[QUOTE=elanthis;211158]98% of the interesting information on Phoronix can be acquired by browsing a few different Linux- and Mesa-related mailing list archives and checking cgit.freedesktop.org for interesting commits. Phoronix just distills it all for you, and gives you a forum where interesting people post interesting things (amidst the throngs of uninteresting people posting inane thingsad to say, but the hardware companies aren't interested in honest reviews so much as they are whoever will tell the biggest lie.

He can't even make an attempt at due diligence and PM Q, Bridgman and the gang for something more solid?
Sorry, but this is why I wish we had another option out there that isn't Phoronix. Unless you happen to know of any other site that does hardware reviews for Linux in english as I'd love to check them out.
BTW i admit, that this site could gain more power if it will become more "official": without titles like "*** sucks" and with more consistent and frequent hw reviews and tests. But it is hard to reach tests consistency, so that is what community should do itself. Openbenchmarking is a great project, just lacks of usability, i think.

Qaridarium does brings gossips on topic and this is nice. What is not nice is someone starting to discuss how he finds this unacceptable, and then another about how unacceptable the previous was, and another about acceptableness of the previous three... if you find it uninteresting, don't read it. The whole thread of trolls...

Compare it with dirt of tomshardware.com for example, which is full of unreadable mess. Clean design is a way to success.
Now you might ask yourself why I would want that change if I love it... The answer is that I want more readers -> more income for Phoronix/Michael -> higher quality content.
I love higher quality content.

more readers -> more lamers -> less effort and more income thanks to lamers -> less power users because of lower quality content -> even more lamers -> even lower quality content -> etc..
