Dear Wired Magazine / Chris Anderson
Over the past couple of years, we've enjoyed a love / hate relationship havn't we.
I love the new and interesting stories that you research and write and cover topics that others don't.
What I hate is the fact that despite triumphing the best in technology and innovation, it is seemingly impossible for you to be able to send a magazine outside of the USA without managing to lose them.
So far since subscribing in August 2008, you managed to only successfully deliver 2 issues and lost 5 which is not great. Granted you finally got them to me, but months after they hit the news stands
So lets start afresh....
You stop coming up with lame excuses about distributors and get me and I'll stop hasseling those poor people in customer service who I am sure are fed up of hearing from a moaning Brit

Where did all the money go?
The Guardian newspaper created a great graphic that explains where all the money went in the credit crunch. Perhaps the most scary thing is that actual amount of cash held by individuals and banks worldwide is $3.9 trillion whereas the total 'value' of all assets held at their peak was 290 trillion and these are falling past.
These include the toxic assets such as the derivatives and all the other wonderful financial instruments people decided to event.
The graphic can be seen here
