Ive added to an entry on the subject of Stuff Magazine (as I really like gadgets and technology), Ive copied the entire article and highlighted the bits that I added / changed!
Almost as fun as when I added A Mini Presentation to Google Video yesterday, however this one required more concentration.
‘Stuff magazine is a men’s magazine featuring interviews, pictorials, and other articles of interest to a male dominated audience. Published by Dennis Publishing, it is the sister magazine to Maxim, and the two share a similar mission of providing entertainment targeted towards 18 to 30-year-old males whom it attracts with cheesecake pictorials and cover features, humor, trivia, and product reviews of goods such as computers, sports cars, video games, cell phones, etc. The American version of Stuff does not contain nudity, though the photo shoots generally try to get as close to nudity as possible, and at some locations, such as Wal-Mart stores in the U.S. Stuff and its sister men’s magazine Maxim have been considered pornography, and therefore banned. The interviews tend to be with famous actresses, singers, and models and wrestling divas, some of whom have appeared several times over the life of the magazine.
The UK version of the magazine, published by Haymarket Consumer Publications Ltd, is focused mainly on consumer electronics, gadgetry and lifestyle products, such as iPods and fast cars, to computers and men’s clothing. Like its U.S. equivalent, Stuff UK contains a scantily clad women on the front page, but inside there are only 3 or 4 more of her. Thus, in the UK it is not considered “pornography”. There are multiple in depth features, such as product reviews of laptops, digital audio (MP3) players, digital cameras (compact and SLR), as well as advertising. Regular features include an “adrenaline junkie” article, and speculative pages about upcoming technology, such as the last page.
The circulation of Stuff UK is around 92,000 copies a month[citation needed], placing it as best-selling gadget magazine in the UK, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
The producers of the UK version of the magazine also produce weekly ‘podcasts’ which is released every Friday morning. The content includes similar, more up to date content than the magzine. These are usually around 25-30 minutes long and feature news about technology, the podline (where listeners questions are answered), reviews and comparisons of gadgets and an instant expert feature which provides the listener with five interesting points about the selected subject; past instant expert features include ISO and HDMI. Past episodes of the podcast can be found on their site. The podcast is free and is available via iTunes (the Apple site for downloading AAC’s and MP3 audio files) or can be downloaded via their website (www.stuffmag.co.uk) where older episodes are archived. The iTunes option provides higher sound quality, thumbnails and chapter points to provide the listener with easier navigation. Creative Zen owners can use the ZenCast organiser. Regular listeners can also subscribe to future episodes by pasting http://www.stuffmag.co.uk/textfiles/podcast/podcast.xml (AAC files) or http://www.stuffmag.co.uk/textfiles/podcast/podcastmp3.xml (mp3 files) into their Podcast software application or alternatively they could subscribe via iTunes.==External links==

N.B. The page is completely out of my control and can be modified, edited or removed by any other person registered with wikipedia. Hopefully it lasts as the details that I provided were accurate and more up to date than what was there before (after all gadgetry lives move on quickly) and Stuff has been doing the podcasts since the beginning of this year.
