Extremetech has really gone down hill since laying off all of the good people in 2009. They've adopted a more tabloid journalism style, with provocative headlines and overheated articles. I miss Lloyd Case.
You understand that one of the old authors (Matthew Murray) wrote this story, right? :)
No, I did not know that. I still stand by my observation that Extremetech has gone down hill and I will note that writers must please their editors if they wish to get published.
