guys please...

cut Michael some slack please. Running costs of this site is from the donations and the ad revenues. Cant blame him for trying to maximize those revenues/page clicks.

This is called what happens when we've got a monopoly. In this case on Linux benchmarking unfortunately due to a lack of time and interest on the part of us the readers. Unless it changes so he's having to compete well...

Geekbench runs on linux, but it isn't OSS (why would a person use non-OSS for benchmarking?).

Sure, Michael is acting like a scammer trying to persuade you to visit more of his pages to get more advertisement money. And yes, at least using a different color for the backlinks would be great, I'm sick having to look at the status bar to avoid clicking on his backlinks.

How hard is for someone to start a new forum and for people to move to that new forum? I'm sick of this Michael crap also.

...the complete butchering of Nautilus to make it as useless as possible. It looks good though, so not all is bad

I'm using this release on Arch Linux and Nautilus is actually one of my favorite improvements. Search actually... works now! You should give it a try.

Phoronix, I know this is part of your business idea, but I think this ridiculous amount of backlinking is sometimes so pointless. You don't have to backlink *everything*. It'd be cool if that GNOME 3.6 link would actually link to the GNOME homepage. A matter of convenience when reading news and normally a globally accepted thing. I would think.

Or at least, differentiate in colour between external and internal link so I know what to *not* click on without having to hover on.

I don't think this will ever happen, but in the meantime use this: http://userstyles.org/styles/55221/p...e-urls-in-text

Agreed. I've gotten used to assuming everything is a backlink on Phoronix and so I cautiously scan my status bar before clicking.
