Acquiring and dealing isn't building. This rings of the acquisition sprees that RIM and Nokia went on in the run-up to their dramatic declines. It's embarrassing to read Extremetech dress up the Beats acquisition as something of a coup - their industry reputation is somewhere between Monster and Bose (ie competent if unimpressive technology with overbearing marketing).

I'm going to copy and paste a comment of mine from a previous thread. Not 100% applicable due to the difference in the story, but the general idea of the comment is still true.

I think the real headline should actually say "It's time to stop submitting articles from Extreme Tech."

Their headlines never say the true intent of their article, and their article never comes to the conclusion that has been set up through the arguments. There is extreme bias and non sequiturs riddling the entire site.

It's a difficult read because of the logic errors, and everytime an article is posted from Extreme Tech, it seems everyone comes away with a different opinion of what was really meant. This isn't creative literature class. This is not a good way to run a website.
