Wired News URL Gaff

I've had Wired News bookmarked at the address http://www.wired.com/news for years. If you read their news regularly, you might have that URL [WikiPedia] bookmarked too.

A couple of weeks ago, a click to that URL started giving me page timeouts, 404 Not Found messages, 403 Forbidden messages, etc. I figured their server crapped out over the holiday weekend, and that it would return soon.

I just discovered that Wired moved their news to the front page of http://www.wired.com, but they did not redirect people from the old link. Isn't is incredible that the once premier magazine for internet culture can't properly manage their own links these days?
