Wired releases photos for public use under Creative Commons license

This is such an awesome news, I’m gonna scour Wired’s Flickr stream as soon as I get to the office. Some conditions of the licensing terms:

Placing our photos under CC BY-NC license means that designated images are free for all to republish, with minor restrictions, as follows:

  • Photos must be properly attributed to the photographer and Wired.com, and we ask for a link back to the original story where the photo first appeared.
  • We welcome editorial use by bloggers or any other publisher, but we are not authorizing commercial use, like using one of our photos in an advertisement.
  • Remixes and mashups are allowed.

You can’t use photos from the printed magazine, only the ones made available on the Flickr stream and make sure the photos you want have the CC mark on them. Yay Wired!

    iPod touch web ad

    The other day I was alerted about this iPod touch ad on IGN.com.

    Today I discovered a version of it that ran on wired.com

    Both are essentially the same ads playing around with the elements of each website. Cute. Reminds me of the old Get a Mac ad on the New York Times website.
