Future Publishing CEO and CFO quit

@stiqlol

and they are better looking too. Better layouts, cooler designs with more info.

@arkweld
Well, that's capitalism, folks.

I think you're speaking a little too broadly - Future is just on publishing company that doesn't understand what to do with their publishing process in a digital age. Magazines aren't dead - in fact, many are thriving on tablets, but that's because they're changing.

I subscribe to Wired, and they take a much more editorial / journalistic approach to content. You really never know what you're going to get when that mag shows up in your mailbox, but you can bet they took time to research sometime and talk to people that matter regarding a given subject. The content has value, and that's what makes Wired so good even in a digital age.

The reason Future is failing is because their content has neither value nor relevance. They offer the same news as everywhere else with overly biased writers and a slower pace - what do they expect?

Actually they do digital versions of everything they print.
Problem is, they're *awful*. I tried out the iPad edition of Edge recently, and it was a load of static images you pan around. No intelligent zoom, no links, not even a functioning table-of-contents, just a bunch of dumb jpegs (half) baked into an app. When the copy I purchased mysteriously disappeared from the device, I tried getting it back, failed, and was secretly *grateful* I wouldn't have to finish ploughing my way through the damn thing.
