Popular Science---How 2.0---sucked....

Post by Pickles taste great! »

Sorry to say, but when I got my issue of Popular Science, and looked in How 2.0, I was not impressed with the SNESp article. It gave a diagram. Yes, a diagram. Nothing else but a diagram and an inventory. It gave no instructions whatsoever and all it seemed to say was stuff about you, Ben. Sorry, but no soup for you.

Yeah an populaur science has like 15 pages in it they aren gonna tell bens whole portable story becuase that would take up too many pages and the instructions are covered in his book so I wouldn't expect them in a magazine 15 pages long. But hey I think its really cool ben got into populaur science magazine.

Consdiering yes there is a book why the hell would the company publishing it give out the containts to everyone. Its ment to wet your whistle so that you are interested in buying the book.
Otherwise if you want a magazine that has the howto buy the Extreme tech one then, theres a thread in the NES 8bit forum where a new member said thats where he got the howto from.

I like that better! lol
As for the PopSci, I suppose it would have been nice to see a little background on the portablizationing projects we're working on (specifically...Ben's. Maybe an interview or somthin'. I dunno...), but I'm just happy to see the word getting out.
We should all be thanking Ben for his hard work. He started the portablizationing world. Gave us a website. Gave us a forum. Wrote us a book. Got a magazine article. Gave us his right arm...

Thanks Ben. I owe ya one. Quite a large one. How does my first born child sound?:wink:

Ask anyone who knows me in real life, I'm an uber-capitalist.

Well, sorry to burst your bubbles, but the How 2.0 section is for instructions, not advertisments. If you are going to filth up a science magazine with capitalist tricks, then either you are really mean or you are very desperate! Probably both...

Yeah your just digging a whole saying stuff like that. And anyways Im pretty sure populaur science asked ben if he wanted to do an article in their magazine its not like he called them up and asked for marketing space.
