That suddenly there is a review of the Lidatek product on the main page, and now we have banner advertising for them. I believe we have completely sold out....
There goes all regard for unbiased information.....

Default Maybe that's part of a new advertising package ? ;)

pay an extra bit and get yourself a biased front page review!

Default I don't see anything wrong with AudiWorld trying to secure new paying advertizers.

The article on the front page isn't a comparison among various laser jammer manufacturers. If it was, and Lidatek won, then I'd be suspicious. Until then, it's just one person's marketing blip on lidatek products. Treat it as a one big
advertizing banner if you will.

Default So a lidatek rep just happened to browse along to AW....

coincidentally, his companies product just got a good review!! "WOW, maybe we should advertise here! They already like us."

Default Yep, like i said... part of a new package for advertisers! :)

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Hell, i don't pay to use this site, more power to JET.

Default you mean like how the phatbox just kinda appeared the same way

and now we have phatbox adverts along with a review of them.

Strange how things repeat like that.

Default Kinda agree...

There isn't much mystery behind these laser jammers, and I doubt if there is much variability as long as you stick with the well known names (blinder, lidatek, escort). For all purposes, I look at that home page article as informational, regarding the technology behind all reputable laser jammers. There is no comparison or conclusion being draw as to which one is best.

In addition, don got this jammer quite a long time ago...well before the banner ad appeared, and he's been quite happy with it since day one. Personally, I think the article was born out of his satisfaction with a product he used in his car...but surely an email to don could clear that up, right?
