Meet The Editors Of Tom's Hardware (And Their Technology)

[bustapr]

all these people blindly bashing the editors simply because they own apple stuff make us pc enthusiasts look like ignorant asshats...

 

[horaciopz]

It's great to know whom is writing all the contend we read. Thanks a lot for your efforts and time. Tom's hardware being such a major worldwide hardware-tech related site, why don't you have a Spanish site? I found myself trying to proof my recommendations to my friends with this site, but they just can't understand it and they just limit themselves to read the charts and believe my translations. If there is any plan to open a "spanish tom's hardware" I would be gladly to help, support or whatever it's needed to make it happen

 

[jaquith]

Ah huh, really no surprise. The only difference is we have four sets of 'keys.' I really don't need to say more other than enough of those 'news' articles.

 

[brendonmc]

Wow! I never picked you guys as a bunch of Mac users. Great site. I read it everyday. I think we are heading into an exciting time for hardware and I look forward to reading about it on your site.

I'm not done reading this, but i just had to mention/ask this:

Interplay's Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates PC game

Was this the game that led to FreeSpace 2's poor marketing?

p.s. links don't post from the news comments section...

Stanislav's rig made me drool... Two SSD's in RAID0 PLUS a RAM disk?!!? Being a gamer I know this is overkill but I would LOVE a rig like that with an SLi setup. But hell... with that kind of speed I may pick up photography! Haha!

[citation][nom]greghome[/nom]AH!!!!! the horror.....they all have a Mac..... [/citation]


I Don't! It's all Windows desktops/laptops/nettops for me, bro.

I do have an iPhone. But I tried Windows phones first, really I did! Unfortunately, Windows Mobile just didn't gel, and that's what I had before. Even as a PC guy, I have to admit Apple nailed the iPhone.

The new Windows 8 ecosystem might bring me back to Windows phones tho.

Heheh, hey... no probs.

Coincidentally, my ancestry is half German. But you won't find too many native Germans with 'Woligroski' for a last name.

damn don, never thought Id see someone replace a 7970 oc with a 680. itd be understandable if it was free, but damn, is the switch worth it?

I switch cards out all the time just to try them out.

Honestly, I don't think I really notice a real-world difference between the two as far as performance is concerned. They both drive the 2560x1600 Dell 30" just fine.

Nice, interesting read. And this kind of works like a review too: "hmmm i think i'd buy that, a Tom's Hardware editor uses that!"

btw is that pic of David Civera with the field at the back photoshoped? it doesn't quite look right :O

Anyway, thanks a lot all of you! been reading this site every day for one and a half years now...loved it

I forgive you all. At least you all are sporting regular win desktops. Hope that the future 10 hour win8 hybrids will win you all back over, from a computing mobility pov of course.

Now seriously, couldn't you find a decent thinkpad or vaio ?

 

[Guest]

WOW! Finnish guy ! Matti .... My name is Matt too namesake!

Mr. Angelini don't need to upgrade for the sake Of USB 3. He can just buy a PCIe USB 3 card.
I still run on my socket 775 quad core and got myself a USB 3.0 card and now I can transfer my stuffs to USB 3 drives too.

Stanislav Vasiliev, what is your preferred RAMdisk software? I've had mixed results with every one I've tried. Between odd slowdowns in saving the disk image and slowdowns on booting and shutting down windows, they are great to use but a hassle to maintain.

Wish I had time to make a meme for this

If you think that owning Apple hardware makes you any less passionate about the PC...you're going to have a bad time.

 

[Guest]

Too bad you don't have Overlord Tempests for your desktop!!!!

Congratulations for the Tom´s Hardware editors team -- you guys are a reference for the hardware industry -- I really enjoy the way you write/edit the articles/news, which make it easy for everyone!

HOLY OGM!!!! Please keep the pictures of apple products to yourselves! I mean there's no excuse except the Ipad which currently has very little competition. I look up to you guys, and my stomach hurts to see so many iMacs/iPhones/Macbooks. Almost everything you guys publish makes a pretty solid statement about building and mod-ing and videocards and servers and pure awesomeness. I feel at home here. I sometimes glance at cNet, and PcWorld, and other website and I come right back here for some real nerd articles. I mean Apple doesn't have bad products, I really believe the opposite, but it doesn't represent you guys. At least not what you're painting yourselves to be. Apple represents non-customizable closed environments at a higher cost. You've proved it yourselves. You can buy any PC for less with similar specs. And phones? Are you nerds like us? I drive up to my house and my phone connects to the wifi-server, turns off 4g, turns on my main PC with wake-on-LAN, and my air conditioning through x10, triggers a log-in and has my kinect listen and watch for commands. I can't do that with and iPhone. Only android. Sorry... I'm a bit hurt, but I still love you guys, you do a phenomenal job writing.

Dude! I respect your PC enthusiasm but come on.

I'm a PC madman, but even I can admit that Apple makes a decent phone and tablet. I can even buy one if it suits my needs, that doesn't mean I'm drinking the Kool-aid.

You don't want to be like the Apple fanbois who throw a gasket when someone suggests that their precious i-whatever isn't gods gift to perfection. It's a slippery slope!

Must have balance, DigitalWarlord-San.

I'm sorry, I totally agree. It's just that I didn't know this and I felt like my world was flipped upside down. That's how much I look up to you guys. and I did mention I do think Apple makes great products. I guess in my fantasy world my idols use non-apple products lol. You guys do great and my comment was me just crying. haha... thanks for your good work.

What did you guys expect from a bunch of journalists anyway? These desktops are probably for show, and what they in fact do all day is sit around at Starbucks and pretend they're writing movie scripts on their F*gbooks.

You got a smirk out of me with that one, well played.

If you're being serious though, it's probably time to re-examine your life and take the drama down a few notches...

Regardless of whether or not Apple products suite your needs, you shouldn't be using them. From a pure consumer stand-point, the products they sell are either inferior, more expensive, or both. Their anti-competition and patent-trolling tactics are bad for the computing market as a whole -- if they had their way, no one but Apple would be allowed to sell computers, tablets, and phones. You guys are so passionate with your reviews and articles, then make the conscious effort to use that Apple junk. It's a little disappointing.

 

[DigitalWarlord]

[citation][nom]jaquith[/nom]You sure in the hell would never know it with all of these G'damn anti-Apple articles or articles with the explicit intention of pitting one patron against one another. Stop it!!! Self Loathing...?? or Hypocrites...?? or Both?Frankly I'm tired of seeing any article with the mere mention of Samsung or Apple anywhere in them.[/citation]

That doesn't add up. I'm not sure how many tech sites you've been browsing around, but Tom's does a pretty good job at keeping articles diverse and within the techie spectrum if you will. Not many Apple anything on here. If you go to a website like cNet, you'll notice that 1 of 3 articles revolves around Apple. and it's not particularly pitting any brand, these guys go a long way try to explain the logic behind their argument with benchmarchs and statistics. That's not something everyone does.

[citation][nom]jaquith[/nom]So you wonder where all of the hate is coming from ... well duh.I use both Apple and Microsoft based PC's, and I like them both. To others deal with it. However, these frigging articles makes one think you as an Editor wouldn't know an Apple from a Donut hole.[/citation]

No one really cares what you use. I mean, we really don't. We come here for guidance on practical and useful hardware facts, sometimes shinny new toys but regardless, we try to evaluate it's worth and value, not it's hype. If you're trying to convince anyone that buying your beloved Apple anything was worth the money you're going to have to do better than that. Trust me, I'm bias often 'cause I hate that Apple logo, but I recognize it's strengths too. Like the iPad for instance. The iPhone is great too, but it's not geek worthy in my eyes. Anyway, unless you're a Avid mac user who uses terminal to modify access permission within a network protocol, I'm not impressed by your little apple logo, and you're argument is not valid.

You're the best Jaquith. I can always count on you to freak out over nothing and provide crazy chuckle-inspiring rant.
