'Wired' Produces Short Films for iPad

Wired, the magazine about the intersection of technology and culture, launched its iPad edition in June with a buffet of multimedia, including videos, audio and interactive graphics.
 
With its August issue, it’s going one step further, producing original short films that are available exclusively on the iPad.
 
For the films — there are four — Wired got comic Will Ferrell to spoof once-anticipated inventions for the 21st century, like ray guns and jet packs. The films are tied to the August cover subject, “The Future That Never Happened.”
