Toms being bought out by Ziff-Davis

tsk tsk

very rude

merry xmas

If Tom is like many germans(capitalists to the core) I know, in a few months I will be viewing this page like I view all zd-net media, another Ntel propaganda machine.

Has anyone notice how TechTV has started recommending Athlons since it was bought from ZDnet? I received a poll from ZDnet once, and one of the questions read "Intel is a major sponsor of ZDnet. Do you feel that this has affected the objectivity of our reporting?" Uh, duh, Alex, could you repeat the question please?

this makes me very sad... I have noticed that you can get to tom's from ZDNet but I was hoping it was a mistake. Pretty soon every site is going to be a part of cnet.... *sob*

Uhhh TechTV wasn't bought by ZDnet..... ZDnet changed it's name to TechTV.

So much for unbiased reporting!

Makes me wonder about the P4 reviews!

Oh well, if you can't beat'em, buy'em.

All hail Microsoft and Intel. We are your slaves...

Learning has begun.

Where's your source? No offense, but as far as I can tell, without a source, you could just be another troll or something. I certainly hope this proves to be untrue.

We shall see.....................

Look, the bottom line is there's no sense in getting into a tizzy (sp?) about something you have no control over, whether it happens or not.

While I'm certainly appreciative of Tom providing this forum, IMHO, it's pretty obvious that Tom's Hardware Guide has lately become more of a commercial venture than anything else. I'd actually be suprised if something like a buyout didn't happen sooner or later...if the price was right and/or Tom wasn't that interested in it anymore.

I'm personally not into the site that much anymore as I'm not that crazy about the changes, and the quality of some of the articles doesn't seem as good. That's just my opinion, of course.

Edit: Thought I should add that I also feel this is Tom's site and he has the right to do whatever he wants with it...whether or not I like it.

I work for Tom's Hardware Guide and I just talked to Tom only hours ago. This BS isn't true.

Here's the link I found about this subject.

It doesn't say anybody has already been bought. Sounds mostly like speculation to me.

Only time will tell.. If Tom is a real bastard or wrongly acused...
I still believe in Tom personaly.
He can be proud that we are discussing it on this forum..
That only means that his vote counts in the world...

Never let your best man down.. NEVER!!!
Now he can see who his real friends are...

I vote for TOM..... Do you?

HEHeheheeeeeeee........
This is hilarious you guys. Just look at all the posts up here. There are antagonista, protagonists... it's a regular Shakespeare novel! Did you notice the people saying :say something Tom" as if Tom was some omnicient God? heheeeee.... (Couldn't help it)

ok, well lemme put in my 2 cents. I don't care. Tom's Hardware is the greatest site for computer equipment, hardware, and new release information. Reguardless of who buys who, it still has that potential. If the articles are *biased* than deal with it. Nobody ever threatened anyone's life if they didn't take absolutely everything to heart that Tom's articls said. It's a free information site, BS happens.

So Tom, ( I say on my knees with my head bowed *chortle*) keep up the good work. I'll allways be loyal : )

*God bless Tom's Hardware! Every time I post, I set out st least 4 (hopefully) helpful replies. Such is the way the community grows!*
(hehe... kinda ironic that my signature ending fits in with my joke, huh?)

What is going on here? Is this the thread in witch everybody write a bullshit to move up their title?

yep and it is good to see you are getting fully involved(2 posts) :-)

one of the first UK T-Bird users....

If Tom is owned by Intel (Which I don't believe will happen) How could anyone expect anything better than what certian sites/mags/shows tell us. I was watching some little TV breif thing (the type of thing that stations put on so people will watch through the commercials) praising the P4 as the best CPU out now and the Best for long to come and urged all to go and pick up the 'marvelous processor' ASAP! Is that the kind of crap you want to read from Tom's?

Dont get me wrong...I love thg, but lately he's been walking funny.

he walks like this /
