Hey Mike... remember about 2 months ago when everyone was asking you the SAME thing about your "articles"?
Ah I remember now. I used information provided by Ben Hermans, the manager of the AmigaOS4 project for the AmigaOS4 features listed within an article. And yes there were quite a few trolls, some of which are currently posting within this thread, who attacked my approach to go the source.
LOL, don't you understand how weak this argument really is? It's like saying I shouldn't use Steve Jobs as a source for an article on Apple's direction, or don't use Stefan Robl as a source for AmiDock features...
@ Dammy
"Amiga DEad" seems to have been one of your most favourite statements regarding Amiga Inc. ;-)
@ jtsiren
And Mike, a lot of what I said above can be said of your articles as well.
Clear distinctions are being made between my feature articles and my news articles. Just think for a moment about what Kay said for instance, at first he thought it was a news item instead of an opinion piece.
(Of course this is not really how you feel since you are so open to criticize Genesi's official statements, but still.)
Of course, they may hype their products as much as they want. But I criticize them for continuously adding FUD regarding 3rd party efforts, to their "official" statements (/forum updates).
You are implying, at least in this thread, that only official sources are to be trusted - only press releases are to be considered as news.
No, but if you want to provide more information on how and why validation regarding to Mai's products take place, you should approach the parties directly involved as well. Regarding this article, it is IMO absolutely a minimum requirement.
IMO this "news item" is presented in a way that it could damage the reputation of Mai. While in fact Mai has done nothing wrong and there are tons of better examples to use.
