Hardware Extreme undskylder...

Det lader til at i den artikel hardware Extreme har lavet om en Via C3 933 cpu, har de "lånt" nogle oplysninger fra PChardware ved nærmest at "kopierer/sæt ind" metoden.
Det kommer fra PChardware's artikel om C3 866mhz cpu'en, og de har desværre opdaget at HWextreme har lånt oplysningerne fra dem, i stedet for selv at finde dem.
HWextreme har dog erkendt deres fejl, og har labvet en offentlig undskyldning, som de har sendt ud i en mail, og de har ladet artiklen ligge online.
Vi har selv her på Hardware.test & overclocking.dk posted en nyhed om deres test, og bringer derfor også denne forklaring.
Artiklen fra Hardware Extreme ligger her:

Og artiklen hvor de har "lånt" oplysningerne ligger her:

Og så er der lige den undskylning som Hardware Extreme sendte rundt via mail:

"Dear Webmasters / Editors / News Updater / Anyone Else,

It has come to our attention that parts of the VIA C3 933 MHz review posted
in our site, Hardware Extreme have been plagiarized. When we commissioned
this review from Willie, the reviewer for the VIA processor, we were not
able to double check all the review sites on the web to make sure that it
was new and truthful material.

Hardware Extreme does not support or wish to support any form of stealing
material. We have worked hard to create a positive influence in the online
review world. Because of Willie's decision to provide us with information
that is not his own, we have requested him to rewrite the review using his
own words.

We have no interest in trying to cover up the mistake that happened here and
that is why you will see the review stay up, but we do not approve of these
practices and will do all we can to fix the current situation.

Best regards,
Melvin Tong

.....og når alt kommer til alt, er det vel egentligt det bedste at være ærlig - ik' ?
