And that's the entire issue here.

A lot of people apparently use Eldar as a source to decide what they will and won't buy. Him making judgments on unfinished firmware and posting them up as a "review" makes people assume he's got a final review copy, which he does not. Some of the problems he's seen may or may not already be fixed or simply not exist anymore.

WE, the TMO community, will all make our own final judgment calls when we have the machines in our hands... but for some people that will never happen because they based their purchasing decision upon what Eldar presents as a review now. Really, this is the one and only real issue I have with him.

Do you remember the professional movie critic that decided he would download an unfinished workprint edition of a movie (Hulk, maybe Wolverine) and reviewed it even though the special effects were completely missing?

He got canned.
