By recently, do you mean 2005?

No kidding on 2005. I now only associate this magazine for mostly wannabe managers who want to read some entry-level article (likely while on an airplane), who go into their next monthly meeting spouting off what they passively read with little real understanding of the subject.
I once owned most of the Wired magazines from 1995-1999. I stupidly sold them on eBay.
I had a subscription for a long time, I think I cancelled in 2008 after being unhappy for a while.

The worst one was Scientific American, I loved that one, and it dove worse.

Around that time I bought two or three issues (of the italian edition) due to it being often cited. I wasn't thrilled at all.

It honestly seemed like it was written by some recently-graduated (so like a twenty-something) tech enthusiast. A lot of willingness to spend moneys on the latest gizmos, a lot of advertising, very little interesting pieces (and none of them went any deep on the topic).
