They twist their words to fit their own narrative which is unhelpful to the reader and it can be perceived as fake news.

Amazing website for tech related information. The articles are based on latest trends and they are so informative. CNET provides tech product reviews, news, prices, videos, forums and more. I really like this site.
I trusted their review and it contain ed misleading information. It said that a lot of the features of the JBL 5 speaker were the same as JBL 4 and that it had speakerphone capabilities like its predecessor. It does not.
Thanks a lot guys! I was pleased to work with you. I will recommend this service to my friends! I am still under impression.
Luck this picture birds in the see. This picture luck relax our mind. Too birds play game. This picture click in Mumbai.
The internet is the great equalizer. In business specifically, it has leveled the playing field. Anyone can start a money-making online businessanyone with a computer, that is. But here's the thing: virtually no technical experience is needed. Today there are plenty of tools you can use to build an online business that makes the technical work a lot easier than it was in the past.
Online dealings do go wrong, I have been involve in one or 2 investments online that I lost money, I once used this platform too and I didn't see results, I was angry and had to talk to a friend of mine, He is a retired police officer who talked to me about hiring a PI to help me recover the funds, At first I never believed it would work but since he was in New york. I had to hire him and I wasn't disappointed. He asked for the login to my profile and was able to trace through and trace it to their master account
I find Sitejabber a useful tool when buying products. Being able to read about people's experience with a company, I am able to weigh up all the different angles to buying an item. It can give me an insight to how the company functions, from how easy it is to order, the product itself, how the company performs about returns and hints and tips
I am really happy for geting this site. That is specifi website. Thank you for sharing this site. I would definitely recommend my friends about your services
Used to get clean unbiased information on the latest tech. Now it's high end cars and sous vide? Bursting with ads, with articles that shift position while you are looking at them. Sometimes I'll select the wrong article because its 'shifts' right when I select it. Articles are reposted as new when they are not. A few good articles for sure, but now it's mostly over commercialized crap.
CNET Supports corrupt companies. Besides finding several apps that were listed as FREEWARE / No Fee, then finding they has a 20 USD price, I assumed employee's of CNET are lazy about verifying the products they represent. I finally found a product I liked called 'Write Monkey,' listed as freeware. I downloaded it, and found it to be a basic text editor like 'Notepad.' The higher functions I wanted were available only when a donation was sent. I installed the program, and sent in a donation. I was supposed to get a reply with a code. My bank verified the purchase was made. The guru had my money. Technically, it is not a purchase, as the leader one very slick guru, a master pomaranchathey, calls it a donation, but clearly stipulates the higher functions are available only when a donation is sent.
I received NO RECEIPT IN EMAIL, NO SPECIAL KEY... They are corrupt as they took my money with no return mail,
To recap; NO key or acknowledgement of my purchase they call a donation. It is a purchase as they say to received the higher functions, send a donation they will send a key. None of that happened. So I sent an EMAIL to the Guru explaining my problem. I received in reply a 'No user found via return reply. Write Monkey may or may not be great, but the head is Just one more fake guru, making money on off shore patrons who have no recourse.
When I tried to search the reviews, the site became absolutely unusable. Elements kept bouncing around so that filters I had no interest in would be applied (while I could never get the ONE I cared about to activate). Within 5 minutes the tab it was in was using 3.5 GB of memory (for comparison Amazon was at 650 MB after 15 minutes of active, successful searching).
Don't pull $#*! like popup video ads, that deceitfully generate a separate tab when you click the X, or you get a bad review.
I mainly come here for reviews, those are pretty decent. Concerning the downloads - got some drives couple of times without any problems. Yet its not the experience to say all the files are perfectly safe.
I have visited cnet for almost 2 decades and while they used to have good content all they offer now is an infinite variety of obnoxious ads that do everything possible to distract the user. Maybe you need a few adults to guide the kids who assemble this crap.
Tried downloading 3 pieces of software, every time I got a virus or malware. Just not worth the effort anymore coming here~
I have been in IT for 17 years, when I need software or freeware or my clients ask about software this is where I point them, They have a great site very user friendly and after using them for years I trust the information they have. If you are not sure about software you can even download a lot of good software directly from them and avoid the risk of getting malware tagged along in the package.
Over the years they have evolved and they also review anything technical be it hardware, software phones almost anything after using them as long as I have they have never steered me wrong and it is about time I thanked them.
They are knowledgeable trustworthy and I have never seen any bias on their part. An easy 5 stars!
*****Since writing this review I have read people including people here saying that CNET is now including malware with their downloads and going to great lengths to show the proof. I am not saying these people are wrong I am just curious why I have never had the similar experience, my first thought was that they have fake sites cloning them borrowing on their good reputation just as has happened with many other sites AVG being the first to pop into my head I have looked into the issue a bit and I can not dismiss the possibility that they have sold out but it is late and I am on a slow connection in Central America so for tonight, I will leave my 5 stars from personal experience in tact and hope until I learn more that they have not gone to the dark side as implied,*****
