Well after reading THG review of the ABIT IC7-G, I was really surprised at such a shoddy, rushed review of a board that is great. I was surprised at the rushed review and ranking they gave it. It truly is the best Canterwood board out now, (please don't start flaming me) and this was confirmed for the most part by the AT review. Anyway, I read THG daily as they usually have pretty good articles on most PC News/Hardware, etc. I read it more often as AnandTech is updated a lot less frequently than Tom's.
This weekend I read with great interest THG articles about the MML2 even in Kentucky. They wax and wane about the upcoming AMD 64 CPU, and other event stuff. Looks like a lot of fun. So I was pretty stunned at the 'back door' deal that THG has imposed on the event as an official event sponsor. They barred all media access to the event by other online sites. Basically THG is banning all other sites in a rush to get an 'exclusive' online content.
For such an event where the upcoming AMD64 CPU is being demo'ed, I was surprised that AMD & the event organizer would let this fly. Why limit possible good PR for your NextGen CPU to just one on-line site? Doesn't make to much sense to me. Yet I was pretty surprised that THG would go to such extreme lengths. Now this takes my respect for THG down several notches, and reading most their articles will now be taken with suspect.
