I do not read any newspapers or magazines anymore, unless I happen to go to the doctors or something, but this new technology seems pretty neat.
The first-ever video advertisement will be published in a traditional paper magazine in September.
from the BBC

Will any of you be buying this issue? I hope those that do will report back.

I can't help thinking of all the top (er shelf) ways this technology could be used. Pretty amazing stuff.

    Seems and expensive and unnecessary technology to me, and just how will they recycle it all.

    Is it just me or do an awful lot of recent technological advances (satellite telly, the web, 3G phones, DVDs, etc., etc.) ultimately seem to end up propagating electronic versions of jazz mags? Not a Daily Blackmail "Ban This Sick Filth" type rant, merely an observation.

    go further back....VHS basically beat Betamax (arguably a better format than VHS) because sony didn't want the ahem..adult entertainment industry using their products.....

    The same happened recently with Blueray, only for the industry to finally realise how much money they'll make in royalties (as I think everytime a DVD, CD and so on are made a small fee goes to the company that designed the format). All your fave are now out on blueray in glorious detail...


    ..but do you REALLY want that much detail in that sort of material? :wink::lol:
