Biased Triad
The Inquirer ran an article/review on The ineffable whoredom of technical reviews. Read the first half, some very good points in there about how biased tech reviews are today.
This reminded me of a piece a read a while back on Mikhailtech, called Computer Hardware Websites Today, which discusses how much of today's amateur tech "journalism" really works. There's a Follow-up as well, which really puts things into perspective. The lesson to be learned? Always take everything you read or hear with a grain (or a bucket) of salt, and you'll be fine.
