Default [DT] Why you shouldn't post news from Fudzilla

I see more and more "news" threads originating from Fudzilla. This is an old topic, but I would like to bring it up. Fudzilla is not a good place to get news from.

He will post anything he can get his hands on. He was fired from the Inquirer for falsifying news. People should know this before giving this fool hits.

Quote:
Former Inquirer writer Fuad Abazovic released benchmarks of the upcoming AMD quad-core Barcelona. Abazovic believes his benchmarks are "an AMD exclusive" of a new processor he has in his possession.

Unfortunately, not only is this tale completely fabricated, but the perpetrators who architected the hoax came forward early this morning on Swedish enthusiast forum, SweClockers.com.

The poster "2good4you" details the process he used to convince Abazovic that his benchmarks were authentic -- which essentially entailed a single email with the image attached. Abazovic then republished the benchmarks as his own, and not for the first time alludes "2good4you."
http://www.dailytech.com/Barcelona+B...rticle7291.htm

Fudo is Fuad....

Quote:
In a previous article, we pretty thoroughly debunked the authenticity of Fudo's "screenshots." In the original article, Fudo published an expose claiming NVIDIA would not allow developers to use 24-bit or 32-bit precision -- whatever that means -- inside the benchmark. Fudo then published the screenshots of an ATI and an NVIDIA card side by side.

Our rebuttal was to disprove his analysis of this situation based on the two images, at least one of which was just a Photoshop manipulation. I have my doubts about Candella as well, but the gist of that article -- Fudo's accusations that NVIDIA was pulling some sort of scam with developers -- was untrue given the evidence.

Sounds like a great guy to get your news from!

Aye! Or maybe it could have its own section where people could post made up stories and try to predict future technology.

Aye!

And thank you for this.

It really upsets me when people make money out of falsities like this. There are enough hard working people trying to earn a buck legitimately out there. Every dollar this man makes is like a slap in the face to them.
