Having written a few reviews for www.overclockers.com myself, I have looked into this and found a few things, while reading other reviews.
Reviews tend to fall into a few catagories.
Bribed: The supplier has give something to the review as incentive for a good review. This is the supplier doing the dirty deed, the reviewer just goes along with it because they are profiting.
Greedy: The reviewer hands out praise and awards like candy, to keep the goods flowing. The reviewer is just keeps pumping out favourable reviews, to keep getting products for the review to play with or sell. This is the reviewer doing the dirty deed and the supplier just goes along with it, because its good PR.
Incompetance: Some reviewers just suck. They simply dont know how to get the numbers right, or their testing done properly. I just call them idiots.
Lastly and most rare, is the competant, unbiased reviewer. They know what they are doing and dont pull any BS.
I find www.overclockers.com and www.procooling.com to be good, www.xtremeresources.com and www.anandtech.com are also pretty good.

Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion
Rescue Rover
Hovertank
Keen Dreams

'It's not a healthy thing to lock yourself in a room and create your own reality.'
But its ok for the judicial system to lock you in a room and create a seperate reality for you, please enjoy your 18 months in a Minnisoeta Pound me in the Ass Prison.
I have imaged what it would be like to shoot someone (or a little doggie a saw walking to school) with an instagib rifle (UT) and what the gibbage would be like.
Popularity has brought about a bunch of mogaloids who don't know a good movie when it hits them in the face ( http://aquafinabattle.com/extras/pat-vs-case/pat-v s-case.mpg ).
This list although riddled with holes does have a few gems on it (comeon 5th Element kicks butt).

HardOCP is ok.
www.madshrimps.de and Toms Hardware both suck.
Ok, so if its going to become illegal to download music and let the record industy sue people, is the tax on media going to be repeled?
Think of the hassel that you have to deal with when you are getting rid of lots of computers.
With me we could do it in 1 minute.
So now when the feds are parked out in front of your house waiting for you to leave your apartment, they can leech off your neighbours wifi...
/porn (pops up a browser with your favourite porn) /caffine (sends a fresh hit of caffine into your bloodstream through your IV)
Allegedly sold the game to someone that was too young.
Damn, it taught me how to rocket jump.
Time to go kill some people and escape by rocket jumping over fences.
It better be taught in Enlish.
I do computer tech support for food.
A get pies, full roast beast meals, dozens of cookies, and cakes all for cleaning spyware or setting up computers.
Its a good deal for me.

I'm more parianoid outside of my house.
For my computer security, "Ohh no, they can steal my secret doom3 save games."
Whereas outside, I get tracked with cameras and can get robbed by strung out junkies.
We are fucked anyway, so why not?
Are you saying IRC is useful for something other than idling?
Low speed moped accidents are less dangerous.
Send the Cheaters to Vietn... I mean Iraq.

Want a almost "free game"? Look into games that have active mod communities. Such as BF1942 and UT games.
Buy one game, and have the ability to play many other games for free.
I want my robot to have machine guns!!!
It certainly would be organized, but geeks on strike? I think not, stikes are outside and picket signs are heavy.
Instead of killing myself or seeing the movie, I think I will just play the Doom games instead, and skip the Holloywood Bull.
Have the teacher be naked.
like naked news.
