You've clearly got a chip on your shoulder about something because this is the least informative post I've seen on the site.
This site has gone to absolute crap. It's bad enough that Cnet hasn't opened all the content for free, but of the articles one can see for free now, they're completely devoid of expert knowledge and information.
Sad really.
