  #28 OTABEL: Who the heck are you to pressure him on behalf of the 6 million readers that come to Anandtech every month. Are you their advocate? I seriously doubt that. And regardless of how you pay for Anandtech's articles (by viewing ads, which I know you don't) you still don't have the right to complain. Anandtech wouldn't get a dent in its earnings even if you left, so no you don't have the right to boss Anand and his staff around like you own them.
  
  You pay for the items at a grocery store, do you go around bossing them as well? I don't think so. And even if you do, it just goes on to show the old, ignorant bastard you really are.
  
  Just because you pay for something doesn't mean you own it, and it doesn't give you the right to pressure anyone. You can voice your opinion here, and let your stupid and moronic voice be heard BUT that doesn't work everytime. Have you ever tried to boss around your cable company, phone company, ISP etc. etc?
  
  Regardless, you certainly have the nerves to be so rude and ask for the update like you own this site. Get lost you fucking retard, no one wants you on this site you low life freak of nature. You are probably the god's worst mistake. Was your mom a hoar who fucked around with 10 different men before she had you because it looks like you are pretty screwed up?
  
  You old scumbag...

  Attention fool #28 AKA OTABEL
  
  Please tell the rest of us exactly how much you paid for Anand's reviews. Oh thats right, you paid nothing. Anand & his staff put up quality articles without ever taking a single penny directly from us readers. Sure there's ads that you don't want to see & you can even ad block them if you so desire. Again, please be honest & let us know how & when Anand has ripped you off as I know all of us would love to hear about it.
  
  As for why him & the rest of the staff is delayed, lets go to the "Computex 2005 - Looking Ahead" article http://anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=244...
  "We apologize for the delays in this final coverage, but all five staff members who went to Taiwan with AnandTech brought home an unexpected present - the flu. Even Anand didn't escape the virus - he was first in Taiwan, caught it first, and was the first to recover. A fever and aching all over is no fun at all, particularly when it is 90 degrees outside. Everyone seems to be recovering, so we thought that you might enjoy our final farewell to Computex 2005 and a look at some directions that the show has charted for the next computer year. "
  
  There you have it. Anand is human too & gets sick just like the rest of us.

  Yeah, so Anand was in meetings all freaking day, and he knew he was going to be busy like I said, and he KNEW he wasn't going to be done with the article, he messed up no matter what you say. And yes, we are not paying for this site, but Anand doesn't do all this crap for free, he gets paid and without us, the visitors of this site, he wouldn't have this site, nor money.......at least not as much money doing what he's doing.
  
  I DO have the right to pressure him then, but I already gave an explanation as to why i'm pressuring him.
  
  Of course, you got jealous, it's quite obvious you are one sick bastard, I wouldn't be surprised if you have a picture of him, or better yet, a doctored picture of him naked with a little help from Photoshop. "You don't own AnandTech, Anand doesn't work for you"--You could have just said, "he is my man!!!" but the truth is, I'm not on your side, and I'm sure Anand is also not there, so find your man somewhere else.
  
  You don't know what I do and how much I do, so please stop bitching, you sound like a little girl.
  
  Enough.
  
  So yeah, Anand, what's going, what's the update? Still working on it? What percentage of completion do you think you are at? Thanks, I'm still waiting.......

  whew...if i had read the previous comments before i posted, i might have refrained. I haven't checked the blog's comments in well over four months...it used to be a place for intelligent discussion and respectful suggestions but seems to have gone the way of the news comments.

  Anand,
  
  With the claim of laptop sales overtaking desktops, Apple going to x86 and having the performance of Pentium M, and IBM selling out to Lenovo...how about a Laptop roundup review? I bought an IBM just over a year ago and i'm pretty biased toward them, but would love to see an article comparing all of the manufacturers, esp when Apple starts shipping x86 laptops. The Linux article about the desktop P-M was interesting...any new insights there? Thanks for all the hard work.

  #20 OTABEL: You shut the fuck off, bitch. Don't talk about irresponsibility. You don't own AnandTech and Anand does not work for you, so you have no right to pressure him or anything of that sort. He will publish the article whenever he is ready. Let's not forget that he was in meetings from day morning till night and working constantly on the articles from Taiwan.
  
  You are in no position to compare yourself to him. You definitely don't do as much work as Anand.
  
  Now go to hell, you motherfucking bitch.

  OTABEL-igerant- It's kinda amazing how much you are bitching about something that is free. Do you even realize that PS3 won't be out until next spring, and will most likely undergo changes from the comparison that Anand is doing? If you don't like it, get the hell out. The people here don't need ungrateful assholes like you. Anand is a busy man. You travel your ass around the world for a month and expect to get stuff done. Try it once. Keep in mind he would have had to take all the equipment with him.
  
  Oh and by the way, I bow to this temple called "AnandTech." Live long and prosper \\//_
