Content/Accuracy
Everything in the magazine should be accurate, but there’s always the possibility we got something wrong. If you find something that’s not right, please let us know.

Please don’t reproduce our content without our consent. If you’d like to do that, please give us a heads up and I’m sure we can work something out. We like people reading our stuff, and if you ask, we’ll probably say yes.
Unlike most magazines, we definitely endorse everything we run. All of the products you find in this magazine are awesome, and you should definitely buy and/or use them. If we don’t agree with something, we don’t print it.
