<br><br>You can't ignore tv commercials [exception, tivo], but you can move your mouse the half inch to go to the next article in question, thus bypassing this article. Your analogy fails.

Well ARS I've considered to be one of the few *REAL* journalism sites on the web. Rarely do you see anything on tech news sites that give you an NPR-esk breakdown of nearly all sides of an issue and what particular news really means in a larger sense and cuts through the BS. 85% of sites are regurgitated news with occasional reviews. That be said I have noticed a decline in quality mostly I think due to expanding what they cover on. If they stuck to Technology/Science with a sub category in Technology that would be Gaming/Benchmarks then you'd have the 2 strengths of Ars Technica without all the bullshit like Microsoft and apple news, and whatever else they have journals on now.<BR><BR>I was truly considering a subscription as I've been visiting this site for the last 3-4 years more and more regularly and just recently (last year) have been participating in the forums/community. I'll have to wait and see now. I'm surprised they gave up on the subscription model. The quality of this site could've supported it.

I have been a long time reader of Ars, and more recently, an occasional contributer to the forums. To find out about this buyout via the discussion thread on an advertisement for the arguably pointless Job.Ars is disheartening. I hope there will be an official editorial acknowledgment within the next few days.
