The Ranting of George Ou
,----[ Quote ]
| My opinion of George Ou was already low when I read his AMD posts blatantly
| deceptive benchmarks on Barcelona. However, this was before I noticed his
| exchange with Hans De Vries in the comments. De Vries seems to be fairly
| evenhanded and accomodating in his comments while Ou comes across as not just
| pro-Intel and anti-AMD but absent of any balance whatsoever. He has lost all
| credibility with me.

George Ou Is A Pompous Ass

He already has a 'reputation', being somewhat of a shill. Gartner joins the
party, batting for Wintel.
Gartner decides Barcelona has "issues"

| "AMD's performance estimates are based on a leisurely 2GHz clock speed,
| which is lower than expected and suggests room for significant gains,"
| Gartner analysts Martin Reynolds, John Enck and Stephen Kleynhans hooted as
| one.

NY Times bans Microsoft analysts from Microsoft stories
,----[ Quote ]
| If the paper would prefer not to quote an analyst who has
| experience with a client, it did a poor job. Silver is Gartner's
| vice president in charge of client computing. Microsoft happens to
| do lots of business with Gartner and also happens to have a
| client-software monopoly. We're guessing that Silver knows
| Microsoft's products well and has direct involvement with the
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| company.
| ^^^^^^^
|
| And, sure enough, he appears a number of times on Microsoft's
| own site and thousands of times in stories about Microsoft.
|
| Jim Murphy - wait for it - covers Microsoft too and is even more
| prolific than Silver.

|
| Part of the problem stems from the reticence of companies such as
| IDC and Gartner to reveal their clients. That should make everyone
| nervous, but it doesn't. So called objective technology publications
| keep publishing material bought by vendors without telling you this.
| They're also too lazy or scared to ignore the likes of Gartner and
| IDC until the firms change their disclosure rules.
