    Funny how h-online uses phoronix for sources of many of their articles.

      Yeah, I liked the h-online summary of the phoronix gnome survey. They removed all the trolling and published it in a much more sensible and responsible form.

        H-online does very little but aggregate other news sources (not to mention that they have a much larger staff).

                News scraping other sites articles and quoting others isn't exactly rocket science.

                  You sound like a troll. What you say mirrors Phoronix beautifully. Sure The H have short aggregated news items, but generally the quality of their writing and features, even "quoted items", are of a much higher quality than here. Original content on Phoronix are few and far between (forget automated benchmark graphs) and those that are is typically self-serving or sensationalist ("STEAM for Linux!!11").

                  nzjrs is right.

                    He is a moderator. Moderators can't be trolls, it's against cosmic harmony. Otherwise we are all doomed, cause there's nothing like lack of cosmic harmony to shove good old mother Earth in a black hole or something

                      Have you actually read their "features"? They are just as prone as writing negative article as any other site. For example:

                      Broadcom has spent a year working on its open source driver for WLAN/Wi-Fi hardware to fulfill the quality demands of the kernel developers, but now they may not even want it any more


                      H-online doesn't bother doing any testing of their own and rely heavily on user submitted news tips or scraping off of others. It is really nice when you have writers that have the time to report others findings instead of doing a bit of actual investigation for themselves. Their forum activity (or complete lack of) doesn't show a whole lot. Why? Because most of the stuff H-Online is pulled from other sources that do the actual work and summarizes it. Keep in mind that Michael is a one man show for the most part. Not only is he doing the benching, writing, researching, developing for Phoronix but he also has his other 'lives' of running his company and holy crap maybe he can fit in a bit of a personal life in there as well time permitting. Have you guys ever once noticed that articles (usually multiple in a day) often posted for what would be really early in the morning or really really really late at night for him? Cut the man some slack. Have any of you guys even ever tried submitting an article to Michael? It's real easy to bitch about someone's elses work but offer nothing back in aid to change the situation.
