The Slashdot Crew is deconstructing this since Sept 14th, reading their comments.
I see a hell of a lot of ignorance feeding itself on the Slashdot thread.
I think the comment that sums up the totality of the thread was that once the Geek Bench started showing Apple beating the bunch in everything, these clowns started claiming that Geek Bench Marks were not good for anything. . . And talk about being delusional.
Geek Bench Marks have been the standard in cross platform comparisons. It has not been found unreliable as these wanna-bes are claiming with zero evidence.
