CNET

Luck this picture birds in the see. This picture luck relax our mind. Too birds play game. This picture click in Mumbai.

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).

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.

I used to really trust this site but not since last software download installed nasty bloatware on my Win 7 PC. I will never download from them again unless I have to. Unfortunately, this bad experience makes me wonder about their tech reviews too.

For buying a big screen TV, good content, difficult to navigate - I just embarked on the process of buying a new HDTV and found that Cnet.com was a valuable, but difficult to navigate, source of information. While they have reviewed nearly all of the top selling products in significant depth, they have failed to create an easy to use summary section that is constantly updated with new reviews and updates. I often found myself reading and re-reading reviews because they were in multiple locations or because they did not provide a summary view of most recent reviews. I just want them to give me their top-5 recommendations by size or by specs and let me compare and contrast, instead of giving me hundreds of reviews.

My sense is that they are conflicted by all of the advertising on their site, and that they can't be as candid or strong in recommendations as they'd like to be.
