I just love the guys at The Register. They really know how to tell the truth in a very entertaining way.

I love The Register also, it's a great fresh website.  And they are right, Google video is pretty pathetic.

The register is OK. I think that some of the more comical articles should be in a seperate section sometimes as they get in the way.

And sometimes their articles are blatant adverts.

They are certainly not shy about plugging those that they like, and even less shy when it comes to lambasting those that they don't like.

There's certainly no love lost for Microsoft at The Register. "We even had to fire up a Windows box..." is pretty normal fare.

But I certainly hope that they never stop putting the really important news right up front - you know - the black helicopter stuff...

It's just so refreshing to read compared to the garbage reporting you get elsewhere. They at least have an opinion and make sure that you know their position. Other journalists report a slanted article without letting you know. There's something to be said for the honesty you get at The Register.

Peace, love, and eternal grooviness...

As long as you stay away from the Black Helicopters...
