Comment on Free online preview of How It Works issue 5 by cjayp33

Just want to say a few things

firstly thank you very much for featuring me twice(in a row)in the what people are saying about the magazine, it was surprising to see me appear not once, but twice.

i love the human body/organ articles and animal ones the most, so please can we have some more of those.

also i like the GCSE/A level topics you cover more then the stuff which you don’t learn at school, e.g inside blackberries for example, so more of them type articles and guides/diagrams would be good.

one last thing, i love the history section more then the transport/technology pages(least favourite), however it seems the most of the articles bar one or two per issue are really short, i wish they were longer although that’s probably because you don’t have more information. I also like the general history stuff (Tudors, Stuarts) eg. the Roman soldiers,Colosseum , medial castles, and would love it, if you could feature more on that and less on the other things e.g the leviathan bridge. i am also disheartened to see, it has less pages then the other sections and is where the most adverts adverts are why is this?

loving issue 5 so far, its looking like the best yet, with a great range of features i am interested in(even the f1 was cool, even though i am not a fan) so keep up the great work.

Comment on An early prototype of the V-22 Osprey – 40 years earlier! by Lyndon

Oh what could have been. Why on earth did this project ultimately get nowhere. If you look at aircraft being developed in the ’50s and early ’60s they are amazing. They were extremely innovative back then. Now however all aircraft, especially civillian, look the same. Where did it all go wrong ? I suppose in Britian we can blame Duncan Sandys, BOAC and witless governments. Mind you we were skint after WWII.

Brilliant.

Comment on The iPad’s secrets revealed by Andre

That’s the point. You won’t save money in the long run, because you will be buying another device real soon. The iPad lacks too much functionality to be considered a computer. If they treat this like the iPhone (new device released almost yearly), then you’ll end up spending a lot more.

Around $500 and completely not worth it for the reasons stated above unless they fix those glaring oversights before launch.

Love the magazine. My daughter got me a sub. for christmas. Have done or
will you do a piece on the Horton 235, Nazi Germany’s flying wing aircraft?
It think it would be of interest to a lot of people.

Comment on What are saturn’s rings made of? by Robert Stepp

Robert Stepp — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:59:57 +0000

Some corrections. The rings are mostly made of water ice. The main rings are about 30 feet thick. When viewed edge on, some vertical formations have been seen to pile up in bumps up to 2 miles tall. The rings are being replenished and shepherded by various moons. There is no geyser emanating from Saturn’s south pole or anywhere else on Saturn.
