The title is trolling. The press release describes a service where people can subscribe to Wired (and other publications) and have them printed in home rather than receive them by mail.
At first brush I agree that this sounds like a terrible idea, but it isn't what the headline makes it out to be.
- lewispb 15y agoI didn't intend for the title to be trolling. When I first read this I couldn't believe it was a genuine press release. The idea of HP launching a "printing magazines at home" and then send you ink to do it on a subscription basis seems absurd to me.
- bradleyland 15y agoIt seems absurd to you, but I know several people who will be very excited about this. They don't read on their computer; they print web pages and carry them around in a folder to read later. Strange to you and I, but exactly what some people want.
