| ExtremeTech shutting down... WORD HAS REACHED us that one of the last good generalist computer sites, ExtremeTech, is going away. According to our sources, ET will be shut down in a week or two. This marks another black day in the history of Ziff-Davis, and the web will be a little less interesting once they are gone. With the rise of secondary news sites/blogs/shiny things, the news sources that they feed on are going away one by one. The passing of ET marks another step in that direction. http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/06/...s-extremetech/

| FWIW, the official announcement from the fired writers and the the new staff (of 1!) is that they are moving in a new, more cost effective direction. Realistically, it wouldn't surprise me if the whole of Extremetech just fades into the night. One man can not replace 4 excellent writers/technologists and the site will undoubtably lose readership/page hits... |
