	<htmltext>Today, back in 1902 Henry Haven Windsor published the <a href="http://www.wired.com/thisdayintech/2010/01/0111popular-mechanics-debuts">first issue of Popular Mechanics</a>, helping to empower geeks of future generations with straightforward explanations of scientific and mechanical advances.  <i>"The magazine has reported both the brilliant and ridiculous ideas of its times, depending on the writer, scientist or editor. It once published an article about a Philadelphia physician who supposedly used X-rays to turn blacks into whites: probably not a great editorial decision. Betting on blimps over planes for so long might not have been advisable, and hyping excessive consumption during the birth of the environmental movement in the 1960s also rates a demerit.  But beyond those probable transgressions, Popular Mechanics paved the way for the people&rsquo;s incursion into science&rsquo;s once-exclusive domain. Its longevity argues that science and its sometimes inscrutable possibility have raw mass appeal &mdash; even if the subject is cars with steering wheels in the back seat or self-diagnosing appliances."</i></htmltext>

"The magazine has reported both the brilliant and ridiculous ideas of its times, depending on the writer, scientist or editor.

Betting on blimps over planes for so long might not have been advisable, and hyping excessive consumption during the birth of the environmental movement in the 1960s also rates a demerit.
But beyond those probable transgressions, Popular Mechanics paved the way for the people’s incursion into science’s once-exclusive domain.
Its longevity argues that science and its sometimes inscrutable possibility have raw mass appeal — even if the subject is cars with steering wheels in the back seat or self-diagnosing appliances.

	<htmltext>I used to collect Popular Mechanics and Popular Science in the days of my misspent youth, but after a few years I noticed that the technologies and products that they covered had a habit of never actually being implemented/practical in real life (kinda reminds me of Wired and Omni in that fashion as well)...

The anti-gravity technology article [http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/1281736.html] was the last straw and after that I gave up reading PM and PS altogether....

After canceling I began to favor magazines of a much more technical and sophisticated field and by that I mean video gaming...Although, come to think of it, after Duke Nukem Forever's cancellation was announced I've been thinking about canceling my PC Gamer too...</htmltext>
