I just don't know what to think.. hmmmm.. *scratches head* I would like to commend you guys on keeping your site as objective as earthly possible. Kinda nice to hear about new technologies (such as this) and be able to form my own opinions (althought this one's a doozy) about any ethical concerns, etc. I applaud your site for just giving the facts and not preaching from the soap box. If only we could get "news" presented to us in such an unbiased manner! ;) Keep up the great work!" (MetalMINIMayhem 3/14/2007 7:21:25 PM) |
