I have bin reading tomshardware now almost for about 5 ore 6 year's
And I am starting to miss the ting’s he was dowing in the beginning there were always sharp articles cut edge news on his website but now a days its getting more and more the same and like a lot of magazine’s I don’t read also any more
the spark is gone and think he needs to find him self ore I am walking
and STOP cuddle op to the company’s he is suppose to be writing about
some quote’s from the net
www.overclockers.com (from the forums)
Well.. its been a long time since I read his page with more than a passing interest...But..
I recall he did a 'watercooling' roundup not too long ago. Completely laughable. There were quite a few people on this very board that made a mockery of his 'methods' and conclusions. He pretty much had decided which manufacturer was going to win ahead of time and went thru the article with that flavor. (Tom is a pretty big 'pro-Europe/anti-American' personality. There's nothing wrong with that, per say, unless it creeps into an 'unbiased review'.)
His video card reviews have drawn scathing criticism ever since he started sporting 'Nvidia approved site' logos all over his front page.
There was the questionable tactic awhile back of spreading FUD about AMD processors. He showed processors running without HS/Fans and made some conclusions about AMD reliability.
Going back past that.. my memory gets a bit fuzzy. Mainly I recall that you'd have about 15 different reputable review places write basically the same article.. .including Tom's. Somehow Tom's reviews would come up with a review that had completely different conclusions and results than the other 14. He would go on a tirade about how all the other reviewers were idiots.. and didn't know how to test properly. Of course, it doesn't take many of those types of events to figure out the score.
Basically, Tom is a *****. Note the quantity of advertising vs. the quantity/quality of reviewing.
The biggest issue I have with him is his air of arrogance when he's nothing more than a rank amateur in most of the arenas that he tries to dabble.
