I have a huge problem with this edition of IEEE spectrum. It seems as if the editor tried to turn the version of IEEE spectrum into a political activist magazine (it is supposed to be a technical magazine for electronic and electric engineers covering technological developments, etc…).
The main article in that edition is “Powerless in Gaza” which is more political than technical (even if it were technical, it is not relevant).
Another article is supposed to be about Finland’s nuclear waste disposal system (by Sandra Upson) – which could have been extremely interesting if it wasn’t for the author’s completely unscientific anti-nuclear rant. This ridiculous article was discussed elsewhere: http://www.theresilientearth.com/?q=content/crank-week-december-14-2009-sandra-upson http://www.theresilientearth.com/?q=content/crank-week-decem...
The “Math Quiz: Why do men predominate” is also one of those political articles. What is worse, the final page that is supposed to contain data, contains a graph that is illegible and data that doesn’t support the premise.
Worst IEEE Spectrum edition ever (in all fairness, it was a December edition).
