That's rare, as I'm sure you know.
Pick up a copy of the mag, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Usually, when someone gripes about dated material, with Xbiz in particular, it's because it ran in the mag, then got posted to the web some time later. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's certainly possible.

it can be said that its a generalization to say a restaurant sucks because the 3 times you ate there, the food was terrible... even though you didn't try every single item on the menu. others would call that a safe assumption based on a persistent pattern.
now your boss is saying basically "hey man, shit happens" ... some might say that advertisers and readers expect more and deserve better.
