More PC Magazine weirdness

22 January 2007

The cover of the February issue touts, “7 New Sites That Outdo YouTube”. However, when you look at the article, YouTube gets the most favorable review. There’s no indication how any site “outdoes” YouTube, let alone 7 sites.

Also, PC Mag seems to take issue with any other publication doing product reviews. In “Wired, Don’t Quit Your Day Job,” the editors feel the need to have some sort of head-to-head competition on reviews that have appeared in both PC Mag and Wired. Apparently PC Mag’s reviews are waaaaay better, and Wired should just leave product reviews to the experts at PC Mag, which has been around for 25 years.

I have to keep reminding myself it was a free subscription.
