Yea, and if you look real close you can actually read the "I'M WITH STUPID" text printed under the arrow.

Man, I'm gonna go search for a 24k solid gold volume dial. Hell, at least then you can 'SEE' the bling. Like a rapper's gold front tooth. Nothing says high end audio like bling!

I used to respect Cnet reviews. What is this crap review.
Have I been less than astute by thinking CNET was a reliable source of reviews?

Hi Davekro,
It depends on the type of product. I think Cnet is fine for video displays, camera, computer, laptop, GPS, DVD player, AV receivers and similar products.
Because their style of loudspeaker reviewing is anecdotal, with no controlled blind listening, immediate comarisons or careful measurements, I wouldn't rely on them for nuanced judgments of loudspeaker sound quality.

I disagree. CNET reviews are almost always pretty biased. They rely heavily on advertising, and there's some editorial bias as well, particularly against Apple products. (Yes, I may be biased the other way. maybe).

OS X, Yea, baby!

Eh... while I might have typed that on my MBP, I spend most of my day on a PC. And I rather like Vista. Not as much as OS X, but Vista's pretty good, and Server08 is excellent. For the most part.
