FWIW, I was the "reader" quoted in last year's Wired Vaporware article, and they didn't inform me ahead of time they were going to quote me.
I had made my "nomination" on the day the call-for-submissions article was put online, so I'd be interested to learn if Nate did the same this time around. Mayhap Wired just culled a quote from the first day, then counted succeeding nominations?
