I have watched Linus's videos for awhile however, I have never been much of a forum user. If my post count lowers my credibility that is very unfortunate. However, I would like to state that I trust Linus and his judgement. However it seems a little hypocritical to take money from a company to advertise their products and on the other hand disagree with a lot of the company's philosophies. When I watch your videos, I come for your opinion. When you take sponsorship from a company, at least I believe that it is your stamp of approval. Is that a wrong way to look at it? What I mean by stamp of approval is that you believe that they have good product and services. From what I have gathered from the WAN Shows, I can tell this is false. Has your opinion changed Linus? I would like to hear from you. Thanks first time poster MM
