Sounds like someone should write a query letter to Wired about all of the
real world world realities although I think Wired likes to talk about the
new and the cutting edge instead of the tried and true and what actually
works. I don't blame them for their coverage of new technologies, but I
would fault them for their lack of accuracy and understanding of PV.
