A better description would be “but could do nothing to prevent the shenanigans happening in the room”. Localized Debauchery makes no sense!

Sold out for a freakin’ Sony ad. How sad.

@brian If you look closely at the bottle, it has disabled the car to prevent drunk driving, and the phone to prevent drunk dialing, but has done nothing to prevent the shenanigans happening in the room.

what does localized debauchery mean?! I think the OP was trying to say drinking by yourself.. but localized debauchery is such a contrived term. Too original OP!

Right on! I was flipping through my latest Wired and was about to send them a congratulatory email for printing something like 10 pages of articles with no ads, when I noticed that Found was gone. Now I’m going to send an angry email. Found was the feature I always looked forward to. I’ve seen a few changes to the magazine format, but Found has been there as long as I have subscribed. I don’t know why they would take it out.

There was one artifact that had a picture of the Amazon Kindle, big color screen, but it was not listed above. Anyone know what magazine it might have come from?

I hope PopSci/PopMech picks this up. They really like future-speculating articles as well, and do it a bit more thoroughly than their cynical WiRED counterparts.

Futurists are a dime a dozen, and the fact that Wired is more of a consumerist rag for hawking the wares of their advertisers first and the readers last it is no suprise…

I just wish they would quit making their magazine.

It is the first thing I look for in each Wired issue. This month there was only an ad for a stupid Sony Vaio laptop. I would like to see that section return.

Aw for crying out loud, it’s one of the things that WIRED does best, exploring the social aspects and consequences of advancing technology, mixed with style. This was a flagship feature. I hope they come to their senses or at least host reader-submitted Found: images.
