- Condé Nast Buys Wired News ★
-
Lycos sold Wired News (the web site) to Condé Nast, publishers of Wired (the magazine). The fact that they’ve been separate entities for the past eight years is one of those things I’m sure non-media-junkies had no idea about, but I’ve always thought it was an incredibly awkward situation for the magazine. This is great news for both Wired and Wired News.

Paul Graham:
It can be hard to separate the things you like from the things you’re impressed with. One trick is to ignore presentation. Whenever I see a painting impressively hung in a museum, I ask myself: how much would I pay for this if I found it at a garage sale, dirty and frameless, and with no idea who painted it? If you walk around a museum trying this experiment, you’ll find you get some truly startling results. Don’t ignore this data point just because it’s an outlier.
