Why no news from certain sites?

[dgingeri]

I've seen a lot of news from other sites here, but not from a particular pair of sites that I see often: Anandtech and HardOCP. I read all three on a regular basis, so I get all the news from them, and I freqently see overlap in areas each covers, but I have never seen reviews from HardOCP or Anandtech covered on this site, and no reviews from this site covered on the other two. Why is that?

Probably because Tom's rather do a review than do a review of a review. Tom's has it's own testing setups and procedures and would rather test themselves than some other sites review.

Spot on answer, getochkn! We respect our colleague and competitor sites, and wouldn't be hardware junkies if we didn't check their stuff out as well as ours - but we run our own show here, and as mentioned, have a different approach to testing, reviews and setups.
