[citation][nom]bardia[/nom]Indeed some went over the top. I myself was probably more critical than I needed to be, although I still disagree with you.However, understand that some of the frustration from the regulars isn't just backlash because we disagree with you (as the vast majority of us do), but disagreement fueled with frustration over the declining quality of our beloved THG is a dangerous combination.I mean seriously... the CPU chart hasn't been updated since sometime mid-late '07. This is August '08! In dog years and computer years, that's like a decade right?[/citation]
Understood. There's definitely concern there. I assure you that there is work being done to update all the charts. We're moving to a new charting system that's considerably more powerful than the one in use, where when you click on a bar related to a specific device, it'll link you to the article associated with that device.
@ALL: In general, I am definitely stepping up here publicly to say sorry for the mess. Everyone's learning I think. I read through all the comments (crazy!) and learned a thing or two at the very least, myself.
I'll follow up with a deeper, more balanced look at the different platforms, which will come up soon. We're attempting to get in the latest Apple units, requesting similar systems from system builders, and then building our own. We'll run some concrete benchmarks using the latest games as well as system tests to show raw numbers and let the benchmarks do the talking (no, really!

)
Then we'll try to build a standard PC with matching hardware and install Leopard on it, and see which delivers better numbers for the best value.
I think that should help reshape things.
