MIT Tech Review is no longer associated with MIT. The name is historical vestige. It's just another magazine like Popular Science.

that's not correct, they are owned by MIT.

Thanks you're right. The important idea I was remembering is that they have no editorial connection to the university; they're just an investment.

It's part of the trend of MIT and many other venerable institutions cashing out their reputation instead of building on it.

Weird that they wouldn't protect their trademark

Not sure that "no longer associated with MIT" is exactly right.

"our coverage is independent of any influence, including our ownership by MIT."
