Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one. – A.J. Lieblin

This quote is listed on MagCloud, an HP Labs research project that allows anyone to publish a magazine by uploading a PDF.

The service uses HP Indigo technology that allows for printing on demand in high quality color on 80lb paper with saddle-stitched covers. There are a few things I would be curious to use this service for, such as presentations or developer/designer tutorials for web design, photoshop, ruby on rails, or even Salesforce.com.

Currently, publisher accounts are invitation only but you can register for an invite on the login page. What magazine would you create?

That's it. What Next?
