The best long (56page) wired article is the famous Neal Stephenson piece on fibre optic cables http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/4.12/ffglass_pr.html

Oh, thanks for that. Its not the length, its the writing. Stephenson can do reportage, Mr Curry is letting us see the joins a little I think.

Web application: if anyone is looking for a Web application idea, how about something like readability that can spit out web pages as PDF files formatted to A6 with no margin and a choice of font size? Ideal for book readers.
