Sorry Sean, I can't agree with you on that one. These guys write a magazine, they're journalists and buisness people. Sure, they let some of the technical types put in their bit but their focus is selling magazines. And if that isn't enough I think the whole PDF thing is a ploy to encourage people to buy the paper version. They can always plug the hole in the website but I bet you would have a very hard time 'aquiring' (sp?) a free copy of the paper version every month, or even back issues for that matter.
By and large the stuff in the mag is very good.
