Veteran readers could just skim past the paragraph that explains the significance of the news while making reading phoronix more approachable for noobs like me.
One member shot down videos as a horrible idea. I think any howto video ought to have short&sweet written instructions to go along with it, but being able to verify that you're getting the same results as shown in a howto video provides more of a sense of security to the less experienced that it worked correctly.
Giving linux games more publicity would be good for everyone.
I'd like to be able to easily compare hardware performance, to see for example on a graph how much better off I'd be with a PhenomII X4 vs my 4850e or other stuff.
