Wired News is an online technology news website, formerly known as HotWired, that split off from Wired magazine when the magazine was purchased by Condé Nast Publishing in the 1990s. Wired News was owned by Lycos not long after the split, until Condé Nast purchased Wired News on July 11, 2006. Competition from sites like The Drudge Report and The Political Simpleton slightly decreased after the 2006 purchase, due to the increase in advertising revenue. Long separate, the site once again features content from the magazine.

Vaporware Awards[link]

Wired News publishes the Vaporware Awards, awarded to products they consider vaporware. One example is the video game Duke Nukem Forever, which began development in 1997. The game had won Wired News's Vaporware Awards numerous times. It placed second in 2000^[1] and topped the list in 2001^[2] and 2002.^[3] Wired News created the Vaporware Lifetime Achievement Award exclusively for Duke Nukem Forever and awarded it in 2003. George Broussard accepted the award, stating simply, "We're undeniably late and we know it."^[4] It did not make the list in 2004, but Leander Kahney noted that they had received a lot of nominations for the game.^[5] By popular demand, it topped the list again in 2005.^[6] In 2006, Duke Nukem Forever was announced (again) to be in full production, still however without a specified release date.^[7] Wired once again awarded Duke Nukem Forever the first place in 2006, 2007, and 2008. After thirteen years in development, 3D Realms halted production of the game after closing on May 6, 2009, and all employees who worked on DNF had been let go, though 3D Realms continues to state that the game is not dead. StarCraft II has also been nominated to receive a Vaporware Award in the past,^[8] though in February 2010 the closed beta of the game was released for select people to test on the newly revamped Battle.net. The Indrema and Phantom video game consoles won Wired News's top "award" in 2004, and second place in 2005.

Ethics issues and role in Wikileaks affair[link]

This section requires expansion.

Wired News has been widely criticized^[9][10] for its handling of the Adrian Lamo / Bradley Manning logs. Due to access to Adrian Lamo, Wired contributor Kevin Poulsen was able to obtain complete transcripts of the communications between Lamo and Bradley that lead to Manning's arrest over the Wikileaks leaks in 2010. Kevin Poulsen has released approximately one third of the logs, but has faced pressure to release more information after Lamo made various allegations that could only be confirmed by viewing the logs. Poulsen and Wired News editor in chief Evan Hansen refused to do so, protesting that a release of the entire logs would endanger the privacy of unspecified parties. Wired News has not explained why they cannot release only redacted portions that answer the questions about Lamo's allegations.

The issue has become a subject of major controversy,^[11] especially after a response was made by Poulsen and Hansen that attacked Wired News critic Glenn Greenwald while apparently not satisfying those who were asking the questions that lead to the controversy.^[12]

Jason Eugene Terry (born September 15, 1977^[1]) is an American professional basketball player playing with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks. He plays shooting guard, although he also can play point guard. His nickname, "JET," derives from his initials.^[1] Regarded as an effective bench player, he won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 2009.^[2][3][4]

Terry won an NBA Championship as a member of the Dallas Mavericks, when they defeated the Miami Heat in six games on June 12, 2011.

Early life[link]

Jason was born in Seattle, Washington. He was one of ten children raised by his mother, Andrea Cheatham and his father, Curtis Terry.^[1] One of his brothers, Curtis, played college basketball for UNLV. On February 2, 2007 Terry's number (31) was retired at Franklin High School.^[5]

College career[link]

In 1997, Terry won an NCAA Championship with the University of Arizona. His teammates included Mike Bibby, Michael Dickerson, and Miles Simon.^[6] Terry has announced that he would like to be an assistant coach with his old college basketball team once he retires from playing in the NBA.

NBA[link]

Terry was drafted out of the University of Arizona by the Atlanta Hawks in the 1999 NBA Draft as the 10th overall selection. In the 2000–01 season, Terry emerged as the team's best player, averaging 19.7 points and leading the club in steals, assists and free throws made. He played 3,089 minutes. After spending his first five seasons with the Hawks, Terry was traded to the Mavericks just prior to the start of the 2004–05 season. He had a mediocre first few months with the Mavericks but eventually came into his own, putting up solid numbers and by the end of the season earning his spot as the Mavs' number one guard.

In the 2004–05 NBA Playoffs, Terry averaged 17.5 points on 51% shooting while hitting 49% from three-point range in his first playoff run. Yet his team failed to advance to the conference finals, losing its second-round series 4–2 to Nash's Phoenix Suns. In Game 6 of that series Terry got in a confrontation with teammate Dirk Nowitzki, who was frustrated by his own erratic play during the playoffs, for committing the crucial error of backing off of Steve Nash in the final seconds of regulation with his team up by 3, who subsequently hit the 3-point shot to send the game into overtime resulting eventually in the ousting of the Mavericks from the playoffs.^{[citation needed]}

In the final seconds of Game 5 of the 2005–06 NBA Western Conference playoff semi-finals against the San Antonio Spurs, Terry in closeups was shown punching opposing guard and former teammate Michael Finley in the groin.^{[citation needed]} On May 18, 2006, Terry was suspended without pay from Game 6. Despite losing that game, the Mavericks were able to close out the series in Game 7 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. In Game 6 of the 2006 NBA Finals, Terry shot 7 for 25 from the field and 2 for 11 from three-point territory as the cold shooting Mavericks were eliminated in 6 games by the Miami Heat.

On July 1, 2006, after spending only 12 hours on the free-agent market, Terry agreed to a 6-year contract to stay with the Dallas Mavericks.^[7]

Terry won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award in 2009

On May 8, 2011, in a playoff game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Terry tied an NBA playoff record with nine made three pointers. He joined Rex Chapman, Vince Carter, and Ray Allen in achieving this record. Terry missed only one of the three point field goals he attempted.^[8] He finished the game 10 of 14 with 32 points.^[9]

Playing style[link]

On offense, Terry relies mainly on his shooting skills and speed. He is regarded^{[by whom?]} as one of the fastest players in the league, and is an elite three-point shooter. He often pulls up for jump shots off the dribble, making him difficult to guard. He is known^{[by whom?]} as a very streaky player, as his shooting accuracy can change dramatically from game to game. On defense, he is an average on-ball defender, but has great ability to come up with steals which leads to many easy fast break points.

Personal life[link]

Terry and his wife, Johnyika, have four daughters; Jasionna, Jalayah, Jaida and Jasa Azuré.^[10] His younger sister, Lyric, used to live with them in Dallas.^[11]

His cousin is Ron Milus, a secondary coach in the NFL.^[12] Terry has the number 206 tattooed on his chest, the area code of Seattle, his hometown. He also has a tattoo of Underdog. Before the 2010-2011 season, he tattooed the NBA Championship Larry O'Brien trophy on his inner biceps and was vindicated as the Mavericks won the championship.^[11]

Terry is the cousin of Minnesota Timberwolves forward Martell Webster.

International career[link]

Terry was a member of the United States squad for the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia.
