They sunk to that "new low" almost a year ago right after they got bought out. All the well known hardware aficionados that got fed up moved over to xcpus.com and Tom's has just continued to slide downhill :rofl:

Culver City (CA) - Two snarky Inquirer editors have fled their European oppressors and have joined TG Daily to form the unholy Trinity. Both are known for their humor and have given corporate titans ulcers with their take-no-prisoners style of writing. We give a warm welcome to Charlie Demerjian and Theo Valich. Time for us to buy a flame-proof suit.
Indeed :D


Tom's and TG Daily are connected?

Yes, same as Anandtech and Dailytech.

Oh what the hell? Charlie was at least semi-sane.
Now Inq is going to be like Fudzilla...

oops, just my english, I mean, the word used on xs that start a title like:

Inq - AMD is ready to launch 22nm

or

FUD - Intel is dead see the new AMD cpu.

was thinking this word was use in english too. In my langage balise is used to say thing like "balise argos" ou "balise html". So neither an acronym, neither a made up word, just a non native speaker and a non english word :D

Just because they were bought by BOM (best of micro) if I'm right and this 'company' still already own another bad-quality-'review website' called PPC (presence-pc) If i don't make mistake :D

This is my personnal Opinion ;)


FUD / INQ / TOM make news to get visitor :D so that should be a good idea to create a new TOM "balise" !

Well hello there elfking, I remember you from Tom's. Glad to see most of the good ones from Tom's are around here (AliG, JumpingJack, and a few others too). And I agree I had been a member of Tom's forumz for quite a while but I didn't find it "Xtreme" enough :)

I was on Tom's a long time ago too. Back when FUGGER was getting flamed for using Intel chips. I wonder if Crashman is still in the forums. I haven't been to tom's in years.

Aww, year 2002...how I barely remember you.
