Rick,
You are obviously superior to all of the morons that actually read Anand's ego-stroking blog entries. Just cut it out, dude. So what if Anand writes at a third grade level and has delusions of grandeur. Is that so wrong? Really. Enough is enough.
Love,
Rick
Blah, blah, blah, blah.... I am great... blah, blah... I have excellent ideas and am way ahead of my time... blah.. blah... I have never had sex with an actual woman... blah, blah...
THAT'S RIGHT! RICK LIVES! WOO-HOO!!! I GOT YOUR HARDWARE RIGHT HERE, BIZNATCHES!!!
Anand,
#12 was my last post ever. I promise! I was just having fun. Seriously! I really do love the site and appreciate all of your hard work. I'm really glad people like you dedicate your time to reviewing stuff so that geeky consumers like me can make good decisions. I've saved a ton of money over the years because of you. Thanks, bro.
Ricky Rick
No, there shouldn't be a period at the end of the words "posting" or "intelligent" in my previous post. Your high school should provide courses that cover this matter.
Pretty funny that you think I'm the "AnandTech Fan" guy. You're exactly why paranoid Internet n00bs with short attention spans should never have assess to the parent's computer.
Anand,
Thanks for offering to change the name of your site. It's seriously not necessary, but I'm flattered that you have so much repect for me.
Oh, by the way, if you're going to keep posting comments under fake names ("I own Rick" at joshpuc@yahoo.com? Come on, man!) you really need to disguise your obvious writing style. For the last time, dude, you need to end sentences with periods in the appopriate places!!! Example: "Rick, you're not very intelligent, posting on the internet just isn't your strong suit." There should be a period after "intelligent" and "posting" should start a new sentence. It's not that hard, man! Focus!!!
Love,
Ricky Rick (a.k.a., I rule!!!)
I agree with #6, you simply aren't intelligent. Have you ever read THG's reviews. They get the products, do a two paragraph introduction and then don't explain anything about the product. All they do is a stupid photo shoot of the product and just label the pictures in one line to explain the products. Yeah, that's really in-depth. Toms went completely downhill with Tom Pabst himself stopped writing.
Did you know that Tom, Anand, Sharky (maybe a few others) are pioneers of the hardware reviewing industry. No one had thought about reviewing computer hardware and publishing reviews on Internet, but these people did (Yes, they followed each other, but they all set their standards high). There is a thing called, "Best" in every business. You don't have to be the best to make more money, but you can be the best in anything.
I am sure all companies are aware of Toms, PCMag and AnandTech, but how many people actually know the founders and respect them. Guranteed that all three publications are businesses, but AnandTech and TomsHardware are known by companies for people like Anand and Toms. Why else do you think AnandTech is one of the top three hardware sites on the Internet today, globally.
Anand was 15 when he started AnandTech and quickly gained the trust of those who visited his site. We have literally seen him grow on AnandTech, so trust me a select few would know him well (even if it's virtually).
Toms is only in it for the hits (not that there's anything wrong with it). My "favorite" editor Omid Rahmat has nothing better to do with his time than simply call their readers "AMD Fanboys" among other things. Yeah, that's real professional.
By the way, I don't think Anand would even have to waste his time to persuade a stupid reader into thinking his ways. When you have almost four million people reading your site every month, a mere maggot won't make a difference to him.
You know Rick you're right, it was pretty lame of me to log in under a fake name and pretend to be supporting myself, as a sign of my repect for you I'm thinking about changing the name of my site to "RickTech", thanks also for the advice on grammar and syntax, all of the great minds of our era have had flaws, my main one is my bad writing.
Anand (er... I mean, "AnandTech Fan"),
Kind of embarassing to log in under a fake name and then have someone call you out, isn't it?
I was just joking yesterday. Perhaps I was a little harsh. I apologize.
Seriously, though, do you really believe that part about you being "...the world's most repected [your typo] hardware reviewer"? Come on, dude! Even your own words or praise contain typos! Don't get me wrong, I repect you, too. But you ain't the best in the world, brother. Ever been to Tom's Hardware Guide or heard of a thing called PCMag? You offer one perspective on things. One! There's no such thing as "best" in this business.
As you requested, this long-time reader will "go away". Just one last thing, though -- kiss my ass! I'm goin' to Tom's!
Later,
Rick R Richard
Rick (#3), I must agree that you have a great way of putting down people. You do realize that AnandTech was covering the IDF in sort of a live way, which meant they were probably writing as fast as they could before their next meeting with another company.
When you have information to pass along to millions of readers who are expecting AnandTech to deliver their reports, the last thing you worry about are grammatical errors. Besides, as long as you are understanding what AnandTech is trying to say does it really matter if their writing is a bit off. AnandTech produces some of the best technology articles. Besides, I highly doubt AnandTech editors are writing an English paper for a grade and I bet they don't get very many annoying people like you who have nothing better to do than complain.
If you can't stand the mistakes then don't bother visiting AnandTech.
Apparently, you don't realize that Anand is the world's most repected hardware reviewer and yes, he has graduated college. It's pretty stupid that you come to read Anand's blog just so you can find grammatical errors. You might as well go read some random blogs, since you will find tons more mistake than AnandTech.
Dude,
I appreciate the IDF coverage. I really do. But for the love of God, man, please brush up on your writing skills! Seriously. Did you go to college? I enjoy reading your blogs, but not because you ever say anything interesting. I mostly just like to count up how many sentences contain flawed syntax or violate the basic rules of grammar. You often mistake a "comma" for a "period". Here's the difference: a comma looks like this "," while a period looks like this "." Go back to high school, dude. How the hell did you graduate?
Your fan,
Rick
Hello. Are you going to Apple's WWDC? (http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/) By what I've read, this may be the most interesting one yet. Between OSX 10.4, and rumored new hardware, there's likely to be much to write about. Thanks for the IDF coverage!
The IDF coverage was great! I gotta admit, I'm a little exciting to see how the 4 threads (ie dual core with HT) will do for video editing and the like.
Anyways, Dell just released their 24" 1920x1200 LCD, and I'd love to see this thing go up against the Apple 23" in an Anandtech review. If it keeps with their excellent performance (ie 19" Dell, 20" Dell) and is competitive with the Apple, I'd much rather buy the Dell and save myself $700.
