OT: Am I the only one that thinks CNet is rediculous?

PC Place

PCs, Macs, software, viruses, highjackers. It's all here.

I used to go to this site for product reviews until I realized the reviewers don't appear to know anything about the product they review. First, I saw this with a digital camera I was interested in a while back then with an mp3 player, then a laptop. Finally, the video reviews, of just about every product they offer one on, are hilarious. On most of the camera video reviews, the person in the video looks and acts like they have never used a camera before.

There are several occasions where the information given in the reviews is blatantly wrong. It is famous that they have intentionally lied about certain software products, such as Trillian. Also, they were instrumental in the shutdown of mp3.com putting a pretty large group of bands out of a job. It aggravates me to know that some people are basing their decisions on which product to buy based on these reviews and submitting themselves to these people. If their is any site or company to boycott, I would think it would be this one. Anyone agree?
