An actual apology?? But...but...this is the INTERNET! You're not allowed to resolve a disagreement on the internet....where are the retorts? The snarky comments? The improper grammar? Good god, where are the straw men? Won't someone PLEASE think of the straw men?!!
The blog's format is repulsive, but take a minute to compare even the intros of both sites -
XYZ:
"When AM2 was first announced it seemed like it was going to be a guaranteed hit. After all, this platform would be moving the tremendously successful socket 939 into the future with its use of DDR2 memory, a greatly increased memory bandwidth, hardware virtualization, and a number of exciting new CPUs. Despite everything AM2 had going for it, this includes a dedicated enthusiast base and a tremendous amount of pro-AMD spirit at the time, the new platform has largely been dismissed by consumers."
Blog:
"When AMD released the Socket AM2 platform during May of this year, many expected it to be a huge hit - after all, it supported DDR2, sporting a 30% increase memory bandwidth, and introduced new features such as hardware virtualization. The Socket AM2 platform took what AMD had learned from the Socket 939 platform and built upon it.
Now, four months on from launch, and the AM2 platform has been largely sidelined and the Socket 939 platform still dominates mainstream AMD PCs. Why? Where did AMD go wrong with AM2?"
If you go through both articles completely, you'll see that the sections and talking points may differ in order and detail, but there is definitely something up here. My questions is, who copied who? Both are dated the 27th, but the blog shows 2:22am for a timestamp

I knew this article sounded familiar...it's because I'd already seen it on another site:
