I like Phoronix and read it daily (with no adblock ) in spite of the obvious flaws - sensationalist headlines, too many intralinks, some benchmarking for benchmarking's sake and Valve/Steam on Linux (boy that cried wolf much?).
I would also like to see more "modern" games tested even if it excludes the open drivers, or maybe compile mesa with S3TC and floating point extension? And my number one wish is to see Blender 2.5 included in PTS and your articles, and how that runs with closed/open Nvidia GeForce/Quadro, AMD Radeon/FirePro and Intel, especially now with the crippled OpenGL performance on Fermi GeForce cards (and hopefully push Nvidia to fix their driver!)
Other than that, thanks for running this site! You really carved out a niche here that is very valuable, so if you can think about the obvious flaws above, I/we don't have to feel bad every time someone refers to this site as "Moronix", which is not (always) deserved.
