WTD: Wired Magazine’s View

My Worth The Dough postings have been opinions by me, the consumer, on whether a product is worth my hard-earned cash to purchase.

He even goes on to talk about other industries like the military and medical field and how the most advanced and full featured products and services aren’t always the best or most useful. I thought it was an interesting read so check it out!
