buy it at the newsstand because nothing inside really grabs at my attention and catches it.
I can make a personal recommendation for those who have been driven away: a little magazine based out of Toronto called Shift. It's been around for 7 years, mainly underground, but it's received a bit of a push this year. It's difficult to find outside of Canada, but look at the website anyway. It's become my new "must read" magazine.
I read the article at WIRED News, and they said that along with the Apple I, a Lisa and GLM were being auctioned off. I've never heard of this "Apple GLM" before, they say it was a prototype. I'd love to know what this machine was (or was supposed to be.) Anyone have any clue? No one else seems to...

Personally I'd never dream of selling such an item, I have this tendancy to keep every single piece of electronics I get.
It's resting safely in my room now, next to the Apple IIe, though I still can't locate my old Sinclair/Timex 2000.

Better Apple than some other crazed companies that I don't wish to mention.
