Unlike music and video, though, most of the problems of delivering text and ads have already been figured out -- via the browser. Unless they're planning on shrouding their content in magical DRM that they expect to also be completely interoperable, in which case, best of luck with that.

I have no clue if this is a previously agreed upon partnership thing or if they're treating all external links like this but it looks pretty lame.

Jiminy, that's a good looking site.

Sadly, no the entire archive, which you need to be a subscriber for, but every web article published since 1995 is up

"We just needed to scan the issues and align the scans to the data." JUST!

Cisco, of all folks, built the new tech, which probably explains why the design is so bad.

157 years worth of archives, clever topics system, all yours for the low low price of $17/yr, plus you get a dead tree edition

Looks really sharp, not sharp enough to make me subscribe to TIME, though

The Economist sets up a skunkworks project to come up with a Next Big Thing by July. They've got a staff of six and $200,000

I mostly like it, sorta Morning Newsish, but really, you just can't wait to read what Kottke thinks

Philips is paying Time $5 million to put the table of contents of several magazines on page 1, where it belongs

Rad

I keep forgetting to subscribe to this and unsubscribe from Spin

$60/yr seems a bit steep (that's more than I pay for The New Yorker) but interesting all the same

Beautiful looking Adobe/Mac mag
